I’d like to introduce my new partner in crime.
His name is Snail. He has a bit of an attitude problem – I think that’s obvious in the picture. Nothing that eating a little sushi next to his tank won’t fix!
Okay, too far, sorry.
I haven’t had Snail for more than a few hours and he’s already on the blog. He’s already one-upped me. Guess I should get a photo up. Hmph.
I Eat
Enough about Snail, let’s talk eats. I did some sweaty yoga on Saturday morning and fuelled up with half a nan and came home for a real breakfast.
Aside: Is the opposite of Clean Eating, Dirty Eating? I imagine a magazine with that name wouldn’t go over too well. Did Tosca Reno coin that term? Too many questions for Sunday night.
Hot oats wasn’t going to work after hot yoga. Sometimes, eggs are even allowed at breakfast. And so is lots of fruit.
Lunch yesterday was some Laughing cow + lots of toppings sandwich.
And some leek + potato soup leftovers.
And some dried out carrots + cukes. Some pickles for craziness.
I snacked on some Grandma apple + pb.
I had a gigantor orange later in the day. This fruit was not only heavy, but was the size of a big baby’s head.
For supper I had Vietnamese take-out. It was awesome, pictures were hideous. Without natural light, my photos flop.
A billion other snacks were consumed.
On to Sunday! Breakfast was my love (no, not Snail).
With trail mix toppings! Wooo! It’s been awhile. The other stuff was getting so boring. Unfortunately, these oats were lacking nan AND almond milk.
I still happily ate every last speck.
Lunch was an eggy sandwich.
With green sludge soup from a box - that Knorr “green” soup. Captain Obvious came up with the name.
My lunch dessert tray was the best part of the day… err, of lunch.
I like to keep the labels on my food. That way, I don’t forget what I’m eating…
Ahem.
Watermelon + pineapple + dates.
And a big bowl of yogurt + granola.
This kept me pretty full – probably because this was a giant lunch. I love weekend lunches!
I also love sushi. Take note, Snail.
How funny is it to have a maple leaf on top of sushi take-out? I don’t need my sushi extra-Canadianized, but it looks kind of cool.
Sushi 88 makes the best sushi. In the city. Period.
In my lovely square box, a spicy salmon roll + white tiger roll, which is their shrimp tempura roll with more happiness on top.
Instant miso soup rounded out the square.
Because I felt like eating 26 pounds of fruit over the past two days wasn’t enough, I had more for dessert… watermelon + cantaloupe.
Kitchen closed.
I Move
So Saturday was some hot yogaing. I’m starting to like this new fitness find. I never stretch and am very inflexible so I find it challenging, but in a this-feels-good kind of way. The class was 75 minutes instead of the usual 90, which I liked, but it will be back to the full length class when I head back to the studio on Tuesday night.
Today was a gym day – nothing exciting. Some breezy cardio on the elliptical and lower body strength training.
20-Day Total Health Challenge
Well, it’s clear that weekends are a downfall for me when it comes to meeting goals. You too? It’s the no routine thing that gets me every time. Maybe that’s why I like Mondays.
Me and three other people on the planet. Are you one of them?
Hope you had an enjoyable, relaxing, rejuvenating weekend, wherever you are and whatever you did!
Adi

all your food photos look amazing! and snail is pretty cool too
i love that you named your fish snail. i used to have a beta named fish… watch out for the day i give birth to a child named baby!
and that trail mix on the oats is so pretty
That’s so funny, I went to bikram yoga this morning and ALSO decided to have eggs instead of oats
It definitely hit the spot!
Your little fish is adorable!!! And now I want sushi! Although to be honest I’ve been craving sushi since… the last time I ate sushi. Oh well.
i love snail!
We need to see a side profile of Snail. He looks like a tadpole. He would be quite offended knowing that you haven’t captured him in his true beauty.
hehe
Snail is so adorable! I love fishies!
I say eat all the summer fruit you can while it lasts. It won’t be too long before it’s gone til next summer!
