Double X Workouts

In addition to the delicious Hemp Bagels from French Meadow Bakery that I recently tried and reviewed here, I also picked up a loaf of Organic Flax & Sunflower Seed Bread. Ross and I both tried it today. He had two slices in a turkey and swiss sandwich at lunch and he liked it! He said he really enjoyed it and it tasted like a “normal” bread, and liked the wheat and seeds. (I find his mini-review comical – apparently other healthy-breads I’ve bought haven’t tasted “normal”?).  I loved it! It had a great texture and flavor to it – my favorite breads are seedy breads that have some chew.

Thanks for the coupon that allowed me to try this bread for free, French Meadow Bakery!

I had a slice, toasted, with Trader Joe’s raw crunchy almond butter for a pre-workout snack.

And workout I did! On today’s P90X agenda was Shoulders and Arms (love this one!) and Ab Ripper X (you know my feelings…). Well, since I’m really making an effort to lose weight, I decided to kick it up a notch and also added Cardio X into the mix. Definitely tired now! And HUNGRY.

Dinner was another quick and easy meal thrown together post-workouts. Eating vegan really does not have to be difficult, you just need to make sure you keep a well-stocked vegan pantry and fridge.

We made quick salads of spinach, guacamole, salsa and crispy tofu seasoned with kosher salt, garlic powder and chili powder.

I also threw together some baked sweet potato fries seasoned with kosher salt, cinnamon, chili powder and garlic powder.

Delicious dinner! A bit on the light side, but never fear, we had some banana-cherry-brown rice chocolate protein powder soft serve afterwards, too. (For two servings: 2 frozen bananas in chunks, 1 cup frozen cherries, 2 T. protein powder – super delicious without protein powder, we just wanted the extra protein punch!).

I’m off! So much to do. Me thinks most will get pushed back to Friday, oh well! May as well just watch a few more minutes of Olympics before bed! How about Lindsey Vonn, eh? She deserves it!
