A Relaxing Evening In

This afternoon has been very relaxing.  I did a 45 minute Hatha yoga session using Yogadownload.com and afterwards a 10 minute ab work out.  Hatha yoga ALWAYS relaxes me, I love holding the poses and really stretching out my body.  I probably should have done the ab work out before and then stretched it out but oh well! 😉

After my yoga session I nibbled on half a banana with almond butter.

I was so excited to open up a new jar of MaraNatha almond butter!

This is my favourite one, despite my previous incident with the crunchy version I just couldn’t resist!! mmmmm nom nom nom!

Earlier in the day Robbie had prepared some burgers for us.  He grilled them on the BBQ and we sat on our roof enjoying them.  They were ENORMOUS but we both managed to finish them.

With ketchup..

I couldn’t quite eat all the bread but did a good job trying.

I’d made a salad to go with the burgers using; spinach, broccoli, grated carrot, celery and a homemade dressing using the usual suspects – extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, 1/2 tsp dijon mustard, sml garlic clove and 1/2 tsp of Agave.

Washed down with a delicious glass of white wine.

I’m feeling nicely full right now and going to join my husband on the sofa to watch a movie called ‘Taking Chance’ starring Kevin Bacon.  I have no idea what it is about but will give you a review tomorrow morning.

Enjoy the rest of your evening.

Reminiscing

I arrived home from to discover my wonderful husband had done all the house work in the apartment!!  I’m a lucky girl!  On my way home I bought some flowers which were the finishing touch to the tidy apartment.

Hydrangea’s are my 2nd favourite flower – 2nd to Sweet Peas which were what my wedding bouquet were made out of.  Unfortunately I haven’t seen many Sweet Peas but these look very much like them.  Beautiful!  There were stunning purple Hydrangea’s all over Chatham in Cape Cod where we were last weekend!  Wish I had taken a photo!!

I digress!  For lunch I made Rob and I sandwiches…

• hummus
• turkey
• spinach
• tomato
• a little red onion

All on a whole wheat baguette.

I couldn’t resist a little nibble on this bad boy for dessert!

Must dash, we have to get to the shops and back in the next 45 minutes!

I’m going to do an hour of yoga at some point this afternoon – day 2 of the yoga challenge!

Typical Saturday Morning

I didn’t end up eating much last night as I just wasn’t feeling hungry.  I nibbled on a few carrots with hummus as I felt like I should eat something… especially as we were going out to meet some friends.

We headed out just after 10pm… both Rob and I could have quite easily just fallen asleep on the sofa but we wanted to bid farewell to a friend, Dennis.  He is moving to the UK today for 2 years!

I sipped on a couple of Corona’s while we were out.

We only stayed for a couple of hours and were tucked up in bed by 1am!  Everyone goes out so much later in NY.

I woke up this morning at 7.25 just before my alarm went off (strange how that happens) and tip toed around the bedroom getting ready for work.  I didn’t want to disturb Robbie.. although I think Tinker meowing and scratching at the door woke him anyway!

Breakfast was a delicious bowl of Oikos greek yogurt, granola and blueberries.

We have a huge Fresh Direct delivery coming between 11am and 1pm so our fridge will be full when I get home from work! YAY!

Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend so far!

See ya later.
