Another beautiful day spent inside at the gym…for the love of Duke Basketball.
I got to the gym a little earlier than game time because I wasn’t sure if the gym had the TruTV channel (it did). That way if they didn’t, I could still get in a short workout. If they did, I could stay and watch the game for a bit.
I only had energy to stay ’til halftime though.
I completed 60 min. elliptical, 25 min. treadmill walking, and 10 min. upper body strength training.
My recent basketball-induced workouts may seem a bit long but keep in mind I don’t really move much all day (read: sit in front of the computer). I’m just making up for lost daily activity!
I came home and immediately made a Pumpkin Pie Green Smoothie. I added a scoop of Very Green Powder to the original mix today.
My favorite tumbler…how fitting!
Can you say brain freeze?!
While watching the game at the gym, the commentator kept saying “Funches.” I couldn’t hear very well due to the noise from the machine and just kept reading “Funches” in the caption. I kept thinking to myself, what is FUNCHES?!
Is this like fetch? Stop trying to make “funches” happen!
…it was the last name of a basketball player on the opposing team 
.
Dinner
Shrimp ‘n’ Hummus Salad
Pan-fried shrimp, roasted red pepper hummus, and tomato slices on a bed of spring mix
On the side, whole wheat wrap points.
Like pita points…wrap points!
The hummus made for a fabulous salad dressing.
We are all out of oranges so I ate a grapefruit.
A super sweet pink grapefruit!
I got a question the other day regarding the reason for my daily orange. Well, we’ve been getting a case of delicious oranges from Costco fairly regularly so it just became my go-to fruit. I’m allergic to a lot of convenient fruits i.e. apples, pears, peaches, kiwi, etc., so citrus is my friend.
Daily apple…Daily orange!
Dessert was a cup of GoLean Crunch cereal and a chunk of white chocolate. Still on the lookout for something else. I might do some baking tonight!
Have a great weekend!
Tell me: Is there one food you eat every single day? Have you ever made up a word and used it successfully?
When I was younger, I used to say “zazi” a lot. Like, “This rug feels so zazi.” “My throat is zazi.” Meaning fuzzy, rough, itchy and just strange!

I always make up words but they never last long :/ and I go through major phases with food…one day is cereal every day and the next its popcorn…
I always eat a banana everyday! I was so sad that my old school Villanova lost in the first round. It was so exciting to see them in the final four 2 years ago too.
yeah me too…ruined my already ruined bracket!
oh wow, your dinner looks INCREDIBLE allie, i’m a serious lover of shrimp. i need to get me some, it’s been awhile.
sometimes, grapefruit is needed in life
I eat an apple every single day (and, except for routine check-ups, it does definitely keep the doctor away
And I have a friend that makes up all kinds of words….my favorite would have to be “sturdevant,” which means “generally awesome, swell, and/or nifty.”
Hummus was made for a salad topping. And pizza topping, and egg topping and just about anything topping.
I’m having cereal for dessert too. Great minds think alike.
I eat an apple at least once a day! I didn’t know you were allergic to them, now I feel like an ass rubbing it in! Haha
Now I’m craving an apple, THANKS A LOT!! Haha JK I’m used to it. My uncle eats 2 apples every single morning.
hahaha, I made upi a word today- delated. It was between delayed and belated. I fumbled around with it for a while before just stick to it.
I don’t think I have ever made up any words — and if I did, thankfully I forgot about them
That grapefruit looks so good! I love citrus — I’d rather have an orange than an apple!
Way to go on the workout! Sounds intense! I have so many staples that I eat everyday…a few are: greek yogurt, apples, ORANGES, sweet potatoes, bananas, and salads!
I’m allergic to those same raw fruits! It was a sad day when I discovered I could no longer eat peaches which were my favorite. I eat a piece of dark chocolate every day with my coffee.
i eat hummus. every.single.day. and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
Even though it gives my tummy the rumblies, I have Greek Yogurt every single day with a side of Lactaid (ha, ha!) I also have my daily apple, handful of almonds, and some type of granola to go along with it. it’s the perfect lunch!
I love your salad with shrimpies and hummus!!!!! yummy!!! I eat a apple pretty much everyday! I could eat ice cream every day and be in heaven ; )
Haha, love your picture of toasting to the Blue Devils!
I’m pretty sure I eat cottage cheese everyday.
Mmm, I just had a craving for shrimp earlier today, and this post did not help!!
Have a great weekend, Allie!
mmm, that salad looks soo good!
I eat oatmeal and bananas every day!
Go Duke!
I would say I have lemons and chia seeds every day! And probably coconut!!
Lemons? Straight up?! Or juiced? I’m not that brave
Haha, funches. Well, it should mean something!
I make up words all the time—most of them are just dumb, or variations of a real word!
The pumpkin green smoothie (minus the brain freeze!) sounds great!
A food that I eat daily is greek yogurt! And I also tend to (almost) eat an apple a day.
I eat banana and peanut butter everyday! It’s the perfect combo!
P.S. Your salads always look so pretty!
I eat an apple and Justins chocolate almond butter everyday after my workout! so yummy!
When I was little I made up the word “pompy” to describe my grandma’s hair! So strange haha
Withuot fail, I eat oats and an apple a day…2 foods I couldn’t live without , good thing they’re healthy!
and peanut butter- d’oh!
I eat 1 banana and 1 apple every single day.
I feel lost without them
Wait, how did I not know you’re allergic to apples? I feel like I did, but forgot. Ironic, since I eat an apple every day!! I also eat cereal most days, of course
i eat an apple almost everyday!
I don’t think there’s anything I eat rather regularly, I like the spice of life =)
That grapefruit looks good, i have NEVER had a grapefruit!! I eat alot of the same things everyday.. typically my breakfast and lunch dont change just my dinner! I always eat oatmeal and carnation for breakfast. I always have a kids z bar for snack and mixed nuts… just to name a few!
I eat a banana everyday. At least you’re not allergic to those!
I probably eat eggs just about every day. I love them! When it comes to fruit, I probably eat an apple just about every day.
I eat an apple every day. I love the varieties and they can be put in meals or eaten as dessert. I learned this when living abroad where “postre” dessert is actually fruit. Cake and other goodies are rare treats.
Now I was thinking it was going to be fun lunches, not a last name!
I love red grapefruit. Instead of cutting it in half I’ve been peeling it like an orange and eating it that way. Works perfetctly!
That shrimp salad looks glorious!
I eat bread every day, lol. It’s my favorite!
Nut butter…every day!
I don’t really make up words, but recently a friend brought something to my attention: I add -age to the end of a lot of words, ie. food-age, plate-age, phone-age. At first, I was like “really? where did that come from?” Then I realized the other day that my dad does the same thing! Haha!
I don’t think I have ever had a Grapefruit before. Since it effects my mom’s Thyroid medicine, we don’t buy them. Would you suggest I get a couple so I can try them? Or do you prefer Oranges over them.

Sometimes grapefruits can be super sour…I wouldn’t want you to try them and get traumatized! Maybe try one and if it’s sour…PROMISE you’ll try another.
