Lean Bodies Health and Fitness

(One of the reasons I have this blog is to categorize my favorite healthy meals so if I’m at a loss I just hop on here and open up the category I’m looking for and, wala!  I have options!  So even though I’m doing a little food journaling stint I will still “feature” one recipe per day.  Just an fyi.)

Today the kids were still at Grandma’s so I got so sleep in until 8:30!  Wow, did it feel good.  Aubrey and I went for a 30 min walk/jog/run with moderate intervals.  After the workout I had this for breakfast:

 

It was so good!  I’ll call it a Mexican Breakfast Scramble.  I’ll feature this soon.  There were eggs, peppers, turkey sausage and kidney beans.  Holy Yummy.

I went back and forth about whether I should be productive or relax while the kids were gone.  I decided to relax.  So after Aubrey’s nap I laid on the couch for a while played with my new Blackberry.  I had to get a dataplan but I’m not sure if I’ll be keeping it so I played around with some different applications.  It was so nice to just be by myself and not constantly needed!!

Lunch was:

 

This lovely snack from yesterday plus some more peanut butter.  When I cut out breads and treats I turn to peanut butter.  But it’s homemade natural nut butter so it’s all good.

After lunch the kids came back and we headed to the pool for a few.  We had a ton of fun in the sun. 

After pool snack was some more tofu pudding.  This time it was chocolate peanut butter.  I think I like the chocolate banana better actually.

Sorry that the picture was taken after I had eaten most of it!  I am planning on making this pudding for dessert on sunday for the whole family!  So, I’m trying to perfect it so that it is even tasty for total anti tofu-ers.

Dinner was really good.  I basically just used up things I had on hand and it turned out fab!

I just browned some extra lean ground beef.  Then I added some Lime and Cilantro Rotel, kidney beans and peppers.  I stirred in 2 T. guacamole into this mixture and plopped it all on a salad!  It was so good!

For Brandon’s I did the same thing with the meat mixture but I put it on some rice and topped it with guacamole and big tomato slices.  He loved it!  The kids had kidney beans and rice.  The meat was pretty spicy.  That’s how I took my healthy meal and turned it into something the whole family would love!

For dessert I had a frozen fruit cup (only fruit, nothing added) with a little plain yogurt and some chopped walnuts.

 

I’m about to head off to workout number two for today.  It will be 20 minutes of something.  Not sure what.  I guess it depends on how hot it is.  We shall see.
