Sick of squash?

So far this morning I have broken my hairbrush, stained my shirt, nearly dropped my hot mug of tea all over the floor and had a loud silverware/dish dropping accident in the kitchen that had the husband, who was still in bed, yell down at me, "You still alive??" And it's only 7 am. Good thing I work with heavy machinery all day, huh? :-/

.

I woke up yesterday with a touch of a sore throat, not good. I slammed an Emergen-C first thing which seemed to help a little.

Breakfast:

Just a standard breakfast cookie made with:

• 1/2 cup extra thick rolled oats
• half a banana
• flaxseed
• cinnamon
• splash of soy milk
• topped with a Sunbutter/plain greek yogurt frosting

I think I just had an epiphany. I have all sorts of trouble when taking a picture of breakfast and dinner in my kitchen without a flash but for some reason this breakfast photo came out great. Why? Because it's on a white plate!!! My regular "nice" dishes are all black, hence the orange-ish photos and crappy lighting. It's all because of the darn plate! (Did you all know this? Am I just the last food blogger on earth to find this out???) Son of a...

Mid-morning snack:

For lunch I had an Oikos with Kashi Go Lean and pomegranate arils:with some roasted kabocha w/sea salt.

I'm not sure what it is about this squash but every time I open up a Tupperware containing it, all I can smell is fart. Not the best food to be eating at work. Ranks right up there with tuna and hard boiled eggs. It tastes normal but something about the smell is getting to me. Maybe I've overdone it on the squash lately, I seem to get on specific food kicks and then suddenly get sick of eating the same thing.

My current lunch book -

I've read this once before but it's so good, I wanted to read it again. I was going to re-read New Moon but since it's so ridiculously popular now, I almost feel embarrassed to be seen reading it. That sounds stupid but I'm the anti-bandwagon girl, I hate doing something just because everyone else is.

I came home and found a fun surprise in the mail, the Nasoya coupons that I won from Iowa Girl Eats' giveaway! Thanks again IGE!

Afternoon cookie snack:

I had one of those 'I'm hungry but nothing sounds good' issues last night. I wandered around my kitchen for far too long before deciding on a baked microwaved sweet potato topped with hummus and avocado and some pan-cooked Brussels sprouts for dinner.

Unfortunately the Brussels were making me gag so I tossed them and just ate the sweet potato. If you've never put avocado and hummus on a sweet tater, do it NOW!

Other bites, licks & tastes: A couple chips with guacamole after lunch and a piece of Dave's mini-pizza after dinner.

Workout: I did my own 20 minute Jillian-style workout in my living room while watching Funniest Commercials of 2009.
