WIAW # 1: My Day

My first WIAW from Jenn at Peas & Crayons. 

Woke up at seven-ish and made this mess...waited for my mom to get home from work and took a nice long walk with her and the dogs, although Kezo was being abnormally slow. 

4oz chobani oranges and cream greek yogurt,  half a banana,
chia seeds, wheat germ, raw chocolate powder,
bee pollen, muesli,  and carob chips

 Tucker decided he needed to try my drink...couldn't tell if he liked it though. With my shake I had an un-pictured hard boiled egg with ketchup. 

8oz original coconut milk with spiru-tein
cappuccino protein powder and
some turmeric powder

I worked out while my mom took a nap in my bed. It was an arms day so here is what I did:

chest:

• flat press
• chest flies

Shoulders:

• side laterals
• front laterals
• shoulder press

Biceps:

• bicep curls
• concentration curls

Triceps:

• tricep kickbacks
• one-arm tricep extensions
• dips

back:

• bent lateral
• upright row

I did twelve reps of each and ran through the set three times. It was fun!

Halfway through the workout I remembered that I hadn't taken my herb drink yet. The acupuncturist I go to precribed Chinese herbs for me to take which are supposed to help with my anxiety and with building internal strength. They taste horrible so I had a little bit of agave syrup and it helps. 

These are the raw herbs..I cooked them
and strained them for a tea-like drink

Lunch was difficult, as I had to constantly remind myself that Ed is a freakin liar and that I must eat for strength. 

Salad with toubouli, broccoli, and feta cheese

A pear with white chocolate peanut butter

It was such a nice day that I took Marlin (my golden) for a walk at a place next to the ocean. It was beautiful and when I got back I was completely surprised to see a box of flowers on my door step...

Beautiful Roses from Ben for out
Two Year Anniversary!

After figuring out my flowers I snacked on a piece of this bread...my mom and I went to Freeport, Maine yesterday and picked up this Chocolate bread at the When Pigs Fly Bakery! It's amazing!

After my mom woke up we watched Ellen together and I made dinner.

Homemade sweet Potato Chips with
steak and ketchup

Peppers with hummus

I followed my dinner with an ab routine which went something like this:

15 crunches

15 straight leg butt/hip lifts

15 bent knee butt/hip lifts

15 crunch plus butt/hip lifts

15 toe reaches

15 bike crunches

15 leg lifts

1 minute plank

30 second side planks

I completed this three times and then watched Cupcake Wars!! Woo :)

My snack for the night was one of these babies with some carob chips:

Alright, off to finished my Nicholas Sparks book and to get some rest!!
