Hi friends! Happy Saturday!
Our Saturday has been good so far—good, but COLD!!! It was only 10 degrees here when we got up this morning!
I rolled out of bed, toasted up some millet bread with almond butter and bananas, and crawled back under the covers to enjoy my breakfast!
As has become my routine for the last few weeks, I wrote for about an hour and a half, caught up on blogs, and then, around 10:15, we headed out for some indoor exercise!
I’m super excited because our gym is introducing a boot camp class, starting February 15th! I’ve never taken boot camp before, but it sounds intense! I can’t wait!
My gym workout was the usual mix of weights and cardio…yada, yada, yada. 
When we got back, I made some more green juice. Luckily, it was a more pleasant experience than last week’s juice from hell. That juice kept me away from the juicer all week, but finally today I was ready to give it another go! This time, I kept it simple (as Michael Scott says, Keep it simple, stupid): cucumber, dandelion greens, and ginger.
This week, I was on my own with the juice—Ryan turned his nose up at my offer to share it with him! Fine—more enzymes for me! This combo was actually pretty good. It went down smooth, and the ginger flavor came through nicely. It didn’t taste like dirty socks, so…success! Maybe keeping the ingredients to a minimum is key to a good juice.
I graded for about an hour, and then we headed down for some lunch.
Lunch started out as nachos with Food Should Taste Good “the works” chips, pinto beans, and Follow Your Heart cheddar, but it kind of turned into a taco salad.
Nacho (vegan) cheese:
Not Yo Cheese!!!!
You can’t see it, but there really is a mountain of chips and cheese under there. It was delicious!
Anywho.
This afternoon is pretty much wide open. I might head to TJ Maxx…peruse the dishware aisle…see what I can find.
If I’m feeling virtuous, I might do some more writing.
Or I might watch a Lifetime movie. You just never know.
One thing I DO have on my “to do” list is to write my Vegan challenge recap, along with the unveiling of February’s challenge! Very exciting stuff!
Hope you’re having a great Saturday. Later, gators!

Aww I love breakfast in bed
. It’s so much fun (as long as there won’t be any crumbles in my bed, hehe).
Oh man I want to go to a bootcamp class even though I’m pretty sure that I’d regret it after 5 minutes. Too bad there aren’t any classes in my local gyms.

Glad you had juice success! I don’t know if I could have handled all the enzymes like you did! Breakfast sounds great- where do you get millet bread?

I love Food Should Taste Good chips. Have you ever had the Jalepeno ones? They’re by far the best of the flavors!

Can’t wait for the recap!
You should definitely do the bootcamp class! I did one for a few months last year and LOVED it.

How great are Lifetime movies? I love them on the weekends. And TJ Maxx too.
That place is addicting.
