This is what I woke up to this morning! ACK!
So it was fitting that I had a bowl of this for breakfast…
a lovely bowl of warm steamy oats!
This helped with the chill that I was feeling on this snowy morning. I made the usual banana oats and topped them with blueberries, flax seed, chia seeds and a spoonful of almond butter…delish!
I had some fresh pressed in my fall mug
Sorry for no post last night…I went out to have some “me” time (a.k.a. shopping) and got home late and hubs wanted to watch a movie so no time to post.
Yesterday was a pretty busy day which included a morning family walk, lunch, laundry a little creative cooking and then my me time!
It was a chilly morning…but it was still nice for a walk. First we started with a little run of 1 mile. The hubs wanted to try and run and originally that is what we set out to do. But 1 mile was all he could muster. So we just walked the rest of the route I had planned.
We were gone for almost an hour and did 3.54 miles, a pretty good walk I would say.
When we got home I was starving and made myself a turkey wrap.
I put turkey, cheese, hummus, romaine, pickles and mustard on a flaxseed wrap…so yummy. With that I had an Ambrosia apple..I am loving all the delicious apples there are right now! So crispy and sweet!
The afternoon consisted of a shower and laundry. Since my me time was going to be over the supper hour I decided it would be nice to take something yummy with me for supper to the mall.
I had some Kale in the fridge so I got on the computer to find something great to make with it. I found this Kale and Quinoa Pilaf. It was really easy to make and tasted great.
I packed some of this salad up to take with me.
along with a Granny Smith apple and a big jug of H2O. I carry a big purse so it all fit nicely!
I enjoyed my “me” time at the mall. I love just walking around and browsing it may sound silly but I love just hanging out and doing what I want.
After walking around for a bit I started to get hungry so I pulled out my supper and munched on it. As I was sitting there I spotted the Marble Slab Ice Cream Shoppe across from where I was sitting and thought it would be a nice treat to have some ice cream…so I did!
This place is great you choose your ice cream and can add mixin’s. I chose one of their tasty creations….
Almond Joy…it was delicious! It had Chocolate ice cream with Almonds and Coconut! All my favourite flavours.
I got a child’s portion which was the perfect size for me.
I did pick up a few things for myself. I got a tunic sweater to wear over shirts for the office, some travel size stuff from Bath & Body Works for my up coming travel plans and some new eye shadows from MAC. Lovely greys to create a smoky eye for fall!
Well I am going to visit a friend this afternoon with J and I still need to fit in my workout…better get going!
See ya later!
