holy mother of god

Group Fit tonight kicked my ass…. well, not so much my ass but my arms. The devil Carolyn had us doing push ups with our feet on the wall. Dude. Try it. Its brutal!

Onto the food aspect of my day. My dear friend Adam and I were corresponding via email today, we the topic of Harvey’s Veggie Burgers came up somehow. All day I had been craving one. My route home from Group Fit takes me right past Harveys.

It took every ounce of will power in my very being not to turn in. We’re on a bit of a budget these days (albeit, I spent $70 at MAC and $50 at Aldo today, I SUCK!) and I hate spending money on takeout.

I made this tasty little gem when I arrived home; one of my favorites: TACO SALAD.

Extra lean ground beef, homemade guac, old cheddar, crushed multi-grain tostitos, ff sour cream on a bed of baby romaine, peppers, cucumbers.

Tossed in salsa, rather than dressing.

IMG_3585For dessert: yogurt, with a sprinkle of granola and orange wedges.

Another great day for me. Woooo!

Good gord. I am going to pass on the pushups :)

They sound like hell on arms!!

I can't even do one normal one and I am not that good at the girly ones lol.

Ok I know the push ups were crazy - butyou guys all did variations of them - I couldn't believe it! It wasn't planned, just one of those things that popped in my head. ;)
Home made taco salad is my fave!
CC. ;)

Harvey's veggie hamburgers are pretty good, aren't they? Good for you on pushing past that craving and making something even better!

Thanks for reminding me that I love a good taco salad. I haven't made one in ages. Will have to put that on the menu for next week. Yum! (I usually use veggie ground round instead of beef to lower the calories. With taco seasoning, I find I don't miss the beef).

The push ups sound brutal but no pain no gain right? Taco salad...now that looks great! Good on you for not giving into temptation at Harvey's!

Lisa said...

Pushup's against the wall are great. I can't do regular one's so these are a great alternative.
