I sort of felt like a complete idiot/whiner with all I said in yesterday's post. I was being completely honest, a feature I love about blogs because I truly do have so much to be thankful for in my life - regardless of the amount of friends I have. I'm happy a lot of you can relate to how hard it is to keep loyal friends around, it really made me feel better about my current situation. Thank you so much.
Today I have a work training all day in Golden, CO so I will be going through Google Reader withdrawals all day I'm sure. I typed this post up last night so no dinner photos but I think it will be leftover Chicken Fried Steak anyway so you're not missing much.
Breakfast yesterday was an old classic - toast!
I can't remember the last time I had toast for breakfast. Two pieces of millet bread with MaraNatha almond butter & banana slices. I also took the other half of my bottle of POM Wonderful juice with me to drink on my way.

Lunch was a yogurt mess of sorts - I had been trying to get more veggies in at lunch lately but realized that it doesn't make me happy if I force it. I always say "go with your cravings" so this time I went with what I knew I would love.
I mixed some almond butter, cinnamon and flaxseed into a container of plain Oikos the night before.
Then topped it with an apple and half a cup of puffed brown rice cereal.
One word: EPIC.
Afternoon snack: Kombucha and a spicy cheese stick.
I had a chiropractor appointment after work & his office just happens to be next to Sunflower Market so I ran in for a small grocery shop.Produce:
Condiments: The essential ones...at least for me.
Dairy:
Fun Foodie Impulse Items:
Bars: I don't normally go this crazy but all the Clif items were on sale for .89 each.
This Luna protein bar was staring me down so I think it will be gone before dinner.....
Like I said, I'm at a training all day so I'll be catching up with your lives tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to lunch out with all my co-workers. Don't get me wrong, the people are great, we all get along very well but the food options?? Either a fast food chain (Burger King, Taco Bell, Subway, Sonic) or some crappy Chinese restaurant. Which would you pick? I'm going with Subway - even though I can't eat wheat, I think they can make any sub into a salad.Enjoy your Wednesday!
I'm the worst when it comes to bad food options. I'll go to a chinese place and have them give me a chicken, sauce, and veggie dish without the chicken or the sauce.
ReplyDeleteHope your day goes well!
i hate eating with my coworkers. they always force me to eat a damn FRIED this or darn fried that. I DON'T WANT IT. I yell. ANyways, that gooey nut butter in your sandwich is staring me down...and clif bars for < $1 wtf?!
ReplyDeleteI can't remember the last time I had toast for breakfast either- I don't know why I always go for some sort of yogurt combo as fall back. What are the Luna cookie dough bars like? I LOVE cookie dough Balance bars :D
ReplyDeleteLunch... I kind of like Subway in a pinch, but if I can get steamed chicken/tofu and brown rice in a Chinese place with sauce on the side, I would get that. Or steamed vegetable dumplings and soup.
I love pb toast!
ReplyDeleteI would pick Subway, Taco Bell (taco salad, yum) or Chinese. Good luck!
Work lunches--ech. The thing is that every salad shop can usually cater to "healthier" requests, so you're a little saved there.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, but I'm always trying to work more fruit INTO my meals instead of veggies and you're the opposite. Dried fruit has never been a big thing with me, but I recently had dried apricots (as you purchased) and fell in lust with them. SOOO good.
I get such bad anxiety when I have to go out to a restaurant that has less than healthy options. I usually just order the smallest thing on the menu and then eat MY food that I have packed aftewards. I'm a freak. Good luck today!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you! women are bitches!! I have a few girlfriends in every city that I go to though. It helps if they have the same interests as you. I met all of my friends in Germany through the gym. I know that I will have to make friends when we move to Washington this summer, and that is when I will have to pull myself out of my comfort zone and get out there! Good luck!
ReplyDeletemmm look at all those awesome grocery buys. I am obsessed with fage and the bar selection you have going on there miss. Have fun (?) in training!
ReplyDeletei love that puffed cereal! so much bang for your calorie buck. and it reminds me of smacks. i would go w/ subway too, but you are right.. the choices are no bueno. hope your friday is going fab! xoxo
