Running Shoes and Donuts: It's been a while, not feeling like myself...

So Wes pointed out to me that I hadn't written anything in a while. It was more of a "have you written lately?" and I had the realization that I hadn't. It had just been slipping my mind. Or felt I had not much to say. Possibly a combination of both. I did however take a few pics over the past week so I thought I would share.

Meet one of my cats, Linus. He likes to help out with yoga. Rolling around on the mat is his specialty.

His next specialty is giving me kisses.

This dish is one of my go to not-feeling-like-making-a-big-ordeal-out-of-dinner-want-something-kind-of-light. I know, pasta is not light, but if you don't eat a ton of it, and with the right sauce or add ins it can be. Here I have spinach with cherry tomatoes that have been halved then sauteed in a bit of olive oil and butter to make a sauce, then shrimp is added (adding in some of the water from the shrimp too) and pasta that is nearly cooked though. Finish off the pasta in the skillet with all the other ingredients. So good.

Really enjoying my new treadmill. Took this the other day. I'm still learning a lot of the programs and playing around with the incline. I'm really glad I have it. I think my elliptical is getting jealous though.

Another meal pic. This was salmon that I baked in the oven with "smashed" red potatoes and green beans. The Man was a little leery when I told him what my plan for the red potatoes were, but he ended up really enjoying them. I'm glad too because it's one of my favorite ways to make red potatoes.

This picture makes me a little sad. Look at all that watermelon! And it was a really good sweet one too! The fresh pineapple and honeydew were also excellent. Here's why the picture makes me sad. I had went ahead and cut up the entire watermelon with the intention of making watermelon sorbet because I knew Wes and I were not going to be able to eat it all before it went bad since little B doesn't care for watermelon. Travesty I know! Well, I waited a bit to long and checked out the big container this morning, and it had an off smell, and tasted a bit weird. Not at all like I knew it should. Sad, sad day.
