Fashionable workout

Workout
I almost bailed on going to the gym today and going for a run instead. It was just so sunny and pretty outside, the weather was calling for me. But I wanted to wear my new workout clothes and if I went for a run no one would see me and I wouldn't get to admire myself in the mirror while working out. So I headed to the gym and did an upper body workout and spent plenty of time enjoying my new clothes, I looked good let's just say. I also did some cardio, 15 min. on the spin bike at the beginning and 30 min. on the stairs at the end. I headed to Whole foods after wards to get lunch and a few groceries.
Lunch

I picked up a small salad with all kinds of good stuff.

To be paired with some brown rice sushi with, tuna and avocado. I haven't had sushi in forever and they make one of the best sushi's. I love that they have brown rice sushi.

I forgot to get chopsticks and I heard once that you aren't supposed to use metal with sushi. So I used a plastic fork to dunk my sushi in a light soy sauce with wasabi mix.

I also made a mocktail for some refreshment. I used berry mineral water mixed with about an inch of Pom wonderful juice.

Summer lovin

Workout
This morning I missed dancers workout and kickboxing. I only slept for a few hours last night, I just couldn't get to sleep. So when I got up this morning I felt like I had been ran over. I decided I couldn't get my butt in gear in time for class. So I got some rest, had a great breakfast, drank lots of green tea, and at 9:30am I worked out. At home I did a mix of kickboxing and resistance training working the whole body. I did a lot of legs and abs today, just like we do in class. I finished with 15 min. of yoga and stretching.
Lunch

I sliced up half of a sweet potato and microwaved it for a few minutes. Once done I topped it with two black bean burgers and some hummus. On the side I had half a peach.

The sweet potatoes are definitely better cooked slow in the oven, but for a quick lunch the microwave works.

And I would like to leave you with a nice view from my deck, as I enjoy my lunch.

Empty and then full

This morning I went on a 5 mile run. I prefer running in the morning versus the afternoon. My legs feel better and my belly feels lighter, since I don't have half a day's worth of food in it. I focused on speed this morning since I had a specific amount of time for my run, I had an appointment this morning.

After my appointment I stopped at Great Harvest, which was hopping since it was noon. I got my usual sandwich and enjoyed it immensely.

I also picked up a package of whole wheat rolls and this lovely muffin, which I have plans for tomorrow morning. Tomorrow's breakfast is going to be a good one. Yes I'm already planning for breakfast, it's my favorite meal.

Full day ahead

After I got home I did the usual chores such as un packing, cleaning house, and doing laundry. Once I was done it was time for a run. It's going to be 92 degrees today and it was already 80 degrees when I set out.

I went for an easy 5 mile run. It was a little hard with it warming up, but I pushed through it.

After I got home I showered and then made lunch.

I had a 3 egg omelet on a raisin and cinnamon Ezekiel English muffin. Topped with half a slice of Havarti light cheese. The savory sweet combo was really good and would be perfect for an on the go breakfast.

I also had some carrots and I was going to have some cherries but I was just too full. I'm saving the cherries for a snack later.

My egg separating skills weren't up to par today. A little bit of yoke got in.

And to rehydrate I had a glass of herbal peach iced tea.
