Thanks for your comments on my last post; sad to see many of you are like me and don’t take time to “just be”! We have to work at that, right?!!
There was no time to “just be” in the morning either! For some reason, it started off rush, rush, rush! Before I ran out the door to take little daughter to school, I made up my Yogurt Bowl. Many of you have asked about making the fruit “syrup”, so here’s a look…
Slice a few (about 3-4) strawberries and place in a microwave safe bowl…
Microwave for 30 sec.- 1 min. (depending on fruit ) until it appears “cooked” and the juice releases…
That’s it! Couldn’t be easier! You could do it stovetop also in a bigger batch, refrigerate and add to yogurt (or top ice cream, mmmm) as needed.
I poured my strawberry syrup over the remainder of my Chobani nonfat plain yogurt, added more fresh berries and sprinkled with a bit of Post Trail Mix Crunch…
then ran out the door with my ginormous container to eat in the car… at red lights and stop signs, MOM!!!
I finished most of it just as I was pulling in to the gym. I wasn’t that hungry, so I left the rest and headed in to get my sweat on with one of my new LIFE IS GOOD shirts…
Gotta love that! There’s also a cool tag at the bottom of the shirt…
Okay, enough of my dopey wardrobe! Anyway, I hit the elliptical for 40 minutes while watching my boyfriend, Dr. Oz and his new show which was quite steamy (sex ed) I might add! Then, he did some dance which made me love him even more!
I tore myself away from the tv’s and did a 25 minute lower body circuit weight workout. I love the leg press; makes me feel like a brute!
After a stop at the produce store, I headed home and was ready for lunch! I got hungry earlier than usual, probably because I didn’t eat enough at breakfast. But, my stomach was telling me that I couldn’t put it off any longer. I broke open one of these Cedar Lane Bean ,Rice and Cheese Burritos. I’ve showed these before, but it’s been a while…
They are really good and filling! I wolfed it down with a side of leftover sweet potato fries and a fuji apple…
Yes, WOLFED. As in here one minute, gone the next. That was NOT mindful eating!!! And then, I knew it was coming. Because I didn’t pay much attention to the eating process, I still wanted to munch away. And I did…on these guys…
x about 55!! Ugh! I knew I was doing it and WHY, so I guess that’s part of the process of learning to STOP it next time.
Believe it or not, I was hungry again later when the daughters came home. I’ve been eyeing this Pecan Sticky Bun Granola up (why do I buy these things?!)
so I had a small bowl with skim milk…
Dinner was nothing fancy, but I’ll call it Pasta Pesto Primavera! I made some Ronzoni Smart Taste Rotini Pasta, mixed it with a little pesto and a box of Green Giant Immune Blend Veggies…
finished with some Parmesan cheese…
Quick and easy!
And later, I may or may not have had a little bit of this…
Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. I did not have that; I don’t know who is writing this right now!!! ;P
ONE GOOD THING: I recognized why I pigged out after lunch, so that I can try to prevent that next time :)
*I took 5 minutes right before bed to “just be”, but I think I fell asleep about 2 minutes into it! Does that count???*
Have a great day everyone!
