Remember that Office episode!?
I biked on over to the gym today and did a happy 10 minutes on the Stairmaster when the fire alarm went off!!
I saw a big fire truck, but I never saw any smoke. The alarm my have been set off by the fi-yah I was makin’ on the Stairmaster !!
[Did you know if you Google Images search for "Stepmill flames" that two of my posts come up!?!?!?!]
MY OTHER RECIPES
I sadly had to get off the machine and take my workout out to the parking lot. I could have just stood there with the others, but I saw this as an opportunity for sprints!
I moseyed on over to the track and ran about a mile alternating sprinting, walking and jogging (in that order). Then I moved to the fields and did squats, lunges, pushups, and burpies. "Whatcha Say" is the perfect tempo for jumping lunges. Just sayin’!
Once back home I heated up some Cocoa Coconut Chili from the freezer.
Served with a little REAL coconut 🙂 I used my FIREY cali bowl for eating! The bowl was perfect for heating soup. I hate it when the soup gets all on the edges from stirring – it’s bad for the photography and looks messy! But the nice lip on the bowl hides the mess well 🙂
A side of Honey Sesame Kashi’s
I could barely finish this lunch – so filling!
RDU Readers
I’m coming to Hillsborough on Friday and am wondering if any of you want to meet for brunch around 10AM on Saturday? Please email me if you are interested (KathEats at Gmail).
Off to class! Gotta go put air in my tires first 👿
That chili looks so good! It would be perfect for this gloomy day in Boston.
chili sounds wonderful right now……it’s cold and snowing – boo.
LOVE those Cali bowls, they are SO cute! The chili looks yummy.

Not cool that you were in a fire, but oh my, you just made my morning. I always go up to my hubs and sing, “RYAN started the FIUHERRR!!!” right in his ear. He loves it.
I love chili on a cold day. Aren’t freezers just the best? They make everything so much easier!
Running plus squats, lunges, and push-ups? All I have to say to that is ouch! The coconut chili sounds so warm and soothing right now.
Love the bowl! The chili looks great – cool idea to add coconut on top!

Thanks!
Loving the chili + coconut!
what a great lunch for a cold day. I love chili, but haven’t made any this year yet.
I love that chil. One of my faves. That’s too funny the fire alarm went off! Great way to make use of the situation!
I love to google things and find my own stuff. Makes me smile.
Good for you to use the time to still get in a workout. I like to take advantage of what I have even if its not the plan…although it does freak me out.
I don’t know that episode.. I think I need to catch up on the Office!
It’s from Season 2. I watched it on Netflix!
i wonder how many people search google images for stepmill flames 😀 haha….too funny!
“The alarm my have been set off by the fi-yah I was makin’ on the Stairmaster”
That made me laugh 🙂
I love filling lunches! I just ate a hugh-jass salad full of roasted root veggies. yum.
it’s so funny that two of your posts come out! 😀
but you did a great job on completing the workout by your own! I would feel pissed off and go back home without a workout!
Ha…I love that episode. Ryan is one of my favorite characters on that show. His outfits have been cracking me up on the new season.
Have a great class!
Reminds of the Fire-Burning song 🙂
I made that chili a few months ago and liked it better as leftovers. Yummy, I wish I had some in my freezer for tonight.
I love those bowls!
We had leftvover chili for dinner last night (with homemade jalapeno cornbread..YUM). And we have turkey soup and vegetable soup in the fridge. It’s going to be a week of soups in my house! Chili is so filling and comforting, I just love it.
chili is the best on a cold fall day! The Ryan started the fire episode is one of my favorites!
Haha i love the stairmaster graphic!
That episode is hilarious.
I would love to meet up with you on Saturday, but I’ll be running in the Jingle Bell Run downtown that same morning. Hope you have a nice trip!
Whenever I hear the REAL version of that song, I can’t help but sing along, “Ryan started the fire…”
😀
Kath,
How do you freeze your soups?
Mine always get ice crystals on them.. i need a solution!
Thanks,
Morgan
We put them in freezer-safe ziplocks and lay them flat on a cookie sheet and once they’re frozen they stack nicely.
I think its funny that you did the stairmaster after watching the ugly truth and that he says that women need to get skinny and do this. you must have got this idea from the movie
I think it’s funny that you actually think I’d follow a movie’s advice on how to “get skinny.” I’ve been climbing the Stairmaster for years. Best machine in the gym.
chili and coconut sounds so interesting!! great idea with the outdoor workouts! I think I would have done the SAME thing!
Haha! I love The Office shout out!
Yummy looking chili. Never had it before with coconut
Haha I love it, esp the graphic of “stepmill flames” 🙂
Great job on improvising the workout! That chili looks yummy!
Chocolate+coconut+chili=NOMTASTIC!!!!!!! 😀
I’m gmailing you about Saturday
Love that “gmailing” is now a verb!!
I hate when workouts are interrupted.
Today I got on a treadmill that was signed up for for an hour because no one was on it, then it turns out a girl signed up for the wrong treadmill so when she got kicked off the one she was she came over to the correct one and kicked me off! Has she been signed up for the correct treadmill, all would have been well!
Those bowls are adorable!
Love that idea with the bowls! And that chili looks so comforting!
Good for you on making the most out of having to leave the gym! Love it! 🙂
I want that lunch! It’d be perfect for this rainy day in rhode island
lol hilarious stepmill picture.
That chilli looks wonderful 🙂 A perfect meal for a cooler day! And congrats on finding an alternative workout 🙂
LOL that episode of The Office is one of my favorites.
Chilli is a perfect dish for a day like today! It looks delish!!
Yay, I’ve seen that episode! I think it was the first one that made me laugh out loud really hard. But I’m only on Season 2 🙂
Gotta love the simplicity of leftover chili! Enjoy your bike ride to class this afternoon!
LOL you’re silly 🙂
Wish I was still in the Raleigh area! I flew back to Miami yesterday, otherwise I totally would have done brunch!
love your chili! looks delish!
