We went to bed early last night figuring with 8 hours of sleep we’d be ready and raring to go to the 6AM spin class this morning. I even woke up at 5:15 and got out of bed, but much to Isaac’s dismay delight my legs were feeling way too sore for such a intense workout. Note to self: do not do boot camp the night before a 6AM spin class.
It was more of a core strengthening/ yoga stretching kind of morning. Followed by this gem:
I knew I would be helping a co-worker prepare for a Baby Shower during lunch so I packed a frozen meal to eat at my desk. (-1 for the March Madness Challenge)
The ingredient list is short, it only has 260 calories, and the veggies are quite tasty. However, vegetable lasagna is something you could easily make at home and freeze for a fraction of the cost.
Overall this meal is pretty tasty for a frozen dish, but I still like the Mayan Harvest Bake more.
Isaac and I made it to the gym after work. I wasn’t trying to do anything crazy so I walked on the treadmill and did a little stair climbing while reading The Help
We came home. Isaac had pizza and I whipped up a quick dinner – an omelet.
Although, it wasn’t just any omelet. This guy had 2 local eggs (given to us from one of Isaac’s students), spinach, sauteed onions, red pepper, mushrooms, nutritional yeast (for some cheesiness) and hummus.
Topped with salsa.
I also ate the last of my homemade yogurt. I need to make more already.
I have something interesting to share with you guys soon – it’s not going to be your typical EBF post but I have to post it. I’d feel bad if I didn’t share the news and others were having a similar problem.
Lastly, it’s almost the weekend – who’s excited?!?

I love having something good to read/watch while working out – the time flies!
Love the pumpkin pie smoothie! So pretty!
Look forward to your news!
Mmmm I miss pumpkin smoothies. And I actually like that Kashi meal. Even though it would be easy to make at home. The Mayan Bake is WAY better. So sweet, spicy and perfect!
Where are you finding canned pumpkin? I can’t find it anywhere!
Interested in hearing your news!
Confession? I hate spin! Can’t get into it, no matter how hard I try.
Can’t wait to hear your news!
Sign me up for the “excited for the weekend” club! What a great omelette – I’m omelette challenged in that I ALWAYS end up with scrambled eggs. Oh well, tasty either way! Happy Friday
Spinning is quite intense, so it sounds like you made a wise decision by opting for a more low-key form of exercise. For some reason, I just can’t focus on a book when I’m on a piece of exercise equipment. However, I have no trouble reading the closed captioning on the TV. Ha.
That omelette looks gorgeous! Nothing like farm-fresh eggs…or breakfast-dinners for that matter.
Oh! I think it’s going to be omelets for dinner tonight! Yours looks so good. Breakfast for dinner is one of my favorite things and you’ve totally inspired me!
That smoothie never fails to make my mouth water!
just started reading this past month and really enjoy your blog!! the new camera is quite fantastic! looking forward to your news!! and am excited for the weekend as well!
I hope your news is happy news and not something absolutely dreadful!
I almost always read on the treadmill as I am not much of a jogger. It often feels like a paragraph or so later I am done with my work out AND I got some reading out of it. I am finished feeling rather productive most mornings.
Have a good weekend!
I thought that the Veggie Bake was so-so, and I definitely agree that the Mayan Bake is where it’s at! That’s probably one of the only frozen dinners I’d buy simply because it’s so delicious!
That lasagna looked amazing, considering it´s a frozen meal!
And I totally get what you´re feeling – I feel so sore from the weight lifting, too…
Have an amazing weekend, Brittany!
Yuuuum that omelet looks amazing! Sauteed mushrooms or onions may be one of my favorite things, ever.
Sorry about the whole spin sitch, but it sounds like you worked yourself hard the night before so i definitely think you made the right choice in doing some yoga instead
love the pumpkin pie in the class! so cute!!!
Kashi’s meals are great…….but in the end i find that freezer food is freezer food. Better to just grit the teeth and put a little elbow grease to make a cheaper meal that is still healthy and gives lots of leftovers!!
i HAVE been craving lasagna tho!
though* wow TEXT MESSAGING. what have you done to me!!!
