Ho-Hum Day

I’ve nothing good to say about the weather today so why don’t we just move on to the awesomeness that was my breakfast?

• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup Quaker oats
• cinnamon, salt, vanilla
• blueberries & strawberries
• hemp seeds
• cinnamon honey

See that scrumptious blob of cinnamon honey?

Unbelievably good. ‘nuff said!

Its pay week so work moved along at a nice pace today. I munched on some random crackers that I found hiding in the back of one of my shelves as I was checking back the keypunching I did….

There was another handful like this one before they were gone.

I played around with my cardio at the gym today to shake things up a bit. I spent a 1/2 hour on the elliptical, 10 minutes on the treadmill walking at a speed of 4mph with an incline of 6%. I have to watch the incline yet where my ankles are concerned, but this was comfortable enough. Then I spent some time doing core work such as;

• 1 set of 20 reverse crunches
• 1 minute (or 60) mountain climbers
• 1 set of 50 bicycle crunches

• Time: 50 minutes
• Avg Hr: 156
• Max Hr: 179
• Calories Burned: 437
• Distance: 4.1 miles

I made sure to give my muscles a good stretch before I threw the towel in!

Lunch was another salad.

• left over greens from Sunday night
• cucumber
• cherry tomato
• broccoli
• grilled chicken
• balsamic dressing

I also brought some mango that was suppose to go on the salad but it was just so sweet and juicy that I decided I’d enjoy it better on its own!

Snackity snack before I left work was a Quaker Delight Toasted Coconut Banana Macadamia Nut granola bar.

These were also hiding in my cupboards and I squealed with delight when I found them!

I had to go back to the dentist after work because one of the teeth that got filled last week has been uber sensitive. He ground the filling down a bit and told me that if it’s still not right a week from now that I need to go back to get the filling re-done. Keep your fingers crossed for me! The dentist is NOT my favourite place to go!

I enjoyed a nice big plate of pasta for dinner….Fiber Gourmet to be exact. When the noodles were just about done I added a few big handfuls of baby spinach to the water and let it wilt down. That then got tossed with about a half cup of chicken lentil sauce that I made awhile ago and froze…

A quick, tasty, filling meal! So filling in fact, that I didn’t even think about any dessert. Not the norm for me!

Tonight is going to be a kick back and relax sorta night. There’s nothing on the agenda except parking my rear on the couch! :) A walk was going to be in my future, but it’s looking like more rain is not far off. Boo! Enough of feeling sorry for myself here!

Bye for now!!
