Sundays are probably my favorite because it’s the only day Rob and I both have off from work. I get to sleep in, make a nice breakfast, and spend the day meandering the town with my two favorite boys! Today’s breakfast was a veggie omelet with some extra ripe strawberries I picked up yesterday from the market. I usually make omelets using the griddle (greatest invention ever!?), but today for the sake of minimizing dishes I’d have to clean I used a skillet. I’d say my omelet turned out pretty nicely, don’t you think?
My omelet consisted of two eggs (one egg and one egg white), spinach, broccoli, green onions, a little sprinkle of pepper jack cheese, and avocado slices. Rob’s not really into veggie omelets, so I made him scrambled eggs, hash browns, and toast served with a fruit medley.
I was stumped as to what to do for a workout today because I was (and still am) SO sore from yesterday. My forearms, biceps, and hamstrings are especially sore. The “Filthy Fifty” might not seem like much since it’s only one set of each exercise, but let’s remember that one set is 50 reps! It’s strange my forearms and biceps are sore, but I’m guessing the high number reps caused my primary muscles to fatigue and my body to resort to its secondary muscles. When I took LeRoy out to handle his business this morning, I saw my neighbor getting ready to go mountain biking, which almost inspired me to go for a ride, but I opted for a swim instead. I should mention that I’m miserably horrible at both biking and swimming! I ended up swimming 750 meters, which may sound far, but it’s not. I went around 10:30 am to make sure I didn’t have to wait for a lane and ended up only having to share the pool with one swimmer. This never happens! Also, this one swimmer happened to call me a “machine” when I finished (I’m totally not a machine in the pool…more like an uncoordinated fish out of water…or in this case, in the water! 😉 )
For whatever reason, swimming always makes me famished. So I feasted on one of my favorites, a chickpea salad.
It was a beautiful day outside today, and LeRoy definitely wanted to bask in some rays and take it all in.
We’ve been considering moving to a nearby city, so we decided to take a car ride over and check it out. LeRoy loves his car rides and loves going on adventures, so of course he came.
After walking around for an hour or so, we started to get pretty hungry, so we split an apple cinnamon muffin from a cute little coffee shop.
Tonight for dinner Rob grilled a sirloin steak and served it with noodles and a Cesar salad…his favorite. Typical man meal…right? (Or just typical Rob?)
Although it was deliciously mouth-watering, I was only able to eat half of the steak. Rob can eat meat every day-breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Maybe it’s man thing? After so many nights of meat, I need a break! I can only think of a few meatless dinners that Rob will eat without grimacing…lentil soup, black bean quesadillas (although he usually requests chicken in his), and pancakes (yes, I sometimes have to resort to making breakfast for dinner). I obviously need to come up with some more ideas for meatless meals, because I can’t keep making these same ones or we’ll tire of them. What are your favorite meatless meals?
