Lonely Saturday

( my Saturday)

so my girls ditched me last night to spend the night at grandma’s house. and since we are done with soccer games and soccer practice I decided it was the right time to start that circuit class at the gym. I have been wanting to try it for awhile I just never had the chance. so before I went I had a banana and an egg white. It looked very intimidating, but there was no backing down now. It turned out to be so much fun.

I was surprised I was able to keep up with everyone else. I ven kept going when so many other fit looking people stopped! I’m going to try to make it to this Saturday class whenever I can.

After the class, I came home and made myself a veggie omelete and some toast. I had a iced chai latte that tasted so awesome. I found this cool coffee bean ice tray at target. You pour your coffee or tea in and instead of using regular ice cubes that waters down your drink, you use these. How cool is that!

I got ready to go do some window shopping, because lately everything seems so expensive. Its really hard for me to spend money these days.

My yoga instructor told me about this new restaurant last week called T-Coasters- the healthy choice, so I decided to try it. They have different types of juices, sandwiches, soups, fish, and desserts. Its not as healthy as I hoped for but oh well.

I ordered a veggie sandwich with a cauliflower soup. The cauliflower soup was a amazing. I’m going to try to recreate this soup. I absolutely love cauliflower! It tasted very mediterranian which I loved…

Now the sandwich on the other hand was horrible. There weren’t any real veggies in it! All it had was wheat bread, spinach, lettuce, avocados, and tomatoes. I could have made something better at home. Next time maybe I’ll try the fish instead.

Since I was still hungry I went to yogo berry to get a frozen yogurt with walnuts and mixed berries. It hit the spot. I only ate half and had the other half later in the evening.

Finally my girls came home and we are sitting here watching tv together. They make my life complete. I felt very lonely and awkward without them by my side.

WIAW- first timer

So I decided to jump on the bandwagon, and start “what I ate Wednesday”. Its a great way to show what kinds of food I ate without being boring.

For breakfast I had my preworkout pancakes that I eat twice a week to give me energy for my runs and fitness yoga. It is delicious and keeps me full for a few hours.

Then I went to the gym and ran on the treadmill for 40 minutes. I really pushed myself today. I didn’t have much of a choice since the incline button was stuck on 4!! Well I guess that will force me to stay at that incline now.

I came home and made myself a protein shake with frozen banana, chia seeds, flax seeds, vanilla protein, and almond extract. It always tides me over until lunch.

For lunch, quinoa spaghetti, veggies and mussels marinated with coconut oil & coconut vinegar. It doesn’t get any better than that!

I munched on crisp watermelon after lunch. I hate when watermelon is too soft. You never really know what you’re getting when you buy one.

When the temperature finally got under 103 we went swimming. It is REALLY HOT here and dry. I don’t know what we would do if we didn’t have a pool!

Dinner tonight will be homemade tomato basil soup with spinach and a slice of 14 grain bread toasted that I got from the farmers market this past weekend!
