A lot to catch up on

Greetings.  So I have finally gotten the time to sit down and write.  I am sorry if you have missed me, I have missed you.

So my plan to catch up from where I left off Wednesday morning is to work backwards.  So when you read this you are reading the most recent activities and foods all the way down to the least recent ending with Wednesday.  

So, Happy Good Friday everyone!  Seriously the best day weather wise that we have had.  

here in Southern Ontario this year.  I do believe we were ‘shattering’ the record high that was set something back in the 1970′s I think the news told me, was 20.3 degrees.  Today we were estimating a high of 25 degrees. It truly was fantastic.  

For dinner, well I thought that Kevin was going to be home from work for dinner, however he got called into overtime and isn’t expecting to be home until after 9pm. *hrrmp*.  So I threw together a few ingredients I thought would work well and were low on the mess and effort scale.  

Pumpkin yogurt oats1/3cup oatmeal, 1/8cup pumpkin&sunflower seeds, 1tbsp chia seeds (love those suckers), 1/8cup of pumpkin and 1/4cup plain yogurt1 Whole Wheat double chocolate chip muffin

 

 I had booked myself in for a Hot Yoga session for 3pm today.  I gotta say I was very excited.  I am not sure if it has been only 2 or if it has been 3 weeks since I have been able to make it to hot yoga. It’s both saddening and painful.  Painful because I have not been allowing my body to rest because I have been going at 200% for what seems like forever.   

Because it was such a beautiful day out, I decided to walk to yoga.  Only too me 20 minutes to walk there and another 20 back.  Some good exercise to log. I also saw several things that I was able to stop and take a picture of that normally I would have zoomed by in my car.  

Some flowers

 

and one up close and personal.

  What did you do outside today in this beautiful weather?  

After yoga I hadn’t eaten since breakfast/snack, as I had eaten A LOT! So I grabbed something smallish.   

Walnut halvs and almond slivers

 

one tough a$& banana

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Like I said, I had a lot to eat for breakfast/snack that made me completely full and didn’t eat any lunch.  This is all that I had for breakfast,

 

Eggwhites, spinach, tomato and feta with cinnamon raisin bread and a coffee

Peach yogurt with chia and pumpkin seeds – told you I love them

   

   

   

   

  For snack I had 

 

Half the chocolate chip (R) and a whole cherry almond cliff bar. So filling

To this point I have had 7, 8oz glasses of water.

 

I have burned 700+ calories.

 

I am taking a break from counting calories today.

 Thursday night was a long one.  I was absolutely exhausted when Kevin got home from work at 10pm (after going for beers with the guys from work), that I don’t even remember him taking me up to bed.  

 

Dinner was decent though.  I had originally packed a dinner (as I too worked late but of the office), however it didn’t keep well and tasted horrible.  So because I was already at the mall, and had done some shopping after work, I thought something light for dinner was in order (plus it was already 8pm).  

Mac Sushi (minus the two rolls I ate in the car on the drive home)

 While walking around the mall I grabbed a quick snack,  

Oganic Liberte strawberry yogurt and a tall nonfat vanilla chi latte

 

 The snacks I had packed I grazed on all throughout the day, and really didn’t touch the banana and nuts (from Friday’s afternoon snack). 

14 baby carrots and 1/2 a red bell pepper

 So for work Thursday, I was at the local shopping centre.  Tough I know.  I work for a not for profit agency, Big Brothers and Big Sisters.  We are always looking for children and adults to sign  up to get matched. It is always a good time to contact your local branch to apply. Anyway, we want to make ourselves more accessable for people to apply.  So from 10am-6:30pm, I sat behind a table with brochures, inquiry forms (then we mail you the application), and these! ! ! !  

These are not your run of the mill Dollarstore chocolate eggs these are rich and creemy. And some worthers.

Can you tell what I snacked on a few times?

  I loved loved loved my lunch and mid morning snack I packed. 

 

Spinach, alfalfa sprouts, cherry tomato, cucumber, strawberries, blueberries and goats cheese

My mini breakfast cookie

At the gym Thursday morning I had spin class with Joe.  Sadly Joe will forever be my morning spin instructor.  As you will remember I had told you of Allison’s new classes (fitness and kickboxing bootcamps), so she will not be teaching Tuesday am spin.  After spin class I stayed in the aerobics room and got, the balance ball, bosu, stepper, 3lbweight a 4lb weight ball, and a 9lb body bar. I worked out doing various exercises with these for 30 minutes (I can still feel the burn today – Friday evening).  

For breakfast, I have decided this will be my standard for mornings I have spin class  

Green Monster

Well, I did it.  I kept it at short as I possibly could, but I got all caught up on my blogging.  Have you ever fallen behind in blogging? What is the longest you fell behind?
