Isn't that too much food?

Workout this morning:
3 sets of 15 reps on each exercise. My arms will be dead tomorrow. Guaranteed.
  • Dumbbell curl
  • Lying dummbell extension 
  • Hammer curl
  • Overhead dumbbell extension
  • Reverse curl
  • Bench dip
  • Dumbbell shoulder press
  • Dumbbell lateral raise
I can definitely see the progress from when I first started lifting to now. I am developing a nice tone in my shoulders, back, and arms. I feel so strong and empowered!!
 
Today's smoothie might have been the best tasting one since I've started using the Vitamix.
Into the power blender:
1/2 cup of yogurt, 1/2 an apple-seeds and all its glory
big handful of spinach
1/2 cup frozen berries
cup of unsweetened soy milk
a heaping sqeeze of agave necter- provided the sweetness I've been missing in all my previous smoothies
I dug out this long lost treasure from our pantry
I loved this Muesli on top. YUMMMOOO!! I'm obsessed w. anything cinnamon these days!
Afternoon movie time:
Would highly recommend. Sort of a tear jerker. Or maybe I'm just a sap. I know I've mentioned this before but love love LOVE Mark Ruffallo!!

Dinnertime:

Potato salad
Chicken yakitori
warm potatoes and beef
Miso soup but with onions instead of tofu or seaweed :( BOOO!!
Some sort of pickled vegetable I think?
VERY fresh sashimi.
my own mini bottle of wine? Why yes please!
Sweet egg- cold but delicious
Fresh sushi
Tempura- good balance of tempura and veggie
Anago pressed sushi roll and scallop nigiri sushi
UNI BOWL!!
Uni is the most unique tasting dish I've ever had. It's creamy, earthy, musty, a bit strange, and insanely delicious all at the same time. IS this even possible? When I first tried it, I thought it tasted like a dirty room. HA!
Tonkatsu. Very nicely fried and crispy. The pork was a little bit too chewy but it's fried dude. Enuff said.
Yellowtail cheeks
By far the scariest looking thing to arrive on our table. I for sure thought it would eat me before I even touched it. Pretty tasty if you can get past the actual fish head.
this definitely does NOT count as dessert.
BUT THIS SURE DOES!!
The apple cake was deliciously cinnamony too.
Yea I said it. IT'S CINNAMONY. I'm allowed to make up words dontcha know?
The strawberry cheesecake haagan dazs flavor is a must try. There are actual graham cracker bites in the ice cream. O.M.FRIGGIN.G. SO GOOD!

I'm not sure if I'm going to read my book or pass out on the bed.

Food coma for reals.

With Halloween right around the corner..

Candy pop quiz!

Gee.. I'm going to miss seeing all the kids in their cute costumes going trick or treating this year.
Snoopy wishes everyone A HAPPY HALLOWEEN WEEKEND!
My legs were SO sore yesterday from the previous day's workout that I could barely walk up and down stairs. When my body is sore, I tend to need a lot more food.

Snack yesterday: Cinnamon raisin bagel w. laughing cow cheese and honey
Will not be buying these bagels again. There were no plump raisins in any bite and you could barely taste the cinnamon. Blergh. 

Dinnertime!

I'm not really a momma but I sure can eat!
I take it back. I'm a momma to this lil furry one.

Quick snack this morning and I'm outta here for my arms workout.
