Apple Pie B-fast and Green Monster Salad

 Tis' Thursday cuties!!

How was your Hump-Day? Mine was not too shabby ;) The gym visit rocked! I focused on legs and did 2 miles of interval running on the treadmill. As soon as I was done with the workout, I made it a point to really stretch out legs because lately they have been hurting. Although I am not a fan of stretching, I have come to realize that it makes the world of difference when you stretch. That is why I am making an attempt to stretch a lot more and incorporate yoga to my workout routine. I blame many of my running injuries on my lack of flexibility. Through yoga I know I will stretch a lot more and hopefully in the long run improve my flexibility :)  Check out this article that talks about the yoga benefits of flexibility.

I met up with an uncle from Colombia. He came to Miami for a dermatologist conference and look at all the goodies he got my mom and I!  Talk about skin care heaven :) 


This morning my sweet tooth was kicking, so I decided on an apple pie yogurt mess! 


  • caramelized apples (sprinkled some cinnamon and popped them in the microwave for 1 minute) 
  • Greek Yogurt 
  • Crumbled Apple Pie Larabar 
  • Agave 
It was so good!  The mix of the warm apple, cold yogurt, and crunchy Larabar were just divine. 

For lunch I was in the mood for some greens (literally). I made a delicious and hearty Green Salad: 





  • cucumber 
  • spinach
  • celery 
  • tuna 
  • salt & lots of pepper 
I made my own kick-ass dressing! (some agave, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper).

Well chicas I am off to run some errands. Hope you are having an awesome Thursday!!!

  6. Could not agree more with your thoughts on stretching! I always go and do yoga the day after I run a race or just do a longer run and it makes a WORLD of difference. What a great breakfast. The apples look jamming. Enjoy your weekend
