When we got up this morning, John pointed out the window and sounding annoyed. It was snowing! We were supposed to get mostly rain, but it sure didn’t start that way.
I have a feeling it is going to be a snowy winter this year.
Continuing with a smoothie for breakfast today.
This one was unsweetened chocolate almond milk, protein powder, 1/2 banana and 2 tablespoons of flax meal. It made more than fit in this glass, so I was able to have “seconds” 😀
This shake didn’t keep me as full as the one I had yesterday.
I did do a mid morning HIIT workout. You can check Youtube for 15 minute metabolic workouts to do. Today was a lower body one with squats and burpees and the like. Damn – you know those times when you get done with a workout, have noodle legs, and then understand that tomorrow your legs are going to feel so sore? That’s me LOL.
So, after that workout I felt really hungry and had half of a Zone bar:
Then I ended up eating the other half about 30 minutes later… Go me.
Lunchtime was a cheese omelet to which I added some of that diced sweet potato/cauliflower mix that we had left over from last night.
It’s like my omelet has measles! This was good and added some bulk and texture to the omelet. Plus veggies!
I’m starting to feel a little overwhelmed on the work front. That feeling ebbs and flows, but with selling on Amazon handmade (to which I have added another line that I’ll show at some point), this is the busy time and I worry about keeping up.
Coffee keeps me going, though. << Afternoon latte inserted here >>
Dinner was a quick throw together vegetarian chili. While that was cooking, I got into the chips:
I really love potato chips. I guess I just love potatoes in all the forms 😀 The nibble monster is back.
This chili used Bush’s white chili beans, diced tomatoes, veggie crumbles, tomato paste and chili powder.
Topped with a little cheese and sour cream. John really liked this. I thought it was good, but in general I like beanless chili. Definitely a good meal for such a crappy weather day, though.
Look at that – two posts in a row! Woo hoo!
At first glance I thought the sour cream on your chili was an egg and also though that was interesting LOL!
I would so love to be a person who can be satisfied with just a smoothie, but I’m not. I think it would help me in my own desire to be slimmer. Every once in a while on a Saturday and if I’m really busy, I make one that I used to get at my old gym and I do pretty well with that but it has quite a bit of bulk with peanut butter, banana, Greek yogurt, and almond milk. But I think the key is being busy i.e. meaning moving around and occupied and not sitting at a desk doing work.
Nice to see you two days in a row! I’ve been kicking around doing some blogging myself so that I’m not writing blogs in comments on other people’s blogs ^^^^^ but then I wonder if I really want to do that and then I don’t.
Since I stopped doing transcription, it’s harder to sit down and just blog. I used to take breaks from work and write parts of my posts, which made it easy to keep up with.
You had a tad more snow than we did, LOL. Well, probably not so much LOL for you – it’s too early for this!!
I did some sleuthing and discovered your new line – you should show it here! Also, I actually didn’t know Amazon had a homemade section…going down that rabbit hole in my spare time will be fun!
Yes – Amazon Handmade is a thing! It’s pretty much like Etsy, although it’s nice because you can do Prime by sending stuff in for Amazon to fill. We are going to get a good chunk of snow tomorrow night – 5 inches or so. Too early!!
