Motivation Monday

Uncategorized

FacebookTweetPin
9 Jan

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!image

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). TJs curry simmer sauceIMG_4473 (800x600)

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. IMG_4470 (800x600)

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?clif z bar oatmeal

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.clif z bar iced oatmeal

Okay, I’ve gotta date with my TV – The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to be exact.

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      Unfortunately the last thing I drank was plain old water. Yay water!

      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!

      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 🙂

      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 ..

      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!

        Yes, I usually make it with salsa and have a ton of leftovers for burritos and tacos!

      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.

      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!

      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 🙂

      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. 🙂

      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.

      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!

      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!

      I hope you had a good day!
