Yesterday was a little sub-par on the fruits and veggies consumption front and today I awoke determined to cram five servings in over the course of the day.
I made a pretty solid dent in my goal at lunchtime today and loved the fresh punch of flavor from the nutritious produce.
Salmon salad served as the highlight of my meal.
To make the salad I combined:
- Salmon
- Mustard
- Relish
- Light Miracle Whip
- Chopped cucumber
- Chopped carrot
- Chopped tomato
Sides included roasted green beans and a nectarine. 
And a cup of my favorite pomegranate green tea!
After lunch I immediately started thinking about dinner ideas. I have three different meals in mind, but am leaning toward something rather appropriate for the upcoming holiday, St. Patrick’s Day.
Mmm!
Spring 2012 Workout Playlist
As I worked through the morning, I also took some time to download a few new songs to update my workout playlist.
Since boot camp has me doing longer-than-usual cardio sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am counting on this playlist to pump me up and help me power through some kick-butt treadmill workouts.
Since I am always on the lookout for new music to add to my iPod, I figured you guys might want a sneak peak at my new playlist:
- Fun. – We Are Young
- Carly Rae Jaspen – Call Me Maybe (<—Totally reminds me of a song Robyn from the ‘90s would sing)
- Amy Winehouse – Valerie
- Fine Young Cannibals – She Drives Me Crazy
- Nero – Promises
- Gossip – Heavy Cross (<—Song from the Dior commercial with Charlize Theron)
- Glee Cast – Rumor Has It/Someone Like You
- Fun. – Some Nights
- Michael Jackson – Dirty Diana
- Glee Cast – America
- Whitney Houston – How Will I Know
- David Guetta & Chris Willis – Gettin’ Over You
- Calvin Harris – Feel So Close
- Andy Grammer – Fine By Me

Thanks for sharing!! Definitely downloading some of these – and I forgot how much I LOVE Dirty Diana!
I just posted MY March playlist: http://thatsg.com/2012/03/09/my-current-cardio-playlist/
I’m loving Nicki Minaj – Starships and September Resuscitate Me right now 🙂
LOVE your playlist…it was like looking at my own! My go to workout song is Fighter by Christina Aguilera. It’s been on my list for over 5 years now and it STILL pumps me up!
Nooo not you too! am i the only one who dislikes that carly rae jepsen song?!
sigh.
The Glee cover of We Are Young is good too.
I love Gotye’s “Somebody that I Used to Know” – as well as the Pentatonix cover of it.
Right now I’m loving Princess of China – Coldplay and Rihanna, and Shake it Out – Florence and the Machine
You HAVE to check out Robyn’s recent stuff, too! it’s awesome to run to, especially “Call Your Girlfriend” and “Dancin’ on my Own.” Plus, Scissor Sisters have some pretty rockin jams, too like ‘Take Your Mama!”
If you like Fun, you should check out the lead singer’s earlier band–The Format. So amazing, especially the “Dog Problems” album. Also check out Fun’s first album–“Be Calm” is my favorite!
I love SAIL by AWOLNATION!! So good!
Eminem “Till I Collapse” always makes me run faster 🙂
I can’t resist Phish’s “Run Like an Antelope” (when running, of course)
Love this playlist! We not only have similar food preferences (who doesn’t love PB, and that salmon mixture looked really yummy) but pretty much the same taste in music, too! Some Nights by Fun. is also a great song I’ve recently discovered 🙂
I’m so excited to discover your playlists! Need to seriously revamp my music for running! Silly question…where do you get your music? Do you download for Itunes or…..?
thanks for sharing!!
itunes!
Gotta have Pumped Up Kicks and Helena Beat to get me going…..
Great blog!
got to add ‘Titanium’ by David Guetta & Sia !!
