A Mix
Well this afternoon I was totally famished, so instead of eating half of this bar, I ate ALL OF IT… and let me tell you, it was WELL WORTH the splurge!!! I think this bar is my new favorite… The Apple Ginger bar was absolutely amazing, don’t get me wrong, but I loved the heartiness & wholesome-ness of the nuts & dried fruit that this bar provided – yum!!! My description of this bar is “trail-mix in a bar”… creative, ehh?
Work has been non-stop craziness… I’m in a transitional phase now so I’m hopping all over the place, so I promise I’ll get to commenting on ya’ll blogs tomorrow, but tonight I’m going to take the night off… I read through them all, but I just don’t have the energy to comment, I’m exhausted!
Dinner was a quick one in the hopes of making it in time to get to spinning… I had another shot at Kashi’s frozen pizzas… this time it was the Thin Crush Roasted Veggie… This was just as yummy as the other pizza, but I felt like the slices (perhaps the thin crust factor – although deliciously crunchy) were not quite as filling as the Mediterranean flavor… Plus, I was looking forward to tasting artichokes, since they were pictured on the box, but unfortunately, I was not so lucky… Oh well, guess that’s why you need to stick to making your own food, right?
I also had a salad which was piled high with greens!
Then, I was off to the gym for spinning, but sadly the class was jam-packed… I got really iritated at first because I only brought cycling shoes with me, but I made the best of the situation and instead walked on the treadmill on a high incline for 15 minutes (sorry treadmill, I hope I didn’t hurt you!), then I did the elliptical for 10 at a high resistance, and the stepper for 5 minutes… Working out in cycling shoes was quite the feat, it required stability and tricky body positioning… I just hope that I didn’t damage my knees at all! Then I spent some time doing a LOT of weight work… I did legs, assisted pull-ups, rows, back, chest, biceps, and some quick abs… All in all 330 calories burned, not too bad… not great, but not bad!
Then, I, of course, rewarded myself with a snack… but a healthy one… a sundae… no, seriously… Look:
Strawberry Rice Dream + 1/8 blueberry plank + fresh strawberries = my kind of sundae!






That pizza looks really good; nice and thin crust. I’m gonna have to tackle pizza sometime – I’ve actually never made it before, besides helping my dad when I was younger! Kashi is great for inspiration
I love the sundae!
I didn’t know they made ‘ice cream’!!! Exciting!!
Have a great night,
Beck
wow, thats fancy pizza for being frozen….looks good!
have you tried the carrot cake flavor of rice dream? its SO good.
Your dessert looks really good. I want some ice cream now!
That sundae is making me want my 2ND bowl of ice cream for today!!
WHOAAAAA!!!! Your dessert looks So yummy!! I haven’t had Strawberry Rice Dream yet… hmm, must get some when I finish my Cookies n’ Dream.
here’s to making the best of the spinning crowded situation and NOT just returning home!
That Honest FOod bar looks awesome (and hey, if it’s all natural and made with healthy ingredients, I never consider it a splurge
)!
OHH! your killing me with the granola planks and the oatmeal squares, im not sure where exactly you live but their NOWHERE to be found!
( you are soo lucky….not only do you get that but you get delecious kashi pizza too…..i LOVE THAT SO MUCH! its one of my favorie foods.
thats it…..clear a space in your house cuz im moving in. HAHA jk. have a great day
I have GOT to find those Honest Food Bars! What a great way to make a sundae “healthy”
Linds! I have finally caught up on all of the wonderful things you have been doing recently! Man, I left on thursday to visit my family in Waterford, Virginia (Soooo b-e-a-uuuutiful!!!) and despite bringing my laptop with me, I did nothing with it (in terms of hooking it up to their airport). And thus I am only N.O.W. getting to my blog checkup! I looooved that picture of you with your Granola Planks
If I looked that good after working out… Man, I don’t even know. Haha, I look like a beast after I work out! You looked absolutely radiant and lovely
Anyways, it seems like you’ve continued to do a wonderful job with not counting calories/eating intuitively! And filling your body with goodness always helps! Have a wonderful day and happy belated 3 months until your wedding day! So sorry I missed all of this!
Everything looks wonderful! I want to steal that bar from you:)
PS I have tagged you to fill out a fun survey. Just thought you might find it enjoyable the next time you have a little free time!
I love trail mix and I love granola bars- now I have to try one of the Honest Food bars since you described it as trail mix in a bar! Thanks for the review.
