Smoked salmon is back in my life in a big way….

So salty and glorious.

Before coming downstairs to make breakfast, I had to convince the lazy girls it was time to start the day.

The one on the left still has night and day in reverse.. especially after last night. Party animal :)

Some more recent eats:

My all-time favorite Trader Joe’s salad, the Super Spinach

Spinach, pumpkin seeds, cranberries, quinoa, carrots, tomatoes, garbanzo beans, edamame, miso dressing…

and this picture is kinda gross-looking, but the combo is amazing:

This morning, we’re going to take a walk –Bell needs to get out of the house, she was doing sprints last night- and later today, I’m going into work for an hour Tabata training. I’m really excited to see my work friends again, and check out the new class format.

Have a great day and I’ll be back later with a Family post!

All over the place

by Fitnessista on February 3, 2012

in snack,something to talk about,something to think

It’s Friday!! Thank goodness :)

I’m so glad you liked the February list! I’ll also be posting the Schweaty February Workout on Monday as part of the last week of Winter Shape Up workouts.

You guys inspired me with your comments, so I decided to go through the intimidating mail pile.

I got distracted midway through:

New Zumba music! Yes, please.

So remember when I cooked dinner and made oaties in the same day this week?

Well there hasn’t been much kitchen productivity since then. Meals are still all over the place, and I figured that if I can make 2 legit dinners next week and build on from there, that will be bueno.

We ordered takeout last night, and before bed I enjoyed my first egg and jelly combo:

(Thanks to Julie for planting the seed in my brain)

2 eggs atop a Van’s waffle with a small salad for some veggies

I’ve also been lacking in the veggies this week, so one of my goals will be to chop and steam some on Sunday, so they’ll be ready to grab and eat throughout next week.

Avocados,  greens and fruit and have been pretty easy, since they’re low maintenance, and this has been a frequent combo over here:

toast, greens with Goddess dressing, chicken, 2 eggs

and 1/2 an avocado

So good :)

Anything fun going on this weekend? We have Liv’s newborn photos tomorrow and brunch at my nana’s on Sunday. I can taste the egg casserole already…

Monday, I’ll find out if I’m cleared to resume normal physical activity. I’m hoping everything looks good to go and am excited to get back into doing the things I love so much. Of course, I’ll have to take it slowly since I’m still recovering, but a Monday night gentle yoga class sounds incredible right now.

Hope you have a wonderful day!

The weather here has been outta control gorgeous lately, so yesterday morning, Livi and I met up with Meara and her kiddos at La Encantada. Since we’re in between seasons –Tucson can’t decide if it wants to stay spring until spring, or randomly turn into winter- no major purchases, but lots of walking and window [...]

Options for newbies

January 19, 2012

Bella says “good morning!” – she seems to be the only one with extra spunk today. We’ve been waiting until late morning to come downstairs and start the day. As good as it feels, I think by next week when the Pilot goes back to work I’ll be ready to get going a little earlier. [...]

Meals on wheels

January 16, 2012

We have a lot of traditions in the squadron that I really love. The dining outs, hails and farewells, coffees, and girl time while the boys are at roll call or deployed are just to name a few. We really are like a family, and it’s comforting to know that we have instant support and [...]

About and out

January 13, 2012

After last blogging about living in cave mode, we were out and about all day today… and it was glorious. I packed up a little breakfast (nothing like a turkey sandwich in the morning) and we went to the squadron to say hi, 2 doctor appointments, a lab appointment and back home to free Miss [...]

Hi, Thai

January 7, 2012

I love the weekend. So does Bell, who is definitely back to 100% after her night of sickies. She’ll shake her tail off at everyone, beg for chicken, snuggle… and give you the stink eye when you leave to go to dinner. The Pilot had to work a little later last night to catch up [...]
