Motivation Monday, because the first work day of week sets a trend for the next 4 and we’re going to make it a good one!
You can buy this tank top at One More Mile.
I don’t need any motivation to eat, but it’s nice to have dinner ready when I’m hungry!I used this TJ’s Curry Simmer sauce for a super easy crockpot dish. Very complicated recipe= Place 4 chicken breasts, half an onion and some chopped zucchini squash in the crockpot with this sauce for 5 hours on high (or 8 on low).
I made myself skip the Naan section of the store because I dominate the entire package and opted for brown pride rice (with butta and salt) – dinner is served.
I spotted the new Iced Oatmeal Cookie Z bar at TJ’s today. It tastes just like an oatmeal cookie! But, for 130 calories you could eat a “real” oatmeal cookie, right?
However, I ate it with a glass of milk and my taste buds were pretty convinced this was a legit cookie. I would get this again and again and again.
Okay, I’ve gotta date with my TV – The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to be exact.
Shelly says
Unfortunately the last thing I drank was plain old water. Yay water!
Alaina says
I love that quote! I may have to get that shirt. I’m always telling myself that on my runs.
Sneakers2Sandals says
Having a good crockpot recipe ready to go is a great feeling! Fast gourmet!
Jessica says
I am a housewives addict. I don’t know what kind of drugs Kim is on, but the girl needs some help. Hot mess.
Allison says
I saw that new bar the other day and wanted to try it but it looked tiny aka not gonna fill me up :-Z Gah, how was Real Housewives?! I tuned into The Bachelor instead and it was a drama fest as usual… Planning to catch a re-run of the Real Housewives later today!
Lindsay @ Running the Windy City says
Oh, I’ll have to keep my eyes open for the oatmeal cookie zbar. I like to buy the chocolate chip ones and microwave them for a couple of seconds. They taste like a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie that way 🙂
Tia says
Very cute shirt, I need some motivational work out shirts.
I’m always so jealous reading about everyone shopping at Tj’s & Whole Foods. I have to travel 1800kms to hit the closest Whole Foods lol!
BUT Vegas in May & I’m hitting up some stores crazy tourist style 😉 … Now that I think about it, going to Vegas and being excited to hit up Whole Foods is pretty sad ..
Deirdre @ Oh Well Whatever says
Love tj simmer sauces! Fresh and easy has some good stuff too.
Where are your boot camp classes and how much?
Rebecca @ Miss Magnolia Munches & Moves says
Ahhh. I missed RHWOBH last night because I was watching football! I mean, it’s not like they rerun them 1000 times or anything! How was the curry simmer sauce? That would be an easy recipe with marinara or salsa too!
runeatrepeat says
Yes, I usually make it with salsa and have a ton of leftovers for burritos and tacos!
Fancy Nancy says
LOVE Real Housewives!! I somehow never manage to forget to eat!
Ashley says
I had that Clif Z bar the other day with milk – SO GOOD! It’s hard to find near me though so I hope more stores start selling them.
Emily says
That is exactly how I felt this morning when I got up and 4:34 am to go for a Tuesday morning marathon training run. I just needed to GO. 🙂
I really need to try more sauces at TJs, maybe they will inspire me to cook something new every now and again. Right now we’re on a rotation of pretty much 5 meals that I can cook well. Lol. Really need to work on that cooking!
Nicole says
I’ve been using brown jasmine rice lately – it’s got a nice taste that gives a unique (unique in a good way!) flavor to any dish.
RHOBH sure has been a whole lot of crazy lately 🙂
Lauren says
This could be my favorite cliff bar yet. I just need to find it. 😉
Alexandra says
That’s my mantra on bleak winter days…
Karen says
Love the Beverly Hills ladies! Who is your favorite? I think Lisa is absolutely the best housewife out of all the franchises! Every day I try to think “What Would Lisa Do?” 🙂
Corrie Anne says
OH man. I would have to skip the Naan too. It’s ok at restaurants where they somewhat portion control it for me. Lol. Delicious dinner. It’s been a good Monday. 🙂
Christine @ Oatmeal in my Bowl says
Hmmm… a cookie but without the guilt. I like that. I tried an Odwalla chocolate peanut butter bar – it was so nasty. bleck. will give the Z bar a try. thx. 😉
Lisa @ Yo Momma Runs says
That’s a great shirt!
We are z-bar crazy in this house. I think that was one of the first words of my twin two year olds. Z bar!!! We get the giant boxes at Sam’s Club.
Deva @ Deva by Definition says
I love jarred curry sauce – it makes cooking so simple!
I was motivated to sleep in today – I was wiped from my “high” mileage weekend, but can’t wait to get back to running!
Nicole says
Thanks for reminding me about THOBH!

Paula says
I love the first 2 lines of this blog! Hope you started a great trend for the week! : )
Cheryl says
I love that picture. I just finished a running streak and realized that the only reason I could make it 23 days straight running (at least a mile a day) is cuz I gave up any pressure to run a certain pace. I may have run really slow but I’m just building a base so that’s what I needed. NTM I can still walk.
I’ve never tried a Z bar but maybe now that I know they’re legit I will!
Losing Lindy says
I love the shirt!! I will need to make it a favorite.
I am not a fan of curry, but I love TJs.
I hope you had a good day!
Meg @ My Chocolate Covered Life says
I love me some RHBH!
