After my breakfast post, I have a little blog backtracking to do. Basic Training ran late last night, so by the time I got showered, ready for bed, and settled, I didn’t have time to blog about my eats for the day. Plus, Mal poured me a small glass of wine and turned on How I Met Your Mother and that sounded a lot more enjoyable! I’m sure ya understand! 😉
P.S. I did 112 push-ups at Basic Training last night! 12 on my toes, 100 on my knees! The push-ups were so much “easier” this week and I even did some on my toes! It’s funny what your mind can do! I never in a million years that thought I could do 100 push-ups, but once I did, cranking out 112, some of which were on my toes, wasn’t nearly as difficult. It was awesome! 
Breakfast
This morning’s bowl of oats was a yummy mix: oats, raisins, ground flaxseed meal, fresh strawberries, cinnamon Puffins, and Milton Marketplace’s freshly ground almond butter, which is superb! (It’s not Barney Butter, but it’s still quite delicious!)
I needed an iced coffee to get going this morning!
My breakfast with a Women’s One-A-Day multivitamin and an Adora disk for some extra calcium and Vitamin D…
I have the ugliest lunch today: PB&J on whole wheat, a Pure Bar, and a banana. Oh well, I think it’ll still be a good lunch! 😉 I’m excited to try the Pure Bar!
Dinner
Last night’s dinner was a quickie: Annie’s Mac & Cheese + steamed broccoli.
Mal and I wanted to get something in our stomachs before Basic Training, but we also didn’t want to be too full for our workout. We ate dinner early so that we had time to digest.
For dessert, I munched on a couple of medjool dates and a handful of chocolate and peanut butter chips (not pictured). I had a serious sweet tooth all day yesterday!
Lunch
Yesterday’s lunch was a repeat of Sunday evening’s chickpea patties + salad. The chickpea patties were excellent as leftovers. In yesterday’s salad: salad greens, grape tomatoes, celery, and chickpea patties.
Sweet treats: medjool dates, Quaker Simple Harvest All Natural bar (trail mix flavor), and a dark chocolate Adora disk.
My afternoon snack was an apple that I cored with my apple slicer!
I dipped my apple pieces in almond butter. SUCH a delicious combo!
Mid-afternoon, I ran a quick errand to CVS. I left the store with two toothbrushes, a bottle of conditioner, and a package of dark chocolate M&M’s. It’s funny how that happened? Out of control chocolate cravings! I was planning to eat half of the bag and saving half for later, but I ended up enjoying all of them over the course of the afternoon. Oh well. I’m pretty sure I burned off the calories at Basic Training! 😉
Yoga Challenge: Day 24
I hope that you are still practicing! I!! skipped my yoga yesterday, but I am recommiting myself to the last week of the Challenge! Who’s with me? We’re in the homestretch and there are prizes at the end! (Check out the yoga prizes!) So, if you’re still yoga-ing or have taken a little break, I encourgage you to join back in for the final week. If you’ve ever practiced yoga in the past, I’m sure you know how enjoyable and beneficial it is for your mind, body, and soul!
If you’ve haven’t “recorded” your recent yoga practice, please do so on this post. I’ll catch-up tonight. Promise!
