Sunburn is karma for forgetting my camera


Ok I failed yesterday. I had every intention of bringing my camera to the beach in Tahoe and taking some glorious photos, but I forgot it in the car. 
I did have a fruit and yogurt parfait, hash-brown and coffee from McDonald's though. It was ok I suppose.
Before heading up to the beach I did grab some Food Should Taste Good Sweet Potato chips, Stacy's Parmesan and Garlic Pita Chips, and some Greek Hummus for the beach. It was quite the delicious lunch/snack. The bf and I did some reading, laughed at other people's dogs, and got our fair share of sunburn. Fail again.
Later that evening we were invited to a Reno Ace's baseball game. Fun times. 
I had never been to a baseball game prior to last night and so it was a whole new world. 
We enjoyed some Blue Moons, hot dogs, potato chips, and chicken tenders. Healthy: not really. But it was a fun evening. 
See what I mean about sunburn though!
This morning I rose up and made a light breakfast:
1/2 c fat free cottage cheese
5 strawberries
Drizzle of sugar free syrup
Plus coffee in my other Ariel mug
I headed off to the gym and did 35 minutes on the elliptical and 25 on the bike. It felt glorious after taking all last week off. I swear I have no idea what hit me last week but it is very unlike me to take that much time away from the gym. I also grabbed a Muscle & Fitness Hers magazine while working out. I found a really sweet strength training schedule that I'm going to do along with my 1/2 marathon training. 
When I got home from the gym it was lunch time! I had:
Chickpea burger I made last week
left over roasted veggies
Then Trader Joe's was calling my name for a stock up.
I also roasted more veggies...
And then celebrated my new groceries with a green monster.
1 c vanilla almond milk
2 c spinach
1/2 frozen banana
5 frozen strawberries
Truvia packet
1/2 scoop Vanilla protein powder
2 handfuls of ice

Before:
After:
Now it's time to do laundry, sweep and mop my floors, and relax of course.

Pow-Wows and Double Rainbows

The Pow Wow was nothing like I expected it to be. I would have taken more/better pictures but I felt intrusive. This is the view from a distance.
This is closer to the pow wow circle...
It was certainly a unique experience. I really enjoyed it! Except for the fact that I got bitten by mosquitos and covered in dust. I almost pulled a "When in Rome..."i.e. eating Fry Bread because I was amongst Native Americans, but I couldn't get Jillian Michaels out of my head. "This stuff is killing you!" (Excellent Losing It episode by the way).
So it's off to Lake Tahow to lounge on the beach with the bf. But I leave you with a YouTube video which has been entertaining me lately:
