Hey guys (if anyone still reads this bloggie), sorry for my horrendous time-management skills or, in other words, my lack of blogging.
Let's recap the past few days with some random eats shall we?
Random lunch: a crunchy carrot with ketchup, shredded slice of deli turkey over leftover cold steamed spinach, random piece of chicken, piece of white Chinese bakery bread (the "side" bread, which is the only part of the bread I'll eat - I generally don't eat white bread). I liked this lunch a lot because I'm a
snacker and I love
spinach :)
Cherry Chocolate Brownie Oats: made with a tablespoon of
Creme Brulee hot chocolate, cherries, and half of a crumbled
Cappuccino Brownie (baked for
Daddy's Day). It was good, but it could have been better if we had rolled oats instead of the quick cook kind.

Okay, so I don't know what this is. I mean,
I know what it is, but I don't know how to explain it so that you all would. Let me try.
The other day, my
Aunt M (she lives barely a minute's walk from us) brought us some veggies from her garden. We usually get spinach and other green veggies that have Chinese names but no American translations (that I can think of...) from her. This time she got us what we call
"Toi Gua." Picture a pale green vegetable that's a cross between a radish and an artichoke with no leaves. It's a root veggie that's larger than the size of my fist. I wanted to take a photo, but my
Aunt J, who was visiting, had chopped one of them up for the dish shown above and my Mom used the other in a stirfry with chicken for dinner.
Anyhow, the (
huge) batch of rice was cooked in the rice cooker and then mixed with the stirfried "Toi Gua" for a delectable lunch.
As for
today, I had half of an
Oatmeal Raisin Walnut Cliffie pre-run. My left eye has been bugging me lately (as have been my knees). Methinks it has something to do with the sun in the mornings and a lack of SPF because it's not the actual eyeball that hurts - just the eyelid. Feels like a sunburn to me. Ouch.
Anyway, post-run, I did abs and stretched. I was going to do an upper body workout, but I was feeling like I needed something in my tum. Did you know that
eating something within 40 to 60 minutes after a run/workout allows your body to recover faster?
So I made a little cup of
Blueberry Muffin Yogurt with fat free plain yogurt and some crumbled Wild Blueberry Muffin from
Souplantation.

Then I did a 15-minute resistance band upper body workout using the band I received from
Missy's giveaway. And then I had a half slice of
cheesecake. "Oh no you didn't!"
Oh yes I did.
No picture of the cheesecake, sorry. It actually wasn't all that great (my Mom bought it from a coworker who just got laid off...), but I ate it anyway. I'm not sure what's wrong with me, but I've just been caving in to my
sweet tooth lately. Something for me to work on, eh?
While we're on the subject of yogurt and muffins,
Plain yogurt with crumbled Banana Nut Crunch Muffin Top from Souplantation
Plain yogurt with Buttermilk Corn Muffin from Souplantation and almondsYou can probably tell I went to
Souplantation lately, huh?
And another
giveaway I stumbled on :)
Here
too! This one ends tonight, so hurry!
Have wonderful days!
