Little-a-This

Time fly by this morning as I prepped to leave town. It is THE MOST gorgeous day outside!! Cool and breezy yet still summertime warm. I wanted to take my workout outside but was a little too sore for running in the hamstrings. I ended up biking to the Y, doing 15 minutes on the elliptical, and then heading back outside for some walking laps around the track with a magazine. It was an easy, breezy workout. Once home I did the C+K 10 Minute Workout. I think I finished in 9 minutes!! I also wanted to add in response to some of the comments this morning that I do often lift heavy weights (15 lbs for biceps and shoulders). The point of the challenge is to reignite an interest in strength by starting over with time and dedicate – much like I did when I started with just 20 minutes a day of yoga back in December. So no, I am not swearing off weights for ever, as I do think they are important to incorporate and make progress, but if your goals are just to tone what you have and/or recharge your enthusiasm, an at-home workout works wonders.

Lunchtime called!! I used up the last of our fridge. There’s nothing green to be found in this house!

I made a quesadilla with a slice of Applegate ham, 2 tbsp goat cheese and English Beer mustard by Fortnum and Mason

Loved the sharp taste of this mustard! It didn’t leave me tipsy though 🙁

Plus a carrot with Chocolate Toffee Peanut Butter

IMG_8631 (1024x768)

LOoooove Naturally Nutty’s stuff!!

IMG_8626 (1024x768)

And a Honey Oikos with a chopped peach. I’m not sure I really like the honey flavor. It comes in the form of a gel on the bottom of the cup – like fruit on the bottom style – and you mix it in. I’m just a plain kinda girl!

We are hitting the road for Danville now. I’m not sure if I will have internet tonight, but I definitely will tomorrow. Hope to see y’all sooner rather than later!

Happy 4th!

    I find the honey Oikos to be too sweet as well. I would rather get the plain and add my own drizzle of honey.

    I actually lift heavy and love it! (25 pound biceps and shoulders). I use free weights pretty much exclusively now, especially since I got over my fear of the squat cage 😀
    Next to biking, lifting is my favorite fitness activity.

    Sounds like you got in a wonderful workout before your travels. Hope everything goes well and can’t wait to hear all the stories! 🙂

    btw, I TOTALLY agree with you on the Oikos. I’ve been converted to a strictly plain sort of gal! 😉

    I am addicted to Naturally Nutty. Love the Butter Toffee, Vanilla almond and plain almond butter. Scared to try the chocolate versions just yet. Looks cracky.

    I still think you should read NROLW. You will realize why there is no need to do biceps and triceps exercises ever again. Compound, multi joint exercises are 100% more effective. I promise! 🙂

    Yummy! I’m right there with you on the yogurt, I so prefer plain (and mix my own fresh fruit in, maybe some granola…a little bit of whatever sounds good).

    Enjoy your trip!

    I agree, at home workouts are great. I especially like them because, with no weights at home, you can just use your body as its own resistance. Yoga and pilates do such a great job of that, and to me, its more empowering than dumbells!

    Yeah, honey Oikos is too sweet. I love the blueberry though!

    I also think it’s important to like your workouts, there’s so many to choose from so you should experiment with as many as possible to find what’s right for you or do what I do and change things up all the time!

    I seem to be in the minority, the honey one is the only way I’ll eat greek yogurt. I haven’t liked it any other way.
