Lab was MEH today. We had to heat oil to 190* and observe its appearance. Not my cup of tea!
But Kelsey and I had a GREAT workout after!! But there was one problem: I was starving. Next time I’m going to have to pack a snack to have beforehand. I was in pain and luckily had packed some emergency trail mix, which helped. My workout knocked out my hunger, but it returned on the ride home and I ate the rest of the stash. Here’s a reenactment:
For our workout we did 30 minutes on the ET and then I led us in a boot camp class of sprints, shuffles, lunges, pushups, mountain climbers, jumps, more sprints, suicides. It was about 15 minutes of high intensity intervals and we were both shaking at the end.
We moved into the weight lifting room to finish up with some upper body lifting before we showered. We’ll definitely be doing it again on future Fridays 🙂I made it home for lunch by 2:00 and was starving!!! I ate a whole carrot while I heated things up. I don’t know which is flakier – the carrot’s skin or mine!
I reheated a cup of last night’s soup over a bed of kale, which steamed as the soup heated on top. I love kale in soups!
And on the side I had a Ham + Pepperjack Grilled Cheese on Great Harvest Dakota Bread –
The backside. I used extra cheese to get a gooey melt = success! I could TASTE the cheese! I guess I just always use too little. This was one whole slice of cheese on a half-sized sandwich (usually on a sandwich this size I would use half a slice to cover the bread).
In the words of Homer: homph gomph!
Plus strawberries + my carrot nub –
I’ve got some school work to do this afternoon, plus a walk to Harris Teeter to get some stamps. We’ve got 60* outside!!!!!!!!!! It’s so nice out there – you just need a nice jacket. I feel like spring is already coming, but in typical North Carolina fashion, I’m sure we’ll be down to 30-40* again soon.
Tonight is going to be low key. We’re planning to finish Arrested Development. So sad we’re almost at the end!

That soup looks really good with the added kale.
I agree about the weather – it’s around 60 today in VA, too – I’m pumped! And planning on running outside today since it’s not 30.
linds says
Yaay melty cheese haha looks delicious!
Sarah (lovINmytummy) says
Great workout…good thing you had that trail mix stash (make sure to replenish it!). Love the lunch, even your flaky carrot nub!
Diana says
Sandwich looks YUMMY!
Christy says
Your lunch looks delish, as always! I love that the soup looks chunky with a lot of texture. Don’t those boot camp classes kick your bootie?! Suicides are my favorite because they are SO challenging and I always feel like I had a tough workout the next day. Can’t wait to hear about your weekend!
VeggieGirl says
Trail mix to the rescue!! 😀
Michelle says
What delicious eats you had today! Your meals always impress me. I know during the week it is so difficult for me to prepare my dinners. Do you plan most of them ahead of time? Have fun relaxing tonight!

OH man . . . the day I finished AD was a sad one. you’ll love the last line of the show 🙂
Jen says
Sounds like a GREAT workout and a YUMMY lunch to follow it up! 🙂 Enjoy the pretty weather!
Danielle says
That cheesy sandwich looks amazing, I’ll have to incorporate cheese into my dinner somehow.
I never watched Arrested Development but everyone I know who has has loved it. I’ll have to get the dvds.
Enjoy the rest of your Friday!
Sara says
Oh your cheesy sandwich looks delicious!
Kellz Bellz says
Wow. So you served your guests soup, bread, and miniscule manhattens. You’re not cheap at all.
theoddbod says
wowza! mega closeup,haha. that’s the biggest carrot I ever seen!
Jasmine (Sweet and Fit) says
adding kale to your soup looks really good, i’m guessing it was a good color and texture contrast too. have a great walk and a great night!
Rachel says
Hahahahaha, I LOVED that “in the words of Homer.” I knew just what sound you meant 🙂 I try to do that all the time and no one knows what I mean (like when he is in the spaceship eating potato chips…)
Mara says
Doesn’t oil at 190* look remarkably like oil? 🙂
Sharon says
Tasty sandwich. Enjoy your night!
Justy2003 says
Yay for a great workout after class!
Enjoy your weekend…I know I will! Glad to have a break from school for a bit. Not a break from schoolwork, however 🙁
The Duo Dishes says
That bread looks soooo good. Almost better than the melted cheese. Maybe. Not sure yet. But the bread and cheese definitely look fab!
Meg says
What a great workout! Hope that your school work doesn’t take too long!
K says
I’m jealous of your weather!! I hear ya on the flaky skin – winter is brutal!
Hope you enjoy the rest of AD 🙂

weeks and weeks of frigid arctic-ness have done a number on my hands! i’m still on the lookout for the perfect moisturizer. it has to smell good (but not super strongly), not feel greasy and be thick enough to actually feel substantial. what’s your favorite?
Heather McD (Heather Eats Almond Butter) says
Kale in soups is the bomb…but not as good as Kale Chips. 🙂
Mmmm, look at all the melted cheese. Don’t like it when I can’t taste the cheese as that is my favorite part!
Great workout. I love intervals – keeps things exciting. Have a good weekend Kath!
Shelby says
That soup looks so. good.
seelee live (for the love of peanut butter) says
love that big lunch!!!
Kath says
Mara ,
Yes, that’s why it was so boring!
haya ,
I love Aveda’s hand cream. It’s kinda expensive, but I only use a small amount and have gotten samples of it in the past.

UGH I don’t think I could’ve sat through that without at least frying something in the oil!
