Weeding Exhaustion

Today was hot, hot, hot. Just how I like it! I started my Sunday out with a cool breakfast;

• single serve container of Fage
• 1/2 cup TJ’s blueberry muesli
• drizzle of agave

Perfect meal for the weather….and very filling, too!

We went out to the farm today for the first time in a few weeks. I was in horsey withdrawal! My little Lacey is a big girl now. She’s out in the pasture with all the other Mom’s and babies. Here’s the little doll face;

She was all about giving kisses today! Behind her is another way cool horse….Mister;

Gotta love the markings on him, eh?

I made a great lunch as soon as we got home. I utilized a bunch of leftovers to make a “quesadilla”. WW wrap, broc dip, LC cheese, beer butt chicken and grilled zucchini;

On the side was some orange and yellow bell pepper strips, carrot sticks, yellow cherry tomatoes from the garden and the last of the broc dip. T’was a fabulous lunch!

Then I enjoyed a juicy peach from the market;

I <3 peach season in Ontario!!!

I spent the next hour and 45 minutes pulling weeds. OMG….did that ever wipe me out! My gardens look great now, though! It was one of those times where I felt great while at it, but as soon as I sat down….BAM……exhaustion hit me like a sledge hammer. I put my HRM on for shits and giggles and was shocked to see 361 calories gone! Holy smokes! I wasn’t at all hungry but knew I needed some fuel in me so I pulled out this green drink that I picked up at TJ’s last weekend;

I’m not very good at drinking my calories….never have been….so I poured about half of this bottle into a glass instead of chugging some straight from it. I also had an iced Stash coconut mango tea that I had made earlier in the day;

The juice was good, but s-w-e-e-t. I’m glad I only poured what I did because it was a little overwhelming by the end of the glass. That being said, I would buy it again if I had the chance and just drink it in smaller amounts because it had some great ingredients going on.

After sitting in a catatonic state on the front porch for a good hour, it was time to get some supper going. A while back we had bought a club pack of sausages and BBQ’d the whole batch, then froze them into single dinner servings. I pulled out one of these for the fam and had my hubby throw a leftover veggie Portobello & Swiss burger on the grill for me. I plopped it on a multi grain Arnold Thin with some chipotle mustard and raw marinara sauce. On the side was the second half of last night’s sweet potato and another candy cane beet.

Another home run dinner….and just to throw it out of the ball park? Cappuccino fro-yo with chocolate espresso flakes for dessert! :D

We visited my parents after dinner and I slammed back a bottle of water and 2 cookies while there. Left to do on today’s list is lunch for me and one for DS as his hockey camp starts tomorrow (8:30-4:30), getting my gym clothes ready to go and chilling on the deck as long as I can before the bugs come out to play. I hope you all had a fab weekend…

Bye for now!!
