If these stairs don't kill me...

We are away from home so no new food posts to date. I have done my best today to stay on track.

Oats-3
Coffee-1
Stuffed grilled shrimp with green beans and salad- 18
Chicken chickpea soup -5
Ham Slice- 4

Since we are away from home I decided to run some stairs. Oh my gosh. I thought that I was in better physical shape. Stairs will challenge your fitness in a hurry. I ran about 12-ish times up and down of double stairs and thought I was going to die. Yet, I'm not down on myself. It motivated me. I have new goal. By the end of the summer Id like to be able to do about 30 sets.I hope that this is realistic and that increasing my aerobic ability in running will increase my stair climbing ability. Only time, sweat and willpower will tell.

I wanted to also bring up something new and possibly something fun to try. I know a girl who is a raw foodie. She has inspired me to think outside the box in terms of creating replacement foods that are non-animal based. For the first time in my life I made Almond milk. I have bought it before, but never realized how simple it is to make your own milk. Heres the recipe:
1/3C Almonds (soak for at least an hour to soften skins)
2C water
2-3 dates for sweetness pureed previously
1tsp. vanilla

puree almonds in a blender and slowly add water until liquefied. Add in pureed date paste and vanilla, continue to blend. Strain through a mesh strainer and enjoy. Its a super, sweet non-dairy milk alternative if you have milk allergies. I'm not sure of the WW point component, but its something new and fun to try. The remaining strained nut is super nutritious and Ive blended it before with some spreadable cheese and added it to stuff dates. Delish! You can also make your own rice milk; the possibilities are endless.

Enjoy the weekend!
