Happy Tuesday! It’s been somewhat of a typical day around here, except for my hubby being home again today from work. He had a 4-day weekend for Veterans Day, which has been awesome! I worked throughout the morning and afternoon, and then we decided to go for a motorcycle ride right before it got dark out this evening. This was the first time I’ve gone riding with him zipping full speed down the highway. It was fun (and only a teeny bit scary!) to go on a thrill ride by the beach.
Moving onto my workout challenge this week, I have to admit that I’m sore right now from yesterday’s exercises! It’s funny how achy your body can feel from doing something different, even if it’s only 7 minutes worth of movement. My numbers today were: 57 push ups, 61 sit ups (the same exact number as yesterday) and a 3:12 plank hold. So, my push up number was less but my plank hold was a bit longer. It’ll be interesting to see if I can try and improve my numbers as the week goes on!
To answer the question of what the heck a vegetarian eats (or at least what this vegetarian eats!), here is my weekly rundown of meals & snacks for the day:
I started off my day making apple sandwiches by smearing peanut butter on thick apple slices, then sprinkling with cinnamon raisin granola and cinnamon. I love this breakfast!
For lunch, I ate this Mexican burrito:
Post-workout, I snacked on plain Greek yogurt mixed with pumpkin butter, cinnamon, banana and cashew pieces:
Dinner was Japanese noodles mixed with sesame seeds, broccoli, sugar snap peas, bell pepper, green onion, shiitake mushroom, soy sauce & rice vinegar. The meal was very similar to this recipe.
Lastly, I’m currently snacking on a few sea salt & turbinado sugar dark chocolate almonds from Trader Joe’s:
In writing this post, I started thinking about how I sprinkle cinnamon on things multiple times a day. It’s definitely my favorite add-on! Question: What is your favorite spice or herb to add to your food?
