Nothing Creative to Write Here.

First, a little housekeeping:

Gina, the Fitnessista, is doing a great giveaway!  You should check it out!!

Next on the agenda…food, glorious food!

Here is a collage of eats from the past few days:

HEALTHY

Breakfasts:

Amazing cranberry apple butter oats from yesterday with a few tweaks:

  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • pinch of sea salt
  • dash of vanilla extract
  • craisins (phenom.)
  • mashed banana
  • cranberry apple butter
  • topped with almond butter

Mastered.  Perfection!

P1020826

I believe this was a yogurt bowl with vanilla chobani, pumpkin flax granola, H2H and PB Puffins.

P1020838

Truth be told, I have no idea what this mix was.  It was some oats, raisins, probably more of the usual suspects and then topped with unsweetened applesauce.

P1020849

This was a tasty bowl that began the cranberry apple butter revolution. 

  • 1/3 cup oatbran
  • 1/3 cup almond milk
  • 1/3 cup water
  • pumpkin pie spice

Topped with plain Chobani and cranberry apple butter

Dinners:

I only have two photographed.  I was eating out a lot while Hubbers was away.

P1020851

Spinach, chicken, mushroom quesadillas were on the menu last night.  I LOVE these.  You can find the recipe here.  I saw them on “Healthy Appetite” with Ellie Krieger on FoodNetwork a year or so ago and have made them several times.  They never disappoint.

panera

I also had Panera the other night after picking Hubbers up from the airport.  I had a classic cafe salad and garden vegetable soup with whole grain baguette on the side.

FUN

 hugeappleappleinsideThis weekend, I had a “Colossal” Honey crisp apple.  It took me a good 15 minutes to eat.  Dang.

P1020824 P1020825I went to a beautiful baby shower and was proud of my gift wrapping skills.P1020831I bought new shoes.

P1020847Delicioso!    

FIT

I’m back on the bandwagon!  I went to a hot yoga class on Monday.  It rocked my socks (or lack thereof) off!  I sweat like a beast and definitely felt it the next day.  I can’t wait to go back!

I ran a 5K on the treadmill on Tuesday:  27:30.

I ran 2.0 miles Wednesday:  18:30.

I am really missing the Nike+.  I need a new one ASAP!!

Make it a great Thursday!  The weekend’s almost here!
