Happy Tuesday!!
I had a killer workout this morning which left me feeling fantastic because I beat my old score!
Post workout snack – purple sweet potato – GOSH I love this thing!
I’ve been reading a lot about the importance of eating starchy tubers and yams as post workout meal to replenish the depleted muscle glycogen. So now I’m trying to incorporate more into my diet (not just post workout), especially I’m on the quest of adding muscle mass to my skinny frame.
In addition to my packed lunch, I also packed 2 containers of strawberries for my snacks that I got from Farmer’s Market on Saturday.
put some strawberries with fage full fat greek yogurt - yum..taste like strawberry ice cream!
Surprisingly, that little purple yam filled me up all the way to lunch time. In the morning, I was debating whether I should pack some mini egg salsa muffins as my breakfast, but decided not to. Either way, I was well prepared with my strawberries in case I got hungry before lunch time.
Got out from work and I saw this!
For some reason the bird decided to throw its “bombs” all over on my car! How the hell other cars next to me didn’t even get a single drop and I had these nasty droppings on my windshield? And my car was not even parked nearby any trees at all. ARGH! I quickly washed my car after I got home. Can’t stand looking at bird poops on my car. Not to mention it’s harmful for your car paint as well.
Made quickie dinner: roasted curried cauliflower and steamed green beans, some spring mix salad from Costco plus quickie guacamole I made yesterday. (and I had a slice of beef stew – un pictured)
Roasted sweet potatoes..YUM!
Tomorrow’s lunch (yup just similar stuff with tonight’s dinner and today’s lunch)
How’s the weather at your place?
LA weather has been pretty whacked! The temperature can rise and drop significantly in just one day! Today was very windy and chilly even though it was sunny. And it’s supposedly Spring? It’s more like we’re stepping back to winter again. Not to mention it might rain again tomorrow…argh!
Delightful Taste Buds

One time, a bird became obsessed with my boyfriend’s sideview mirror and it would leave “bombs” ALL over the passenger side. It would come back everyday, we eventually had to cover his mirrors with plastic bags until the insane bird went away!

Mmmmm, your curried cauliflower gives me such an appetite! 😀 And I see I have to try purple sweet potatoes. I’ve seen SP in three different colors at the Asia store, and I’ll try them all! 🙂

Is that a pear with avocado in it? How unique!
Yea, seriously the weather today was WHACK. Sunney but soooo cold outside! My mood has been whack also. I’ll blame it on the weather 🙂

Hopefully our weather will be better soon!

For the purple (Okinawan) sweet potatoes – the skins are edible and full of vitamins 🙂
