Farmers Market Eats & Weekly Exercise Plan
Happy Monday! Anyone else have a rough time waking up this morning? Sheesh, the alarm at 6:30 felt ridiculously early, I hit it off and then passed out for another HOUR. Haha. But the still-light evenings are well worth it.
This weekend, I had a mini-flu so I mostly layed-low, but I did make it out to the neighborhood Farmer’s Market.

Greeted with the first booth, overflowing with flowers. I love tulips...and tulip season makes me so happy
It was overcast and felt like it was about to rain, but that didn’t stop a big crowd from coming out.
There’s something so fun about buying produce from the sellers. And I am always curious to see what the latest in-season produce will be.
Freshly made apple juice. Um, yum!
First strawberries of the season.
Purple cauliflower.
That’s what I call a sample table! Check out the options.
After a good hour exploring all the booths, I left with bags full of veggies. Will hopefully be no veggie shortage in my house this week!
My only complaint (and yes, of course I have one) is that it really wasn’t any less expensive than if I went to the grocery store. In fact, I think it ended up being MORE expensive. For example, I bought one bunch of kale, about 10 brussel sprouts, and 3 mini cucumbers….and she charged me a whopping $7! Now that I think about it, I think she miscalculated? Whatever it was, that was much more than if I was at an organic market. Oh well. Gas prices are up, so maybe farmers market prices are up as a result?
Do you have a nearby Farmers Market? Is it year-round? How often do you go?
And now for my weekday exercise set-up. I haven’t done this before, but think I need to.
Monday: Swim 30 minutes, walk 1 hour, situps/stretches
Tuesday: Walk 2 hours (in 3 increments)
Wednesday: Run 30 minutes (5k?) morning, walk 1 hour (after work)
Thursday: Walk 2 hours
Friday: Swim 30 minutes, stretches/sit-ups
Sat/Sun: In Tahoe, so probably nothing except for a few walks and maybe some skiing.
Do you do a weekly exercise plan?

[...] together. It sorta looked more like dinner (?). 2 chicken legs (with liquid aminos), kale (from the farmer’s market), and leftover roasted eggplant. I ate the kale in the car. [...]

The colorful cauliflower looks fun and those strawberries would have been a must-buy for me.
