I am having a lovely saturday. I woke up a little bit late (about 9:15) to enjoy a saturday morning brunch. I had some yummy salad topped with the quinoa/israeli couscous concoction from yesterday. It got even better after being refridgerated overnight.
yummo
The salad was so yummy I had another small bowl with some goddess dressing. The salad contained mandarin orange slices, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, carrots, red cabbage, spinach, and red leaf lettuce. There was probably more, but I didn’t make it so I can’t know for sure.
ok...maybe not such a small bowl
To round out my meal I had a wee bit of passionate mango ice cream
double and triple yummo
Then I went and ran errands and visited my boy at work. It was his last day. Funny story, he was getting ready for work this morning and packing his lunch. Last night I begged him to take the pasta and veggie dish because I was too sick of it to finish it off and I didn’t want it to go to waste. This morning when he was packing his lunch I saw him scooping out some couscous salad into a container. I exclaimed “what are you doing?! I thought you were going to eat the pasta!”. He said “you told me that couscous technically is pasta” (because it is made of semolina flour). Ugh! I finally talked him into half couscous and half leftover pasta. I still have a bunch of the pasta and veg in the fridge…maybe I’ll pack his lunch for him tomorrow

After errands I did P90x legs and back. The dvd player on our tv is broken so I had to use my laptop which skipped several exercises claiming damage on the disc. It threw me off a little bit but I didn’t complain about the shorter workout. I also did the ab workout for the last time for a week because next week is rest week. Don’t let the title “rest week” fool you tho, there is still a workout everyday and some of them are tricky.
I also went on a bike ride for about 25 minutes. I wanted to go longer but my sitbones we too sore and bruised feeling. I am still getting used to perching on that little saddle…I could have worded that better for a “thats what she said” opportunity. Oh, well.
Since I worked out for about 2 hours today I thought a protein shake was in order. I made it a green one with kale, spinach, and romaine. It also contained a banana, strawberries, blueberries, and hemp seed protein powder. It was ok, I think I added too much powder because it was very thick and gritty. Thats what I get for just blindly shaking the jar over the blender. Hopefully I learned my lesson and will begin measuring neatly (yeah right).
I also had more salad and couscous! You must be shocked.
very clean apt in background
Then I had more salad.
If I wake up green tomorrow I’ll post a picture for your mocking pleasure.
and then I finished off the ice cream. I avoided crying directly over the carton so I didn’t melt the last few spoonfuls. It only lasted two days and believe me, it was hard making it last that long. Thats what she said. Now I am stuffed (omg another one). I am going to try and do something productive with my evening…but Stardust came in the mail from netflix so productivity chances are slim to none.
goodbye dear friend
Final note: Goodluck to everyone racing tomorrow. Meghann of GraduateMeghann fame is running her first marathon. Holy Toledo Batman! And congrats to everyone who raced today, like Heather from HangryPants (half marathon? hellz yeah). I can’t wait for the recaps!
