The last time I took a rest day was Sunday, the 6th. That's quite a few days in a row, not usually how I like to do it, but how it's worked out. Because of the NYRR YPC event Thursday night, I plan on taking Friday as my next rest day. Since that's still a few days off and I have Zumba tonight, I did an easier workout this morning. 40 minutes on the elliptical and strength training. It was a good workout and I think I'm going to do this on Zumba days. I still get my heart rate up (with little impact on my feet) and put more emphasis on strength (which I need), and then get a good cardio workout at night.
Breakfast is pretty simple. I've been using almond milk a lot lately (since I started consuming less dairy) but when I was at Trader Joe's on Saturday they were out of my usual Almond Breeze, so I had to try something different.
I couldn't compare the nutrition stats but I picked up what I thought was the best. Well, it has 30 extra calories and 9 extra grams of sugar. The fat is .5grams lower, but that's inconsequential to me. The taste is pretty good, but I definitely like the unsweetened original Almond Breeze better for my cereal. It's okay to try new things once in a while, but I hope to find the AB next time!

- What's the longest stretch you've gone without a rest day?
- Do you drink milk, almond milk, soy milk, other? Or none at all?

I'm a big fan of the unsweetened Silk Almond. I haven't tried to Pacific kind.
I don't like milk..... never have, even as a child. I do like skim when I eat cereal or when I make hot chocolate. Hardest thing is I have to make sure I get calcium elsewhere..... thank goodness I love cheese and yogurt! Oh, and our Valentines was so low key... soccer practice and watching the coverage that we recorded from Sunday's race. Exciting, huh?
The cookies look amazing. I would die for a cookie right now...and grilled cheese sandwiches with peppers and onions :) That sounds like a great valentine's day.
