Hi Friends!
I’ve been enjoying a low-key Saturday – quiet house, soothing rain, and having nothing to do but STUDY.
After the review, I headed over to the gym (finally feel healthy enough to exercise!). I worked up quite the sweat:
- 30 minutes Elliptical w/ Food Network
- 15 minutes running around indoor track
- jump rope x 150
- 40 squats @ 20 lbs.
- + a few upper body exercises
Total: 1 hour
I came home very hungry, so I immediately fixed lunch breakfast #2:
I love the extra, earthy crunch from the flax – yummm.
- whole wheat toast with new flax PB
- plain nonfat Greek yogurt with Raisin Bran, 1/2 pear & honey
Next up: procrastination photos…
One of the many reasons I l.o.v.e. Trader Joe’s: they have the prettiest packaging. I love opening up my cupboards and fridge to products that scream: healthy, simple, “clean”. Weird? …maybe a little : )
This is a new item. Nuts + Dark Chocolate…SOLD!
What are ya’ll up to on this rainy/snowy day?

It’s raining! We went to breakfast at Los Bagels, something that is becoming a Saturday morning habit. Veggie Delight for me, egg salad for Durry. This afternoon, our “lunch” was a slice of cream cheese coffee cake — I think a recipe from the new Cook’s Illustrated magazine. Since we had dessert for lunch, the rest has been sliced and put in the freezer for another rainy day. With diets, Durry hasn’t been cooking as much as he used to, so he was thrilled. Tonight’s dinner is a minestrone soup, that I know was in the latest Cook’s. So….it’s just chatter about food:)
Mmmm…can’t wait to cure my LB fix.
We had a rainy day too! We spent it eating grilled cheeze + tomato soup and cuddled up on the couch watching Rent. So relaxing!
