Spinning, Summer Vegetable Salad Recipe and More
Hello, friends!
I had an absolutely wonderful spinning class on Monday night! I am still taking it easy, but what I noticed is that even if you’re trying to take it easy, your legs are still as strong as they are and go at their own pace. No matter how hard I try to make it easier, my legs have their own comfort zone they stay in/go out of. And it is a wonderful feeling to realize that your mind-set comfort zone is different from your actual physical comfort zone! So here’s the recap of Monday night’s spinning adventure:Continue Reading

Weekend Recap – Lots of Good Food, Spinning+Yoga, and Seafood Pasta Recipe
Good Monday afternoon, friends (I hope it is good for you)!
I have had a wonderful weekend with my husband (no kids this weekend) – a lot of pool and sun time, good food and exercise.
It feels so good to be back to my routine! My leg is almost completely healed, so I did my Saturday double this weekend! I tried to take it easy (especially in my spinning class), but somehow I still managed to burn my usual calories and do the usual distance almost during that one. Must be because it was Robin’s class and she ROCKS!Continue Reading

Breakfast scramble, grilled scallops and veggie kebabs, and grilled rainbow trout
Hello, friends! I hope you are having a wonderful Thursday.
Yesterday morning I woke up with the thought that I should try something new for breakfast (was getting tired of my usual fruit salad).
Since it was still early and I had time, I quickly pulled up a recipe in my memory that I’d found earlier and made this wonderful Breakfast Scramble:Continue Reading

Baked Salmon Recipe and a Great Orzo Salad Recipe Find
Hello, friends and happy Friday!
This is a food and food only post – the week was pretty uneventful in terms of exercising as I had a couple appointments in the evenings which conflicted with my gym schedule.
It is miserably rainy and gray outside – so no fun activities and outings….What do you do on a day like this? EAT! Just make sure you eat healthy 🙂 So here comes the healthy food post.Continue Reading

Lean Ground Turkey Pasta Recipe, Breakfast and Lunch Ideas
Hello, my friends!
It’s been a busy couple days here…
Breakfast yesterday morning had to be quick and easy to make since Carmen took a while to wake up and get dressed, and I was running out of time. So I threw together one of my favorites – fruit sandwich on a light English muffin:Continue Reading

Saturday: fruit salad+vitamin water+”A-las-Greek” salad recipes
Happy weekend, friends!
It is a windy but gorgeous day here in PA. Still way too cold for going swimming!
Saturday morning I woke up bright and early (Me? Bright and early? I know, right.) and went for my spinning class with Gretchen. I have told you already that Gretchen is a great instructor! It was a very good workout, I “rode” a good number of miles and burnt some serious calories in her class. It was sad though because it was her last class here at the Y and I am really going to miss her.Continue Reading

Healthy breakfast, Salad Recipe and more
Good afternoon, friends!
Sad news here – looks like I have pulled my hamstring while running/doing yoga on Sunday. It is swollen and it hurts when I walk. Not too bad, but I am taking it easy on the exercise this week – had to cancel my spinning class yesterday and on Wednesday. I hope it gets better by Saturday so I could take Gretchen’s spinning class even if I have to just take it easy. Her class is a lot of fun and besides, she is moving back to Georgia beginning of June, so this is my last chance to take her class.
But of course I will take care of myself and I will not go if it doesn’t heal until Saturday.
On a brighter side – healthy dinner side last night. The salad’s official name is “What’s in Your Fridge?” Simply because it contains everything I could find in mine:Continue Reading
