I planned a long ride for this morning knowing I didn’t have to rush back with Zakman on vacation.
I prepped a pound of strawberries and chowed about half a pound before my ride.
Headed out on my bike on this perfect summer morning for 15.4 miles in 1 hour and 1 minute.
Upon my return I promptly polished off the other half pound of strawberries and the last of my pineapple too.
Yes, I practice dish conservation.
I checked in on our little buddy this morning too.
It’s been one of those days.
What exactly does that sign mean you ask? No yelling.
Now don’t get me wrong, I try not to yell. But you might say that I’ve been known to raise my voice. Sometimes I yell more than or louder than I’d like to admit. But I promise that I DO TRY not to yell. Some days I’m more successful than others.
Today’s workout can be filed under: ohmygodwhatthehellhappenedtothishouse?!
You know it’s been a busy weekend when the house is a disaster on Monday morning.
I knew a rest day was in order when I wasn’t pumped about my run yesterday. Even though I was glad I ran after I got going, my reluctance was also my sign that it was time for a day off.
I swapped today’s work out time for an hour of getting caught up house work and then another hour catching up on emails and cleaning up my desk. Around 8 I felt hungry enough for breakfast.
Be Happy! It’s Friday!
One might think that as a stay at home mom Friday would seem like any other day, weekend or not, and in some ways it is like any other day… but I can’t completely shake the Friday mentality that’s ingrained in us from early on. Of course I enjoy having Zak home for two days to help share the child rearing duties! And I enjoy his company too I suppose. 😉
See? I’m not kidding!
I ate the whole dang thing!
It was exactly the same as yesterday’s apple, tofu, cashew, feta, miso salad but with mushrooms today too.
Maxine helped with today’s afternoon snack: Magenta Monsters. Magenta would be Maxine’s new favorite color.
I don’t know how magenta these really were but we rolled with it!

And when no one was looking I tossed in a few spinach leaves and they didn’t even notice! 😉 I’m getting them acclimated to the taste of spinach *insert evil cackle here*
For lunch today I made one of my favorite salads.
Red leaf lettuce, spinach, 3/4 of a large Gala apple, chopped (I ate the other 1/4 while I prepped) some tomato and basil feta cheese, cubes of extra firm tofu and a few cashews.
Everything into a large bowl, then I added 2 Tbsp of this amazing Miso dressing.
Cover and then shake like a Polaroid picture.
When I say tossed salad, I mean tossed salad.
A snacky kind of day.
A blowing the annoying cotton wood seeds kind of day.
A playing with a stick in the water kind of day.
A staticky kind of day.
A green monster in disguise kind of day.
A bath time kind of day.
A making popcorn kind of day.
A put the kids to bed early because Zak’s working late and I’m ready for a break kind of day.
