Hi there!
Iām home from work and so psyched that tomorrow is Friday.
Sadie is, too!
Work + Lunch
Today was a typical work day: Personal training + Teaching group exercise
Oh and look who officially made the personal training and group exercise wall at the gym!
It only took four months. And yes, I think the pictures look like slightly-fuzzy Glamour Shots. I shouldāve crimped my hair, let my hands linger on my collarbone and slapped on some blue eye shadow. Next time!
In between training a client and teaching water fitness, I ate a quick lunch that I brought to the gym with me this morning.
I wrapped tuna salad in a whole wheat tortilla and ate it with a side of two plums and sugar snap peas.
I added carrots, celery and tomato to the tuna salad to amp up the flavor and add a little texture. Delicious!
Time to start brainstorming dinner ideas! Iām not in the mood to cook at all, so Iām thinking sandwiches for dinner may be on the menu this evening.
Question of the Afternoon
- What is your favorite fall back "Iām too lazy to cookā dinner?
My favorites: Microwavable quesadilla (cheese + spinach + black beans), a simple sandwich or breakfast for dinner!

Woot, woot! Wall pictures look great!
My favorite go to meal when I don’t feel like cooking is grilled cheese (any variety) paired with a salad. Easy and delicious!
Smoothies every time. They also work great in the summer, because sometimes I get home and am just too hot to eat anything normal. Hits the spot every time.
Haha. So true–blue eye shadow next time! Love the photos–you look great! š
We just had paninis for dinner. I was wayyyy too tired to cook-and they tasted super yumm. #winning
The photos look great!!! My favorite easy meals are cheese quesadillas with fresh salsa and pizza pita pockets (pita + sauce + cheese + tons of veggies).
Toasted sub sandwiches (in the toaster oven), tuna mixed with avocado, bean and cheese burritos, or nachos (layer chips, refried beans, and cheese in a Pyrex dish and bake about 10 mins. until cheese melts).
I’m with you: breakfast for dinner!
ALWAYS breakfast for dinner š I could eat breakfast for every meal!
I like mixing a can of chicken, a can of corn and a can of beans with salsa, cheese and/or guacamole. Throw it on a wrap or put a scoop on a bed of lettuce or rice. So stinkin’ easy.
Chipotle bowls… Quick cook brown rice, Canned black beans, rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, cheese, sliced avocado and salsa. YUM!!!
Congrats on the photo!!! Such a great photo of you š
I always have a bunch of leftovers in the freezer on days I’m too lazy to cook. That and healthy take out which I know isn’t the greatest š
Love the photo!
Love the photo…. It’s great when you’re finally included at work, huh? Took me almost 2 years to finally be included (via photo) at the winery, but they got my blog posted last year… #winning!!
My favorite go-to meal is pasta with fresh corn and a packet of salmon…. I toss that (warm) with just enough Philadelphia cooking sauce and it becomes a fabulous, easy pasta dish that just hits the appt, warm or cold. Mmmmm. Otherwise, it’s definitely breakfast for dinner!!
My fall back dinner actually involves tuna…its just so dang easy! But instead of using mayo to bind the tuna and veggies together I use avocado. I mash it all together and make quick tuna melts with tomato and lettuce! Easy, healthy, and delicious!
I’m with you, if I’m not feeling cooking, we’ll usually just have sandwiches. Or we may scrounge around the fridge for leftovers. Picking something up is also a pretty good option. š
Great picture! If I don’t feel like cooking, we usually have breakfast for dinner. It’s quick, easy and tastes great! š
Hmmm I always add carrots, celery, and craisins to my tuna salad (love the sweetness of the craisins!!) but I never thought of adding tomatoes. Great idea!
I had one of those nights on Wednesday. After getting home late from teaching barre, I slapped some almond butter on a whole wheat wrap with mashed blackberries and called it a day. Done and done
I LOVE sandwiches! Like, good deli meat and cheese and French bread! It is SO tasty! I actually got home on Wednesday from work and asked my dad what was for dinner and he told me sandwiches and my day instantly got like 10x better. Not even always a lazy night dinner, just a delicious dinner š
You look like one of the girls from the bachelor…you know with all their headshots on the wall? š
Ha! OMG – died over the Buzzfeed glamour shot link. Yours, however, are fabulous. It is always so much fun when your picture finally makes the personal training wall…My gym took a number of months as well.
Eggs are my go to “too lazy to cook” dinner. So easy!
Either a bowl of cereal or a grilled cheese!
Eggs! Whenever I get home and I’m too tired too cook, I just whip up scrambled egg whites with spinach and some cheese. Sometimes I’ll throw some toast on the side. But it always does the trick and takes no time at all.
my go-to lazy dinner is ritz crackers with pb! that or a protein shake. ultimate lazy mode right there!
I’m like anti-sandwich right now so my go-to lazy meal has been lean ground meat, tomato sauce, some spices thrown in lettuce leaves. Simple, fast, and super yummy
That is super cool that your gym does that!! Love it. š We do salads, quesadillas, egg scrambles and english muffin pizzas for fall back dinners. .. and if it is really bad – frozen pizza!!
Your pictures look awesome!
Bean Salad! I had the same “I don’t want to cook dinner” feeling last night. I always try to make sure I have a stock of canned mixed beans in the cupboard. Add corn, black olives, feta, and avocado and grilled Cajun shrimp. PC brand Cilantro Avocado dressing and voila, dinner š
Your wall pics look awesome! My mom totally had those glamour shots haha, I remember telling her I couldn’t wait to get some when I was older. Thank goodness photography has changed a little! Oh, and I worked at my gym for a year (just left to start my own business) and they never put my wall pics or anyone else who started after me. I guess it’s normal to take awhile! I think it’s great for members to connect with the trainers and instructors though!
you have to be one of the only people ever to look gorgeous in their “trainer” pic!
definitely a breakfast-for-dinner girl š
I love adding extra goodies to my tuna salad too. I usually add diced pickles, radishes, and celery. Yum! For easy dinners, I love tuna or chicken salad sandwiches or scrambled eggs with random veggies and toppings thrown in. It is a great way to use up leftovers!
Love the glamour shots! š My favorite easy dinner is to throw together a big salad or a pot of chili!
LOL at the the link
Julie, you ALWAYS look great in pictures. You are one of those people who can always have the perfect smile š lucky lol
LOVE the pic JB!!! You look great!! You’re so legit!
