You know me I tend to eat the same old stuff day in and day out so to me two new things in one day is BIG!

The morning started off with my typical green monster shake however there were some changes.

Instead of using Amazing Grass I used my new Vega Whole Food Optimizer:

I have been wanting to try this product for a while now.  I like the idea that it has all the “green” food plus maca plus chlorella and protein all in one.  And vegetarian sources of protein to boot.

I ended up using one scoop of Vega, almond milk, almond butter, flax seed, 1 banana and frozen berries:

I think this morning I will use half of scoop instead and omit the almond butter and add spinach.

It was very thick and much more filling than my usual mix.  But it tasted good!

Last night our dinner was created around this second new product:

My mother in law from Fit and Sixty turned us on to these egg white salads.  They have quite a few varieties at TJ’s.  We decided this one would be good in a salad.

First I made a delicious mix of all things veggie:

Bill sautéed some asparagus in an olive oil blend:

Topped the salad with sun-dried tomatoes and the egg white salad mix:

All together now with the asparagus:

It was delicious!

We ate while catching up on some Dexter episodes.

Any Dexter fans out there?

Have you tried any worthy new products lately I should know about?

Hope you have a great Tuesday!

It turned out sooooo good.  Granted it is not wild salmon which would explain why it was so buttery tasting but sometimes you just have to eat what you are craving.

So good! Especially on a big salad with hummus.

Before I made dinner though I did something I have not done in ions-YOGA.  I think Averie at Love Veggies and Yoga has inspired me!  Granted it was just 25 minutes of Hatha Yoga from Yoga Download but it was amazing.  I forgot how much I LOVE it.  Thank you Averie for inspiring me to get my Yoga mat out.

Today I finally woke up feeling a bit like my old self.

Started with a warm cup of coffee and computer time:

And then felt energetic enough to go for a run!  It had been way toooo long. 

I felt pretty decent though Pepsi was not too spry.  Sometimes she seems like a young girl and other times she seems like an old girl.  Today I was running with “old girl.”  Makes me sad.

Came home.

Got ready for work.

Walked to work with my lovely ladies, Debbie and Julie.

Drank my green monster and ate my fiber cake:

The rest of the day went by in a blur.  Sometimes teaching is just one crazy episode of action after another.

And now, I am sitting here in my living room relaxing and getting ready to make something to eat.  I think lots of grilled veggies are on the agenda tonight.

After I completed my short yoga session I mentioned above, I realized it was something I had been missing from my daily routine.  I am going to try to do a few yoga practices each week again.

Is there something you feel is missing that you would like to reintroduce back into your routine?
