Cooking up a storm today for the birthday man in my life. 🧡 for dinner, lasagna!

Two challenges I’m giving myself during the month of October:
🧘‍♀️ Meditating over half the month
🚶‍♀️ Walking every day
Some feasible goals for myself, I look forward to see what October brings me. 🧡

Starting off strong for the day. I can only go up from here!

Look what I made, shrimp + sausage jambalaya. 🦐 AND, I only used one pot to cook this. We love minimal dishes!

5. After your eggs are cooked to your desire, slide them on top of each slice of toast with guacamole.

6. Enjoy your open faced fried egg + guacamole sandwich. ✨

Simple yet delicious! You receive carbs from the bread, protein from the eggs, and some fiber from guacamole. Enjoy! 🥪

2. While eggs are cooking, sprinkle some furikake seasoning on top.

3. While your eggs are cooking, toast your slice bread to your desired level of toastiness (I love my sliced bread with a crunch).

4. After your bread is toasted, spread some guacamole on each slice.

Never let anyone persuade you that walking is not exercise. Those who tell you otherwise do not walk themselves.

Sincerely,
Your favorite morning walker 🤍

I really enjoy eggs for breakfast and one of the ways I make them is hard boiling them and mixing them with spicy guacamole. 🌶️ 🥑 and then I’ll use some crackers to scoop it up like a dip. 😋

Knocking out another day of walking and working out, this humidity got me though. 😅💀

Melanie, BS | Clinical Nutrition Intern @melysnutrition.bsky.social · Jul 28

And we’re back to our walking + working out agenda!!! A part of me debated if I should wait until AFTER the move to start working out again but why wait when I could get back into NOW? It was also already hot at 9am. 😮‍💨

Melanie, BS | Clinical Nutrition Intern @melysnutrition.bsky.social · Jul 25

A shorter walk today because A) it was already humid and gross and B) SOME dog got too excited seeing the little dogs and almost dragged me down the street. 🥴 #walking
