This was going to be a 1,000 words post but I wanted to chit-chat instead! :biggrin:
This is a shot from Alberta today…can you believe it?
I can!
Last June when I went to AB it snowed on JUNE 6th (my sister’s birthday of all days too!).
Thank you for your great suggestions on this morning’s wedding before race post! I will be telling you what my game plan is tomorrow! You gave me so many great ideas. I feel really good about it now.
I am getting caught up slowly but surely today. I feel so much better than I did yesterday and not as overwhelmed. I am getting caught up on orders, business calls, interviewing (1 more to go this afternoon), and some Farmer’s Market tasks today. I almost have a clear inbox which has not happened in over a month. There is no better feeling!
Lunch was awesome today too. Since we have had our heat wave all I want are salads, juices, fruits, and other light foods! The heat really impacts the way I eat. I have no desire for anything hot.
Mammoth salad contained: 1 cup chickpeas, salsa, 1 chopped tomato, 2 organic romaine hearts, 1/2 cucumber, sea salt and black pepper, and my better than balsamic salad dressing.
Perfecto!
Along with a juicy grapefruit…
Afternoon snack will be a High Protein Renew Glo Bar:
The video finally uploaded after a week!
[PS- Gena’s name is pronounced ‘JENNA’ and not ‘GEE-NA’ like I said. So sorry Gena!]
Happy Memorial Long Weekend to my American readers! Be safe and have fun.
I heard they have snow in Northern California right now, too. Absolutely crazy! It’s gorgeous here to today. Overcast and humid but really comfortable temperature-wise.
Haha Canadian weather is crazy! I’m so glad I’m in the heat wave right now and not in that snow storm. ;)

I loved seeing the video! You are so personable. I loved all the notes you made in the video. The “tripod fail” one made me laugh.
You are so adorable! I love videos in posts! Thanks for making one!
Love your video! :)
And I’m also diggin’ that big salad today…YUMM!
Yeah… guess what I’m eating tonight- Soup! I live in Calgary, AB.. haha!
Where in Alberta was that picture taken?!?
What is the nutritional content of the Glo-Bars? I was trying to find them on the website, but I couldn’t find it. I don’t think I was looking in the right place.
Here ya go! http://www.globakery.com/images/RENEW.jpg
The nutr. info is linked on each bar’s page. It is a bit hard to see though as it is just a link.
In the high protein there is 11 grams of protein btw.
Thanks ladies! I always feel like a huge dork when posting videos haha
Oh man, I’m so warm today I’m almost wishing I was in Alberta! lol
Okay I don’t feel so bad then…I’ve been complaining about the never-ending RAIN here in Oregon but at least it’s not SNOWING here!!!
I can’t believe you have snow. I think I wouldn’t have left that house if it did that here in NY. I love the video and all the still shots you included too! Thanks for sharing that :)
I feel bad complaining about California weather. It has been low 60’s here and we all are complaining because it is cold. I have nothing to complain about after seeing that picture.
my birthday is June 9th, and it isn’t rare to sometimes get snow in Sask. but i almost ALWAYS have rain on my birthday however. Boo-
Your video is so cute! thanks!
What kind of oats do you use tho? are they “quick oats” can you use them or does it make a difference?
Regular oats :) Bobs red mill
That video is too cute! And that recipe is super simple and awesome! I need to get my hands on some chia seeds.
WHAAATTT!!! That snow!!
Also that is my FAVORITE salad combo, salsa+chick peas on greens. So. Good. So filling and refreshing at the same time! And grapefruit! Yum! Can I come for lunch :)
Thanks for the post! I was wondering do you peel your banana before putting it in the freezer? When I’ve tried freezing bananas with the peel on they just get stuck!
Yes I peel them…at first I didnt but I learned that lesson fast! haha
I can’t wait to try this recipe! I’ve been wanting to make overnight oats for the past few days but I keep forgetting to make them the night before :-P. Anyways, love your videos!
I would cry if I saw snow here. Love the video!
i had some leftover chickpeas and made some hummus. so good. in anything!
