Happy Wednesday all! Thanks for all the nice comments/suggestions on my last post for things The Husband can and for all the ideas for how to freeze herbs. I am definitely going to give all of the above a try.
This morning’s pre-workout/train ride snack ~ a banana and coconut coffee.
When I got in, I hopped on the treadmill for a pretty good C25K jog/walk. I played a few “Treadmill Games” each time I wanted to stop….changing the speed up every 30 seconds so that I focused on the seconds to the next level, not how far the distance was that I needed to go.
I couldn’t wait to dig into breakfast post workout!
3 more Blueberry Kodiak Cakes with 1 tsp Whipped Butter and 1 Tbsp Maple Syrup (7 points+)
Morning Star Veggie Sausage drizzled in the maple syrup (2 points+) I am so hooked on this combination ~ It totally hits the spot ~ salty, sweet, doughy, buttery ~ GOOD!
It didn’t quite hold me over as long as yesterday, but, I think it’s more because I knew I had a big container of watermelon, cantaloupe and pineapple waiting for me.
Plus a Mini Babybel Cheese (1 points+)
Lunch involved my favorite salad…..it’s sweet, crunchy, peanutty, good.
* Organic Mixed Greens plus carrots & a few cherry tomatoes
* 1 Tbsp each ~ dry roasted walnuts & dried cranberries (2 points+)
* 1 Tbsp Trader Joe’s LF Spicy Peanut Vinaigrette (1 points+)
I doubled the egg salad that I made up for The Husband this morning and made up a sandwich that I think I NEED to repeat again too lol!
* 2 slices Trader Joe’s FF Multi-Grain Bread (3 points+)
* 1 Hardboiled egg plus 1 hard boiled egg white (2 points+)
* 1 Tbsp RF Mayo & 1 tsp mustard (1 points+)
* Sea Salt and Black Pepper to taste
Since The Husband still isn’t eating too many things, I decided to go with what I knew he would eat ~ Annie’s Mac n Cheese!
Ok ~ well, it’s Annie’s Mac but with the Arthur Shaped Pasta….(7 points+)
It has been nice to have leftovers since I have sort of been on a I don’t feel like cooking mood lately (notice? lol).
I will get back in the kitchen cooking soon ~ once I have a chance to breath and get caught up. There is just too much going on lately and not enough me.
I think I am pretty much over the ribs now. I took a picture of it whole, then, cut off 1 oz to eat (2 points+)
I am pretty sure I will have eaten an entire watermelon all by myself by the time the week is over….I honestly think it’s my favorite summer fruit!

Q’s
What is your favorite summer fruit?
I think by the time summer rolls around, I am glad to have ANY fruit other than apples, pears and oranges. However, it really depends on what just tastes really good each summer. I find it varies ~ THIS SUMMER ITS WATERMELON, but, I also have 10 different types of fruit in our fridge at the moment LOL.
Night all!
Hmm I may just have to go buy some Annie’s mac! It looks delicious and I love the shapes! I’ve been in a none cooking funk as well, but mac and cheese sounds doable. ^_^
My favorite summer fruits are plums, peaches, nectarines, and pineapple! I’m really not a huge watermelon fan because it tends to get mushy on me before I can eat all of it!
Hope the husband is on the mend!
Without a doubt, watermelon! I can eat 2 of the ‘personal’ ones a day, thank goodness for Costco!
Blueberries!! I’ve eaten 5 pounds in 2 weeks almost all by myself. Love, love them.
Nectarines and pineapple are my favourites! But I love all fruits really!
Tell Jay I hope he feels better soon, poor guy!
I love strawberries in the summer time!
Watermelon in the BEST summer fruit. Hands down.
Also I have a huge love for starbucks mugs. The perfect tea containers.
Yummy watermelon….i sprinkle a little bit of salt!
toss up almost between strawberries and watermelon but having to choose it would be watermelon 🙂
Watermelon, Watermelon, Watermelon, Love it!!!!!!!
All the summer freshed picked berries: strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and blueberries. But have to admit your water melon always looks good. Any good recipes for low cal slushes when its REAL hot. Keep Kool!
O man, I had the best sweet juicy peaches. I love fruit now that I been doing WW.
o man i had the best sweet juicy peaches ever. i love fruit now that I am on WW.
Still waiting here for the really good summer peaches. In the meantime, the watermelon has been fantastic . . . practically finished off half of a large seedless one all by myself! So nice to just go to the fridge for a sweet juicy fruit treat!
I just had to see the word Fruit and my mouth started watering. I’m in Vegas now and I havent had any fruit( except a banana). I love stone fruits and berries and melon and cherries. Summer fruit is awesome, especially in California. I cant wait to get back and go to the Farmer’s Market on Sunday.
Hope Jay keeps mending quickly!!! 🙂 My favorite summer fruits are blueberries and raspberries! Oh wait…peaches. No, maybe apricots! But cherries are so good too! 🙂 I like ’em all. Have a great day Danica.
I am loving all the summer fruit – but its kind of a love/hate relationship – I love it, but I have to take insulin to eat it – but shooting myself up is worth watermelon!
Off for my lunch time bike ride – have a great day!
How do you heat up your Morning Star sausage patties? I love the links! Have you tried them? I wrap them in a paper towel and microwave for about a minute. My old microwave was a minute, this new one is 44 seconds. It has two temperatures, off and nuked to death.
Strawberries!! I about eat a container a day by myself at one meal. My brother can eat a whole watermelon!! Oh, and once he ate a whole pineapple, which hurt his stomach from all the acid. Fruit= happy tummies. 🙂
Love watermelon and any berry that is in season.
I vote for blackberries! I can eat them by the pound!
