    Another home workout day ..

    This morning was rainy n it was a bit chilly . I made sure to warm up before starting my workout ..I was up a little late than I normally would . It was a little tougher to start , I think the chilly weather , the rain , the cloud all made me think it’d be a good morning just to stay in laying on the couch n knit . Unfortunately I do not have any particular project at the moment . Or should I say luckily I don’t .. Anyway , since I did upper yesterday it’s time to do lower body workout . Last week I did…

Also , you can always replace the brown…

    Banana Oats Muffins

    We used to make this quite often , I made this recipe about 3 years ago when we started switching our focus to a healthier food. I would take this for breakfast on the go , bagged it n ate it after I dropped off my son to school . My husband likes them with yogurt too . Or just as a snack . The macros in this isn’t too bad in my opinion . If you’re on keto , this recipe probably won’t work for you . Trying to make it healthier option , I opted for old fashioned oats . I don’t buy oat flour , I just…

    The start of a homeworkout ..

    March 14th was the beginning of my home workout . I found things I bought few weeks prior to this , suddenly has become super useful . Funny , I’m not the type of person who likes to buy fitness equipment but I suddenly really wanted that ab roller . Package I bought came with jump rope and mini parallettes . The mini parallettes I ended up using for pushups actually . But even without it , you still can do pushups easily , we all have floors . Do regular pushups will be just fine , knee on or off the floor , whatever works . I like doing…

    Staying positive ..

Just a little over two weeks ago , actually was last day of school for my young teenager son . I believe it was March 12th . I just never thought that in an instant everything seems becoming so strange , out of normal . My first social distancing day was that Friday , which was supposedly the beginning of spring break at school . We planned to go to visit my…
