I got in a 40 minute elliptical workout and refueled with a shrimp salad with pear gorgonzola dressing.
Dinner tonight was another Hello Fresh recipe by Jamie Oliver. Jamie's Baked Sweet Potatoes with Grated Salad and Sticky Seeds was much more prep work than some of the other recipes but the taste combination was truly unique. What you can't see in the picture is the bottom layer which is actually the sweet potato. Spread on top of the sweet potato was yogurt seasoned with lemon zest, turmeric and cumin. Another layer included the shaved salad consisting of red onion, carrot, radishes, a beet and an apple. The final ingredient besides the arugula you see was the sticky seeds: pumpkin and sunflower seeds mixed with some maple syrup.
And who can forget dessert? Tonight's treat was Chocolate Chip Chickpea Brownies from the Cleanfoodcrush website. Wow, a super moist brownie with just enough sweetness to curb the cravings. Even the teenage daughter had to admit she liked them!!
Sunday Summary
I ended the week with 14.81 running miles, a 3 mile walk and 40 minutes on the elliptical. It was not as good a training week as I would have liked, but being away at a conference for three days took a toll. We will hope for better next week, especially getting back to incorporating some strength workouts into the routine.
This weeks's accomplishments:
1. I recorded a .6 pound weight loss.
2. I met my personal goal of meeting the 10,000 Fitbit steps four times this week.
3. The Christmas decorations are just about put away!
