Here’s how the gym went down:
- 45 mins of elliptical 45 mins – alternating between forward and backwards, level 10-12
- 15 mins of spinning – positions 1-3 based on the song
- 10 mins of tread mill – walking cool down
- 15 mins of stretching, abs, and arms on the mat
Once I got home I snacked on an apple and a handful of figs, then showered, blow dried, piled on 22 layers, and prepared myself for the Brrrr.
Above is a Calimyrna fig, below is a Turkish fig.
What’s the difference? I had NO idea when I bought them (so I got both kinds to try), and I still have no idea. What I DO know is that I liked the Calimyrna ones better, which figures since they are the more expensive. What can I say, I’ve got $$ taste.
Anyways, while I was out, I got a BIG present for myself…
HOORAY!!! I’m so excited to try these recipes.
And, as if it wasn’t already obvious enough what a Type-A nerd I am, I got another little treat for myself 🙂
Yep, now I can study up on yoga before I go to my first class. Now I won’t be the biggest loser in the class (just a close runner up). Don’t make fun of me Heather!
Anyways, after I got home I made a lasagna for my boo, and while it was in the oven, I got to work on my own dindin.
My K-love wanted me to show off my fine non-vegan culinary skillz so here’s a pic of his lasagna.
(I make big ass lasagnas once a month-ish so my babycakes can freeze them individually and have no-brainer meals when he gets home from work)
As for MY dinner, I made a big salad with baked tofu.
Lettuce, tomato, brocc slaw, and tofu.
Times 2! Lately, I’m a second serving kind of girl. Must be my days full of lounging on the couch catching up on trashy tv and reading Twilight (sarcasm much)?
Clearly dessert was a must, so I opted for a few coconut date rolls.
And a new kind of tea, inspired by (the other) elise…
I saw this flavor on her blog, and immediately went on the look-out.
It was everything it’s name implied. Such a perfect way to end the day.
And before I forget, everyone check out Meghann’s blog, and donate to her amazing cause!!
I love the big ass salad! I love that you take care of the boy like that – how sweet of you 🙂
I had a fig once. I think it was a turkish fig and I did not like it.
I do, however, love that tea!
yeaaa boi nice workout 😀 That’s so nice of you to cook up that lasagn! How do you not scoop a big hunk for yourself omg!??!? Ha, ok well i guess you’re vegan but still…send me some ;D!!
Wow, that is one sweet recipe book! AND TOFU!!!! YUMMM!
Girl – consider yourself added 😉
Awesome workout! I’ve only had Turkish figs (I think), but those ones look much juicier!
And, I am definitely like you – I have been to one Yoga class and looked like a fool, so I’ve been practicing with Exercise TV at home. I could definitely use a print out of poses like that though!
your “babycakes”?????? please refrain from sick petnames in the future if possible. that cookbook looks pretty sweet though…why didnt you put it on your christmas list so someone (like your fav sister,perhaps?) could have gotten it for you?
I have sugar cookie sleigh-ride tea in my cupboard and I like it very much : )
that lasag is even better than it looks… you’re the best…
