It’s been Like This

Hello, everybody! I’ve still been spending copious amount of time outside. Despite some people being over this heat wave, I’m still loving it! They’re calling for rain later on and tomorrow and I guess we do need it. *sigh*

Breakfasts have been hot:

• 1 cup water, 1/3 cup oats, raspberries, raspberry truffle coffee powder and mocha hazelnut sprinkles

They’ve also been cold,

• 1 cup USVAB, 3/4 cup cooked quinoa, 2 tbsp chia seeds, cinnamon, Enjoy Life Foods beach bash trail mix left to thicken in fridge overnight

Morning snacks have been good!

And not so good…

This bar got better as I ate it, but at first I thought it tasted really grassy, not chocolaty and it didn’t smell too good, either. Meh, I’d eat it in a pinch, but won’t be running out to buy it any time soon. I have another flavour to try yet and I hope its better.

Gym workouts have been old AND new routines:

• Time: 35 minutes (treadmill; 20 min walk, 15 min run)
• Avg Hr: 160
• Max Hr: 179
• Calories Torched: 364
• Distance: 2.9 miles

• Time: 30 minutes (30 Day Shred on my laptop from home)
• Avg Hr: 138
• Max Hr: 169
• Calories Torched: 217

Me waiting for the previews to run through:

I enjoyed doing the shred at work and will be bringing my laptop twice a week to do it. The other 2 days will be cardio.

Lunches have been typical:

And random:

Afternoon snacks have be berry good. :)

My hubby has been working a lot of overtime this week so I’ve been on my own with the kidlets for dinner. The BBQ has been my friend! Chicken last night that luxuriated for 24hrs in Averie’s Mango marinade, sautéed mushroom and red peppers and quinoa:

The quinoa had extra coconut mango sauce on top. Averie’s marinade was out of this world. She used it on tofu, but I know she won’t diss me for dressing my chicken with it! ;) Tonight was hotdog and mac n cheese night for the kids, my dinner was a green one:

Random snacking has looked kinda like this:

Just not in this order! My evenings have been spent lounging on the deck like this:

And at the soccer field….yes, I finally took some pictures!!!

And as Bug’s Bunny liked to say, “That’s all, folks”!!

Bye for now!!
