Keeping up with Goals: Week 2

I have done pretty well eating wise this week although exercising has been a little lacking! I have still been doing yoga in my kitchen almost every morning though so I guess I shouldn't beat myself up about it to much. Next week I'm hoping to get in a whole lot more hikes and walks with the puppy and as of today I have a fridge stocked full of lots of yummy produce so eating good will be easy. I have to admit though buying locally once again has been a bit too diffucult this week so the grocery store it was. I really hate going to the grocery store near our house they dont have as much organic stuff and every is just so much more sad looking. I usually go to the grocery store in town if I'm going to because its much bigger so everything is always yummy and bright and fresh not to mention better prices and lots of organic and even some local produce!
Here of a few things that were on the menu this week.

 Kale sauteed with garlic sesame seeds and EVOO

Oven roasted banana squash with a little butter and pepper. low fat turkey, cheese and lettuce sammy.

Local tiger shrimp in garlic butter and brown rice casserole. The rice casserole  recipe here.

Really easy and good I ate it topped with greek yogurt.

And here is some pictures from tonight's spaghetti Sunday. Me and Matt make pasta together every Sunday night. Its fun and yummy :)

Grape tomatoes roasted in EVOO, salt, pepper and thyme.

Matt chopping up mushrooms for his pasta.

My pasta tonight was a very green one! kale, spinach, broccoli, asparagus, onion, garlic, mushrooms, evoo and feta cheese. I didn't take a picture of Matt's pasta but it was the same except with tomato sauce. Topped with my roasted tomatoes

I've also been drinking as much tea as possible. I'm a coffeeaholic but I have tried to sub out my coffee with tea whenever possible. I love stash teas with macha. This pomegranate and raspberry is one of my favorites for sure. I am drinking a cup of orange ginger with macha right now and its also super tasty!

Here's my original post of my goals again if anyone is interested :)

I hope you all had a lovely weekend! I'm off for a day trip with my 9 month prego friend Ashley to pick up a baby dresser should be tons of fun! Shes one of my besties and I havent seen her as much as I'd like to as of lately so I'm super excited :D

Keeping up with Goals: Week 1

I have been doing my very best at eating as healthy as I can every day. I have been a bit uninspired the last few weeks thought because most of the local farms around dont have much in the way of produce. So we made a trip to the grocey store in town to load up on fruit and veggies and I have done a lot better this week staying on track. We ate at home most meals this week although we actually went for dinner and lunch a lot more than we usually do. Matt didnt work all week so I guess that is why, too much time on our hands! Plus I had nachos twice this week.. wow haha oh well. I just cant resist a big plate of nachos and guacamole... mmm.

But here is one of the better days I had this week

 yogurt and apples for breakfast

 Lunch whole wheat totilla pizza!

cheese, mushrooms, feta, red onion and green pepper. soo yummy

 baked tomatoes with mozza, feta and thyme for a snack. These are so good!

 Me and Matt made our own pasta sauces. Mine was onion, garlic, broccoli, mushrooms, kale, thyme and evoo. Matts on the right had everything mine had but with beef and crushed tomatoes.

We said we are gonna have pasta on sunday nights now and we will always make it together either like this and make our own sauces (matt likes meat and I don't very often) or we will make a sauce together! We ate these one with catelli smart linguine it was awesome. Kale is probably my favorite thing in the world its so amazing.

I made some wholewheat oat and blackberry muffins last week. They were okay but I wasnt overly happy with the way they came out. I'll have to try a differnt recipe next time. I have so many frozen blackberries that Matt's aunt picked and gave to us in the summer.

I have been making it a goal to do yoga everyday at home for at leased 10-20 minutes. I've stuck to it for the most part although its been freezing cold the last few days and We've been slacking in the fire making department. So whenever I've been home the past few days I've been sitting on my laptop in bed haha! Thats where I am right now in fact... But I will get back into the routine tomorrow. I feel so much more energized with even 10 minutes of yoga a day. One of my oringinal goals was to go for a walk every day. But again its been so cold that I really haven't wanted to be outside for very long. So I figured as long as I'm doing yoga and dancing around the house every day I will be satisfied until it warms up again.

I've also decided to try and write a post a week about keeping up with the goals I listed here at the beginning of January!

Well I am gonna stay cozy in my bed for another hour or so and then head to friends to watch the hockey game ! 

Happy weekend all!
