Hello, friends!
I hope you had an easy Friday and are enjoying your weekend!
My Friday was long and I wished I took it off rather than going to work. But hey, it is weekend now!
So on Friday I woke up at my usual 6:20 am, snoozed my alarm and got up at 6:30 am. Hey, it works for me and I know there are thousands of “snoozers” out there. 🙂
I wasn’t really feeling like making myself breakfast…I have to confess – those muffins and cupcakes in the fridge were seriously calling my name 🙂 But I resisted. Instead, I had some leftover hard boiled eggs (with some light mayo on top) and a hot dog sausage.
That was quick and delicious!
For lunch I had leftover pasta salad from the night before, and I would love to share the recipe for it with you today. It is EXTREMELY easy to make (and that is what I love about pasta salads). So here we go.
Ingredients
- 1 package pasta (I used Barilla Tri-Color Rotini)
- 1/2 cup black pitted olives
- 1/2 cup purple onion
- 1 cup fresh basil
- 3 oz hard salami
- 3 oz pastrami
- 1 tbsp capers
- 1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Salt & pepper
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package instructions, drain, let cool down.
- Dice and mix in the salad bowl: onion, fresh basil, olives (rings), salami and pastrami.
- Add capers to the mix.
- Mix olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a bowl until blended well.
- Add pasta and Feta cheese to the bowl.
- Pour oil and lemon juice mix over.
- Mix well.
On an unrelated subject:
My Gaiam Oregon Scientific sports watch has a feature of showing the total number of calories burnt. So I wasn’t resetting the counter ever since I got the watch in March. Here’s what I got so far:
This is not counting my yoga classes since I normally don’t have my watch on for those.
Rough calculations: 14 488 calories/500 cal per spin class = 29 spin classes! That’s about 2 spin classes a week since March!
Also, another badge earned on Lose it!
This one I got for being in the top 3 finishers of 3 challenges.
