Happy Thursday! You’re almost to the weekend! And my vacation is almost over… 🙁
I’ve been having a great time here in Colorado with my parents and I’ve been getting in some great eats and exercise!
My first full day here I started out late since I’d gotten in past midnight the night before. After sleeping in a bit and being lazy, I whipped up some apple cinnamon oats!
I chopped up an apple and microwaved half of it. I made up a bowl of regular oats (1/3 C water, 1/3 C almond milk, 1/3 C oats) and added plenty of cinnamon, then added in the microwaved apples. When it was done cooking I added a T of peanut butter and the second half of the apple on top.
It was so delicious! I love apple cinnamon oats but I rarely make them! I need to add these back into the breakfast mix.
After breakfast I headed to the gym and ran 3 slow miles, and then completed on of my circuit workouts from Tina’s bootcamp! Luckily the gym had everything I needed. Afterwards, I headed home and my parents and I went to Whole Foods for lunch! They never knew you could get lunch there, so I walked them around the store and we picked up lunch. My dad got the salad bar, my mom got a sandwich, and I got a salad with a side of berries and grapes:
It was actually my parents’ anniversary that day! Don’t worry, they’d celebrated on Saturday. I just thought it was funny that I was joining them on their anniversary, just the three of us! Haha
For dinner, we made some white fish that we’d bought at Whole foods, with a sautéed veggie mix of orange pepper, yellow squash, onion and fingerling potatoes. The fish was pretty bland, but the veggies were so good!
And check out the view from our dinner table! You can’t see it too well, but Pikes Peak is beyond those darker hills!
I can never get over how gorgeous it is here! I was driving around today running some errands and I just had to snap a picture!
Last night, my parents and I went to the Golden Bee for dinner, my favorite place to eat out here in Colorado Springs! I didn’t take any pictures because 1) I’m on vacation and can’t be expected to remember and 2) I was SO HUNGRY. No time for photos. But you can see my recap from January of the Golden Bee here.
After the Golden Bee I introduced my parents to self serve frozen yogurt. They’d never done it before and it was so fun to take them. Going through using sample cups, picking a flavor, adding toppings and paying by weight was hilarious and fun. They enjoyed it, too! Soon I will convert everyone into a self serve frozen yogurt lover…
Anyone left out there that hasn’t eaten at Whole Foods or gotten self serve frozen yogurt!? I urge you to change that now!!!
Where is one place that you’ve been that you could just not believe how pretty it always was?
