Booty-licious

Body:
Jeff was going to the gym after work and I felt up for it so we worked out together ...again! It was so much fun! We did his version of strength training as far as muscle group (opposition) but we did my version of "endurance lifting"... essentially lower weights but for as many reps as you can get. We make a great team!
Strength: Chest, Lats, Triceps, Biceps, Squats
Cardio: I did a mish mosh- I think it was 10 min elliptical, 5 minutes stair climber, 15 minutes elliptical, 5 minutes walking on the treadmill. It was going to be my "rest" day as far as cardio goes so it was more just a fun relaxing pace.

Mind:
Suduko and I filled out forms for the volunteer opportunity a co-worker of Jeff's sent me involving nutrition classes! What a perfect volunteer oportunity for me, I think it will be boat-loads of fun!

Soul:
Did some christmas shopping, some blog reading and .... (drumroll please)

I got a haircut!!! I don't ever like going in to get a hair cut or paying for haircuts all the time, but WOOHOO! :-) What do ya'll think??
I am very pleased with how Dani* did. ( I mention her name only so that I can remember next time I want a cut!) She was fun to talk to as well!


Delicious Dinner:

Spaghetti Squash with...

Sicilian Chicken ( I saw a recipe for this but didn't follow it at all really. I just used it as inspiration: a can of tomatoes, italian style in olive oil, a jar of TJ Marinara, basil, oregano, white wine splash, olives)

Globs of Goat Cheese (Trader Joes has a great variety!)

Lovely Lunch:

There is a tiny chicken breast in their - I had cooked several last night after we finished dinner with vinegar, texas pete and a teaspoon of smart balance light butter. Since it was Buffalo-style, I added some blue cheese dressing to my sammy. On the side Organic Green Beans ( frozen, microwaved from Trader Joes ) and an Oikos Blueberry Greek Yogurt.

Booty-licious Breakfast:

Super FRUITY Smoothie for Jeff and I :
It had milk, protein powder, frozen mango, frozen strawberries, frozen pineapple, a whole banana, and flaxseed butter. I had apple crisp with blueberries on the side- SO GOOD! That is 6 types of fruit in my breakfast! Totally booty-licious!

Lunch

Chobani Blueberry
Salad with:
green beans (frozen organic heated in the microwave)
leftover Salmon (from Kanki last night)
little rice and veggies (from Kanki)
some Goddess Dressing

Half of a whole wheat wrap with some of the salmon.

Body:
Run...5 miles... 41 minutes. Woohoo!

Mind:
Studied, Studied Studied for Metabolism Exam tomorrow afternoon!

Soul:
I love running

I had so much fun doing the taste test stuff! and it was a nice break from studying, I made dinner and cleaned up the kitchen and Jeff gave Jack a bath. Because Jack ran away :-( but came back an hour later and smelled worse than awful!

Put a new wallflower in some kind of christmas noel scent-

Did some domain searching for a new blog site. I want to be able to make sections for recipes, nutrition course info, exercise info etc.

It's a wrap

Lunch:
Tilapia Filet with mustard and a pickle on a whole grain tortilla, side of veggies- spinach and peppers

Pre Class Snack: Odwalla Super Protein Bar - I had most of it but brought the rest home so I could take a photo of it. These bad boys are 21% organic, have 220 calories and 16g of protein! I think they are absolutely delicious and taste like good food should, not like a protein bar with sugar alcohols...

Dinner:

Stir-Fry!
Grilled Chicken ( perdue chicken without hormones and raised in partially cage free hens)
Trader Joes Organic Green Beans and TJ Bell Pepper Mix (frozen and thawed in microwave)

Sauce: Lite Soy , Tbs Peanut Oil ( I don't buy this, I actually drain the oil from the Smucker's natural peanut butter I get and save it in a jar for occasions like this), Hot Sauce ( texas pete) and some of the General Tso's sauce I got a few weeks ago.

White Rice ( which I have never liked- not because it is starchy or lack of fiber- I just never liked it. Along with mashed potatoes, something about white food never sat right with me- I always wanted color and if something was white it should be sugary sweet. I know, I'm an oddball)
- i made it because I know Jeff wanted it and he is sick! I used a whole wheat tortilla but I did have a teaspoon of rice
stir fryin...
