Makin it Quick–Gotta Spin & BSI Reminder

WELL it’s official—I love spinning! I took another class Sunday, Tuesday, going again tonight and hoping to make those my regular Spinning days. I’m still getting used to the whole process; how much resistance I need, how fast I should be going, and I’ve been called out on my bouncing (need to work on that.) Overall I think they’re all things I can work on so I can improve my technique. I just love the way I feel when I’m done with the class, always a big sweaty mess!

It’s been a very busy week  so this is going to quick. I’m working out a schedule and hopefully things will settle down a bit so I can make something a little more exciting than veggies! lol But they ARE delicious! In this mix:

  • Squash
  • Zucchini
  • Mushrooms
  • Onion
  • Bell Pepper
  • Brussels Sprouts
  • Eggplant

Can we say veggie OVERLOAD?! I made some new ones and threw in the rest of the roasted veggies from Sunday, SO good! :)

The Boo tried tried to re-create another amazing flavor from Food Should Taste Good–the Sweet Potato chips are so incredibly delicious. I honestly don’t notice a HUGE difference between the taste of these and the Multigrain but they’re still SO good!

They were super yummy–actually had crunch to them and everything! But I couldn’t stay away from the real thing :)

  • Glad you’re loving Spinning so much! I always leave spinning class feeling wonderfully exhausted :)

    Oh, and I’ll take some of those roasted vegs any day of the week…yum!

  • Yum, I LOVE sweet potato fries. I use a mandolin and cut them really thin, but yours look a bit thicker. I think I should try cutting them thicker because mine tend to burn easily!

    I think your veggie plate looks very tasty. I especially love the mushrooms, my favorite veg :) I bought zucchini today too, randomly, and cooking them in some balsamic and garlic. They were shockingly delicious. I am really learning to love veggies lately, can you tell?!

  • have fun at spin, and there is no such thing as veggie overload! yum!

  • I love how spinning leave me as a sweaty mess too !!! it’s the only workout that i get some real sweat!!!
    veggie load looks delish~~~

  • Yum yum yum about all your roasted veggies!! I can’t wait for my triathlon to be over this weekend so I can grocery shop and get cooking…roasted veggies and spaghetti squash are on the list! I have the squash on my counter just staring at me!! I’m also excited to try spinning after this training is done…I’ve heard it is the best workout.

  • Your veggie overload is making me hungry! Looks like the Boo did a great job with the sweet potato chips!

  • We love the FTTG sweet potato chips! And spinning IS addicting. I am an instructor and it is a great high.

  • I’ve never tried the FSTG chips, but I’ve heard fantastic things about them. I love the veggie overload-it looks awesome!

  • I really want to get a Magic Bullet! Do you find it is easy to make smoothies with it? Also-love the big veggie plate. You had commented on my blog about the body bug, and I was wondering if you liked it. Does it work well?

  • I kind of want to join a gym just to take spinning classes after seeing your enthusiasm for them. I love being a sweaty mess after a workout too!

  • i love spinning too…thats why i am an instructor! hahah i cant wait to do the “free ride” as my last song on sunday!
