I Got Nailed!!!

Now, get your minds outta the gutter! LOL! Read on to get the whole story….

I started the day off with a batch of marvellous pancakes.

• 1/3 cup oats
• 2 tbsp WW flour
• 1 pkt Amazing Grass chocolate powder
• 1 tbsp cottage cheese
• 1/4 cup egg whites
• squirt of agave, dash of vanilla extract & salt
• 3 tbsp water

I mix the batter up in the MB to get it very smooth. Once I poured the batter in the pan, I topped the cakes off with some fresh blueberries. Post cooking, they received a layer of macadamia nut butter and the last of the strawberry banana jam. Divine!

With a full belly I sat down to cruise the net for a bit and at 10am we set out to enjoy the beautiful morning with a bike ride to the lake. The path we decided to travel on is off a 2 lane highway, about 3km out of town. We live on the edge of town so it only took us 15 minutes to get lakeside. The scenery was breathe taking and I kept repeating to the fam that I can’t believe I have lived in this city my whole life and have never been down this trail until today. Here are a few pictures I took along the way.

And a few of us enjoying the adventure!

You are looking at me sans make up here! :D

What a GREAT time! Just as we were about to get back on the highway home, I noticed that my rear tire felt odd. I looked back to see this;

Uh-oh!! With 30secs, the tire was flat as a pancake. I told the fam to go ahead and I walked the rest of the way home. I’d estimate that I arrived home only 15mins after them. And I was one hot, sweaty, thirsty gal! That aside, I actually enjoyed the peacefulness of the walk. Now I have to make the decision on either a new bike or fork out the cash to fix the tire on this OLD one.

After a much needed shower, I settled down to a fabulous lunch. I toasted up a Stonemill English muffin, topped it with thinly sliced Ginger Gold apple, whipped cottage cheese and cinnamon. The remainder of the apple found it’s way on the plate as well;

The afternoon was really low key. I made the Hungry Girl “Can’t Believe It’s Not Potato Salad, read my book and played with KC. We also got a beer butt chicken going on the BBQ. I enjoyed a mid afternoon snack of an iced coffee and a Kashi Mocha Almond bar;

So, my dinner was pretty predictable! Chicken and salad!

Dessert was a cool Skinny Cow bar;

I just spent some more time reading and now DD and I are going to get KC for a nice walk. Lunches are done for tomorrow and school bags are packed and ready to go in the morning. YAY!

Bye for now!!
