Crunch Break

Another busy, busy day!

IMG_9061 (450x600)

Thanksgiving was all about bread. It seems (so far) that Christmas is all about specialty sweets and big boxes to bring to parties and friends!

IMG_9062 (600x450)

I worked until 1pm, with minimal snacking except for a slice of Spinach Feta at 11am because my stomach was growling. This is a pretty active job, so I’m not doing formal workouts this week (my legs would give out!) but I am walking to and from the bakery everyday (about 3 miles) and on my feet for lots of hours!

IMG_9055 (450x600)

Lunch today was leftover salad, enhanced with sandwich veggies and some hummus and served with a slice of Cville Crunch topped with our Curried Tuna

IMG_9057 (600x450)

Refreshing!

IMG_9058 (600x450)

IMG_9054 (600x450)

For dessert I tasted the Cranberry Orange muffin and the Ginger Cookie!

IMG_9060 (600x450)

The boss says I better get back to work!

    The curried tuna looks wonderful! I am jealous that you have such an active job and live in a walkable area. I hope to one day at least have the walkable part, but hope to do a ton with social media for a career so the computer-friendly job may leave me with an inactive work environment. I love my group fitness class sweat sessions, but to be able to get my activity in while I’m on my way to/from and at work would be a great time saver.

    Mmmm those baked goods look yummy!~~I think your active lifestyle philosophy is awesome, Kath!! It’s not just about working out, but just moving around a lot is part of that lifestyle as well. It’s hard to do that in socal because if we walked to places, we’d never get anything done, haha 😛

      They’re actually local hydroponic tomatoes! They’re not summery, but they’re not bad either

    Working on your feet can totally be counted as a work out. I may have counted mall shopping and table decorating as a workout this week!

    Your lunch does look ‘refreshing’ . Love curried tuna…used to have a lovely curried tuna at ‘Chez Piggy’ in Kingston, Ontario years ago…all because of the tuna rolls my mom would make, wrap in foil , freeze and then warm up in the oven…great for a crowd on New Year’s Day. Gosh, I haven’t made those in years…my hubbie loves them…need to write note to self. lol

    Your lunch looks delicious, especially the curried tuna 🙂 I definitely wish I lived in a walkable area & could walk to my job. It would be great to be able to combine most of my exercise with my daily activities. However, I live in a fairly rural area and drive nearly an hour each way to my job… I’m hoping to move in the next year or two (away from the winter in Ohio!) & definitely will be attempting to live much closer to my job.

    Love the curried tuna (like the other commenters on this post so far!!) and I think it’s great that you get to be so active in your job! I know it probably isn’t as glamorous as it sounds in many ways, but I’d love to be able to walk around and be active for more of my day (outside of the gym of course!) Have a great afternoon!

    Being around those beautiful loaves of Dakota bread all day… I don’t know how you can show such restraint! I guess maybe after a while it doesn’t seem “as” special anymore? Or maybe it does, and you just have superpowers not to devour a whole loaf. 🙂

    My only form of exercise each day is one simple walk. No gym and no running at all. Just one walk. I hope that is enough, because it has to be for me.

    I’ll take both the bread and the speciality treats!

                  And how can posting as two different people from the same IP address be a “misunderstanding”? Creeps me out :/
