The theme for this month's What I Ate Wednesday is sensible snacking. Thanks Jenn at Peas and Crayons for hosting WIAW.
Since this past weekend's tamale festivities, kept me super busy, I was behind in the snack department. This morning I made my old standby snack.

While I was preparing dinner tonight, I boiled some eggs. After clean-up, I made a tuna salad. I add just a teeny bit of light mayo, and lots of mustard. Also, I only put the hb egg whites, chopped celery and red pepper.
I took the leftover hb eggs, red pepper, and celery and put it in a to-go container. This will be another snack this week. I will probably pair it with hummus.
Then I sliced up watermelon and put it in a container.
Workouts: Monday
It's been raining here for the past few days, but I finally got to the gym late Monday morning. I did a chest and tri superset workout followed by 15 minutes on the starimaster.
Tuesday:
Ran 4.3 miles, 25mph winds. If you know anything about South Florida, it's flat and is never windy. We were feeling the effects of a tropical storm.
Crossfit update:
Since I strained my back for the very first time, on my first day of crossfit, and then hurt it again Sunday night, I haven't been able to go back. I went 3 days the first week, and one day the following week. The WOD's the rest last week involved exercises that would not be the best for my back.
I like some of the principals of Crossfit, such as doing different workouts each week. I like that it's challenging and fun.
However, I would rather not lift heavy weight at the risk of injury. I know if you have proper form, it lessens the risk. I have been lifting weights for many years and have never had a strain like this.
I will go back, just not until I can complete a workout.
On another note....Side stitches.
During the St. Pete Women's half marathon last November, I was plagued with a side stitch. It was with me for a few miles. Here is a recent article in Runner's World that has 4 ways to avoid or get rid of a side stitch.
1. Eat mindfully pre-run
