Who’s The Boss

It ain’t me!

I went to cycle this morning, but the class was FULL when I arrived. Bummer. I decided to take advantage of the gorgeous day by taking my workout back outside – and was craving a run! I walked back home (30 minutes total walking) to use the bathroom and change gear. I sat down in a chair and fell asleep!! That never happens! Someone else is calling the shots.

30 minutes later, I woke up and decided the baby did not feel like running, so we went on a walk instead. A really nice 45 minutes of sunshine. I’ll just have to run another day…

After a shower and a conference call, I made a wonderful lunch! I can feel my love for plants creeping back. I still don’t want savory vegetables or big salads, but avocado and blended spinach were just what I wanted. It feels so good to be eating well again.

Best “salad” I’ve had to date! 2 big handfuls baby spinach, 3/4 cup milk, 1/2 packet of Tera’s Whey and 1/2 a frozen banana.

Topped with honey bunches and drizzled coconut butter. Outstanding!

On the side – High Five with mashed avocado (can’t get enough of ‘em!) and manchego cheese.

    • Put them in a paper bag with a apple or banana and they will ripen in about 1 day. Those specific fruits release chemical compounds that ripen others. Hope you enjoy them sooner!

      • Whole Foods includes it in their 15% off supplement Tuesdays. I just stocked up for much less than when I order from Amazon. I like the Dark Chocolate and Bourbon Vanilla.

        I also started mixing it with almond milk because of the shelf stability. Can you talk a little bit about the difference between dairy and non-dairy options?

            • Well other than where they come from 🙂

              Cow’s milk and soy milk are higher in protein. Almond and rice milk are pretty low. Most milks of any kind are fortified with vitamin D and calcium, and you probably want to choose a milk that has both. Milk protein is a little more bioavailable than soy, but soy is still a good option. I drink organic cow’s milk. Does that help?

      • Does your store sell the LC?

        Looks great! I thought you were always “against” protein powders though in favor of real food sources?

        • No, we don’t make it.

          I’m not against protein powders, but I don’t think they are necessary in normal circumstances. Pregnancy is not normal and protein needs are increased, so I’m fine with adding a boost to smoothies when I’m low on yogurt/cottage cheese mix-ins from a high quality brand.

    • Haha, that makes me feel less bad about my grocery bills 🙂 I assume you have a family to feed though so it won’t go bad!

  23. haha. I think St. Patty’s day is creeping up because we are all playing up the green. I just made a delicious creamy avocado chipotle sauce for my black bean & corn tostada. It was delicious. And alien green. haha.

  29. AH kath that lunch looks absolutely perfect! i really just want to spend a day {HA more like my LIFE!} eating kerf meals.

    i just also wanted to say how im really admiring that you aren’t “beating yourself up” for not going for a run when you were planning on it, and just listening to your body instead. in my normal everyday life, sometimes i MAKE myself do things like run, or eat certain things that i “should” be eating when i know my body doesn’t want that type of exercise OR that type of food. im working on just listening to my body’s cues more often and reading about your “go with the flow” attitude helps a lot 🙂

  38. Your sandwich looks amazing, I love anything involving avocado. I would love to buy more if them, but I know they go brown and gross soon after slicing into them. How do you keep yours fresh, especially if you’re only using 1/2 at a time?

    • leave the pit in the half you aren’t using and put it in a sealed plastic baggie in the fridge. it will be a little brown by the next day but nothing you can’t handle! still super yummy 🙂

    • I normally have the WORST luck with avocados going all moldy on me. This one was just…perfect. But Amy hit the marks with keeping them fresh

  43. Love the amount of green that’s coming back to your posts – I can imagine eating healthy again feels amazing! This looks like a delish lunch.

  44. Do you think the Unisom is making you drowsy? I know it’s a small dose but that stuff knocks me out!

    Reply

    • I’ve been taking it for 8 weeks and I haven’t had any trouble with daytime drowsiness (except maybe a few times). I think it’s because I haven’t been sleeping as well and getting up earlier 🙁

  46. I know how it is when you are carrying a little one inside you..
    I was very tired and sleepy on my first trimester too. I kept up the exercise like you though, and I am thankful I did. It helps with the labor and also recovery:)
    Funny, I just had a spinach smoothie, liked similar to yours. Looks great!
