I am completely over the treadmill. I’m losing my mind AND motivation on that thing. Next week, I’m running the Ragnar Relay Del Sol in Arizona. I can only hope my treadmill training will cut it. And I’m hoping to return to warmer Utah weather. We’ve had a few teasers of nice days this week that got my hopes up. Brett and I even went for a run Tuesday evening outside. But the next night, a snow and wind storm hit and our power was out for hours. Can’t it just be over? Like permanently over.
On another note, I am completely obsessed with avocados. I could eat them on anything and sometimes just eat them by the slices.
My latest lunch obsession is avocado toast (served with a side of broccoli).
Avocados are high in monounsaturated fats, the good kind of fat. The kind that actually reduces our cholesterol level. We can even save ourselves a few calories by replacing mayo or butter with a little mashed avocado.
I feel completely good about my avocado obsession. Now, if I could just get over the treadmill blues. I have a feeling we’ll need to be friends a little bit longer.
I’m going to make this!
Sometimes the treadmill is the only way I can run (during football season) and I hate it too. It’s so much better running outside. Good luck on your race. What a fun adventure…
Kristy that looks TASTY! I have an avocado in my fridge that is begging to be eaten, and I feel like you’ve found the solution for me. I didn’t know you were doing the AZ ragnar!!!?? Awesome. You are going to never want to come back after you go there. The weather there right now is seriously perfection. I’m jealous.
This is so funny, I have been on a huge avocado kick lately and I seriously just spoon it onto toast and smear it around…it is soooo good. Parm on top would just be amazing!
I love avocadoes, and that lunch looks simple and tasty! I don’t know what it is lately, but I feel like everyone I talk to is craving after avocadoes – including me! 🙂
Ugh I need to become bff’s with my tread mill too;) lol This avocado toast sounds yummy!!
Good luck with ragnar. You’ll do great. 🙂
P.S. I’m going to start coming to your house for dinner. 😉

Oh how I love avocados too! I will definitely be making this for lunch this week!
I’ve never thought of making an avacado like this. I love parmesan cheese and this looks really delicious!
I am headed to the gym now to get on the treadmill and hoping that it warms up enough soon so I can get outside and not freeze.
Have a great weekend Kristy!
I wish I was coming with you!! The AZ Ragnar sounds so fun, let me know how you like it…I’d love to do it next year! Love the avacado toast idea….p.s. that bread looks delish! Is that Dave’s killer bread from costco? Love it!
gorgeous photo! looks so healthy and fresh!
Ugh, I hate the dreadmill too. Good luck! I love the simplicity of this recipe. I can definitely see myself quickly making this for lunch. Thanks for the idea.
