All in a days work

Whelp, this is gonna be a quick one, because I am EXHAUSTED! I hope you all had a wonderful day!

Mine started with a gigantic protein pancake:

1/3 cup egg whites, 1 scoop vanilla whey protein, 1 tbsp spelt flour, pinch baking soda, 1 banana (half smashed, half diced), 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp apple pie spice, stevia, dash sea salt. Topped with 1/4 cup microwaved blueberries and 1 tbsp organic maple syrup.

Please try this <3


After digesting, caffeinating, and catching up on the news I did the 45 min TurboFire workout (Fire 45) and ended up looking like this:



No lie, these workouts are FANTASTIC.

I had several Strawberry Lemonades to refuel:

Ice H20 + lemon juice + stevia + frozen strawberries

And reheated the leftover chicken parmesean and got back to work on the thesis train.

For a snack I was craving something tropical. I could have happily made a pina colada but that might have not been the best choice for a writing mind. Instead I made a Tropical Yogurt Mess and called it a day:

FF Greek Yogurt, frozen pineapple, unsweetened coconut, stevia


After more and more work and a long walk with the pup, I decided to make some Magic Soup since I haven't had it in sooooo long. And a BONUS of magic SOUP in the SUMMER???? It tastes FANTASTIC eaten chilled.


Roasted Red Pepper soup, shrimp, spinach, kidney beans, sugar snap peas, edamame, carrots + red chili powder, cumin, pepper, dash sea salt


Dear Magic Soup,
I have missed you.


The Manfriend was home early tonight so after an early dinner we relaxed on the deck and enjoyed a new bottle of Shriaz:



<3

Have a great night and fantastic Thursday!

QUESTION:
What's your favorite wine?
Do you ever make soup in the summer?

  1. I think I am starting to crave Turbofire more than sushi and that says a lot. Those two things are probably the biggest things I look forward to for after pregnancy. Well, the baby too. Yea. The baby.

  2. Another Turbo Fire-er! I love those workouts and I too am drenched with sweat afterward. During the stretching part I can barely grip my legs because they are so slippery. Gross I know but it feels so good!

    I don't drink much wine, but I drink more white than red. I love soup/sandwiches for meals, so I definitely make soup in the summer!

  4. So glad you stopped by my blog and said "hi!" :D

    My favorite wine is Shiraz (any brand is usually fine with me!), but I'm such a light-weight I can only drink it on special occasions!

    TurboFire looks like an AWESOME workout! I love workouts that make me sweat like that!

    As far as soup goes, I haven't made any this summer... but mostly because my apartment is too hot to use our stove or oven! I'd happily eat soup if someone else made it for me!

  6. I love when I end up looking like that after a workout. It just feels so gooooood to sweat everything out.

    Love your magic soup; I need to make some, but I haven't really wanted much hot stuff lately! Hehe.

  10. Dang girl, that workout looks tough!! I love leaving a workout all sweaty and feeling like I accomplished something though. Favorite wine is rose, though I rarely order it! Hope you have a great day love!!
