day five

today i ran THIRTEEN miles. the full mileage of the half marathon... i did it in 3 hours(+ a little but i stopped to go to the bathroom 2 times, which will most likely not happen on race day, i don't think, due to excitement/momentum/etc.) my legs are pretty sore & the last couple of miles were actually the hardest.

i have not lost any weight this week, despite my eating & exercise habits. i know this is because i rarely get sleep, which is a huge contributing factor. this is really disappointing to see on the scale when i'm working so hard for it to come off. i'm trying not to let this discourage me too much.

i was totally wiped when i was done running. took a nice long nap. (when i probably should have been doing school work). i also made crispy spring rolls again for dinner(left over collard greens & cabbage i did not want to go bad). I documented them this time!

breakfast:
a bagel with almond butter

lunch:
banana
2 pieces of provolone cheese

dinner:
a piece of grilled chicken
crispy spring rolls

& i'll probably have some raw dark chocolate for a little bit of dessert later

here are the photos from dinner, in order:

all of the ingredients(minus the date dipping sauce, because i had leftovers from the last time i made it)


cutting the collard greens & spreading on the almond butter


filling them with the ingredients


all wrapped up & ready to eat(the date sauce on the side). some of my collard greens were getting a little flimsy, so they broke.
