something to think

All over the place

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!

If you want happiness for a day, go fishing.
If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime, help someone else."

From the weekend

in breakfast,Dinner,something to think

It’s been quite a weekend over here!

We took the little one to her friend’s first birthday party and had a blast.

After the party, we came back the house for our first home-cooked meal in quite a while

(so I bought the rotisserie chicken first, but it’s a step in the right direction)

This morning was patio brunch with the fam at Eclectic Cafe:

I ordered the turkey scramble and fruit, which was good, but not my fave. Last week’s lox and eggs were much better.scramble

And a pic of Bell, since she’s been lacking in blog face time lately ;)

Today we’re just chilling and taking care of things around the house before the week begins. I’m going to meal plan our dinners and grocery shop for the week, and get the Winter Shape Up workout together. I have a fun challenge for you guys tomorrow, so I’ll be looking forward to see what you send in.

Hope you’re having a very happy Sunday!

Swim in sorbet

January 27, 2012

I’m more of a cake girl (or pizookie girl!) than an ice cream girl, but twice this week, I’ve fully appreciated the beauty of sorbet. The Pilot and I took the family on a walk and then walked over to Frost for a little treat. Mango sorbet for me: Bella had vanilla It definitely stayed [...]

Superbowl Snacks

January 23, 2012

Even though it isn’t for a couple of weeks, Superbowl hubbub is already in full swing. I’ve mentioned this before, but after all of football games I’ve been to in my life, I still don’t really understand it. (My second date with the Pilot was an Arizona homecoming game) I understand touchdowns and field goals, [...]

Talking Shiba

January 20, 2012

For those of you who have also been missing your daily dose of Vies, here ya go: Ash and her hubby put that video up last night- the Pilot and I were cracking up watching it. They’ve taught Vies so many cool tricks. Over Easter, they filled Easter eggs with treats, hid them, and taught [...]

A chef in the kitchen

January 15, 2012

A cloudy day: Perfect for morning tea and chocolate   and there’s a chef in the kitchen making breakfast…. I’m a fan of that. Kyle accidentally went in to work too early, so he came to chill over here for a while. For breakfast, he made parfaits with gf granola, blackberries, bananas, blueberries and goat’s [...]

“Want a sandwich?”

January 12, 2012

It’s definitely cave mode over here.   I walked outside this morning to let Bell do her thing, and the fresh air felt so nice. It kind of reminds me of when I’d be home sick from school and then on the day I went back, the sun would seem so bright. Maybe we’ll take [...]
