I had a little time before bed last night, so I hit the mat for a short Lunar Flow yoga practice to get rid of some of the day’s stresses. It’s a sequence focused much more on stretching than strengthening, and it felt really nice. Then after eight beautiful hours of sleep last night, I [...]

5-Minute Meals
Posted: July 26, 2009 in FoodTags: almond butter, apples, english muffin, hummus, veggie burger, WW bread
A quick post for a couple quick meals! Last night was an easy one before I saw a late showing of The Hangover (which was pretty darn funny, glad I saw it). An Amy’s veggie burger on an Ezekiel English muffin with spinach and hummus. These are my very favorite veggie burgers because they’re tasty, [...]
I Made It!

I made it, that is, all the way to Level 3 of Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred. I liked it and it was tough, but the jury’s still out on which level I like best, 2 or 3. I’ll just have to keep doing Level 3 and find out. Some of the strength moves are [...]
LA Love

And that would be LA as in Louisiana, not Los Angeles. Though I’m not sure true Louisiana residents would recognize my po’ boys as anything remotely resembling theirs. But I consider this my version of a shrimp po’ boy! First up is the shrimp. Super simple: I steamed three ounces and seasoned with paprika. Then [...]

My lazy Sunday ended after a couple of hours when I faced Jillian Michaels and her 30 Day Shred. Today I did Level 2, which I really like, particularly the creativity of the strength moves. Of course, it went by fast and soon I was done with the strength training of the day! Yoga will [...]
Beans, Beans

I know whenever I open a can of beans that I need to be prepared with more recipes to use them up in the next few days. Never fear! You can see my first “leftover beans” recipe below. First comes breakfast. A green(ish) smoothie with one ripe banana, a handful of frozen strawberries, chocolate almond [...]
A Good Decision

I was planning to get up this morning and run before work. For that first minute or two when I woke up, though, I sure wasn’t feeling it. But I took the time to go through in my head what it would feel like to get my run in early versus having to come home [...]
Finally!

I have reliable internet back on my laptop. Yay! And with that comes a lot of updates. So here we go… Tuesday afternoon I made it over to our local farmers’ market. Look at the cute stuff I found! It’s a tiny zucchini and two adorable, striped tomatoes. It feels so nice to buy local, [...]

Lots of updates today, let’s dive right in! First up is lunch yesterday, in which I tried to use up my leftover canned salmon from Thursday (I use one can for two meals). Here is salmon with chopped zucchini, red onion, and paprika. I had an Ezekiel English muffin and a clementine on the side. [...]
Mountain of Blueberries and a Boring Lunch
Posted: June 8, 2009 in FoodTags: almond butter, apples, blueberries, english muffin, flax, Kashi, oats, walnuts
Well hello! After a fabulous weekend away, I was back at it this morning with stovetop oats as a nice fueling breakfast before work. Our fridge is currently overflowing with blueberries, so this is oats, a whole bunch of blueberries, walnuts, ground flax, and cinnamon. My lunch, however, was not that interesting since I had [...]
