Salt & Humor

Gym workout yesterday was great.  Elliptical, 30 minutes and stair master, 20 minutes, 30  minutes arms and stomach.  Made a post workout green smoothie.  :)

For dinner I fixed collard wraps and carrot fries.

Stuffing, left over diced tempeh, mushrooms, red bell pepper, green onion, parsley and 1/4 cup TVP. I blanched the collard leaves and rolled.  Extremely filling and I still had left over filling that topped my lunch salad.

Anyone else have this little issue when they are on the computer???

Today I wasn’t feeling the idea of going to the gym.  So I treated myself to 30 day shred instead. (ha-made a rhyme)  Great workout!  Then I also did Less is More yoga with Lizabeth Garcia.  I really enjoy this one.  It is only 18 minutes and a great workout (for me) it is probably considered basic yoga.  I am still a yoga newbie.  All I know is I can feel it the next day and that is exactly what I need.

While laying on the floor for abs I realized why it is that the tree skirt will not stay put!

HUH…. Fancy that!!!

Time to put some stuff in the magical bread machine.  It’s pizza night!

I think I am just getting back into the swing of things.  Being sick takes a lot out of you, dangit!  Not only did I not get my workouts in but the house is a disaster.  I hate when the house gets all cluttered.  Sometimes it seems so much harder to get it all cleaned up than when you can just maintain it on a daily basis.  Jason is off tomorrow.  I’m thinking of a honey-do list as I write this.

I had leftover cabbage salad Friday night.  I also made stuffed acorn squash.  Nothing to exciting. What was exciting was the blueberry bounty buns that I made Sunday morning.  I snagged the recipe from Vive le Vegan!  I am so in love with these little things.  They are kinda like a cross between a muffin and a scone.  You must try for yourself!

So, back into the swing of things was my typical Monday.  Sometimes that alarm time comes all to soon. I am still trying not to drink to much coffee.  I was having a hard time staying hydrated while I was sick.  The lack of my Monday morning coffee may be to blame for the sha-bang headache I had all afternoon.  Grrr… I wanted to do something for a little workout, even though my headache hadn’t gone away yet.  It had been over a week since my travels and then being sick.  I settled for yoga on demand.  I love fit tv.  Sometimes it is just what I needed.  Plus, it always has several Jillian Michaels workouts.

Dinner was also quick.  Tuna salad wrap with mustard(s), celery, pickles, fire roasted peppers, avocado and spinach.

It was just enough and not too much.

Following dinner, I had a Dove Promise… Not the one my Gracy stole from the bowl of leftover Halloween candy though.  I first discovered this little habit when we got home from our trip.  No worries, I thought.  Possibly just a little acting out from the being left alone for four days.  Tonight, I came home to find three different pieces throughout the house! Kitties!
