Today was bitter sweet.
Why? Well, sweet because it was literally perfection weather wise. This was the first time in 8 days that we saw the sun for a full 24 hours.
Bitter because it's almost over and the weather man says we won't see the sun again for another 8 days.
WHAT IS UP WITH THIS RAIN???
I don't ever remember having a spring with so much rain and storms. It's dreadful but I hope this means its getting it out of its system by summertime.
Breakfast
I rolled out of bed by 6am so that I could shower and eat breakfast before my day.
I made another Buckwheat Bake, this time using the best raspberries (thanks Trader Joe's) blueberries, and a little Galaxy Granola.
Raspberry Blueberry Buckwheat Bake
- 1/4 C Buckwheat Flour
- 1 T Oat Bran
- 1 T Flax
- 1 tsp Chia
- 1/2 Mashed Banana
- 4 T Coconut milk
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1 egg white
Mix dry, mix wet, combine the two. Microwave for 1 min 45 sec.
This was my first time using buckwheat flour and I have to say, this one was noticeably different than my last bake (that I used just oats for). I like it, but I think I may prefer the texture of the oat cake a little more.
After I ate, I headed to the gym to take a spin class. The class was being held to raise money for Tour De Cure and we did it in the parking lot. So much fun but I thought I would be safe from the heat at 8am. Not so much. I was dripping in sweat. Plus, the class was extremely intense but I loved it!
After spin, I double dipped with classes and took Body Combat. A favorite of mine. Spin is a such a killer lower body workout and Body Combat definitely focuses more on upper body so all around, I had a fantastic full body workout.
Toly and I had a bunch of errands to run today and in the midst, we stopped for lunch at Brewhouse.
Lunch
I ordered the special salad: Jamaican Jerk Grilled Salmon
This came on a bed of spinach with grapefruit and orange sections, red onion, cabbage, and sunflower seeds. It was fantastic!
After a few hours of shopping, we came home with some random things. One of them being a Margarita Mix that we found on clearance at Target.
Obviously, I had to test it out….
Pre dinner cocktails on a gorgeous evening. This was so refreshing.
Dinner
For dinner, I made a wonderful salad of mango, avocado, edamame and cabbage with grilled asparagus and a grilled Mahi Mahi burger.
This was perfect. Not too heavy but deliciously filling.
We are laying low tonight with a movie.
Hope everyone is enjoying themselves this weekend.
Goodnight!
