On the Go!!

 For breakfast I decided to have cream of wheat (made with almond milk and bananas) and a half of a sandwich thin topped with peanut butter, apples and bananas (popped it in the oven on broil for 3-5 minutes).

This breakfast was pretty filling! After breakfast I headed down to Kent to see my bestie's baby, Christian. He was super cute and it was awesome to see her as a mom...I think she was born to be one. It was so good catching up with her and holding her beautiful baby boy.

After visiting with her for a couple hours I headed to have a lunch date with my mama! I wanted pho because it was so rainy and gloomy out. Veggie pho is so gooooooooood! After eating and chatting with my mama I headed to the gym.

Today's workout was the dreaded "45 Minute Treamill Killer!" This workout made me sweat a ton, my shirt was actually wet. It has been awhile since I ran on the treadmill and I have to admit it felt pretty good. This is by far the most challenging treadmill workout I have found. I felt so accomplished after completeing this killer workout.

I got home and made myself a tasty blueberry green monstah smoothie! This really hit the spot.

For dinner tonight I decided to throw a bunch of leftover together from all my meals this week. I decided to make quinoa topped with leftovers.

Leftover Tomato Sauce

1/2 cup of tomato salt

1 clove of garlic

1/2 cup of roasted egg plant

1/3 cup spinach

1/4 cup of garbanzo beans

This meal turned out to be pretty filling but a little bland. I need to add more garlic and spices to the tomato sauce next time. :) Off to bed I go to try to fight off this sore throat!

Running Makes Life a Little Bit Better

Today I decided to do a longer run but the weather wasn't cooperating very well. So I decided to workout on the treadmill. I like to call this workout 5 Mile Interval Fun!!

Minutes     Speed      Pace
   1-2           4.5          Warm-Up
  2-10          5.8          10:30
10-20          6.0          10:00
20-25          6.5           9:13
25-30          7.0           8:34
30-35          6.5           9:13
35-40          7.0           8:34
40-45          6.5           9:13
45-50          7.0           8:34
50-55          4.0           Cool Down

This was an intense workout especially minutes 45-50! I was super excited at what I had accomplished this morning. I felt like I killed this workout and I can't wait to do it again. :)

Me being super cool and impressed with myself!

The best part about housesitting is having a gym in the comfort of my own home. I can workout whenever I feel like it. :)

After my workout I decided that I should stuff my face with some healthy food. I made the smoothie from yesterday but I added protein powder this time. :) I also made a leftover quesadilla from earilier this week...it was even better the third or fourth time. :)

This workout definitely gave me more energy and I can't wait to have a lazy Sunday full of Lindsay Time. I have nothing scheduled which feels awesome...I am going to read, skype and relax! Thank goodness for Sunday's!
