yesterday was a super relaxing day. we took it easy all weekend because the next three weeks, i will occupied with wedding related (not mine, duh) activities and then we are moving on july 5th. i wanted to nothing, and that is exactly what i did. i headed to soul cycle on sunday morning. legit it is the most fun workout ever. i've said it before and i'll say it again, if you live in nyc, you must try it. i recently was trying out a gym and went to one of their spinning classes and i wanted to die i was so bored. in soul cycle, you will never, ever ever get bored. you will sing, yell, clap, lift weights, and finish class convinced you can do anything. seriously. kelly ripa goes. and she's jacked, so if that's not good motivation, i don't know what is.
after i pretended to be kelly ripa for 60 minutes, i headed to trader joes. this has pretty much become a sunday tradition, and i don't know what we are going to do when we move. we always get the same thing pretty much, so i figured i would show you what i fill my belly with on a given week. please note i have excluded the copious amount of brownies, waffels and dinges, pinkberry and other various treats that i also like to dabble in.
i divided it into a few categories. breakfast. snacks. and dinner. lunch is usually a combo of all three if i don't hit up the caf at work for sushi.
as you've seen on the blog, i usually have either a think thin bar with a piece of fruit for breakfast, or i will make a shake after a good morning workout. i also loooove cereal so that is an essential purchase. i decided to try almond milk also to see how it tastes in shakes and/or with cereal. ps, have you tried the peanut butter think thin bar? it's legit like eating a reese's for bfast.
snackzzzzzzzzzzzzz. love me some sesame almonds, and t is a huge fan of the wasabi ones. also, baby bel is a main staple in my lunch box. fresh popcorn is also a favorite, esp. if you can find ranch seasoning and watch oprah whilst eating it. also, power berries. if you haven't tried them, you need to run to your nearest tjoes and hoard 8 packages. they are SO SO good and i pretend they are healthy because they are "dark chocolate" with "antioxidants" and "berries". i also got raspberries because they are finally in season and not 9.99 a container. i even sprung for 2. balllllerrrrrrr.
dinn. lots of meatless balzzzz. and nugzz. and broc and cauliflower. those are my main dinner ingredients , simple but to the point. also, we tend to order out a lot. it's a bad habit but seamlessweb is my bfffaeae so it's hard not to induldge one in a while thrice a week. for dinner last night, i made shrimp scampi and a cranberry spinach salad. see? i do cook. proof here:
it's an ina recipe modified to not include 13 tons of butter. and i use "whole wheat" panko bread crumbs. so again, it's healthy. like i might as well just have eaten celery. after dinner, t and i attempted some yoga for our ailing body parts. we made a little yoga studio in our living room, which is now mostly empty due to the impending move.
also, t's mad because he's afraid people will think that's MY bike, not his. mine is the other one that occasionally makes an appearance here, but truth is i can barely ride it and i'm afraid of it. after yoga, we stretched a little..and i did the new to me stretch which t titled "poop in your shoes"
clearly, i was concentrating very hard here. it was a great sunday. what did you do?
