Well I’m keeping my fingers crossed this rain clears up because we have lawn tickets for Rascal Flatts tonight!!!! gah! Concerts not till 8:00 though tonight so we have time to stop raining and dry out. Hopefully.
Surprisingly I have not been hungry AT ALL today. This is pretty much the strangest thing ever because usually when I run any distance over 2 miles, I am famished and graze like a beast all day long. Today I ran 5 miles and food is not appealing at all. What gives? The heat? The treadmill? Is it bad I consider myself to sort of have ran a “fake” 5 miles since it was on the treadmill? I need to get that out of my head.
Regardless, I did eat (obviously) and I ate a pretty killer sandwich at that.
I bought one of those rotisserie chickens at Costco on Thursday ($4.99 baby!) and sliced her up for a sammie today. This is breast meat (no skin) with hummus, pickles, spicy mustard and greens on Ezekiel bread. Even though I wasn’t technically starving it was still delicious!
‘Specially served with a juicy peach!
The majority of my day so far has been spent poolside (before the monsoon hit) and living vicariously through Kath, Jenn and MizFit as they live it up at BlogHer09, which is being held in one of my very favorite cities ever: Chicago. Just found out that BlogHer10 though is in NYC and you better believe I will be there!
Tonight we are eating and having pre-concert cocktails at The Wine Exchange and then Erin’s boyfriend is dropping us off at the concert….Ryan will be picking us up! This IS my birthday present after all! 
I was at the Rascal Flatts concert three years ago here and I won’t go into details about the craziness of that night. Let’s just say Jenna was one week away from 21 and there may or may not have been jager bombs involved. Note that in the past three years I have not TOUCHED (or smelled) anything with jager in it. Just sayin’.
Gotta get my cowboy boots on! ow ow!

I have heard that sometimes when you work out at an intense level it will actually decrease your appetite. I have had some experience with this also so I believe it’s true. Maybe that’s what’s going on with your stomache today.
Aww I hope you have fun tonight! I love the Rascal Flatts!!! Can’t wait for the conference to be up here in NYC by me!!!
Have fun tonight! And agreeing with Christianne, sometimes coupling heat & pushing myself harder has decreased my appetite, so don’t worry too much, it will probably come back tomorrow full force!
Treadmill running *definitely* counts! It’s slightly different than being outside, but it’s still a great workout!
Have fun tonight, but stay away from Jager.
The heat definitely affects my hunger, too. But then it comes back full force the next day! I hope the rain stops!
Holy Yum Jenna – that sandwich looks amazing!
Costco chickens seriously make my life a LOT better.
Gahhhhh I also have sworn off Jager for life. A lesson we all have to learn on our own, I guess!
Have so much fun tonight Jenna!! I would kill for cowboy boots and dancing around in the grass tonight!
I’ve never had jager… but my husband had ONE bad night with it himself… and I’ve never even seen him get near it again
have fun tonight! Hope it doesn’t rain!
ENJOY THE CONCERT!!
Aww, you are going to have a blast tonight! I hope it dries up for you! It’s raining her too and pretty much all of our plans got messed up. Boo! Have a great night!
Sometimes I am not AT ALL hungry after a longer run either. It goes one way or the other – either I am ravenous and graze all day like you said or I just don’t want anything. Weird!
I’ll keep my fingers crossed that the rain stays away for ya! It’s lookin’ pretty good right now!
Have a great one, girl!
that sandwich looks beyond good! x
Have fun at the concert!! I am pretty psyched the BlogHer is in NYC next year because I can just hop on a train! Your sandwich is amazing!!
hahaha i think most people have had one of THOSE experiences with jager. it’s just not a good idea haha. have fun tonight!
Yummy looking sammy! Rotisserie chickens are the best news. I love Rascal Flatts – have a blast! Last time I went to one of their shows it poured rain, and they still rocked my socks off. Have fun!
Well either way your lunch looks great! I hope you get to go to the concert and have a blast!
Ahhh jager bombs… Unfortunately, I cannot say it has been that long for me…
Doing a little sun dance for you, have fun at the concert!
Hey Jenna, maybe it was the excitement about the concert??! I always get a weird belly when I’m excited – I lose my appetite completely. Have a wonderful time at the concert!
Make sure you eat! I ran 4.6 miles today (do NOT know how you can do that on a treadmill!!) and I’ve been starving all day.
oh have fun at the concert, hope its not rainy!
i want to go to blogher…

MMMM!!! That peach looks good. I might have to grab one of mine out of the fridge.
A FAKE 5 miles?! That makes me sad, J!
Since you KNOW I am the treadmill queen! I hope the rain holds off for your concert, I love Rascal Flatts. Enjoy~
The sammie looks great! Even if you weren’t too hungry for it!
Augh, it’s been raining all day here in Wisconsin too! Hope it clears up for your concert tonight! Can’t wait to hear all about it.
Hummus + mustard + pickles has got to be one of the best sandwich condiment combos ever. I’ve been mixing spicy mustard and Sriracha for a while now, and have a batch of homemade pickles in the fridge. Now for the hummus…!
(I just started my blog and have you on my blogroll; I love keeping up with you and your adventures!)
xoxo
I hope the weather works out for you! Have a great time at the concert!
HAVE FUN AT THE CONCERT!!!!
HOW FUN!
Your sammie looks delicious. Hmm, and I thought I wasn’t hungry.

My last Rascal Flatts experience was a birthday gift as well. However, due to the lines and prices I nursed the same draft beer (all they had!) all night…
I hope the concert was awesome! I love Rascal Flats!
fun times Jenna!!!! I love the Rascal Flatts. So glad you guys got out last night and partied
Have a blessed Sunday!
