Round Up

For some reason I’ve found myself at the end of the week with a bunch of leftover stuff.  And by stuff I mean stories, pictures and workouts.  Lucky for you all, I’m now writing a round up post to update you on all the happenings that didn’t make the cut earlier in the week.

1. Valentine’s Day Mud Pie

It’s not Valentine’s Day without a big slice of chocolate ice cream, fudge and whipped cream.  Joey and I devoured this.

2. New oatmeal glass

I have absolutely no idea what Chimay is but I do know this glass is perfect for oatmeal and really, that’s all that matters.

Gahhh, this was gooood. 

And I obviously had too much fun photographing it.  It needed time to cool down, okay?

3. Hit salad

As in salads are either a hit or a miss for me in terms of being filling.  This was a hit.  Or maybe the two pieces of pesto pizza I ate were the hit.

4. Biggest brussel sprout ever

Nuff said.

5. Whole Foods robbed me

Everytime I go to WF and the credit card machine asks “Is this amount okay?” I’m tempted to say no because it’s always more than I expect it to be.

I went to the “Grains, Beans, Greens” bar and got lentils, wheatberries, chard, tomato sauce, asparagus and tempeh. 

To be honest, I was really disappointed in this meal, Whole Foods.  It was bland and watery.  Thank goodness tempeh tastes like heaven.

6. Have you ever seen a celery root??

It’s freaky.

Told you.

I needed it to make a roasted white vegetable soup.  Would you like the recipe?  Celery root is a beast to peel.  Mostly because it didn’t fit in my hand and I couldn’t get a good grip.  I kept throwing it on accident!

8. I’m in the midst of a tedious “diet project”

Or so my health and nutrition teacher calls it.  We have to keep track of everything we eat and drink for 3 days (Thursday-Saturday) and enter it into a program that calculates the nutrition information of our food.  It’s interesting but so much work especially when I have to create new recipes from scratch.

9. Exercise Round Up

Monday: 3 mile run

Tuesday: 2.7 mile run (from my apartment to my car, which I forgot to pick up after Joey took me to dinner on Monday, oops!)

Wednesday: rest

Thursday: hot yoga…sooooo good!

Friday: 3 mile run

I hope the sun stays out so I can get in more outdoor running this weekend.

Happy Friday! 🙂
