That being said, I also managed to take pictures of food Wednesday! woohoo! Cheers all around please!! Trust me, this whole computer thing has thrown me for a loop, so small accomplishments totally MAKE MY DAY! As they should, right Heather? hehe.
Its WIAW and WIWW. It’s also 103F outside and when that happens, the Cotters crave two things……
SPICY FOOD and ICE COLD food/drinks. Sweat it out and slurp it up!
So here goes.

GF Cheesy Protein Bread with cottage cheese and chipotle mustard
Turkey Avocado Sandwich on GF bread (udi’s) with fruit salad and nut butter dressing.
Yes, I use nut butter as dressing!
My COLD COLD BEVERAGE of CHOICE
Lara Love
Spicy lentil, rice, and beef stir fry (other veggies are hidden under there somewhere)
and spinach blueberry salad
And last but not least DESSERT…..
Mint chocolate chip ice cream drooling down my face. It was so hot out that our ice cream was melting faster than we could lick it. Was it gluten free? no! Did I care at the time? NO!!
So worth the CREAMY ICE COLD goodness in my belly.

oh it ain’t over yet…..
WIWW (What I worked Wednesday)
Last week I brought back my outdoor conditioning class at the gym. All outside, limited equipment, lots of SWEAT! We jogged to a park, did a circuit routine, then jogged back. I’d say we had our fair share of fun…..once we finished it that is!
Sweat and Run Outdoor Fun
(like that title?)
- 25 reps of each
- reverse lunge off curb (25 each leg)
- push ups on curb
- prisoner squats (deep squat past 90 degrees with hands behind head)
- snowboarders (see here)
- tricep dips off curb
- scissor kicks sitting on edge of curb
- reverse lunge off curb (25 each leg)
- Run quarter mile loop around neighborhood
Walk or jog back to gym/home/etc.
I think I need another ice cream just for completing this post.
What food cooled you off today? I know half will say watermelon. That’s a given!
Cheers!

Nut butter as a dressing? I salute you.
I am drooling over that fruit salad with nut butter! Looks great! Your stir fry looks pretty tasty too!
One time I stored a Kombucha in a weird place in my fridge and it got just the right amount of icy...it was AMAZING. ICE COLD, baby. (Probably killed some bacteria but all's well.)
Bring on the heat. We can take it.
Cantaloupe cooled me off today!! Your WIAW eats look lovely. Nut butter seems like a DELICIOUS dressing :D
Yum yum yum!!! I just bought that Larabar flavor but haven't tried it yet.
I want to be a part of your outdoor conditioning class!! NOTHING is better than ice cream in summer:) LOVE turkey and avocado sandwiches so so much! Mango-coconut bisque....sign me up!! Hope you are having an amazing day gorgeous girl!
I think you need another ice cream too :D
And ohhh my goodness I never could deal with spicy food..especially spicy southern Texas food!...when it was hot as blazes. I think the entire time I lived in San Antonio all I ate was ice cream ;-) haha
haha, born and raised with spicy food. You could adjust. haha.

Awesome workout!!!!!
And all of your food looks delicious!!! I put some yogurt in the freezer to have today as a snack! :D
SO jealous of the ice cream - it's all I want to sooth this sort throat of mine that's REALLY bugging me. Feeling like I'm coming down with something but MUST resist it. NOT SICK. See? Being an optimist - let's hope it works and I wake up tomorrow good as new!! Love your eats today, they look SO GOOD!!
I always use sunbutter or tahini straight up as dressing...on EVERYTHING. No shame. :)
You are so cute with your icecream!!
I ate ice cream today as well. I ate a flurry with buckeyes in it. It is only appropriate since I do live in the BUCKEYE state!! I def. didnt run today. I wasnt feeling it, and now I wish I had of worked out since I ate ice cream :( It was a rather dull day in Ohio today, so I def. didnt need the ice cream, but I was totally feeling it tho.
I had icecream just about 20 min ago, it's amazing! summertime staple.
That also looks like an awesome workout, and all the food looks DELICIOUS as usual!!
I had a very large glass of kombucha today...always hits the spot on a hot day
oh sweet! summer time staple for sure. what flavor?
Lindsay
________________________________
whats a flurry with buckeyes?? Do tell!

So I was reading the workout details and thought - wow, that sounds like an intense workout but I think I could totally do that...then I got to the bottom and read "Repeat 4x". Lol... how do you even have energy to type after that? Wow! :)
yey for your wonderful pics! :) I don't blame you for being happy given what tech problems have surfaced lately! mmm ice cream. I just got back from dinner with my buddy and can't decide whether I want ice cream or a protein muffin of some sort. It's only 60 degrees here! :P
I LOVE your workout! I am going to keep all of those moves in mind for when I just want to do my strength training outside in the sunshine! :)
Unfortunately there was no need to cool of here today, I'm not sure it even hit 70. Instead we warmed up cooking in the kitchen which can get hard to do when it's really hot here, a perfect way to spend the rainy evening.
The weather cooled me off today. It was cold and rainy. I went to the gym, which was really really hard to motivate to do and then slept all afternoon. Cooling off was not an issue.
Oh my goodness this post made me laugh out loud! First of all, all of your food choices for the day look AMAZING. I am going to try the almond butter dressing as a side dish. Love that idea! I cannot consume enough AB these days. High-Fives to the ice cream as well. I'm going to stop by to pick some up tomorrow night after work. Desperately craving some fro-yo with a sinful topping. Have a great night! xoxo
Whoops, I meant 4x max. Even one time would be awesome!
i mixed up cottage cheese, greek yogurt, & cold egg whites - yes it sounds weird, but it was delicious & cooling! :)
I want your weather! Tough call on the snack. Maybe a little of both, eh?
Is nick back yet? Hope so!
<3
LC
Sounds good to me! Refreshing.
;)
Your meal creations always look delicious and PACKED with all the important vitamins and nutrients. You really are a Nutrition Manager supreme! I've been eating an insane amount of almond butter. I can't get enough. My favorite is with bananas, but I need to drizzle it over a mixed fruit salad, too.
me and my brother and sister split a dessert chimichanga with vanilla ice cream inside tonight...it was AMAZING. and the perfect way to cool off! yum! I am loving your food choices today...always look so delicious :)
Mmmm, ice cream....I could eat it any time, any place.
I had a coconut water that was very refreshing today, but it WAS only 70 degrees here...sweltering I know.
Love to see that lovely smile, hope you and your main squeeze are having happy days this week.
Oh goodness...now I want ice cream! :)
Uh, the Dove dark chocolate ice cream bar I just savored did a great job of cooling me down and taking the edge off a rough afternoon. In the heat of the day, however, I like a big (non sweet) iced tea. Lots and lots of ice. Extra points if it is sonic ice. :)
Whoo 103! So necessary to have ice cream on a day like that- no matter what!
Those are my favorite types of workouts. Lately I haven't been doing much cardio- only circuits with some plyo- just love them. Prisoner squats? Never done those! 103? ugh! I think it got to 63 today at the coast. Brrr. But tomorrow I head to the desert and I think it's about 105. Best of both worlds?? Your bisque- it looks suspiciously like a smoothie! ;-)
Man I want to come to your classes SO BADLY!! They sound like SO much fun!! And I'm jealous of your heat!! Its not even sunny here, what's new?! :P
And ice cream is the BEST for cooling down!! And mint chic chip is definitely one of my faves!! I LOVE your WIAWs!! :D
forget the desert, come here. humidity and 103F. Does wonders for the skin!
haha. Can I lure you with endless bowls of smoothies? Or perhaps endless goblets
of wine?
;)
Lindsay

I like when you do WIAW! Drool-worthy. I think I can always have room for ice cream - that's pretty much my motto for the summer.
I love that smile on your face! We definitely have to enjoy every moment we can and we don't always have to be grown up about it! Your eats look amazing! I hope you have a great day today Lindsay!
I can't believe it is SOO Stinkin hot there already. I would probably be living on icecream. You are absolutely adorable and all of your food always looks so Yummy! Good luck beating the heat. :)
oh ya, sweet tea for sure. With peaches maybe? By the way, I commented on you

humidity here. ha!
glad you got your butt to the gym though.
;)
Lindsay

how can it be?? I thought you guys were near 100 the other day? weird. But take
the cool weather and enjoy free AC. haha.
Lindsay

Your food photos are so totally gorgeous - made me HUNGRY! We're finally getting warm weather here - and it sounds like y'all need a break from the crazy heat! I'm just started to enjoy it!
I do have a blog. It is haveyourwaywithme.blogspot.com
I can't get over how awesome that bisque looks!!! Looking at the recipe right now :)
haha! I have visions of you getting funny looks from passers-by as you bash-out some exercises on the curb!
oh. my. gosh. do I have a genius recipe for you coming up! no idea why, but when I was making it I was burning to tell you... probably to get my own back for your Larabar love/ references that I can't buy anymore! :-p
nice workout! sounds like a tough one! I love doing workouts outside it makes it so much more enjoyable!
What a great and resourceful workout! The weather here is cool and dreary lately (gotta love June at the beach), but I crave spicy food and cool smoothies/kombucha/ice cream no matter the temps outside!
I'm so gld the spamming problem got better! (Sooooo annyoing! :O) Actually, I look forward to your WIAW posts every week, because they never disaapoint me - I always see something totally delicious! Like the dinner stir fry today. In fact, the biisque and bread I'd seen before, otherwise I would have to name them as well! :D
Look at you gettin your curb workout on! I love when I can get a good workout even without going to the gym. That ice cream pick is adorable! And I need to try your breakfast bisque, it looks awesome!
gosh I can't even imagine it being so hot!! Here it was around 80° tops today and that's too hot for me!! I don't think you spammed me, which is good.
that breakfast is amazing- is it as thick and creamy as it looks? and nut butter is SO a topping. No reason why it can only be a spread. I use it as a dip and a drizzle, you name it!
Wow, your WIAW looks amazing! I need to step it up if I'm ever going to participate in WIAW, lol! That stir fry looks fab!
oh girl you dinner eats are totally WIAW worthy!
Lindsay

Wow.. way to go on the workout in that heat.. that's hot! That's great you treated yourself to an ice cream.. that never hurts now does it :)
Sorry to hear about your computer.. tech problems are no fun but its nice when you have a friend to fix it! Glad to be back and hear how are you doing :)
WIAW and WIWW makes me wish every single week I lived in Austin! well it makes me wish I lived next door to you- wherever you would be! ;) those eats are yummy! I'm lovin the blueberries too right now too but mine never make it to be incorporated to a meal...I eat them too fast. hehehe
some day we need a WIAW together. How cool would that be? and of course a glass
of Riesling!
Lindsay

I'd kill for some 80F weather right now. I think thats our low.ha ha, sad!
Lindsay
________________________________

:P
Lindsay

weather!
Lindsay
________________________________
oh I know you like this kind of workout! A good sweat fest indeed.
Youre hard core!
Lindsay
________________________________
oh what is the recipe?? I'm dying to know!
Lindsay
________________________________
Deal!
WHY haven't I thought of using nut butter as dressing?! you're so smart. :)
I LOVEYOUR WORKOUT!! did you run 4 miles total or just repeat the exercises not the running? 103 degrees!!! holy shmokes!
The loops were only quarter mile so it was a mile warm up, a mile total between
sets, and then you can the option of a mile cool down. So 3 miles. But for some
non runners, I'd advise only the 2 miles. You totally can take up though to
however many miles. Just depends on how hard you want to go, ya know?
I bet you'd love it!
Lindsay
