Say ‘Ello To My Little Friend

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.

sept27 014

And some leek + potato soup leftovers.

sept27 015

And some dried out carrots + cukes.  Some pickles for craziness.

sept27 009

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.

sept27 043

With green sludge soup from a box - that Knorr “green” soup.  Captain Obvious came up with the name.

sept27 046

My lunch dessert tray was the best part of the day… err, of lunch.

sept27 050

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.

sept27 052

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.

sept27 053

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.

sept27 054

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.

sept27 060

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!

    That’s so funny, I went to bikram yoga this morning and ALSO decided to have eggs instead of oats :P 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.

    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

  5. 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!
