This blog documents my explorations of the little things in life that keep me happy, healthy and sane! Reoccuring themes include cooking, time with family and friends, exercise, and creative endeavors. Thanks for joining me!Hi Friends,
Successfully completed a Vegan Thursday. I remembered to make my latte with soy today 
Breakfast = 1/4 cup TJ instant irish oats, 1 cup water, 2 TB hemp protein powder, cinnamon, vanilla, 1TB ground flax, and 1/2 banana. Topped it off with 1tsp pb, 1/2 TB unsweetened coconut, and 1/3 cup blueberries.
Lunch = Spinach, carrots, cucs, red peppers, lightly sautéed broccoli, and a Sunshine Breakfast patty topped with humus.
Dinner = Micro steamed broccoli. Grilled eggplant rounds and spinach sandwich on a grilled Arnold Select Sandwich Thin. I warmed up some Classico Marina sauce and doctored it up with oregano and red pepper. The sammy was quite tasty but I kept thinking about how great it would be with some feta or mozzarella. I shall have to recreate for another, non-vegan day
Today I worked out at another gym that was close to the after school program. Friends, I have found my new favorite piece of fitness equipment, the Octane Pro 3700. Has anyone else tried this guy? It apparently has a longer stride which makes it closer to running. Quite frankly, it didn’t feel that much different from a regular elliptical but this have some really cool program features. Today I tried the X Mode which basically a minute of plain elliptical followed by a minute of randomly selected conditions chosen by the ol’ Octane. It was kind of fun. I wanted to see what it would next. I was a little crunched for time, otherwise I think I would have stayed on longer. What is our favorite piece of fitness equipment?
It is almost the weekend! yay!

YESSS!! This is the machine I always refer to as the “xRunner”!!! It is my FAVORITE x10000 and I am seriously looking into how I can get one to have at my house. Once I have a house. Looooove it!
Glad you had a good Thursday – and that salad looks yuuum!
I love that machine and only a few of the lifetimes have them!
Vegan Thursday sounds like fun! I’m a meat eater but I try to eat vegan meals once in awhile. Have you seen Eat Drink & Be Vegan…love that book!
