That’s One Huge Salad

How is it already 5:00!?!? It feels more like 3. I guess it’s because I didn’t eat lunch until 2!

We spent the whole middle of the day on the move – biking for about an hour and a quarter and then mowing the lawn. We biked to the greenway, biked the 4 miles of it, then came out the other side and biked home. I’m guessing it was about 10-12 miles? Then I ended up mowing the whole yard! The back yard is fun because it’s big and makes those nice lines. I wore my HRM the whole time and here were my stats:

Time: 2:08

In Zone: 4:30

Avg. HR: 99

Kcal: 397

As you can see, I was moving for 2 hours but my heart rate wasn’t that high despite biking fast and some hills. I should have thrown in some cardio sprint drills to spike it up! But the whole point was just to keep moving through fun activities, so it’s fine as is 🙂 And who knows how accurate the HRM really is when you’re not that much in the cardio zone.

I came inside to make a huggggeeee delicious salad!

But I started with a piece of watermelon

I toasted a slice of the husband’s sourdough to make homemade croutons.

And I grilled carrots, peppers, and a peach!

I also tossed in a cup or so of leftover blue cornmeal okra.

The rest of the toppings: 1 slice cooked bacon, goat cheese crumbles, and leftover lemon-olive oil dressing that Karen made.

Croutons!

The husband made a huge salad as well. His was a BLT with jalapeno and croutons. Check out the size of his bowl – he used our giant salad bowl!

I’m trying to work on my to-do list so I can start tomorrow fresh. Ahhhhh! There’s too much to do.

    This IS a big salad that the husband made! Are your croutons homemade?

    Hi Kath! Both salads look great, and I love homemade croutons. I would probably leave off the grilled peach, though. Everyone raves about grilled stone fruits, but I just don’t like them.

    Both of those salads look awesome! I love homemade croutons but I have never made them myself. I should give that a try sometime.

    Are you saying that 400 calories isn’t that much to burn? I think that’s a lot.

    Mowing the grass sounds like a great little workout! I can’t wait until I have a yard someday… Sigh… 🙂

    Your watermelon always looks SO good. Wow.

    Kath,

    I know this has probably been asked, and you’ve probably answered it a million times…but what does your husband do for a living?

    that salad looks delicious by the way!

    Fantastic looking salad!

    Just wondering what kind of heart monitor you use since I’m looking to purchase a new one myself?!

    Thanks!

    Those are great looking salads! Making a yummy salad makes for a great meal, but I find I am most of the time too lazy to put together all the components. But then when I do, I enjoy it so much. Note to self: don’t be so lazy!!

    Kelly L.,
    I just meant I would have thought it would be a lot higher for 2 hours of activity. But I guess it was just low intensity.

    caitlinbo ,
    THANKS!

    Abby ,
    He works in marketing.

    sarah ,
    We just cut them in cubes and put them in the oven at 250* for 20-30 minutes. They were delicious!

    Kath, I don’t have a Heart Rate Monitor – what does “In Zone: 4:30” mean?

    HangryPants ,
    The HRM’s come with a pre-set zone (that you can change if you want) that represents a cardio zone. I believe mine is set to 120 bpm. So “in the zone” means that of my 2 hours, I was only above 120 bpm (getting heart pumping cardio benefits) for 4:30 minutes. You can set it so it beeps at you when you dip below that number too. I reminder to pick up the pace!
