Another beautiful day; can’t ask for a better holiday weekend! I woke up without a spring in my step; more like a hobble. But, I wanted to get my exercise done first thing, so I headed to the basement and hit the treadmill. Lightly. I didn’t want to do any further hip damage, so I decided to just walk on the treadmill. To beef up my walk, I put on my weighted vest and wore 18 lbs. while walking at a mild pace for 40 minutes. The extra pounds help it feel like a better workout. Here I am in my vest (looking quite scary, I might add)…
Next up was breakfast. I went with an Open Faced Mushroom Cheese Omelet. Very filling …
Big daughter wanted to rearrange her room, so we all helped her out with moving furniture and de-cluttering. It took quite a bit longer than we expected. The girl’s got some stuff! We finally decided to take a break for lunch. I took out a new soup to try from Trader Joe’s – Latin Style Black Bean…
Great nutritionals (except for the sodium – yikes!)…
To go with the soup, I heated up some leftover Chicken Fajitas…
The fajitas were good, the soup…eh, not so much. It wasn’t bad, it was just okay. There was a strong black pepper taste that kept hitting me in the back of the throat and I wasn’t digging that. I ended up leaving a bit in my 1 cup bowl, too.
Then, it was back to the de-cluttering. Since, I was on a roll, I worked on some of my own downsizing, too. I love chucking things out! I also had a pile of recipes and scraps of recipes written on paper here and there, so I gathered them together and worked on organizing some of them.
I took the task outside to take in some of the beautiful day. All that looking at recipes made me hungry! I snacked on a Chobani Nonfat Peach Greek Yogurt while soaking in the sun…
The dinner plan tonight was PIZZA! It’s been a while since I’ve had some. I made some regular dough for the husband and daughters and found a whole wheat crust in the freezer that I had pre-baked a million years ago, so that worked out for me! It was a pizza party for 4. Everyone got their own just the way they liked it…
I used the leftover Grilled Veggie Salad from last night to top my pizza. I used a bit of marinara and lite mozzarella. It was delish, even though part of the crust broke off from bending in the freezer…
I made a spring mix salad dressed with balsamic to go with it…
and had a little more pizza…
After dinner, we all went to a local trail for a family walk. Here’s my peeps…
It was a great way to end the night!
Hope you all had a great Saturday!
ONE GOOD THING: After a frustrating phone call with a family member, I really wanted to eat something. Anything. I was tempted to just shovel something, but instead, I acknowledged the feeling, had a big glass of water, a deep breath and got out of the kitchen. Phew!
