Lobster face.

Today I woke at 7:20am, man shoot i don't even need an alarm clock anymore! This morn' i was sore as the day is long (what a cheese ball). Seriously my back, thighs and calves were achin. However, bfast cheered me right up :)

Black coffee, TJ's 0% Greek honey yogurt topped with some pb puffins... oh how I've missed thee. Also a banana with cinn and the obligatory almond butta.

Even though my bodies sore I sucked it up and went for a 25 min-ish run . Let me tell you my legs felt like a 1000 pounds running up hills! After, I stretched my limbs and did a few abs. A thing to know about me is i HATE doing abs, honestly I loathe it. The only thing that got me through it was listening to Vampire Weekend.

Bfast held me over for a good four hours then i snacked on this dime piece.
Half a red pepper, mushrooms sliced up, organic TJ's tofu with hot sauce and about 2 table spoons of hummus. OH and of course i followed with this.
Ok I had this multiplied by two :)

I lounged outside soaking up the rays all day long, I also managed to do a couple laps in the pool. And lounge around some more. I know, a feat for mankind. Hence the title lobster face, may have been a little over eager with the sun and a little under eager with the sun screen. Around 4:30 I gots the munchies!

A fig (this is my first fresh fig, and chillld i might be hooked!), a cold white peach and honey graham z bar. Def not as good as the chocolate chip, but i heated this bad boy up in the microwave and it tasted like a gooey cookie!

I soaked up some more ray ray's and then played cribbage with my bro.
Unfortunately I don't have a picture of my din :(

BUUUT it consisted of grilled salmon, a grape leaf with hot sauce, a fig and a salad with tomatoes, blue cheese, almond slivers and hummus.
Also tonight I had another banana with almond butta while watching sex and the city, hey its what i crave. Plus my beloved bowl of cereal.
Pb puffins with TJ's chocolate filled squares (i almost died when i found out these existed) with soy milk. The perfect ending my day :)

Nighty night!

I don't know who this man is... but if you look closley you can see a dog in his backpack. Hah! Completly normal on a hike, apparently dogs are not meant to walk or anything.

I just wanted to post a few pics of the pretty views I saw on my hike today! So here you are :)



Feel That Burn!

For some reason today i rose abnormally early. Perhaps it was the sun gleaming through my window, but 6am on a Saturday is not usually how i roll. My ma, bro and I were leaving around 9:30 to go on a hike. So I consumed my time by listening to a lil' Bon Iver and Ray Lamontagne... start my morn' off right! Here's bfast.

A banana, strawberries, almond butta and my fav kiddies clif bar: chocolate chip. Treated the tummy splendidly.

Soon the three of us were off. The hike was killa! K, so it wasn't that bad but 4 miles uphill... shoooot I felt that BURN! When we reached the top my bro and I climbed up to the peak. Well worth it indeed. Then I busted out the lunchie.

This little guy is hidden in the tin foil wrap in the first pic. Whole wheat wrap with hummus, cherry tomatoes, spinach, taziki sauce, half a block of tofu and hot sauce. Also, I ate a cashew cookie lara bar (yum!). About half the carrots and red bell peppers plus a few cherries not pictured.

The hike back down began in a simple walk, BUT somehow ended up in a full on sprint down the mountain. Seriously my brother treated this hike as his off day workout, for me on the other hand, it was the most I've sweat in a long ass time!

We came home and I was wiped. Took a shower and soon enough it was dinna.

Practically yesterday's din, excluding the egg roll from TJ's (obvi my fav store). But fer reals check out that salad! A thing of beauty.
Right after din I had some more of my CRACK, i mean mini pb cup chocolates... Delicious.

I played a board game with the fam tonight. I swear were not all about bonding over games on a Saturday night... or are we? Ha, well while playing I had a sugar free kozy shack tapioca puddin' and some more pb chocolates, it might be love.

G'night, hope your Saturday night was AAAAMAZING!

Detox

SO this is my first foodie post!
Detox you ask? Well basically it refers to the foods i consumed today... for me, trust it was a full body cleanse. The end of the school year put my body in a weird funk. With getting sick, finals, junk food and TOO much alcohol... this girl needs to get back on track! Now living with my parents for the summer (
yay free good food! boo to living in a different city than my friends :( ) I plan on healthying (not a word i know) it up!

Today started off with a lovely
bfast of fruit and almond butta

After this delicious spread I lounged around for about an hour then went on a lil' run outside. Let me tell you, running outside after your used to running on a treadmill is a mighty ass challenge. But oh how i have missed it! After showering and hanging out some more (oh the life of the unemployed... I'm working on it) I had this snackie.

Peanut butter lara bar=love, plus some TJ's nonfat honey yogurt with cinnamon... mmmm.

This was proceeded with cleaning my room and watching Sex and the City. After about two hours i was haannngry again so I had some more TJ's goods.



A block of organic tofu doused with hot sauce and mini peanut butter cups, possibly one of the best things on earth.

I went swimming a little after (another one of the luxury's of living at home is my parents pool) for about a half an hour. Then lied in the sun, because it decided to actually come out today. After showering, round 2 for the day I may have watch some more Sex in the City... it happens. My Brother came home around 6 for the weekend (he lives about half hour away) and we joked around per usual. Then it was time for some din din!
It was delicious if I do say so myself. Salad with cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, almond silvers, blueberries, capers, hummus then drizzled with balsamic vinegar. Also I had a slice of TJ's cheese less pizza, muh fav, and a grape leaf with hot sauce.

The rest of the night involved me attempting to learn to play cribbage with the fam, what a joke. And another game I can't even remember... except for the secret signals my brother and I made up, such as blowing an imaginary viking horn. Of course.

I'm ending the night with this little gem (basically bfast ha) and a couple of non pictured handfuls of mini pb cups.


I'm pretty much a bad ass on a Friday night. Getting up early to go hiking tomorrow, so good night!
