How is your week? Mine has been the usual hectic-ness- but I’ve been enjoying every minute :) I was really excited to see the Athenos Challenge that has been going on around blog world.
Athenos feta is one of my favorite brands and I am a HUGE fan of Greek style salads. With the weather getting hotter and hotter in SC, cooler dinners have become more appealing. On Monday, I made up a ginormous Greek salad with spinach, romaine, sun dried tomatoes, artichokes and feta. I later also topped the salad with some hummus (mmm):
On the side, I had a chunk of my homemade focaccia bread.
The focaccia was supposed to be for a blogger meet up we were going to have on Monday night, but due to various circumstances, we had to reschedule. Guess Josh and I will have to eat all the focaccia ourselves, bummer ;). I also had a big bowl of melon:
Josh had a big salad too, but minus the feta,sundried tomatoes and hummus + shrimp. I also made a grilled artichoke and cheese sandwich for him using the focaccia:
How are your workouts coming along this week? My schedule is looking as follows:
- Monday: Ran to warm up, Taught Body Pump
- Tuesday: Taught Body Attack
- Wednesday: Off
- Thursday: Teach 45 minute Body Step, 45 minute Body Pump, Body Step launch practice

This week is a little heavy, so I plan to be super lazy on my off days ;). Do you have any group fitness questions? Keep them coming! I have the Group Fitness post in the works. Enjoy the rest of your work/school week.
PS- Anyone get these in the mail yesterday? I can’t wait to try them- Eggos bring me back to my childhood!!

ReplyDeleteI rediscovered my love for feta about a month ago. My tastebuds have been deprived for so long! I actually just bought the exact container as you a few days ago. Hmm...Eggo pizza? Looks kind of good, not going to lie! By the way, I'll gladly take one of Josh's sandwiches ;) Artichokes and cheese? Yes, please!
ReplyDeleteDid you see RHNJ Monday night?! Craze!! I also saw a rumor (which they already denied) that RH was coming to D-town. I was SOCLOSE!! Happy Wednesday :)
That salad looks great...Your schedule reminds of my group fitness teaching days...Driving from gym to gym teaching at least 3 classes a day...I miss it sometimes.
ReplyDeleteLOVE feta! Next to goat cheese, it's my favorite. :-) I need to get some sundried tomatoes to add to my salads....that sounds delcious!

ReplyDeleteGood lord, I remember Eggos! I had a babysitter who used to make them for me with American cheese and maple syrup. It was surprisingly good!

ReplyDeleteI live in Charleston, too!
ReplyDeleteI JUST started a blog this week after stumbling upon some amazing food and exercise blogs that really inspired me. I saw yours mentioned on a page I was reading (i don't remember who's it was) and was excited to see someone writing who was also in Charleston. I didn't know the blog world existed until about 2 weeks ago so this was very exciting for me :-) Once I started reading it I realized I have taken your step class a bunch of times! I am an ESAC member and take step every chance I get. I LOVE IT. You are a great instructor. So i figured I should say hi :-)
Oh my goodness! An egg fruit pizza?!?! YUMMMMM! So jealous! :)
