WORKOUT:
4.5 mile run
30 min weights - chest/back
75 min Super Step Class
It was C.O.L.D. this morning. Sunny, but totally misleading. Waking up at 7am was heavenly. I love the freedom to take my SWEET time at the gym doing whatever I feel like. No one to TEELLLLL this girl what to do! (That was directed at YOU ex-job. Take that.)
I had a dream last night with the lovely Lindsay in it! We were hanging out in her house and we were setting up some running dates together. But then she told me she ran like 7:30 minute miles and I was panicking because she was going to SMOKE me!
Oh and Lindsay, in the dream you had 2 kids... is there something you want to tell me? ;) Don't worry, they were really cute.

B-fast yesterday was eggs and toast. Scratch that... eggs and 2 pieces of pictured toast.
Dinner was more yummy Shrimp Quinoa Salad with some Broccoli Slaw.
I tossed the slaw with a little hummus, dijon mustard, nutritional yeast and a splash of almond mild to thin it out. Really quick and easy and full of great fiber.
Maybe I spent my Sunday morning cleaning random things in the kitchen. Like wiping down walls, cupboards, baseboards and appliances. Ben eventually made me stop and said I had to get dressed so we could leave the house. I will be attacking more of that later.
When I have the time, I can't resist organizing and cleaning. It just makes me want to be in my house!
______________________________
We are starting on our garden today! Ben is weeding as we speak so I gotta get my bum in gear and get out there! We don't have tons of garden space but I think we will be doing tomatoes, green onions, spinach, a few herbs and maybe something else. We will see what ends up in our cart at the store.
Previous years we have gotten TONS from what we have planted so I can't wait to get more produce coming my way.

Do you plant a garden every year?
What are your favorite things to plant???
Tomatoes for sure because they are so much better than what you buy at the store. And herbs... I LOVE having fresh herbs to cook with.
What is the most neglected thing to clean in your kitchen?
Ours is the microwave. We should probably clean it once a week, but I could probably count it on one hand the times we clean it in a year. Yucky, I know. It was SPARKLING yesterday though. That is until Ben put his left over curry in to heat it up ... which reminds me why I never clean it.
How funny that Lindsay (+2 kids) was in your dream!!
ReplyDeleteYou created some fantastic meals Holley! WE USED to have a garden and I loved being able to pick green peppers and tomotoes for salads when they were so pricey at the store! Your veggies look awesome! And YOU look adorable in your outfit!!!
I LOVE to plant peppers, spices and tomatoes!! yum! I cant wait to have a yard with a big garden!
ReplyDeleteMy stove never gets cleaned...but it is also the messiest. but I use it all the time so as soon as I clean it...its messy again. blah. Thats why I just avoid it. haha!
Super cute picture! We plant tomatoes, cucumber, & basil. We also have blueberry bushes, grape vines, & strawberries. Yum!
ReplyDeletewe have planted a garden for the first time this year and its actually doing pretty good :) we have squash, tomatoes, okra, string beans, eggplant, herbs and our strawberries didn't make it...guess we need to research a little more! that recipe for your broccoli slaw sounds SO yummy, might have to try!
ReplyDeleteomg i am soooo jealous! I had a garden a few years back and LOVED IT. we've been renting for too long, but hopefully next year we will have a house and a garden to boot! I will just have to live vicariously through you (and farmers markets) this summer! good luck!
ReplyDeleteoh and squash, tomatoes and eggplant are my favs!
I love gardening!!! LOVE IT. We will likely be moving this summer. So we probably won't do anything spectacular this year. Maybe some herbs and a few tomato baskets. :)
ReplyDeleteWE tried to plant a garden last year (in planters) epic fail... ugh. So i'll just come to your house and steal tomatoes and stuff. ;) I would love to plant tomatoes (big ones and the little sweet cherry ones), zucchini, yellow squash, and bell peppers. YUM!
ReplyDeleteI've been having little spurts of deep cleaning. Went through my closet last night and pulled out a bunch of old clothes to donate to my parent's garage sale pile. the one thing that rarely gets cleaned is... the microwave. ugh. nasty. I love to vaccuum though. and clean my stove top. weird right?!
Just found your blog and am now a follower! :)
ReplyDeleteI wish we could have a garden (my hubby and I are in South Korea right now). I can't wait until we are stateside again... I want to plant so many things!!
We always used to have a garden, with especially lots of tomatoes in it. The most neglected thing in our kitchen is probably the stove top. It gets nasty so fast!
ReplyDeleteI love gardens I am so jealous! I wish I had the space to plant a Garden. You look absolutely gorgeous in the picture. Love the boots!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day! :)
LOL! No kids here! uh, at least none that I am aware of. haha.
ReplyDeleteand a 7:30 pace would be my dream. How cool though if we really got to hang out!!
