Personal Training
This is how we do ittttt
Happy Friday! Oh its Friday Night and I feel alright… makes me think of this song…anyways I digress. FIRST I want t thank you all SO much for your sweet comments about my post yesterday regarding overtraining yesterday. I got such a great response from all of you, some who have experienced overtraining and some who have never experienced it! Whether or not you have, I just want to remind you all to Listen to your bodies!!

Dinner last night
I tried out some veggie dogs which I have never had before. I mixed them with some roasted eggplant, brussel sprouts, and skiritaki noodles. I did not like these dogs at all!! Maybe I cooked them wrong? Has anyone had these before and have any suggestions? I acutally had to throw them out 🙁

Today I had work bright and early, well not really bright considering it is still dark at 5am. I knew I was doing some cardio today but I didn’t know what. I started off running and my knee started bothering me about 20 minutes in so I cut my planned 4.5 miler short and listened to my body. I made it a 3 miler then went into the aerobics room and did a mini spin class with myself for about 15 minutes. New Ke$sha CD? its aaaaamazing!! great workout tunes!
oat bran for brek @ 8:30
- 1/3 C oatbran cooked in h20

Came home and was about to eat my toes off, so I dug into some kalamata sabra with a stalk to hold me over, because I wanted to make some pumpkin spiced chickpeas!

Hi, thank you for the comment on my blog recently – I appreciate hearing new comments and thoughts. You are very fortunate to have the ability and life circumstances for physical pursuits. Have a nice day!
I am obsessed with Jersey Shore! I was cracking up with the commercials when they were giving him a makeover lol. Is it just me or do Sam and Ronnie annoy you too?
dude that tofu salad looks so good! I think I want it lol
Your egg white pancakes look good! I bet they’d be delicious with peanut butter!
did you see that jersey shore is coming back for a second season? with the same cast?!
Tofu salad looks great! Have fun tonight 🙂
I love the Ke$ha songs too! I have been working out to them all week and they are so great for cardio.
K.. glad Im not the only one secretly and shamelessly watching Jersey Shore..lol. They are ridic and yet I am intrigued.
YUMMY eats.. LOVE the smiley pancake 🙂
Happy Friday, hun!
oh ma gawwd i love that idea for the egg white pancake! you’re a genius 🙂
have fun at dinner tonight girl!
Cuteee pancake 🙂
I’ve tried those veggie dog things and they were just alright. I never cared for “real” hotdogs to begin with though.
Fav. hummus flavor = roasted red pepper! And tons of garlic
I’m meeting a friend for lunch on Sunday! I like my eggs runny, preferably poached! With a drop of soy sauce! Mmmm
Does the kalamata sabras come with those olives? Thats freaking cool.
michael cera is my hero. i’ve yet to find a veggie hot dog that is even remotely tolerable, lame!
That tofu salad sounds amazing!! 🙂
I have a crush on Michael Cera!! Just don’t tell Andrew!! 😉 That’s just between us girls, hehe!!
fav hummus-tahini hummus
eggs-with cheese and ham!
good for you for listening to your body! thats so important. thanks for sharing that. umm tofu salad?! YUM!
Oh wow does that cottage cheese and chick pea snack look good. I may need to try that. How are they seasoned?
Not much planned this weekend, just homework and hanging out. Eggs I do like over easy, runny to dip bread in. And for hummus it is actually my step dads mother’s hummus that is my fave. you can’t beat it. She is from Egypt, so it is very authentic. She makes kick ass falafel too.
The pumpkin spiced chickpeas are on my “must make” list! I think I’ll make them right now…
Weekend plans: Hubby and I are going to sneak in a date. It’s been a while, so I’m excited…
Eggs: I can’t do hard boiled or all the way cooked eggs anymore, so I only eat eggs over easy with the egg still a bit runny…
Have a great weekend!
Never heard of Jersey Shore! I do not have cable. Is it on Hulu?
I’m going to download kesha tunes per your suggestion! And that tofu salad is a great idea- I am going to trader joe’s today to scope out some tofu. Sorry about the veggie dogs 🙁 The veggies looked delish though!
I only eat eggs if they’re scrambled and on toast/an English muffin, etc. with cheese. Mmm!
And pretty much any flavor of hummus is awesome!
all of your eats look amazingg! that is a good packagee ..jealous! the eggwhtie pancake is adorable too 🙂
xoxoxo

The Pumpkin Spiced Chickpeas look soooo good! What a great idea!
And of course, I’m obsessed with Jersey Shore! No shame though, girl!! I just say I’m doing my duty keeping up with modern culture;) hehe
just regarding your last post – i thought I was overdoing it with running (6 days a week; atleast 5 miles) so I cut back to 5 days a week and have seen a major improvement!! i can run faster/longer on run days and am not as sluggish anymore. werid, huh?
love the egg white pancake!
what was the veggie dog brand that you used? I tried lightlife and they are awesome. Cooked them on a non stick skillet. so good!
Rock on!! i just downloaded the new Ke$ha cd too from iTunes! Its awesome to work out too I think. I just loaded it up on my iPod this morning. Awesome. Got me through a long cardio sesh thats for sure!
Bummer about the dogs! I know some kinds are better than others. There is this one brand that I really like but Im drawing a blank now. I’ll pass it along if I think of it! I know for some people its a texture thing.
Awesome looking eats too today. Love the homemade salad dressing. Sounds delish!
What kind of low carb bread do u use? Ive been trying to find a decent one!
This weekends is a relaxing one! we are super busy the next few weekends so I wanted to make sure to get my down time in! For eggs I usually just like in omelet form. Thats mainly the way that I eat them. (With lots of veggies stuffed in it=) My favorite hummus has to be any type of spicy hummus. I love when my food has some kick to it. Have a great weekend!!! xoxo!
I WILL marry Michael Cera one day. He rocks my worlddd.
those egg white pancakes look very interesting.. helloooo protein! do they taste super “eggy” or does the cocoa powder add to the flavor??
p.s. so bummed that your google reader hates me 🙁 technology sucks the big one.
love ya sweets! xo
i love that care package you scored, nice goin’ girl!
and the veggie dogs…no help to you, but i have to say, the detail on your camera is amazing as i could literally see the wrinkles in the “butt” end of the dog on the screen. Ok sorry to belabor the butt end of a dog 🙂
xoox
Must try those pumpkin spiced chickpeas–delish!! Same with those egg white pancakes! Too bad I just got back to school and am kitchen-deprived 🙁
The tofu salads sounds super yummy! Im going to try that tom…So do you like the shirtiaki noodles? The few times I tried they were rubbery and had no taste..

I have been meaning to make the tofu salad. Love the pumpkin chickpeas. I have only seen bits and parts of Jersey Shore, that good huh? Happy Sunday!
Delicious foods- I could have eaten everything- twice!
