Shaken Not Stirred

July 6

Workout:


-29 min 10 sec elliptical

I know, random time, but we initially thought we'd only be able to get 15-20 minutes in at the gym. Why we would have even bothered for that I do not know. I was determined to get at least 25-30, so I'd so I accomplished my goal.

-protein oats (kashi creamy vanilla oatmeal, about half a scoop of sun warrior chocolate raw vegan protein powder, a little over a teaspoon of sunflower seed butter)



I'm not a big fan of that oatmeal, so I was happy it was the last packet. Still, it wasn't bad all together. A little dry, but I'm pretty conservative with the amount of water I use in instant oatmeal. I HATE watery oatmeal.

-an ezekiel tortilla I dipped in some hummus + a few leftover hazelnut thins
-a little bit of cous cous salad
-1 cocoa raw macaroon
-water



Oddly, I got hungry only a little over 2 hours after breakfast, so I dipped into lunch a couple hours early. Then, when I was planning to eat the rest for my real lunch, I wasn't hungry enough.

I did (as I ALWAYS do...) want some Starbuckies though :). My Mom was kind enough to pick me up one (+ an AWESOME new cup/bottle) when she went to get her own lunch out, so I didn't have to stop working to go get it myself.

-grande soy iced latte




I just asked for a tall, but luckily she knows me better than that, because I sucked that, well, sucker down right away. She had it put in the new bottle too. I kiiind of felt like a baby drinking it's bottle, but still loved it all the same. She also got me a box of their new instant via iced coffee. It has sugar in it, so I probably wouldn't have bought it myself (if you're a new reader, I'm a black coffee girl all the way as far as regular coffee goes), but I always appreciate a gift! Plus, I tried a sample the other day and it was pretty good, so I'll put that to good use.

-another mini container of whole foods shrimp cocktail
-water




I'm telling you, I cannot get enough of that stuff. So good.

-this Alexia brand potato/white bean/onion in a pesto-y sauce thing
-ridiculous amounts of snow crab legs
-side salad (organic mixed greens, organic local tomatoes, organic baby carrots, a lil natural ranch, garlic gold nuggets, black pepper)
-water




-approx. 1/2 cup coconut milk cookie dough ice cream (not my fave-fave of the coconut milk ice creams, but still rather delightful)



Workout 2:

Well, this part I wouldn't count as a workout even though technically it is, but I jogged in place for prob 20-30 minutes during Losing It. Only after eating my ice cream, of course. THEN, my Mom asked me to get on her treadmill to test the heart rate monitor for a second. Hers reads VERY high (160's-170s even when she just walks), but mine, I think, read low (around 99, even though I had been jogging for awhile already. I assume my real heart rate was closer to 110/120). So who knows what's up with that, if anything. I'm trying to convince her to get a heart rate monitor for a piece of mind. I'm not worried about myself, but she's anxious about it saying hers is so high when we doubt it really is. ANYWAY, even though I was in flip flops and it drives my Mom insane to see me do this, I stayed on the treadmill for 25 minutes walking.

I love seeing 2 workout stickers on my calender in one day.

Outfit of the Day:

Kind of looks wrinkled, yikes



Speaking of outfits, isn't this dog shirt so cute? I got it for my dog Buster when he was a baby, but he outgrew it years ago, so I gave it to my friend for her new puppy I've talked about. So cute.

Who Puts Mayo in Baba Ghanoush?

June 30

Workout:

-30 min cross ramp

-1 slice toasted yf/gf bread with a wedge of laughing cow light + superfruit jam
-1/2 a chobani strawberry yogurt
-water

somehow I forgot or lost the pic?

-I guess I also had a tofu curry egg roll, since I found this pic lol




-grande iced soy latte



Pretty cool if you get an iced drink before 2 pm, you can get a second anytime after 2 for only $2. I have yet to take advantage of the deal, but me likey, me likey a lot.

-a few bites of hummus and baba ghanoush (gross kind...made with mayo-wtf Sabra?!) w/ gluten free seedy crackers & country ranch almond nut thins



I do NOT rec this. Get the Cedar's brand.

-side salad (organic mixed greens, sliced strawberries, goat feta crumbles, organic safflower oil, organic balsamic)
-4 veggie dolmas
-half of a red velvet cupcake



Our car broke down again. OMG. Same thing as before (both computer systems keep crashing). IDIOTS. My aunt picked us up this time, so after we got it towed (AGAIN) and got a rental (AGAIN), we took her out to dinner at Luna De Noche. Ironically, I've been wanting to eat there all week. Be careful what you wish for.

While waiting for the new rental car (much cuter color at least lol), I sipped on about half this styrofoam cup of coffee....



-glass of red wine
-about 3-5 chips w/ salsa
-cup of avocado soup
-2 spinach/mushroom/onion enchiladas in a red sauce
-rice & beans





-panna cotta w/ berries & balsamic (Tasted like cheesecake. It was from Hannah's in Denton from the day before. I bet it would have been even better fresh).
