Another beautiful and sunny morning to wake up to today and it felt great!
I started off the day the same way I did yesterday with the best bowl of oatmeal ever. Everything about it was perfect and it was cooked just right:
The mix:
1/3c oats1/2c unsweetened vanilla almond breeze1/2c water1/2 banana chunked and cooked in with the abovepinch of salttbsp of flax mealsplash of vanilladash of cinnamonsplash of sugar free cinnamon dolce syrup1 tbsp chocolate PB28g toasted sliced natural almondsa few chocolate chips10g almond butter on the spoon
And again just because it was THAT good!:
(To my anonymous commenter asking about how I cook my oatmeal, I posted the method here on the our Message Forum for the BLBE )
It was so lovely outside that I had to of course take Lucy for a walk. I was all excited to listen to some Jilian Michael’s podcasts on my walk (thanks Jeni!) when I realized that I didn’t have my iPod! pfffft! Minor glich though since it was a beautiful day, so I just enjoyed the sun and the walk. It wasn’t super long, only 30 mins, but was great still.
As usual, my morning breakfasts fall a bit later than usual, so by the time Lunch rolled around I really ended up with two snacks throughout the afternoon instead. I took the opportunity to enjoy my favourite Larabar, the Coconut Cream Pie one:
And I had a bowl of Mocha Liberte No Fat Probiotic Svelte Yogurt topped with some drizzly chocolate PB2, a few crumbles of granola clusters and a few sliced almonds:
And then hubby and I had an appointment and I snagged a handful of sweet & savory trail mix on my way out:
After we got home, I bonded with Jillian and the girls and got shredded even though my quads are questionably sore. I can’t remember the last time they were worked this hard. Man I am SUCH a wimp! It’s only level 1 for crips sake! Ah well, I feel fan-friggin-tastic ever since I started doing it. I feel firmer all over and feel slightly “buffish” too :-D
For Supper this evening, I decided to try one of the Amy’s Spinach Feta in a Pocket Sandwich. It was SOO good! So far so good with the Amy’s products that I’ve tried so far. I got all vege-fied with the side dish and I am so used to eating all of the leafy greens now that I don’t even think twice about it. It wasn’t that long ago that I had never even eaten kale, or chard or bok choy and now I’m eating something of the sort every single day just about! I’m sad that I missed out on them all of these years! They are so easy to cook and eat! I sauteed some red onion, zucchini, mushroom and prosciutto in some EVOO and once browned and tender, added a few handfuls of red swiss chard, kale and fresh spinach and let it all wilt down. I also added some minced garlic and S&P and a sprinkle of crumbled feta at the end. Two feta stuffed pimento jalapenos were the perfect way to top it off:
And it was so good!
And now the clock is ticking and I have to get my buns upstairs to get my lunch prepped for tomorrow! It never ends does it?!
Oh and I just wanted to say………………….
A-TEAM RULES AND TEAM LEAN DROOLS!…………
neener neeener neeeener! :-P
