my less serious day: fall back

A brief history of what I do with my extra hour.

15 years ago: an extra hour of sleeping (noon wake up time at my parents house, to be exact).

10 years ago: an extra hour of studying (early morning cell biology reading at Barnes & Noble with caramel lattes, to be exact).

5 years ago: an extra hour of partying (late night of beer drinking and pool playing at various bars, to be exact).

This weekend: an extra hour of cooking (7 AM bread dough kneading, to be exact).

Time. Change.
 
Wearing.


Dress: J Crew outlet; cardigan: unknown (old); boots: Steve Madden; short necklace: LOFT; long necklace: gifted via Mom.

Doing.

This morning I went on a 30-minute pace run followed by a short cool down walk with L. I walked to and from my car to my lunch destination in the middle of the day. Finally, I finished the day with a 60-minute Body Pump class.

Eating.


Breakfast was this messy bowl (x2) of Kellogg's All Bran, Cheerios, banana, and cow's milk. A healthy breakfast, indeed.



Mid-morning snack was this banana.



I had lunch out with friends. I ordered and enjoyed this tuna salad (tuna tossed in lemon, parsley & caper vinaigrette on a bed of fresh garden greens with roasted new potatoes, green beans, roasted plum tomatoes, olives & farm fresh soft-boiled eggs).




Dinner was roasted eggplant discs on top of raw spinach and drenched in homemade tahini goddess dressing and a side of Ezekiel 7 Sprouted Grains toast topped with smashed avocado and kosher salt. Yuuuummm.



Dessert was 1/2 pint of chocolate Arctic Zero. And yes, that is whipped cream peeking out of the top...


Note: this post represents what happened in my world on Monday, November 5.

  5. I'm pretty sure that prior to 4 or 5 years ago, I always used the extra hour to sleep. Now, I honestly have no idea where that time goes. Wait, no... that's not true. This year I was sleeping again. Darn boys bringing out my bad habits again.

  8. Haha, my "how I spent the extra hour" from those years is pretty much the same as yours! Except this year, I ended up sleeping instead of cooking :-)

  9. Ohhhh... I want your lunch and your dinner! I think I spent my extra hour eating. Or sleeping. It's hard to say - Sunday was a blur after the competition!

  10. That`s hysterical, such a great idea to look back and think what we would all be doing with that time! With me it has remained an extra hour of sleep fairly consistently I think...!

    Thanks for linking up to the Healthy Breakfast Challenge! Your breakfasts always make me hungry :).
