Happy Friday!!
The weekend is finally here, and boy was I glad for a day off!
Of course I didn't lay around all day, as much as I would have liked to!
I started out with a healthy green breakfast...
Ok, not so green. But it had lots of greens in it! Spinach, banana, frozen and fresh berries and nonfat soy milk- the perfect start to my day =)
I needed to get some exercise in, but my legs were still very much sore from a couple days ago!
So, I decided (as I posted on my new Twitter account...) to do some walking, and some yoga for a mix of cardio, strength and stretching.
Worked like a charm! My legs aren't perfect, but my back is much better, the 20 minutes of speed walking and the 20 minutes of Yoga Downloads were perfect.
After yoga I had a small snack to hold me until lunch:
Raincoast crisps and TJ's organic PB! Yum!
I ran a couple errands, grabbed some groceries and headed back home for a FABULOUS mexi-inspired lunch!
This was one of the greatest Mexi-salads I have ever eaten! I took the hint from miss Gina and Jenna, and combined spicy with savory for a delicious healthy salad!
Spring greens, black beans, sweet corn, reduced fat mexi cheese, salsa and home made guac (avocado, tomato, onion, lime, cumin, garlic, tabasco, s&p), fresh cilantro and carrots on the side.
For a snack, I had a juicy nectarine.
Dinner was by far the best meal of the day though!
Burgers and fries!
Can you say yum?!?!
I made the classic American fast food favorite healthy, by using lean turkey with mynew favorite recipe by the amazing ZestyCook, and topped my burger with a slice of soy cheese, some caramelized onions and a big hunk of tomato. We had sweet potato fries on the side for a healthy baked fry treat!
For the sweet potatoe fries, I tossed sliced sweet potatoes with EVOO, sea salt, pepper and garlic powder in a baggie and baked for 30 minutes at 425, turning every 10 minutes or so.
I had a few more sweet potatoes, and some leftover tomato slices!
Tonight I am staying in; again! I'm not completely anti-social, I promise! I've just been busy and so have my friends! Plus, I enjoy my movie nights with my mom =)
Tonight we're watching a movie On Demand and having our healthy dessert treat- Stonyfield Organic yogurts!
Have a great Friday all!
