COMMENT #97!!!
Army Wife, shoot me an email at Fitnessista @ gmail dot com and I’ll get your bars on the way!! I know I’ve got some Z-bars in there
So yesterday I started the morning with a full-sized breakfast cookie with golden raisins– using a 1/2 cup instead of 1/4 makes this a very satisfying breakfast!
I made some of the goodies to send out to the BSI winners from last week:
Banana bread (I had to taste it, to make sure it came out ok, haha)
Macaroon mix ready to be put in the dehydrator:
Megan brought me the best morning snack I could ever wish for:
Raw vegan banana ice cream with almond butter cups
If you could put heaven in a custard cup, this would be it
I took Bella to the vet, to Petsmart, then hit up the gym for a light leg day since my leggies were SORE from Wednesday night’s Zumba and Spin
| Warm up | 15 minutes at 4.0 with 2.5% incline |
| Leg extension | 35 lbs, 3 sets of 12 |
| Seated calf raise | +20 lbs, 3 sets of 12 |
| Plie squat | 12 lb kettleball, 3 sets of 10 |
| Abductor/adductor machine | 35 lbs adduction, 50 lbs abduction, 3 sets of 12 of each |
| Total time: 35 minutes |
I heated one of these beauties up for lunch while I choreographed for step:
Covered in Texas Pete:
I packed up a Larabar, carrots and H2O to take with me:
I taught step, which went EXTREMELY WELL because they fixed my mic!!!! I thought I was never going to have one again!!
School was laaaaaame (I used to love Finance and now I feel discouraged and dread going to that class), then I came home to watch some Grey’s and chill.
I started off this lovely Halloween morning with a TREAT:
I <3 raw vegan macaroons!!!!
Deciding to use every pumpkin dish I now own, I had coffee and the best savory oats I’ve had so far
-1/2 cup oats with Laughing Cow melted in and 2 soysage links crumbled and stirred in- seasoned with salt, pepper and Texas Pete
-1 "pop" egg on top
(and Mr. Pumpkinhead filled with Vanilla Biscotti coffee)
The b-fast was delish, but almost a little too much for me! Next time I’m going to use 1/4 cup oats… this meal was about 100 cals more than my usual breakfasts (not that I’m counting or anything.. yikes!), and I could feel it. The bonus is that it kept me full for longer and I only needed a tiny mid-morning snack.
Carrots and PB:
I ran some errands and went to Best Buy to get my laptop and they don’t have the one I want. So I’m either going to have to wait until they get it online and order it from the store, or go through Dell’s website. Bah. The good news is that Vieja Computadora is behaving rather well today.. knock on wood…
I met Jeni at Firehouse Subs and got my usual medium veggie sub on wheat. It was funny because I usually ask for sliced egg on it and the guy making the sandwiches was like "No eggs today?" and I explained to him I already had one for breakfast, but I was surprised he remembered my "usual"
I just munched another slice of my latest banana bread (to make sure it’s safe again.. hahah) and I’m about to hit the gym for upper body and meet Renee for a run.
Looks like I’m not going to wear either tutu tonight! My friends and I decided to get together and grill and we’re going to make a bonfire
Maybe s’mores are in my future??
Have a SAFE and very Happy Halloween!
xoxo,
G
