Week 12

Happy to say I managed to use up the CSA veggies.  Chopped them up into a big salad and mixed with garbanzo beans, a little olive oil and feta cheese.  Brought it to work for a going away party we had for a coworker.  Have to say I was expecting to take the salad home with all the treats out.  But it went Fast!

 I find myself in a similar predicament today.  While I have used quite a bit of my veggies from last weeks harvest.  I need to use them up today.

I decided to cook them up and make a few veggie burritos.  Ate one for breakfast this morning and put another in the fridge to have later.  It actually ended up tasting much better than I expected.  

Now to attempt to roll this thing!  Plate full of veggies... great way to start the day.

This here was my unknown from the CSA bounty.  Turns out it is called a kohlrabi.  I had never seen one before.  I ended up just chopping it up and cooking it up with other veggies.  Love that I am using vegetables I never would have before.

I did make it to the gym twice this past week although didn't take a class.  I also met Diana in the morning for a walk and went on a nice walk with another friend.  It's really time to start stepping up my game.  

Week 11

I have been on a stretch at work now.  I find it difficult when I work the weekend prior to writing these posts on Monday.  It makes me feel like I haven't done anything positive in the week.  Which in reality isn't true.  It is just that with working 12hr overnight shifts it is difficult to find time to do anything on those days.  That being said, it is always possible to step up my game.  And I plan to do so this week.

Diana and I did make it out for a couple of early morning walks.  Man, that humidity can be real a bitch.  What a difference it makes even at 530 in the moring.  Honestly, may be a positive thing that I don't have a bod right now that I am wanting to show to the world.  Definitely have been tempted to strip out of my clothes more than once and jump into the nearest body of water.  

Here is this weeks bounty from the CSA.  I have worked every single night since we picked it up and have barely touched it.  Crap the next one is in a few days.  Will definitely have to be more cognizant. 

I did not meet either goal I set for last week so I am going to make them my goals again.

Week 10

Oops realized I forgot to post this yesterday.  The high light of this past week is getting my first CSA share.  We are splitting the share 3 ways.  This is just 1/3 of half a share.  Crazy!!!

 I managed pretty well with the task of eating all these veggies.  New batch of vegetables on Wednesday.  Currently I only have the cauliflower left.

Here is a picture of one of the salads I made.  Amazing how tastey a salad is with fresh produce.  Also sauteed and mixed with egg for breakfast.  But, honestly the heat right now is making it hard to turn the stove/oven on.  Having these vegetables is definitely making me conscientious about them and am definitely getting my greens.

The exercise piece was a total fail this week.  I'm going to make sure I start incorportating it back into my life.  Need to start toning up and getting back into shape

Goals this week.  

1.  Get back to tracking 100% on myfitnesspal

2.  Exercise!! take at least one class at the gym and exercise at least 3 times

Week 9

Damn the women Dominated!!! yesterday against Japan.  The amount of time they spend conditioning, preparing, training for each game.  I can't imagine having such focus and passion to spend so much time on one thing.  But, to even just find a fraction of the motivation.  Spend a fraction of the time I'm positive would be beneficial.

As I thought getting to the gym this past week was difficult.  With the way my work schedule lined up and the holiday I did not get to any classes.  But, I did do a lot of walking around the city.  There is an art installation project down by the greenway that we wandered over to see.  No, not exactly a heart pounding, sweat dripping workout, but better than other options that could be done with my free time

Difficult to get a picture, but it changes colors

This week I had fourth of July and a friends birthday celebrations.  Which  meant two days that I ate meals that were not the best option.  Overall thought the eating was not horrific.  I opted for veggie and lean meat options

And even agreed to sign up for a CSA share with a friend.  

Excited about this new healthy option in my neighborhood.  Fruit juices, variety of salads, a way to go out, be social, but still be healthy

My goals this week: No ordering in at work, at least one lean protein a day, 2 servings of veggies a day,
