Must Have Munchies....and Sweating off Some Thorns!

Today's question from Fitness Cheerleader is:
What are 5 foods you can't live without?
Now while I try my hardest to eat clean and healthy most of the time, these foods are mixture of both!
1.  Guacamole...without question!  I know it grosses out my hubby just how much of this green goodness I can consume if left to my own devices!
2.  coffee...Fancy Nancy runs on Dunkin! Imagine my sadness since I gave it up being pregnant (although I have worked in some decaf varieties)

3.  Salad....seriously though I love it!
4.  water...water...water
 5.  chocolate....ok so this is probably more of my pregnancy hormones talking!

Your turn....5 foods you can't live without...GO!

Yesterday I headed out early, in an attempt to beat the heat, to run the Sweat Your Thorns Off 5k held by Adam also known as "The Boring Runner".  Now if you read it, Adam is so not boring but instead cracks me up!  Last year I ran this race and it really wasn't the sweat fest I was hoping for....not so yesterday!  The infamous New England humidity had worked it's magic making the thick and just yuck!  I certainly got in the sweat fest I was picturing!
This was half-way....my last Rhody run before heading back to the Cape so I took my favorite route along the ocean!
Trying to look hot....yeah this hat is light pink normally before I become a sweaty Betty!  Yeah I know...I just look surprised instead of hot like I'm surprised how humid it is!  I finished the 5k in 34:27 and kept going for a total of 4.  I do have to say that either it's the heat or the fact that I'm 30 weeks (or both) but I think my running days are turning a little more into power walking days.  Either way I'm psyched to still be active and out there!  Thanks again to Adam for another year of "Sweating Your Thorns Off"!

    2. Pasta
    3. Powerade Zero strawberry (figure it balances out the Coke)

  2. Coffee is on my list. I gave it up for the first several months of pregnancy, courtesy of awful morning sickness....but I got back on the horse in my third trimester. I loved 7-11's decaf while I was pregnant!

  3. I think it is AWESOME that you are 30 weeks and still getting out there and being active and healthy. You rock!! My must have munchies would be berries, bananas, peanut butter, sweet potatoes, and Cinnamon Chex cereal (gluten free!) :)

  8. Nice job on your 4 mile run yesterday! My five favorites change from time to time. I tend to eat the same things for awhile and then move on to another set of foods that I eat for awhile. It's so strange but I've always been that way.
