According to Urban Dictionary it mean “out of order” or “disarranged.” Ha, I love that. It totally describes the week. But I am used it. I’ve switched teaching weeks with a co-worker so all my fitness classes are on different days this week but I have to say it’s worked out nicely with the hubs taper week. Not as many 4:45am wake up calls. Tis good!
Anyway, since the hubs is racing this weekend, our eats are a little different too. Lots more fish, veggies, and antioxidant rich meals. It’s all about the quality not quantity of calories. So here we go.
I call this my Omega Banana Nut Parfait- layer of oats, layer of flax, layer of chia seeds, layer of GF cornflakes, topped with a little kefir, NUTTZO, banana, and honey.
GF Spinach Boats- Scoop out the middle of your GF roll, toast, then add in spinach, cottage or ricotta cheese (both high in amino acids and whey), and top with tomato sauce.
Strawberry Salmon Stir Fry- Sautee diced or canned Alaskan Salmon (wild caught) with broccoli slaw, turmeric, Braggs, and little blush strawberry vinaigrette. Serve on a bed of spinach with cherry tomatoes.
Oh and we can’t forget this!! Can we all just say CHEERS to GT Kombucha today?! I know this lady had the same!
WIWW (What I Worked Wednesday)
Well, I told you it was all off today. Instead of teaching I had a steady state run followed by TRX core work. If you don’t have a TRX, you need one NOW! Go check it out! We travel with this and it’s a LIFESAVER!
But I will leave you with this……

I LOVE ALL OF YOUR EATS SOOOO MUCH!! I really wish they sold Kombucha here in the UK so I can see what all the fuss is about! :P Can I come and live with you guys please?! ;) And your playlist is awesome!!
Happy Wednesday friend:)
Why, oh why, did I look? I just started my Ayurvedic Detox and this food looks so tasty! I agree that mixing it up is a great thing. Plus, if mixing it up means less 4:45 starts, good on ya'!!
Love the music choices! Most are faves of mine too : )
Nicole
Love your WIWW playlist!!!! <3 I wish I could toast up a kombucha - I totally scarfed my last one yesterday but i'll toast my empty bottle to you and Dorry! haha!
GF spinach boats? GENIUS! I love it!!!
xoXOxo
Jenn @ Peas & Crayons
So I haven't heard, like, any of those songs...off to youtube :)
KOMBUCHA :)
I finally tried GT Kombucha (flavor: Trilogy Enlightened - or something like that) for the first time last week - so, so good!
All those meals look so tasty minus the cottage cheese though. Not a fan of that nastiness. :p
And I have yet to try trx but really want to.
Your blog always make me feel sunny and happy ;) I love it!!
Mmm apples and nut butter is my fav :) Everything looks so great and sometimes I wish I could eat cheese without the feeling of death in my stomach ;)
xxoo
The Omega Nut Parfait looks fantastic! I think I am going to recreate it :)
I've never tried TRX. But it looks pretty intense!
oh yes, let me know if you like them!

Do you have any particular favorite or go-to resources to find good TRX exercises? I'm always looking for more!
Also, nice playlist. I really like broken bells.
I am just now able to handle low lactose dairy. Makes me so happy! But its okay
because I think I like my almond cheese and cashew cheese better. Right?
;)

that gf spinach boat looks to die for!
LOL! i know, some people just can't handle the texture. Not sure how I do. ha!
And I think you'd love TRX for your house. Its so perfect for your busy schedule
in case you can't get to gym. I love ours!

I love the TRX! I started using it in my boot camp classes and fell in love. It really is amazing! And that food! Can you please cook for me for a day?! It all looks so delicious!

Thanks for the playlist ideas! Love kombucha!!! We are excited to add fermented foods and drinks back into our diet here soon :) I have never tried TRX before, I will have to give it a try sometime.
Oh your food looks amazing I am really impressed with how good your photos are usually when I photograph every meal its messy.... LOVE KOMBUCHA! My first batch came out today and its delicious! I need to try flavoring it but omg sooo good and way cheaper than GT'S even though I love it.
thats awesome!! I like it plain too. Its fun to get creative with your brews.
Keep me posted.
Lindsay

wish i could feel comfort with carbs...i'm absolutely doing zero exercise...your eats look yummy...wish i had your control...particularly at night :(
It's NO TRI, but this week is taper week for my marathon.... it defenitely means eats, & I hope their good, I'm trying to clean out the fridge since we'll be gone for few days. I think I had all 5 servings of fruits and veggies just for lunch and there's more to come :-)
The food looks delicious!
oh I hope you get to enjoy some yummy Kombucha soon! I bet you did miss it.
Hopefully your tummy will like it.
When do you get to add it back in?
Lindsay

O my goodness thank you SO much for posting your workout music :-) I needed something new so badly. Your eats look delicious!

I took a TRX class at my gym a few months back and my abs hated me for days!
Your parfait looks insanely good! :)
At least 5 or 6 of those songs can be found under my "recent purchases" on iTunes - I'm loving some of the new music out there! Kanye & Katy with E.T. is the flavor of the week! :)
Those eats look tasty!!
I love how we think alike! I know you're a TRX fan too.
;)
I haven't talked to you in forever! But, I wanted to say that I am SO happy that I "met" you. =P Really. :) And, it's so crazy to see what a turn around I've made in my health. I remember talking to you about being scared to eat fat and more calories..now I am thinking about doing a BULK!!! Can you believe it??? Anway..thank you soooo much, Lindsay! I hope to really MEET you some day. SOON! :)
And, I had kombucha today too. Guava. I liked it a lot! And, it is helping sooth my nasty tummy. I've had bathroom problems all day today. :(
totally a love/hate relationship with TRX. right?
hehe.

James is a lucky guy! These meals look delicious and packed full of nutrients. Win-win! I sure do love Trilogy. I'm not sure what I did before Kombucha! I think you get the credit for piquing my interest. :)
i love that we share such similar passions. Thats what makes our friendship so
unique, kombucha and all. hehe.
Lindsay
________________________________
GAHHHH please come make me food for every meal of the day. I'll pay you in kombucha, I promise. I JUST took the last sips of my Guava Goddess, boohoo...
TRX is all over the place here, I think they offer classes at the gym? I can't remember. Either way, it's somehow offered to us... I'll make sure to check it out though!!
PS - Funny story to share with you - my husband walked through the door this afternoon and asked "Why am I NOT smelling those Fluffy Bites?" I was beyond confused, and asked him what on earth he was talking about. Apparently it was his non-chalant way of 'asking' for the chocolate caramel peanut butter cups... I about died laughing. Hope that made you smile!
I love your playlist!! I'm loving Adele right now :) And ohmygosh does all of your food look soooo yummy!
We have TRX at my gym but I've yet to try it. I may try to do that on days when I'm not running. Sounds like its a good workout!
LOVING the WIAW posts ahhh!
i love kombucha! its soo expensive-i only get it at home when i have the parents paying hahah. LOVE YOU!
TRX is my fav!! plus i teach a trx class that leaves my people in a quivering mass of humanity on their matts at the end of the class!!! ;) haha
That parfait sounds great! I will definitely try it. Also, I tried Kombucha for the first time.... umm. That sums it up- "umm" Not thrilled by it lol
Where is James racing this week? Are you going along?
Excellent playlist! Love TRX! Hope the discombobulation straightens out :)
Have a good Thursday lady!
Katie :)
That's it. I'm moving to Austin so you can teach me how to cook!!
That's a great playlist... I'm going to put some of those songs on my playlist for my half this weekend!!
Is your hubs doing the Ironman in The Woodlands in May??
I'm totally inspired by your salmon stir fry! I have a pound of strawberries sitting in my fridge and was trying to think up creative ways to use them today. Sauteeing fruit is definitely a new-to-me concept, but one I'm excited to try!
Awesome playlist! Love the tune selection!
Question about kombucha: I've bought two bottles over the past year, and both times, it made my stomach go a bit crazy (if you know what I mean, heh)...If I keep drinking, do you think my gut will get used to it? :-p
oh I love that. Wish I could come to your TRX class!
Lindsay

no not this year. Maybe next. Just a lot of half ironmans and then IM arizona in
the fall. We have lots of friends doing it. Should be a great race! And good
luck this weekend! cheering for you!
Lindsay
________________________________
you gotta try kombucha on am empty stomach first, and the right flavor. I'd go
for the sweeter ones first and only 4oz at a time. Don't worry, I'll get you
hooked. hehe.. Not going to this race. And I'll give you a hint, its in TX.
hehe.
Lindsay

yes, that totally made me smile and it made my week! and I'm there, pay me in
kombucha and I'll feed you for years!

you too! have a great thursday my fellow trx lover!

I need a Cr, Rolling in the Deep, & Pumped Up Kicks?! You have my playlist!! HaHAHaHA! I remembered to visit you this morning. Once IO ghet to work, my computer tweaks out and the only thing I can see is your pretty face on the top banner (no sc roll bar either?!).
I need to jump on the chia seed bandwagon. I've been seeing & hearing nothing but great things everywhere!
oh ya, it totally takes time to adjust to kombucha. Its actually detoxing your
gut so start off with 4 oz at a time and on a slightly empty stomach. That will
help! Let me know if that works.
Hope you like the strawberry stir fry!
Lindsay
________________________________
oh youre too kind! Glad we share the same love of music. YEA! As for chia seeds,
totally a great ingredient to cook/bake and eat alone. Hop on that bandwagon
Mindy.

oh awesome! load up! Can't wait to hear how your marathon goes. Good luck!
Lindsay

What a wonderful ides to put strawberries into your stir fry! :D Thank you for the music list, so I can check the songs out! I always love to learn what other people listen to for working out, and I often discover great songs that way!
Have a happy day!
never tried trx! can you do a post about it? and i would love to come over for taper week. your food looks so good. especially the breakfast parfait thing-YUM! have a great day and so sorry it has been discombobulated!
that playlist looks awesome! We have TRX at the gym so everyday I'm playing with it and looking through the book trying out all the awesome things you can do with it! i can't believe I am just now starting to use it! They are soo awesome!
Um, yum. That salmon stir fry looks unreal!! I must try it sometime. But for one - the hubs won't touch salmon. Sad times!!
I used to make an amazing mexican pizza in a hollowed out piece of french bread - haven't made it in a while but thank you for reminding me of it.
I love canned salmon (much more affordable than salmon steaks) - I would never have thought to use it in a stir fry! Great idea - it looks delicious!
I am going to Galveston to cheer on a bunch of friends this weekend. Maybe I'll run into ya'll. Good luck to the hubs!
That salmon meal looks so interesting. Strawberry? Very creative. I'd love to try it, but have to get over my fear of canned salmon.
I started using the TRX in January when I started training for National Half marathon, I'm usualy not so good about stregth training, so that cycle I was going to stick to it, and now I'm HOOKED! It's so great! I haven't bought one yet, my gym has them set up, but I think I will cause we have some trips coming up and I don't want to slack, I get totally sore if I take 1 week off of it :)
Thanks for all the beautiful food pics! I literally drool at my desk while reading your blog!
Your spinach boats are totally making me drool. Quite literally I'm embarrassed to say. I'm going to check out your music. I have been needing a new list of songs for my exercises! :)
oh go for it! drool away, I did! need a napkin?
;)
Lindsay

Is it strange that I spend a lot of time just browsing Urban Dictionary? I hope not. Can I have the innards of your boats? ;) Your meals & moves look great for yesterday! Well I don't exactly know if TRX is great but I hear it is!
LOL! me too. Urbany dictionary can be addicting, right? As for TRX, totally
worth it. You can even use in along with the bodyrocl workouts. No gym needed.
Just sayin.....hehe.
p.s.
Hows momma B doing?
Lindsay

Your pictures are so pretty! I love the apples. :)
Yum to CCWIAW. I like that. ;) Kombucha rocks. I need more if it in my life.
TRX! Yes! I've been having my (new *ahem* yay!) clients working with TRX and they love it too. It's definitely wonderful for traveling.
it is hard to believe that it is already time to taper! tell the hubs to rock Galveston! I'l be "watching" & cheering! That Omega Banana Nut Parfait...yum. I might bribe myself to go on the Saturday Smackdown ride with that as post a post ride treat! ;)
ok so I tried the green Kombucha and I couldn't do it. I am loving all the red colors, lol. I drink like 5 oz at a time :)! I like WIAW!
I love the spinanch boat idea. :)
& good luck to your hubby this weekend- I hope he does well on his race!
LOL! I have to admit, the green is not my favorite. Too spirulina "y". Red
colors are great!

songs. hehe.

Great idea with the spinach boats, I hadn't thought of that!
What a great playlist! I love the new Eminem song. Didn't at first, but he can do no wrong ;)
Love your site - must explore!
oh I agree. It totally grew on me. Glad you left your site!
:)

I really just like the crusty edges of baked bread (gluten free bread), so it
worked out making boats, hehe.
Lindsay

Yay for tapering :) I love tapering because all the hard work pays off !
I like your play list too!
Those spinach boats look heavenly! So quick to make and you saved the very best bit of the bread--the crust!
I NEED to make that salmon stir fry....WOW, that looks amazing!! Girl, you are so gorgeous!!! WAHOO for tapering, I can't wait to read about his race!! LOVE the playlist...we are a lot alike:)
Your food always looks so good! I love that cottage cheese filled roll! And I love it when people post their playlists. I always get such good ideas! I would love to try TRX. It's an investment I've thought about several times.
I always think of you when posting my playlists! How fun would it be to co-teach
a class?!?! Ahhh, one day!! Hope you get to run 45 minutes today!! Praying for
healing.
Love,

I had the "Synergy" with me yesterday, but had a major fail when it exploded before I even took off the "safety wrapper." Does that ever happen to you?? I tried to be so careful, but I guess I wasn't careful enough!
LOL! yes, that has happend. Usually when the cashier put the kombucha on its
side or it shuffles around too much. We had the mango flavor explode in our car
once. Smelled for days! gotta be careful with them due to the fermentation.

Hey Lindsay,
I have to say I have missed you. Not any fault of yours, but I have been a slacker on reading my blogger and have a whole weeks worth of posts to read. And I guess I had two questions for you.
1st those Simply Asia Black Bean noodles, I want some, do you know of any online sites that carry them?
2nd The TRX is one of my favorite workouts, I fell in love like 3 years ago when I was seeing a personal trainer and she introduced me to those simple straps. I think I rolled my eyes and laughed at her when she brought them out, then asked for them during every session cause I loved the burn. Anyways that was not my question, the Question is if you don't have a beam to hang them on, is there another non-permanent option? Just curious if you knew.
Thanks Girl! Have a great day!
Penny Lane
Penny!!! So good to hear from you!! Yes, the pasta you can order online.
http://www.amazon.com/Organic-Black-Bean-Spaghetti-Case/dp/B004JXXVFU
and for the TRX, you can easily hook it up to your door. THere is a door stopper
for it. Brilliant, eh? It all comes in one set. Let me know if you buy it!
Oh and hows school?
Lindsay
