Knock Wood

We seem to have kicked the insomnia around here!! Both FH and I had decent, solid sleeps last night.  Yay!  You have no idea how exciting this is.

Last night I put together a second variation of a breakfast cookie.  This one was a little drier and not very sticky so I was worried it wouldn’t hold together, but it totally did!

• 1/3 cup whole oats
• 1 tbsp White Chocolate Wonderful PB
• 2 tsp flax meal
• 1 tbsp semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze

This morning I topped it with some nice, thick, tangy plain yogurt mixed with a drizzle of local honey and 1/2 of a banana…

Hit.the.spot.  2 for 2 on the breakfast cookie adventure!

With coffee…

This mug is fun to photograph because I can adjust which bean the focus is on!

Another successful gym trip early this morning.  As much as I hate getting out of our warm, cozy bed to drive FH to work…I LOVE the routine it creates for my workouts.

• 20 minute treadmill run, 2.5 km
• Lower body strength training:  2 x 15:  squats and plie squats with 5lb ball, single leg squats (each side), single leg reach (each side), lunges with 10 lb bar (each leg)
• PLUS: 2 x 30 sec wall sit and, 1 full set of Eurydice’s bum exercises.

On the way to the gym I snacked on half of this Clif bar.  New flavor to me!  Peanut Toffee Buzzzzzz.  nom nom.

After much tweeting about #waterlogged and sipping back about a litre or so myself, it was time for lunch!  Remember the Apple, Walnut, Brie Quesadilla?  Well, I did and couldn’t wait to make it again!!

Now I must get back to work so I can head off to The Running Room soon and pick up my new running shoes!  Oh please fit.  My knees will thank you!
