Friday Fun

Good afternoon and Happy Friday!  I’m a little late posting again but I have some good eats for ya! :-).

Dinner

Let’s start with last night’s dinner.  It was chock full of veg!  Baked eggplant parm, grilled squash, salad and a baguette slice.

My plate.

Check out those grill marks!

I ended up going to Troy’s last softball game of the season after dinner.  Unfortunately, they didn’t win but they tried really hard!  Isn’t that what really matters?  ;-).

Workout

For my Friday workout, I took a 6am interval class at my gym.  I’ve never taken this particular class before and I thought it was just ok.  The instructor was kind of blah and I didn’t like the exercises she chose.  Maybe I’m too picky with instructors?  I felt good after class but not like I had an amazing workout.  Can’t win ’em all I suppose :).

Breakfast

I was extremely hungry when I got home and cooked up a yummy breakfast for myself.  I was craving lots of protein so I made a fried egg with a little cheese on top, peanut butter toast and a juicy peach.

This breakfast was satisfying and delicious, just what I needed to start the day :).

I’m still at work and have been since 8:30am, yikes!  I’m not sure what the plan is for tonight but I’m definitely ready for some weekend fun!  Hope everyone is having a great day so far…:-D

Friday’s question: What’s everyone doing tonight?!

Feelin’ Oatty

It’s almost noon!  I should probably post last night’s dinner and this morning’s breakfast, don’t ya think?! ;-).

Dinner

After taking BodyPump at 5:30pm last night, I headed straight over to Troy’s for a shower and some delicious food!  Troy’s dad is an amazing cook and prepared a huge feast of chicken parm, pasta with garlic and olive oil, a baked ziti/lasagna dish, veggies, salad, fruit salad and watermelon.

My plate :).

Look at all the nutrients!  :-D.

I also enjoyed a few pieces of watermelon for dessert.  Everything tasted great!

Workout

This morning I headed to the gym at 5:30am to do a cardio/interval training workout.  My workout went like this:

• 5 minutes incline walking (Pace 4.0, Incline 7.0), 2 minutes of running (1st min at 6.5, 2nd min at 7.0)

Alternate the intervals for as long as you like!  I did the interval workout for 20 minutes then hopped on the elliptical for 15 minutes.  Boy, it was a sweaty one!

Breakfast

I was feelin’ oatty this morning!  I haven’t made them in awhile and had some extra time on my hands.

My oatmeal bowl included:

• 1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 tsp. honey
• Dusting of cinnamon
• Sprinkle of pecans
• Tiny blob Jif
• Tiny blob Peanut Butter & Co. cinnamon raisin swirl

Oatty goodness :-D.

Look at those pb blobs!

I also enjoyed a perfectly ripe summer peach with a side of morning sunshine :).

Today is my long day at work so I’m praying it goes by in a flash!  It’s such a nice day here too.  The storms came through last night so the humidity is gone…for now!  I may stop by Troy’s softball game tonight if I get outta here in time.  Have a wonderful day everyone!

Question of the late morning/early afternoon – How do you get through a long day of work?
