Today was really interesting! I woke up, said hello to the sun and had a nice summery breakfast before heading out to teach.

It’s Oikos + Flax + Almond Butter + Bananas. It’s a perfect combination. If you mix and mash bananas long enough they become creamy. My personal trick is to mash them in my hand when they are still in their peels. Then I peel them and pull out the banana with a spoon. Try it for yourself.

This filled me all morning! At noon I headed to the gym for a quick 40 minutes on the elliptical. Mark had a really cool shoot that I wanted to go to, so I rushed home to shower and packed a quick lunch before heading to his studio. 

Salad ingredients included

• Spinach
• Broccoli
• Tomatoes
• Zucchini
• Broccoli Slaw
• Cucumbers
• Two pieces of Dave’s Killer Bread As you can see, one was almost gone before I ate the salad. I hid the other on the bottom to dunk in my Apple Cider Vinegar + Dijon dressing.

Along with my salad is an entire mango.

At the studio I watched an interview David Garrett for Plant Verge. Until last night, I’d never heard of him, but then Mark showed me this video and I was really intrigued.

It was really cool to meet him in person and listen to him play.  Have you heard of him? He’s been No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Classical Crossover Albums chart for three weeks. Pretty cool if you ask me.

Filming is over and now I am just waiting for Mark to stop schmoozing so we can get something to eat! I am snacking on Triscuits while I wait.

Two Giveaways

Aimee is having a delicious Nana’s Cookie giveaway.

Zesty is having a POM giveaway of his own.

No, I did not fall off The Cleaner Life Month wagon! Cupcake Fest is a cupcake and music event sponsored by Sweet Avenue Bake Shop. It’s in Lincoln Park across from the bakery in Rutherford, N.J this Saturday. There will be free mini-cupcakes, music, raffles and and donation collection for the Liberty Humane Society in Jersey City. I haven’t made it over there yet, but I’ve heard their cupcakes (all vegan by the way) are amazing. Nicole loves them! Look at their June Cupcake of the Month!!!!!

I have my Girls on the Run 5K in the morning, but Mark and I are planning to go in the afternoon. Let me know if you’re going to be there! Even though I won’t be eating the cupcakes, it should be a fun day!

Anyway, I hope you’re having an excellent Tuesday! So far, so good on my end. At the gym this morning I did 20 minutes elliptical and 20 minutes bike. I cam home and did my Shred routine that I explained here.  It was a a wonderfully sweaty workout!

When I was done I needed some lunch. I chose a hummus sandwich with spinach and mango. Mango is a fruit that is new to me and it’s so tropical and delicious.

And in other news, Mark’s Mohawk is now a Frohawk.

Still like it?  Yeah I thought so.
