Top of the mornin' to ya!

What gets you up in the morning? 90% of the time it's my growling stomach , but the other 10% of the time, it's snooze city. Lately however, with the purchase (well gift, thanks mama!) of Sir Keurig, waking up is quite a bit easier.

Frothy, quick, and just as delicious every time. You can count on it
*And (!!!) they now sell great brands like my favorite, Caribou Coffee!
Yes that's an espresso/coffee machine on the right. I sometimes use it on weekends when I have more time, but lately I'm obsessed with the guy on the left.


And your favorite mug makes all the difference..

This one screams "Wake up and get your day started, woman!"


Breakfast this morning also helped me get going...

Mango-Coconut overnight oats: 1/3 cup oats, 3/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup coconut kefir, 1 tbsp unsweetened red. fat coconut, 1 cup frozen mango, stevia. So filling, so tropical.


The day was pretty uneventful. I did the study thing and the workout thing. As I previously mentioned I've been splitting my workouts in two, to give myself more mental breaks from studying throughout the day.

Workout #1: Jog to gym (1 mi) + 45 min spinning class. Spinning was great. <3

Lunch followed shortly after, and I wanted PROTEIN. Problem was, I was lazy. So veggie burger(s) it was..

2 Morningstar Black Bean Burgers
*Tip: Microwave to defrost then toast 'em. So much better!


Burgs served with tomato, chipolte salsa, chopped onion, cilantro on toasted whole grain

Easy peesy and satisfying.

More and more and more studying...interrupted with playing with the pup, I headed back to the gym for Workout #2: Weights. I was feeling a little spastic to be lifting on my own so I took a Total Body Lifting class. It did the trick and went home to tackle some more thesis work.

For dinner, Kels (sister) and I ordered Organic Chinese Food. Yes, you heard me right - Organic Chinese! And it was delivery!

Steamed scallop, shrimp, veggies w/ a light white sauce on side

(We also spilt edamame and a salmon/avocado roll)

And to top off the night? I'm sipping some Bogle Cabernet Sauvignon and watching Extreme Movie. See it? It's kinda funny. Think Superbad humor ;)

G'night peeps. Have a wonderful Thursday! And those of you attending the Healthy Living Summit - have a blast!!!

XX,

Lauren

Question: Do you order delivery/take-out? Which do you order most often?

  1. Love your blog! I’m a long time lurker and a first time poster. I stumbled across you on the Eat Clean forum. You’ve opened me up to a whole new world of food/healthy bloggers!

    I have a Keurig and absolutely love, love, love it! I don’t know what I would do without mine. However, I may have to add one of those espresso machines you have to my coffee arsenal!

  3. Wow, I had Chinese last night too! It wasn't organic, tho :(. Coconut soup for the first time ever and tuna tataki. YUM!

  4. My husband has a Keurig machine at work, and has been trying to talk me into getting one, too! And I'm so jealous of your espresso machine!!

    If I eat takeout, it's usually just from a restaurant that we'd normally sit down at, but it's pretty rare for me-- once I'm home, I usually just prefer to make my own meals! (I find it therapeutic to cook, and I'm kinda cheap ;) ) My husband, though, LOVES his Chinese food, and will definitely order delivery! Wish I could find him an ORGANIC place, too!

  5. I know this is an old post, but I'm wondering how steamed scallop is? I've always wanted to try it but I'm afraid of it becoming rubbery...
