My hand went into the cookie jar twice today. I recently replenished my Super Charge Me cookie stash and I just could not resist them this afternoon.
These are my absolute favourite cookie. They are also not all that bad for you either in moderation of course 
They are chockfull of healthy ingredients.
I had my cookies with a nice cup of Coco Caramel Rooibos tea. Mmmmm…so good!
My morning started off great today. I got up early and did a weight circuit. I had looked at my calendar and noticed the last time I had done any weights was about 2 weeks ago…too long in my books!
My workout went something like this:
Tri-set 1 (3 super sets)
- Forward Lunge (10lb DB) – 8 reps each leg
- MB Push Up – 5 reps each side
- SB Leg Curl – 12 reps
60 Second rest and a big gulp of water. No rest between superset though. Just keep going that is how you work up a sweat!
Tri Set 2 (3 super sets)
- 1 Leg RDL (10lb DB) – 8 reps each leg
- DB High Pull – (15lb DB) 8 reps each side
- SB Jackknife – 8 reps
It was a good workout and I completed it in about 20 minutes. After that I dug into a hearty breakfast.
A lovely bowl of hot oats. It has been awhile! This is basic banana oats topped with Naturally Nutty Cinnamon Vanilla Sunflower Butter, drizzle of Coconut Butter and fresh Strawberries.
I had this bowl gone in minutes…it was so darn good! I have purchased some canned pumpkin so I think pumpkin oats are going to be making an appearance soon!
I also had a lovely cup of hot coffee of course.
I love starting my day with a cup of joe! Plus it always tastes so good with the oats.
The rest of my day was pretty low key. J and I took a walk to the grocery store to pick up a few things and then I did a bit of laundry in the afternoon. Of course I had my little helper pitch in as well.
Supper tonight was quick and easy. Chicken stir-fry. It had been a while and it is a great way to get my picky husband to eat veggies!
I started with getting my rice prepared first.
I got this really great Ancient Grains Rice Mix from Costco I love it. It takes a while for it too cook but love the chewy texture and nutty taste.
It has whole oats, black barley and quinoa in it.
I cooked 1 cup of the rice mixture with 2 cups of chicken stock. I like cooking it in chicken or vegetable stock if I have it because it gives it some nice flavour as opposed to cooking it in just plain water.
For my stir-fry “sauce” I used Newman’s Own Sesame Ginger dressing. I really like the taste of this dressing and the best part it adds great flavour without adding a ton of calories.
The stir-fry was chicken with whatever veggies I had on hand. I threw in onions, mushrooms, orange pepper, broccoli slaw and celery. I also put in a handful of peanuts at the end. I love the nutty crunch!
It was very yummy! I also put a few dashes of Frank’s Red Hot on top to give it a little bit of a kick!
I think my eyes where bigger than my stomach because I went back for a smidgen of a 2nd helping and now I have the uncomfortable feeling of full! Blech!
Well time for my book and bed! I have a early morning run planned.
Night!
