A Vegetable Filled Day
After many birthday indulgences and frequent dinners out, I decided to try to reign things back in on Sunday. Luckily, our kitchen was well stocked with groceries from Relay Foods so I was ready to get some fruit & veggies back into my life.
We were actually out pretty late on Saturday (late for us is like… midnight) so we slept in until almost 8 on Sunday morning. I got up and immediately made some coffee and grabbed some yogurt. I’m still on a Greek yogurt kick.
After breakfast and a relaxing morning of reading the New York Times, I munched on an apple before heading out the door to gymnastics. I knew lunch would be late so I wanted something to power me through!
Gym Quest has an adult tumbling class on Sundays and it’s always a fun time. It’s half workout/half girl time.
I had a fun time bouncing around on the trampoline but I wasn’t super hungry right when I got home. I drank a bunch of water and took a shower before eating lunch. I had leftovers from making Aloo Gobi on Saturday. I liked it, but I didn’t love the recipe so I need to do some more tweaking before I share it!
I walked on the treadmill for a bit (I’m still loving my treadmill desk!) and then Alex and I went to church. When we got back, I made this roasted vegetable & chickpea dish that I posted about on Monday!
After dinner, Alex and I took a long walk and ended up at one of my favorite places for dessert…
I can’t resist Sweet Frog! It was a nice way to end the weekend. I’m still trying to focus on lots of fresh fruits and vegetables this week and I’m loving all of the in season produce right now! I’m excited for fall weather, but you can’t beat the farmer’s market selection right now!
What’s your favorite kind of dessert?
I’m linking up with What I Ate Wednesday!
That froyo looks like the perfect amount of fruit and crunch! I haven’t had froyo in forever and now I’m wondering why….
My all time favorite dessert is probably brownies. But I also really love ice cream!
I am so envious of your gymnastics class. I need to find something like that around where I live ASAP.
I think I love everything that has to do with dessert! Ice cream, cake, cookies – you name it! Though I do have a deep love for cheesecake! 🙂 Do you use frozen blueberries on you youghurt?
You are amazing at gymnastics! I would be so scared to even try something like that but you rocked it!
And I have no idea what Aloo Gobi is but I’m assuming it’s Indian which is not easy to cook. I’ve tried so many times and it never turns out flavorful enough. I think the trick is making your own curry powder but who knows.
Indian food is so tricky! I’ve found a good Channa Masala recipe (It’s on EatLiveRun.com and it’s awesome!) but I can’t figure out Aloo Gobi!
It’s odd but trampolines scare me a little. Maybe I can blame the fact a friend once broke an ancle jumping on one of them? I think I prefer for my feet to stand on stable ground 😀 . Either way, I think it’s fun you’re doing gymnastics as one of your workouts.
For me, there’s no better dessert than ice cream. I finally gave in to the temptation and got an organic brand’s vegan Vanilla Blueberry Apple Pie flavour recently. It’s too good for words – and bad for my wallet.
Cannot wait for the aloo gobi recipe- Get the tweaking happening haha!
Ha you sound exactly like me with “staying up late”.
I think it’s so cool you go to gymnastics. I’d love to take some adult ballet classes, but considering I already pay for my gym and hot yoga I just can’t justify it. Dance classes are expensive!
I love Sweet Frog too. Seeing your picture made me realize I’ve only had it once all summer. I need to go at least once more before Labor Day!
Yeah, fitness classes like that add up fast! I’ve pretty much stopped doing barre, cycle, etc. Now it’s just gymnastics and whatever class they have for free at the gym at work! 🙂
I’m a cookie monster! But I also have loads of chocolate peanut butter for dessert these days.
I’d say you are doing a fabulous job getting in vegetables & fruit. I mean I do spy some raspberries in your frozen yogurt bowl & all 🙂
Favorite dessert will always be vanilla soft serve with rainbow sprinkles.
