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!!! 

Burgers and Peach Cobbler ;)

Hello bloggies!

There is so much positivity in the air, can you feel it!?! OH YEAH, I feel it ;)  I am actually uber-excited because my SPRING BREAK begins tomorrow! WooHooo!!! Although, I don't have a planned trip due to my lack of mulah, I can't wait to lay back, relax, and veg. 

Last night I was not feeling too well, a bit under the weather :(  So, instead of going to the gym I hung out and relaxed with Rusty. We made dinner together! 

We made mini-turkey burgers, they were really good and super easy to make. And I have 2 patties leftover for today's lunch. 

Lean Turkey Burgers 

• 1 lb. of Lean Ground Turkey 
• 1 egg 
• Onion
• Mushroom 
• Garlic 
• 1/2 tsp Salt & Pepper 
• 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder 

1.  Chop up onion, mushroom, and garlic (to your liking, its going to go into the turkey burger mixture).
2.  In a large bowl mix all ingredients together. 
3. Refrigerate mixture for about 10 minutes, then form patties ( I made about 6 patties) 
4. Grill for about 15 minutes. The inside of the burger will look whitish in color when cooked through. (I used a George Forman Grill) 

Instead of fries we had some of these veggie sticks :)

After dinner we just laid back and relaxed, just what I needed :) 

This morning, I woke up so refreshed and feeling a whole lot better!! It is good to listen to your body.  with the way I was feeling yesterday if I had gone to the gym, I probably wouldn't feel as good as I do today. 

This morning I had peach cobbler for b-fast ;) 

These two babies together are A-mazing, I honestly feel like I am having peach cobbler! 

What do you like to pair Larabars with?

I'm off to make some lunch and continue reading. Got to get everything done before my gym sesh with Rusty!! 

Hope you are having a Happy-Hump-Day!
