Jump Around

Loving this weather!  It was so sunny and mild!  A great day for the daughters to have off from school;  I knew we had to get out later and enjoy the sun:)

We had a relaxing morning with a late breakfast.  Despite the spring-like weather, I had cravings for a fall flavor – apple pie!  This was one tasty yogurt bowl.  In the mix…

  • 1 cup plain nonfat greek yogurt (TJ’s brand)
  • 1 gala apple, diced
  • 1/4 tsp. apple pie spice
  • 1/4 cup Special K granola

I warmed the spiced apples in the microwave for 1 minute before adding to the yogurt, then topped it with the granola.  Mmmm…apple pie in a bowl…

We let breakfast digest, then got dressed and headed out into the bright sunshine.  Yay, vitamin D!

While big daughter practiced some basketball, little daughter and I had some fun on the trampoline.  I haven’t been on it in such a long time.  I decided to make ‘trampoline jumping’ my workout for today.  Little daughter and I searched the internet for some workout routines for the trampoline.  I found this one and thought I would try out some of the moves…

 

It was such a blast!  And hard!  The whole Tuck-Daffy- Daffy thing was brutal!!

Little daughter thought I was hilarious…

Thank God the neighbors couldn’t see me ;)

So, after our 45 minute jump-a-thon, we needed some food.  I really wanted a chili-dog.  I have no idea why.  I don’t think I’ve ever eaten a chili-dog in my life, but for some reason, today was the day!  So glad I did;  it was great! 

I picked up this Amy’s Black Bean Chili the other day to try…

This chili was amazing!  It will definitely be a pantry staple from now on.

I used 1/2 cup chili to top an Applegate Farms Organic Uncured Beef Hotdog on an Ezekiel Hot Dog Bun .  I sprinkled 1 oz. Cabot’s 75% reduced fat cheddar for the finishing touch.  A side of carrots was all I needed for this hearty, messy and super delicious lunch…

Later in the afternoon, the daughters and I snuggled up for a movie and some popcorn…

Then, I got to baking more Chocolate Cranberry Chia Muffin Tops since my stash was gone…

I snacked a little on a muffin top and batter (counting those BLT’s!).

Dinner was pretty basic… turkey breast with a parmesan peppercorn sauce, broccoli and mashed taters…

It has been YEARS since I jumped on a trampoline – something tells me that I’m missing a good time. It must feel incredibly free. Note to self – do not look at your blog when I first wake up -makes my tummy growl from all your food pics :-)

That looks like fun! Unfortunately, after snapping a ligament off my left ankle in 2001, my jumping days are over. But I would love to try it sometime if I didn’t think it would do more damage. Great fun activity to do with the family.

I’ve never tried a trampoline…but I love Amy’s Organic products. Their burritos are the perfect lunch.

I wanna jump on that thing and then eat some popcorn.

I know a girl who broke her leg on the trampoline. And thenn left for a week long vacation at a Florida beach. And she got a bunch of sand in her cast. <— it wasn't me.
