We had a guest (my stepson G) over the weekend, and I felt too awkward taking pictures of my food, so this time you’ll get to see what I ate on Monday, a typical day at the office.
Typical breakfast sandwiches, one with tofurky slices, the other one with peanut butter and strawberry preserves, packed in my favorite blue sandwich box.
Side note: Every Sunday night I make some sandwiches for my husband to take to work on Monday morning (he leaves at 5am!). I use a red box for his food, so we don’t mix them up.
Thank goodness we have a working microwave at work again! Last week I had to eat most of my lunches cold, which gets pretty boring after a while. Anyway, I had packed some leftovers for lunch: mixed vegetables (mushrooms, broccoli, bell pepper), marinated and pan-fried tofu, white rice, black soy beans, roasted sesame seeds. You could call it bento!
Dinner was even more leftovers. Somehow I made way too much food over the weekend. I had spaghetti, homemade marinara with zucchini and mushrooms, and topped it with nutritional yeast and arugula.
Dessert of the day were a few cranberry brownie bites. They came out a little crumbly but incredibly delicious. I love cranberries! Unfortunately, I can’t give you the recipe, as I got it from a book. (You can find the recipe here, but it’s in German!)
If you’ve been reading my blog for a little while, you know that I hate strength training. I know it’s important for my health and general fitness, but it’s just so boring. So I’m trying something new this month: Blogilates! Lovely Cassie has posted lots of Pilates videos, and even offers a monthly workout calendar. She recommends doing a mix of cardio and Pilates moves for 60 minutes total, six days a week. For me, that’s too much! There’s no way I can fit in six hours of exercise into my crazy-busy schedule at the moment. But, I try to do as much as I can, adjusting the plan to my own needs.
When it comes to working out, I love having a detailed plan, so I don’t need to think about what I should do next. Some of the moves in the videos are really tough, so I had to modify them, but so far I really enjoy this new plan.
You can find all of the videos, workout calendars, meal plans, and much more on Blogilates.com.
Have you ever tried Pilates or online workout videos?
See you!
Great, healthy packed bfast and lunch ideas! I’m with you on strength training- I would so much rather go run than do weights. But I know it benefits my running, and helps prevent injury and I like getting stronger, so I try to do some on my own 2-3 times a week. That class sounds great!
[...] can be tough eating healthy in the office, but Sue from Sue In Training showed us the “bento” lunch of veggies, tofu, soy beans and rice that she brought to work. [...]
