For some reason I’ve been craving a smoothie (maybe it’s all the talk about Green Monsters on the blogs lately!) so for my afternoon snack I got out the blender. Into the mix went 1/2 banana, about 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, 1 tsp ground flax, and 1 cup light vanilla soy milk. I guess this is a Purple Monster!
Since this was my pre-workout snack I included a Kashi granola bar too.
At the gym:
Elliptical: 20 mins cross-country, variable intensity + 5 min cooldown in reverse
Legs: 2 sets of 15
- squats with 15lb bar
- stationary lunges with 2 x 8lb dumbbell (each leg)
- hamstring curls on the ball
Abs:
- 30 x regular crunches
- 30 x bicycle crunches
- 2 x 30 second plank
- 2 x 30 second side plank (1 each side)
When I got home I was soooo ready for dinner. Fiddleheads!
Cooked them up simply by sauteing with a bit of butter, EVOO, salt & pepper and sliced mushrooms. Served alongside a maple BBQ salmon filet that I baked in the oven and a small potato I cooked up in the microwave.
American Idol:
My American readers…please vote for Adam Lambert!!
I snacked on some Kashi crackers straight from the box while I sat on the edge of my seat watching the final performances. Although I don’t think this was Adam’s best night I do think his second performance was stellar and he sings circles around Kris. Kris is a cutey but he doesn’t have the star power or the talent that Adam has. It’s a fact people!! Vote Vote Vote!

I love fiddleheads so much!
WHERE do you get fiddleheads!?!?!?
I have never had fiddleheads! I saw some at the grocery store yesterday, and almost bought some - but they didn't look all that fresh. I don't want my first fiddlehead experience to be spoiled!
Lainey: Superstore!
Ok, seriously... what the HECK is a fiddlehead?! It looks like a skinny green shrimp!!! LOL! Are they good? What do they taste like?
i love fiddleheads, they are all the rage this time of year. i also like that you made a tasty sounding smoothie ... people on the blogs are adding the weirdest crap lately.
