Bland Now, Bright Tomorrow

Just as I figured would happen, I fell asleep on the couch this afternoon while flipping through Shape.  It was a solid 20 minute slumber before screaming children outside woke me up.

Anyway, this afternoon I got some lunch prep taken care of.  I chopped up a couple peppers, red onion and steamed some brocc and threw it in a big container.

I cooked up a few servings of brown rice pasta too, with the idea that I’ll be eating pasta salads for lunch this week.

Looks pretty blah now… but I packed a salad for lunch tomorrow and it is one happy, bright looking lunch!  Yup, I’m excited.

I washed up all the produce I bought today too and did some melon-chopping.  Obviously, I snacked on quite a few hunks of cantaloupe + countless baby carrots + red grapes. 

I went on an ironing frenzy this afternoon too and after that, dug into fine cuisine: grocery store sushi.

Such a lovely supper can only be followed by my fave dessert: a big, fat, cold apple.  I was feeling particularly crazy today with the addition of almond butter.  Watch out.

After supper, I did an easy upper body strength routine with free weights at home.  I had thought about going to the gym but I woke up this morning with a weird pulling in my left leg.  I must have done something on my bike ride yesterday.  Anyway, it feels much better now and the mini workout at home stretched me out pretty well.

Time to write a Monday Musings for tomorrow for bed!  It was a restful weekend… just what I needed.  I do enjoy Mondays though (especially when I have  a good lunch packed!) and I’m excited for a good week ahead.

And with that I say goodnight!

Oh, and one more thing… happy mother’s day!  Momma, you’re the best!  Love you muchly!  ;)
