Whole Foods

Check out my loot:

This was my third time going to our local Whole Foods and as you can see, I didn't buy much. I wish I could but most items are so gosh darn expensive! While there, I realized I missed the experience of shopping at a large grocery store. We've been using this online grocery delivery program for the better part of this year because it became a hassle to lug around groceries without a car. I'm thinking of transitioning back despite that minor annoyance because I actually love going down all the aisles and checking out the new product. Also, I can't forget about the free samples that are strewn about the store. Today, I sampled some fresh mozzerella balls and a zuchinni and cabbage soup. So good!


For lunch I had:

I'm not a vegetarian nor do I intend on becoming one but I have no idea what has come over me lately. I think I just grew tired of the same flavors I was tasting and my taste buds needed a change. The patty was good but the actual size of it was pretty dinky small.

I also had some of this bad boy. Lately, I've been drinking water with every meal and that can get boring. I never actually found a replacement for diet soda so I'm always on the look out for something similar. This "special" tea is yummy! Not overly sweet just like I like my tea and cold, which I prefer on summer days. Plus, its a healthy alternative. Here is their motto:

	No artificial preservatives
	No artificial colourings
	No artificial additives
	No artificial sweeteners
	No GMO's

Final product: Veggie burger with half of a wholemeal bun. Condiments: Organic ketchup and hot sauce. Sides: Broccoli and a bag of Wotsis, which is like cheese puffs in the states

Song of the day: American Honey by Lady Antebellum. Can't wait to see them in concert next Wed!

Toasty

Food plug!  I found this bag of deliciousness when I went to the Earl's Court food exhibition. I was hooked the moment I tried a sample! This flavor is strawberry and banana and it is excellent eaten plain, with milk, or mixed in with a smoothie for an added sweetness and crunchy texture. It comes in other flavors such as apple cinnamon and berry. Mmmm..


















My smoothie this morning unfortunately wasn't as good. I used too much spinach and overdid the coconut flakes on top. I also used Alpro soya milk light but I don't think that contributed to the funky taste. Not enough frozen fruit, too much green! I think its time for another grocery order from Ocado, our food delivery website.

My workout this morning consisted of this:
I did 3 sets of 15 of these exercises: squat, push ups,pull down, lunge,military press, upright row,tricep pushdown,leg extension, bicep curl, plank, and a few ab exercises in between. Currently, I'm listening to Eminem while strength training. I cooled down with a bit of Miley Cyrus and a salsa track that I'm really addicted to called Yo no se manana (Love!)

Cooldown:

This foam roller is wonderful. I lay on my stomach and let it roll slowly over my quad and calf muscles. It definitely loosens up the tension I have built up from my workouts and runs. I also think its helping my hurt hip.
