I can barely lift my arms.. Save me, Quinoa!

This Monday dragged on and on and on. And I was tired from the beginning. I had this anxiety dream around 4 am that I was missing something at work, or that I was late for something I was supposed to do. Nothing makes me more crazy than being late for something important.

So to sum up the weekend, I have my car back! Yay! Nick and I have started watching Mad Men. I tried to watch the pilot by myself once, and the sexism made me so mad that I didn't really get into it. But we're on the 3rd season now, and it's pretty exciting! Nick is starting to align himself to my schedule. Sort of. He works in the afternoon/evenings, but we're both home at night now.

Then today after work, I took an hour step class. I probably looked like an uncoordinated idiot. But that's okay. After that was Body Pump, which is the weights class. That's why I can barely lift my arms. Over 800 reps in total, she said. Ughhhh. I'm sure I'll feel the squats tomorrow.

And now I must tell you quickly what I had for dinner, because I'm falling asleep!

Quinoa Salad with Black Beans and Mango

-1 mango, peeled and diced
-1 red bell pepper, diced small
-1 cup chopped scallions
-1 cup chopped cilantro
-1 can of black beans

INTERLUDE: I had to take a picture when I got this far. Doesn't it look so pretty?

Add the Dressing:
-2 Tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
-2 Tbsp Canola oil
-1/4 tsp salt

-Whisk all this, add to first set of ingredients and mix around.

-Lastly, the Quinoa! I did 1 cup of dry quinoa. Just follow the instructions on the bag. Rinse it with cold water, then mix it all up. It's a salad!

I love all the colors! So fresh, tangy and appetizing.
