Perfect Summer Dinner

Hi Friends 😀

THANK YOU for allof the sweet words about my last post. I really am truly blessed to have SO many caring people in my life. Today I did do a double workout, but tomorrow I think I might just do one- maybe sleep in before work. That would be nice, I have not done that in a LONG time. I usually always work out before work. I’ll see how I feel all day- usually I feel grumpy/ not completely awake if I don’t work out first thing…but I’ll use this as an experiment. Although sometimes I naturally just wake up at 5am anyways, but maybe my body will enjoy the extra sleep. We shall see 🙂

Anyways, on to breakfast: a repeat of yesterday- an apple + a VitaTop, but this time a Apple Berry one.


once again, I ate it with some PB2 on top 🙂 Loving this combination.

Lunch was also a repeat- BUT I tried a new brand of Greek yogurt- Oikos. I got a few because they were on sale at Publix- 5 for $5..so I figured why not. I was impressed- of course my brand loyalty is to Chobani…but I did think they are a GREAT back up! I cannot wait until the stores near me get the chocolate Oikos- I have seen it everywhere in blog world & would LOVE to try it.

Lunch. Greek yogurt + watermelon + blueberries & strawberries + 1/4 cup both raisin bran & fiber one

YOGURT MESS!!! 🙂 My favorite

Afternoon snack: Blueberry Alternative bagel

oops- got a bit hungry before I took the picture. I also enjoyed it with some PB2 that I had leftover from this morning.

I was feeling REALLY hungry this afternoon, so I had one of these around 3:30pm, shortly after my alternative bagel.

90 calorie Fiber One bar. Chocolate & Peanut butter

I ALSO had some animal crackers & GUESS WHAT?! I remembered to take a picture, even though it wasn’t a very good one.

For my afternoon workout I focused purely on Cardio:

Splits: 9:36, 8:30, 8:42, 4:20 (half mile) Total miles: 3.5; Calories burned: 403, Max HR: 213, Avg HR: 176

After that I did some incline walking on the treadmill:
0-5 minutes; 3.7 speed; 5% incline
5-10 minutes; 3.5 speed; 10% incline
10-12 minutes; 3.5 speed; 0% incline

Then 5 minutes on the Arc Trainer.

Ended with 50 Ab exercises on the ab machine with 60 lbs.

Total time for this: 22:12 minutes; Max HR: 154, Avg HR: 141; Calories burned: 154

For dinner I decided to try something new: Turkey, Brie & Cranberry Sandwiches.
First, start with 2 pieces fresh bread (or 4 for two people)

fresh bread.

Then cut your brie into small pieces.

brie

slices of turkey on one 1/2 & brie slices on the other.

 And then the special ingredient:

whole berry cranberry sauce.

top with about 2 tbsp. cranberry sauce

place on baking sheet covered in cooking spray

And then bake (I used my toaster oven instead of a regular oven to bake these) at 400 minutes about 5 minutes each side.

mmmm

I served it with a side of spinach & strawberry salad- with 2 boiled egg whites, a bit of Asiago cheese, & a few walnuts pieces.

my plate.

I wasn’t sure if this was going to fill me up-but it SURE did!! And it was quick & easy to make after the gym. PERFECT in my book 😉

Hope you all have a great rest of your night- I’m off to continue watching Shutter Island with Craigh 😀
