Meals eaten out of bowls are so much tastier than meals off of plates**.  It’s a good thing we have a lot of bowls in this house, because as you can tell from the photos below, I can dirty a lot of them in no time.

If you say “bowl” enough times, it starts to sound funny…

**Exception: Sushi and all holiday dinners.

I Eat

Man, I love my oats.  Why else would I take pictures of them?

That’s a lot of raspberries.  Guess why?  Yes, they were on sale at the grocery store!  Buying raspberries on sale is a lot like finding a great pair of jeans for cheap – you don’t need them, but life would be so much better if you had them.  So you buy them and reap the rewards: delicious berries on your oats or pants that make your legs look a mile long.  Both will brighten up a morning, indeed.

In the spirit of the Bowl, I ate dinner out of them the last three nights.

No, no tapeworms in my stir fry, just lots of bean sprouts along with tofu + red and yellow pepper + mushies + snow peas + diced toms and seasoned with lemon juice + basil + italian seasoning.  It was a different stir fry taste that I usually make, but it was still okay.

There’s brown rice under all those veggies.

More puppy-approved stir fry leftovers but with basmati rice underneath.  Leftovers always taste better than the real deal, eh?

And for the real Leftover Lover in me, I pulled out some old dairy-free, gluten free “mac n cheese” from the freezer.

Reheated with some almond milk + gf bread crumbs and it tasted just like I made it tonight.  But I didn’t, and that’s why it’s awesome.

So breakfasts have been good and suppers have been tasty and lunches haven’t been half bad – lots of tuna salad and surprise, surprise, stir fry.

I’ve been super snacky lately and I’m not sure what that’s all about, but it’s getting a bit annoying.  I think I’m wearing down the floor in a pathway from various rooms of the house straight to the cupboard and/or the fridge.  This too shall pass…

I Move

Monday – After walking to and from work, I was a bit pooped.  I skipped my gym workout in favour of weights at home.  I did about 40 minutes of various lower body strength training moves, including different leg lifts.  It was a good shake up to the usual exercises.

Tuesday – Hot and sweaty yoga time.  I’m really getting the hang of this whole Moksha yoga thing.  Dancer’s pose, you are mine!

Wednesday – I had a date with the treadmill.  After talking to my boss about how difficult it is to leave the office and walk across the street to work out when I’m tired after a full day of work, I sucked it up, stopped whining and just went there.  Even though I feel like I’m working out in a cave from Fraggle Rock, I don’t find it that hard to be motivated once I’m there.  It’s just the “getting there” part that’s tricky.

Guess what?!  Hump day is over, on to Thursday.
Anyone else excited about this?

Happy eating, moving… and simple, healthy living!
