I tried something new this morning: blueberries (and almond butter, of course) in my oats. The tartness of the berries was yummy.
This first Nalgene took me awhile to finish this morning... But, in the meantime I had a glass of water at lunch as well as an iced tea:
I'm pretty sure Diet Gold Peak Tea is the best iced tea I've ever had - and it never fails to perk me right up! I switched it up a bit with a new midmorning snack:
I was a little apprehensive to try this bar because the original Lunas aren't my favorite, but the flavor sounded too good to pass up. The first taste was delicious: chocolate-y and peanut-buttery. But, it was too...much. Like some other protein bars, this one took for-ev-er to chew and kind of stuck to the top of my mouth. I have one more like it to eat, but then I will probably stick to Larabars and SOYJOYs.
Because today was my last "free" day (read: day without students), I decided I had to go out for lunch. While I was really craving super unhealthy food from a local Mexican restaurant, I opted for a healthier choice with my BFF: La Mie, a cute little French bakery.
How beautiful was my sandwich? And let me tell you how it tasted... YUM. It is a grilled portabello sandwich with roasted red peppers, spinach, and chevre. O...M...G. I inhaled it. And then BFF and I shared a bowl of fruit as well:
After work today I noticed something odd on my car. At first I thought it was a giant scratch, a dent, some sort of damage that is easily accrued in a high school parking lot. But...no. See for yourself:
A giant praying mantis! Interestingly, one decided to join our volleyball team tonight as well. I rarely see cool creatures like this, so it was a pretty neat thing. (Geek alert! Geek alert!)
After work I did my weekly yoga with my kick-ass instructor/friend, and then I headed out for school supplies and groceries; after all, I was going to run out of Flatouts this evening! Just wait until tomorrow to see what else I found!
I was absolutely famished after running those errands and had a quick, impulse snack before dinner. It was too good to resist, though:
BFF whipped up a batch of salsa today and brought me a sampling. Wow, was it delicious! The only "unhealthy" ingredient she added to a massive Tupperware container was one cup of fat-free Italian dressing. Otherwise, it was all vegetables, herbs, and beans. She accompanied the salsa with whole-wheat scoops that really did the trick!
For dinner I made the quickest, easiest thing I could think of:
A Flatout pizza! I took one Flatout wrap (Italian) and topped it with 1/4 cup of pizza sauce, some turkey pepperoni, 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, and 'shrooms. I nuked it for about 30 seconds and called it good. And good it was! I'll definitely be making this one again!
After volleyball this evening, I prepped a bit (but not enough) for school tomorrow, polished off another Nalgene, and ate a Weight Watchers ice cream bar:
Honestly, people: try 'em. Unbelievable.
I have no idea the nutritional make-up of the sandwich I had for lunch or the few bites of salsa I ate, but not counting those two, I did well today.
Today's grand total*:
Calories: 861
Fat: 43 grams
Carbs: 86 grams
Protein: 49.5
*I'm guessing the calories are more like 1,300 or 1,400, and the other counts would also be much higher. I think today was pretty close to perfect regarding nutritional values. :)
