The Hungry Runner Girl: Give me my carbs now.

Tuesday, January 11, 2011

Give me my carbs now.

First off, after school I went to Costco with my mom and it was a good time. Costco + mother time = a lil glimpse of heaven.

While driving home all I coud think about was don't get pulled over again because I don't think a cop would let me off with the excuse,

"I am so hungry and I need carbs so I am driving 20 above the speed limit. Step away from the vehicle and nobody will get hurt."

Um, speed work makes me want carbs now and obviously that makes me have greasy bangs.

I wasn't going to mess around with a salad or something silly like that.

I needed bulk and carbs and that is what I got.

I went straight to the kitchen without saying a word.

Dipped chicken in an egg wash.

Covered chicken with italian bread crumbs.

Topped with Marinera and loads of cheese.

Stuck in the oven for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.

Cooked up some noodles and dinner was ready to be inhaled.

Billy thinks it is really funny to attack my head and try to slice my eyeballs with his new remote control helicopter. I live a hard life.

And no, I still haven't cleaned up yet. Carbs, catching up on Modern Family episodes and Running come way before making sure your home is sanitary.

I literally am going to bed at 9.

What time do you go to bed every night? Does your hubby/wife/significant other go to bed with you at the same time?

Poor Billy....I make him go to bed with me by ten every night. He is a good sport and never complains when it is still light out, most people are eating dinner and we are getting into bed. I have to admit on the weekends I am quite the party animal and stay up until at least eleven.

Marinera sauce or Alfredo? (Calories, fat etc don't matter in this question....we are talking only about taste mk)

-Alfredo all the way but we only had marinara sauce that I stole from my mom's food storage, it was delicious though. But if I am going to be honest about my sauce needs....PESTO is the winner. I could guzzle that stuff.

I TRY to get in bed by ten every night, but as a student sometimes that turns into 10:30 :( Computer is always off by ten though, that's my "cut off time" :)

I used to run about 4:15 in the morning, so I went to bed pretty regularly between 9:30 and 10:00 p.m. Now I run more often around 5:30, meaning I get to stay up until a whopping 10:30 p.m.- but I try to spend the last 1/2 hour or so reading in bed to get good and tired!

I go to bed pretty much at 10 every night, but it's been later the past couple of weeks. We got Apple TV for Christmas so we've been watching TV on Netflix like it's our job. Who knew there were so many good shows out there???
At January 11, 2011 at 6:35 AM , Eat: Watch: Run said...: My husband and I go to bed at the same time every night. If one of us wants to go to bed at 9, both of us do. If one of us wants to stay up till midnight, we do that too.
At January 11, 2011 at 6:46 AM , Sue G. said...: I could eat pesto with a spoon. Love it beyond all measure.
Bud and I don't live together, so I go to bed whenever I want. If I work a closing shift at work, I usually make it about an hour to 11:30 before I can't stay awake. Otherwise, I'm usually in bed between 10 & 11 so I can read before going to sleep!
I probably would not make Bud go to bed with me at the same time because I need some time to read every night--no exceptions allowed. Plus, he's a big boy, and can go to bed whenever he wants. :)

At January 11, 2011 at 7:06 AM , Anonymous said...: I always crave carbs after a longer run! I always get up super early in the morning and love having my "alone time" then. I am in bed by 9 every night. I don't make John get in bed with me when I go to bed because he would just toss and turn until I yell at him to get up and go watch TV. :) We have such a happy marriage, don't we? His "alone time" is at night after I go to bed for an hour or so. We cannot function if we are around each other at all times, which is healthy I suppose.

You're probably wondering when we get ::ahem:: adult time - don't worry, we've got it down pat! :) (Sorry if I offended your mom.)

Some of the BEST shows don't get over until 10! I try to be in bed at 10 at the latest and sleep until 7. Yes, I enjoy at least 9 hours of sleep on most nights.

Marinara all the way!

I don't like Alfredo-nothing to do with fat or calories, just not a fan. I LOVE pesto!

My husband is gone a lot when I go to bed. I'm working on trying to get there earlier. I can't seem to get my brain to slow down enough to let me sleep sometimes.

Man, that chicken looks good-even at 8 in the morning!

And definitely don't feel bad about going to bed at 10. If I could swing it, I totally would. I usually end up going to bed somewhere between 11 and midnight, even on the weekends.

And thanks for always commenting on my blog. Your comments make me smile!

I like mixing some marinara in my alfredo sauce. It makes a delicious creamy pink sauce that is amazing on all pasta. Not healthy at all but still so so good.
At January 11, 2011 at 7:41 AM , Legs said...: Too funny! I'm glad I'm not the only one. I make my guy come to bed with me each night too and my bedtime is 10pm! But he always tries to push it back later and it ends up being 11pm.

And I'd go w/ vodka sauce actually, the pink stuff. YUM!

I am usually in bed between 9 and 9:30- 4:50am comes early, but I have had a hard time getting back to my normal bed time since coming back from vacation- not cool!

I love all sauce: marinara, pesto, alfredo. I grew up in a half-Italian house so we ate red sauce all the time, so I can usually pass that up, I am a big pesto fan though, we rarely ever ate that!

Bed time 10pm

Alfredo

mr. dawn just made a resolution to be in bed by 10pm! this has never happened in our 3 years of marriage, but he's done it faithfully for two weeks now. swoon!

We're in bed by 9 every night, watch TV till about 930 and then i'm out! The hubby may stay up longer some times, but i have a strick tv volume rule that he follows!! I'm so mean!!!

And Marinara all the way!!!
At January 11, 2011 at 8:29 AM , Jen said...: Pesto all the way! I love marinara though. Your dinner looks fabulous! I'm impressed that you were able to wait until it cooked! Although raw chicken would be really gross.
We go to bed around 10:30 or 11. I need some me time and couple time after the kids get put to bed! But I don't get up at o'dark thirty either!

Also 45 minutes is a long time to wait for things to cook. And pesto is my favorite, but mix pesto with alfredo....put it on some pizza crust, chicken, tomatoes, spinach...ok I'm going to go eat my entire fridge now.

I'm a marinara kind of girl. Alfredo is too heavy and makes my stomach hurt.

I love me some Modern Family. I have some catching up to do, actually.

I try to go to bed by 10:00 every night. If I don't get enough sleep I am not pleasant to be around. Kind of like if I don't have my coffee with soy creamer and one sugar in the raw packet.

Billy is such a good sport and so are you for dodging flying objects. hahah! You make a great team.

I know I don't get enough sleep but I can't help myself. I stay up reading blogs and watching my shows, which Modern Family is one of my favs! When it comes to alfredo or marinara I must say it's mixing the 2. My favorite dish is chicken parm with marinara and a side of fett alfredo then mix them together. It's awesome!

I love them both, but if I was forced to try it would be marinera, the really good homemade kind, covered with parm. Funny, today we are having spagetti for lunch, kids had a snow day, but it's just Ragu, no time for homemade today!

I'm not great at consistently getting to bed at a good time because once my daughter is down, it's time for myself. One rule though is once she's in bed, I'm not cleaning or straightening up.

We also tried one of those slingshot monkeys that screams when you throw it, but missed terribly with that. Casualties included darts that were stuck to the ceiling, i'm sure they'll fall down eventually

Marinara sauce, I love tomatoes and in my opinion a good marinara can't be beat!

Carb of choice right now is brown rice. No sauce... just butter and salt :)

Hubby's better about going to bed early (and I'm the one that needs to wake up first!) He has to tell me to get ready for bed. Usually we go to bed in the 11-12 range, It should probably be earlier though.

I love to go to bed early...but my husband likes to go to bed late. We try to compromise...or I fall asleep on the couch. :)

That being said I always go to bed at the same time as my hubby 9:15, but I do get back up from time to time because I just am not tired at that point yet. With age I need less and less sleep. Used to fall asleep on the couch many a nights at 8:30, now I can be going strong at 10:30.

Marinara all the way. The cream in the alfredo gives me a belly ache. Damn my touchy stomach.

8:00 pm - Jason (that's the husband) falls asleep on the couch.

10:00 - 10:30 - Jason decides to go to bed. I tell him, "I'll be there in a minute."

11:00 - 12:15 - I go to bed.

~5:00 am - My alarm goes off and I say to myself, "I'm soooo tired...enough is enough!! I'm definitely going to bed SUPER early tonight!" (Yeah...never happens.)

And alfredo. The really thick kind from Pizza Factory.

And going to bed with a hot hubby is what I do too! I enjoy the sheets getting warm with the two of us. ;)

The picture of the helicopter attacking you made me laugh out loud. And serious workouts make me crave two things: protein and carbs. Running makes me NEED carbs. I'll come home after a good run and just shove an english muffin in my mouth on my way to the shower to take the edge off. Swimming makes me NEED protein. I'll swim laps while dreaming of egg beaters and tuna melts. So healthy. I remember the day that I broke a mile in the pool, the lifeguard was eating an Italian sub. Italian subs have NEVER appealed to me (only meat I eat is fish), but the smell of it was absolutely destroying me. I was so ready to tackle her to eat the meat out of that sub.

If The Husband would eat Alfredo lasagna I would totally make that instead!

I'm usually an early sleeper, but lately I've been a freaking night owl - my morning workouts have been feeling it!

Give me my carbs now.
