Wanna see my fancy office chair?
Oh, yes I did! As if they didn’t think I was strange enough…the whole healthy food eating, fermented tea drinking (mmm, Kombucha…I love you), yoga practicing, fitness ball sitting thing makes me quite a character at work. Dare to be different, my friends Wink
I’m so glad I brought this little guy to work. Not only do I have no lower back pain after a day at the office, but I get to bounce up and down and look really cool all day at work other cool fitness ball peeps out there? If you don’t, hop on board. Its good for you!
I found myself with a bit of free time today and honestly didn’t know what to do with myself! It’s the first time in a few weeks that I have had a free afternoon to do what I want with.
So what did I do? Well, I went back to work! But not until I went for a glorious 4-mile walk around campus, and made a delicious lunch.
I just stir-fried some broccoli and cauliflower ,broccoli slaw, spinach and black beans in coconut oil, salt and pepper, and Mexican seasoning. I put some organic salsa on after the picture and it was delicious!
One of my readers asked me for specific measurements of the things I ate, but I have to be honest, I don’t measure anything. In fact, I refuse to these days.
I used to be obsessed with measurements. No more than 1 tbsp of peanut butter, exactly half a cup of oats, no more than 2 oz of turkey…you get the picture. It’s kind of the same thing as the scale for me…it just takes me to a not so happy place, where my happiness is literally measured by what I eat, how I work out, etc. I just choose not to go there . It’s easy to get wrapped up in all of that stuff; the number on the scale, the “perfect” diet or workout, the ideal body. We have to choose to ignore all of that noise and really listen to what we want and need. And that’s that.
After my afternoon walk, I headed back to work for a few hours, then picked up some dinner on the way home at the local organic market.
A salad from the salad bar (for $3!):
And a sweet ‘tater:
I also had some camera shy rotisserie chicken for a little protein action. It was a simple meal, but very delicious!
Looks like I have a bit of free time tomorrow morning too! I’m definitely going to whip out my yoga mat (which I have been neglecting for far too long!) in the morning. Just me, my mat and some new tunes…
Mmm, sounds perfect.
