Tuesday Ramblings

Hello and happy Tuesday people! Why do I feel like it rains every Tuesday? The weather was miserable today, tornado warnings and all! Thank god I started my day off with a good breakfast! Today I had egg whites with Nature's Promise organic waffles topped with almond butter and raspberries. I loved the waffles and surprisingly they didn't taste like cardboard. Not sure about you, but I could eat pancakes or waffles everyday.

On a complete random note, I follow emilynoel83 on instagram and saw she posted a pic showing how many lip products she has in her purse. Hmmm that got me thinking....how many products do I currently have?????

Obviously wayyyyy too many! What's wrong with me? I need to do a serious purging. This adds an extra 2 lbs to my purse I swear. What can I say, I like to have options...

Right now I'm cooking some somewhat healthy mac n' cheese right now made with butternut squash. It's a recipe I got from Cooking Light. Hope it's good!! Stay tuned for a recipe posting tomorrow!

P.S. Off day from the gym. :) I'll post my workout routine tomorrow!

How many lip glosses/lipsticks do you have in your purse now?

 

Monday Workout

Monday already?! How does this happen? I have been MIA lately, but I promise to make more time for posting this week. I wanted to share my Monday workout with you. Today was the dreaded leg workout.  Ugh that's the worst! I switched things up and did a circuit training routine.  Typically I don't do cardio on leg days.

What's your LEAST favorite muscle group to work out?

 

My New Obsession (Almond Butter)

It's Wednesday! Thank goodness this week is half over. I'm already thinking about the weekend...

Take a look at what I picked up from TJ's the other day. Trader Joe's is probably one of my favorite stores on the planet.  I don't know what it is about that place, but the people are SO friendly, the food is perfectly organized and I find that shopping at that store instantly boosts my mood! Everything I buy I end up loving.....which leads me into my next point. I FINALLY picked up a jar of almond butter and let me say I was not disappointed.

I'm probably behind the game on this one, but I never tried it before and I heard such great things. I love peanut butter so I knew I would like this just as much. It tastes pretty similar to PB, but has a more nuttier taste I guess. I will eat it on anything and everything I can...

Onto breakfast today. Breakfast is a really important meal for me. I actually love breakfast foods and don't understand how some people can completely skip it! Today's meal would not be complete without a helping of....you guessed it..almond butter. 

 

Egg whites, handful of strawberries and whole wheat toast with almond butter and ground flax seed on top. I could eat this everyday! I eat breakfast pretty early on weekdays, 6:30 to be exact. I like having something really substantial and filling so it keeps me full until it's time for my mid-morning snack around 10:30. 

Hope your Wednesday is going well. What do you guys like to eat for breakfast?
