Small Town Healthy Living: Quick weekend

Yesterday morning we worked in the office for the first time in about a month. It always seems like the weekend flies by when we work.

Before I forget, here's a picture of Thursday night's wings and broccoli

I started Friday morning off with an old fav, cut up apples covered by strawberry Chobani and sunflower seeds.

Lunch was leftover chili

And after a busy day we just made some quick chicken fajitas for supper.

Whole grain tortilla, mixed greens, plain Chobani, cheese and somewhere under all that is chicken and veggies

Like I said, Saturday morning we worked in the office. My sister-in-law Katy and her son Beau came up so she could get an adjustment. For lunch we walked down to the Coffee Den, where I got a spicy chicken wrap with veggies on the side and a chai tea latte. I was so hungry, forgot to take a picture.

That night we decided to clean out our freezer and use up some fish that my dad gave us. I just dipped it in some egg and breaded it with a flour-like mixture that I have on hand for fish (also from Dad). For a side dish, I decided to use our new slicer and make potato "chips"- more like coins. Used baking potatoes and a sweet potato.

So apparently the blade on those things is sharp. I was just thinking in my head, "Gee, I better be careful and not get going too fast".

I spared you the blood shot and covered it with a bandaid

Whoops.

I was a little more careful after that.

For dessert I got out the ice cream maker again. This time I wanted to make a frozen yogurt, and use up some strawberries that had been sitting in the deep freeze forever. I looked at a couple recipes and here's what I came up with.

2 cups frozen strawberries

3 cups plain Chobani Greek yogurt

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla

I just threw it in a blender, then poured it into the ice cream maker. Since the yogurt was 0% fat, it was a little gummy, but tasted good. I think next time I will experiment with the sugar, and use some sort of substitute to make it even healthier.

Today started off with a light breakfast prepared by the hubby- 2 eggs and a piece of whole wheat toast with a small glass of OJ.

I pretty much just snacked the rest of the day. Hubby and I took turns going to the gym and then he had basketball most of the afternoon, so I never had any time to make the roasted chicken that I planned on making. It's hard to be productive when Tyler is attached to your hip. He's being really clingy lately, a big momma's boy. Makes me happy to know he loves me, but hard to do anything. I did manage to do laundry, dishes and some other little chores.

Speaking of the gym, I had an awesome workout today. Here's the rundown:

15 minutes run on the treadmill- 6.5

15 squats with barbell press

12 seated rows

12 pulldowns

10 lunges with lateral raise- each leg

12 straight-leg deadlifts

10 cable rhomboid pulls

Repeated all the strength moves

10 minutes ab and back strength

4 minutes Tabata on a spin bike- 20 sec all out, 10 sec rest

5 minutes stretching
