A Random Sunday

Today was a bit random. Especially in the food department. I really only had one true meal and the rest of the day was spent snacking/grazing. This is really unlike me – I am a scheduled, three square meals kind of girl. But it worked today so I just went with it!

I started out the morning with a hot yoga class at Y2. I try not to eat anything within two hours of a class but I knew I wouldn’t make it through this morning without a little something in my system. I went with a slice of toasted Dakota bread from Great Harvest with a little Justin’s Honey Almond Butter.

I was starving after yoga and whipped up a breakfast inspired lunch for us.

One egg over medium, strawberries, watermelon, a Morningstar vegetarian sausage patty and half of a slice of toast with pear butter.

And this is where normal eating ended for the day…we headed to the pool at the Y for the afternoon. While we were there we talked about how good a post-pool trip to Yoforia would be. It was pretty much necessary! 😉

His v. hers. Can you guess? Brandon’s is on the left and weighed in at a whopping 15 ounces! Mine is on the right and came in at about 8 ounces.

My bowl contained a little bit of plain tart, cheesecake, vanilla and pomegranate. Topped with strawberries, coconut, Oreos, chocolate chips and caramel. Amazing. I am pretty much obsessed with Yoforia.

Since we missed our movie Friday night we decided to go this evening. We saw Get Him to the Greek. We love Forgetting Sarah Marshall and were so excited about this movie. It was very funny but we both think we still like Forgetting Sarah Marshall more. While we were in the movie we snacked on mixed nuts and Jolly Rancher Soft & Chewy Candy (brought from home).

The movie got out at 9:30 and neither of us were very hungry but knew we needed to eat something. It was every man for himself in the kitchen.

I had leftover grilled veggies from last night’s dinner (squash and eggplant) with a mozzarella cheese and honey mustard. I ate it soft taco style.

And since I published last night’s post before dinner here are a few snapshots.

Grilled squash, zucchini and eggplant with olive oil, salt, pepper and fresh herbs from our garden!

My dinner plate with grilled veggies, French baguette and a small serving of steak. A nice bottle of J. Lohr Cabernet on the side. I had not eaten steak in over six months and I really enjoyed it last night. Brandon does such a great job with it on the grill.

Off to bed…up early to teach BodyPump in the morning!

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

Life Lately: Summer So Far

Life Lately: Summer So Far

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

Life Lately: 8 Years Old, A New Piercing, Trail Training and More

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]
