Wednesday

My hubby left to go out of town this morning and will be back next Monday. Its been awhile since he has had to go so I've been a bit mopey today. This has not bode well for eating 

Breakfast with leftover pizza:( 2 slices
Lunch: Yogurt and Kashi go lean crunch  and then a snickers bar:(

Afternoon snack: 2 small baby dill pickles and a Special K Fruit Crisp

Supper: 2 cups of homemade Cauliflower, Broccoli Cheddar soup and two rolls with butter

And I'll probably have a small root beer float too later

I have made sure I accounted for every calorie and I'm glad I am holding myself accountable too. 

If the weather is nice tomorrow morning I have a long bike ride planned.  Either across the river to to the park I went to last week.  I refuse to let today dictate how the rest of my week will be

Much Love & Healthy Living!!

Road Trip!!

I felt so good this morning and decided that I'd head out on a road trip after hubby left for work...A bike road trip that is:)

I packed up some water, my camera,cell phone,and a trail mix bar and off I went!

I have more pictures but I'll not post them all up ..All in all I bike around 19.5 miles today and so when I got home I went to the cafe next door and picked up this yummy delight

Its a Grilled Spicey Gouda and tomato panini. I'm not sure what type of bread it is but it was totally yummy and worth the calories:)

Breakfast this morning was two servings of overnight oats and a hard boiled egg.  I'm still undecided on supper but oh wow! look was last nights supper was

1/2 cup halved strawberries
1/2 cup blueberries
1 medium sliced banana
Some of my favorite yogurt
Sprinkled with some shelled hemp seeds

Delish!!

The skies look pretty angry now so I'm glad I got my ride in early this morning:)

Much Love & Healthy Living!!!

And still it rains:(

I have this big solo bike adventure planned for tomorrow but because it might be rainy again I may have to hold off until Wednesday and just go down to the treadmill again:(

Today was ok food-wise. I had my yummy oatmeal and a decadent grilled cheese & tomato sandwich on artisan potato bread..YUMMY and worth every single calorie. I was going to have tomato soup but I couldn't find any any with a low sodium count so I just had the sandwich.

Supper was broccoli, the corn I bought over the weekend and a 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes. I still have fruit for later but I'm pretty full right now.

I also made up some overnight oats for tomorrow...I used this recipe minus the dates and almonds since I didnt have any on hand. I'll add some pecans tomorrow though. I also used Blue Diamond unsweetened vanilla milk which is quickly becoming my favorite non-dairy milk. I do wish we could get the Soy Delicious Coconut milk up here though, I'd really like to try that.

I hope everyone had a good day food-wise, fitness-wise and love-wise:)


Much Love & Healthy Living!

Another Good Day

This morning I got in a 55 minute workout with Mr. Treadmill again.  Those 10% inclines are horrendous but I'm determined to be able to withstand for as long as I can.

Breakfast: 2 slices of 100% whole wheat bread, toasted and spread with light cream cheese, each then top with a over easy fried egg...YumYum

Lunch: 3 Ryvita crackers with some cheddar cheese

Afternoon Snack: 1 square of spelt Carrot Cake from Planet Organic Market

Supper: Falafel in a WW pita with some Tzakziki sauce, onion and tomato

Today's meals totaled under 1300 calories and calories burnt with exercise: 416

I went on a slight magazine splurge last night and today and picked up the newest issue of Vegetarian Times, Best Health (Canadian Publication by Readers Digest), Body & Soul Magazines plus a vegetarian recipe booklet published by Company's Coming Company.   My two books from Chapters also arrived so sometime this weekend I'll be starting the Living Vegetarian for Dummies book.

I wonder what tomorrow will bring!!

Much Love & Healthy Living

Happy Canada Day!!!

Today is my 9th year to celebrate Canada Day.  I'm grateful each and every year that I live in this Great Country.  In fact soon I'll be applying to take the citizenship test, YEA ME:)

Today was a great day and despite yesterday junk food fest I was actually under calories and double my workout minutes.

I got up this morning at 5:30 am and took a shower and got my morning internet fix and then around 6:30 I headed downstairs with three loads of laundry, my water bottle and itouch.  Toss laundry in washing machine and head to the fitness room.

1st 20 minutes I walked on the treadmill at 3.5MPH at a 5% incline, pause put fabric softener in washing machines, wait 12 minutes, toss clothes in dryer and head back to treadmill
45 minutes at 3.0MPH alternating between a 5% and 10% incline

Head back to laundry room and cool down for 14 minutes and take clothes back upstairs

Shower again, make breakfast for myself and hubby and then walk to the store for water and groceries: 30 minute walk at between 2.5-3.00MPH

Come home, put stuff away and get the bikes ready to go. 
Bike ride for over two hours

Total Minutes of Exercise today: 239 minutes

With My Fitness Pal my daily calorie allotment for meals is 1440 and I only ate 883 calories:(   I'm just not hungry either.

For supper I made Falafel's with the intention of eating two which would've have used up 806 calories but it was really filling and I ended up only eating one. 

Tomorrow should be another exercised filled day with lots of biking and/or walking.   I'm on summer break now for at least 5 weeks so I'll be getting lots of workouts in.

P.S.  I ordered these two books earlier this week and I cannot wait to read them

Two Thumbs Up

The Yves veggie ground round was good.  I crumbled it up and added some taco seasoning and a 1/2 can of kidney beans.  It made a TON of taco "meat" mix.  I had some with my taco salad, YUM!, saved some out for tomorrow and froze two packages for later. 

Since I was so disappointed in the President's Choice green curry sauce in a jar I checked the jar of Pad Thai sauce and it too has some sort of meat ingredient in it too:(   Good thing I checked as I wanted to make Pad Thai this week. 

Vegan Chocolate Cake for dessert from Planet Organic and I'm a happy gal tonight

Is it Friday Yet?

Today was a ok day mental wise and a pretty good day eating wise:

Breakfast: Oatmeal with Earth Balance and Honey

Lunch: Almond butter and crofters superfruit sandwich on WW bread

Supper: Chicken Breast with some Mashed potatoes, stuffing, and brussel sprouts


If I get stomach issues tonight then I'll know it was the chicken which will make me sad as I love chicken but oh well such is life. I'd rather be healthy and miss chicken than keep eating it and be sick at the time.


I also did 50 minutes of walking today:)

99% No Meat Day

Or Maybe it was 95% its hard to tell

Breakfast: Cheerios with Milk instead of my usual oatmeal

Mid-Morning Snack: Greek Yogurt with Honey & Pecans

Lunch: Campbells chicken noodle soup

Dinner: Gardenburger with Guacamole, lettuce and tomatoes with a few fries


I also had a 1/2 glass of Strawberry Margarita Yummy but really boozy, almost too boozy tasting for me.

I also picked up two containers of Diamond Almond Milk, both unsweetened, one in unflavored and the other vanilla. Hopefully I'll like them:)

50 minutes of walking today too!!

Saturday was a bust

A lot of stuff that was supposed to happen day didn't so today was pretty much a bust for me.

Breakfast: WW English Muffin with Superfruit Spread in Asia blend DELISH!!

Lunch: Oatmeal with a bit of Blue Diamond Almond Butter, Butter and honey

Supper: Chicken Enchiladas and Spanish Rice

Also I need cookbooks recommendations, Vegetarian, Healthy Cooking etc....I know I can search online but then that keeps me on the internet even more so please please please give your favorite cookbooks so that when we get moved I can have some new recipes to try:)

Much Love & Healthy Living
