Quickie Post

9 07 2009

Hey girls! I’ve got to get in the shower soon and then eat a FAST dinner followed by some babysitting. I’m babysitting for a bible study so it’s not very long and I’ll be home in no time. I’m looking forward to it! So, this post won’t be incredibly long!

To start things out, I found this cool and interesting article on yoga and quads. Here’s the link!

In giveaway news,

Emily at The Health Nut is giving away coconut oil! Check it out here

Nikes and Ponytails is having a HUGE July giveaway! Check it out here and be sure to mention me! THANKS!

Mommy Update: she’s doing well, although she’s in more pain than she was yesterday. I hope she feels better tomorrow! I made her some oatmeal this morning 🙂 I feel like a mom! Taking care of her (which I am loving!), folding laundry, cleaning the kitchen…But I’m enjoying it 🙂 Thank you SO much for all the thoughts and prayers!

Breakfast this morning, after taking my doggie for a quick walk, was a bowl of oatmeal cooked with banana and a chopped date. Topped with some organic peanut butter and all natural almond butter. Yum! Kept me full for around 4 hours!

After cleaning the kitchen and doing some blog commenting, I did some pilates from exercisetv.tv. DANNGG! Now I know why Miss GC has a six pack. It kicked my butt abs! Loved it though. Followed by 20 minutes yoga for buns on yogadownload.com and 10 minutes C & K strength routine. Wonderful workout 🙂

Lunch was absolutely delicious! I took a slice of the bread from last night, which was phenomenal (my guess is it’s from a fresh bakery, has lots of seeds, and smells like herbs) and topped it with 1/4 avocado, mashed, chopped BROC, and provolone. Oh wow, this was out of this world delish. Y’all have gotta try this broc-avocado combo. I had this with some sweet potato fries and an un-pictured apple.

Oh and these were consumed pre-workout to make sure I had enough fuel. I’ve been eating them like all day so…times 3?

I’m currently eating grapes and plan on dipping my spoon in the PB jar before I grab a shower. Grapes never photograph well for me haha, so no pic!

Verse of the Day: (running out of battery, so used http://www.verse-a-day.com/home/index.php) Jeremiah 23:24

“Can anyone hide himself in secret places, so I shall not see him?” says the LORD; “Do I not fill heaven and earth?”

Happy Thursday loves! Sorry this post was so brief. I’ve gotta go! Be back later for commenting 🙂

❤ jess

Heyyy! What’s happening with y’all? I am in a fantastic mood because my mom is home from the hospital! I’ve been designated as her personal nurse and I’m loving my little “job.” She’s doing well which is good, but probably won’t be fully back to normal for another three weeks I think. My mom’s sweet friends have been providing us with delicious dinners. Last night we had a chicken-ritz cracker-poppy seed bake (with green beans and rice) which was delightful and tonight we have baked ziti (with salad, fresh bread (home made I think!!), and chocolate chip cookies) along with chicken pot pie. Here are some pics I’ve snapped!

Isn’t that so sweet? 🙂 There’s nothing like good friends!

I made my mom a little message for when she got home. “I ❤ U”

Breakfast today was a bowl of Total Cereal—Blueberry Pomegranate! Mmm! I also had a banana with organic peanut butter. I took a pic of it, but it wasn’t nearly as pretty as yesterday’s. So I’ll show you the one I took yesterday 😀

Lunch today was absolutely scrumptious! Man oh man was it good! With a lunch this good, you know there’s sweet potato involved. This time it was in fry form! These were cooked perfectly. I do not like my fries crunchy and they were just how I like them. Nice and soft 🙂 I also had a DELISH wrap. I took a flat-out wrap and spread it with 1/4 avocado and topped that with broc and provolone. Y’all have got to try this combo. Yum yum!

I also had a granny smith apple!

Here’s some dark chocolate that I’ve eaten in the last day or so…

Oh yes! Yesterday’s raw banana ice cream! Oh goodness this was delicious. Especially topped with organic peanut butter. *Heaven*

Will it replace my froyo? No, they will work as a team 😀

SO GOOD. It did change my life. Haha!

After lunch settled, I did Yoga Fitness Plus on exercisetv.tv

I love this site! The videos are free to do (unless you download them to your mp3 player or ipod, etc) and are so good!

Yoga Fitness Plus was FANTASTIC. Very challenging! My glutes were a-burning. And I loved it 😀 After this I did K & C 10 minute Strength Routine. Loving this! Although today I did half the chair sits because I was literally shaking!

After sweating it out, I had a bowl of grapes and cherries. Along with some organic peanut butter. This is my favorite peanut butter 😀 I know, I know, sorry PB & C. But I just LOVE this stuff. If you see it, get a jar!
