It Feels Like the Weekend to Me

Good evening to everyone! Hope everyone had a wonderful day! My days have just been wearing me out here lately. I got a very pleasant surprise today when I went to foodbuzz.com and saw my profile featured on the front page!! VERY EXCITING!!

Started off the day with another yummy Green Monster and a cup of sugar cookie coffee!

Today’s Recipe:

2 cups spinach

1 tbsp almond butter

1 tbsp flax seed meal

1 tbsp chia seed meal

1/2 scoop chocolate soy protein powder

1 cup almond milk

1 banana

It was quick downhill after breakfast because I started having really bad stomach cramping and such so I had to lay back down for a bit until I was feeling better :-(

Once I felt okay, I headed to the gym to do 45 minutes on the elliptical, interval, level 12. I also did the aspects of Whittle My Middle which I need an exercise ball for (I was short on time, so I’m going to finish up the rest at home later).

I hit up Walmart and picked up a few necessities: apples, natural peanut butter, razors (I HATE when I have to buy these, because I have to get really expensive ones because I’m crazy prone to razor burn if I use anything else, which bums me out because I’d MUCH rather spend $12 on something else!)Burt’s Bees Deep Cleansing Cream (I wanted to try this because it was natural, and I have some acne problems so I am always looking for good products that don’t overly irritate my face),

and a few LaraBars (apple pie, cashew cookie, and peanut butter cookie).

Lunch was 2 leftover vegan pancakes smeared with my new natural peanut butter, 2 organic carrots, and 3 dates! Yummy!

I had to work today from 2-630 (well I was SUPPOSED to, I got let off at 5, so irritating), so I brought the Cashew Cookie LaraBar for a snack.

It was pretty good, but Apple Pie is still my favorite so far.

Work was something else today. As I said before Banana has been really lagging lately in sales so they are cutting hours all over the place. Very stressful, cuz Jill needs some cash money. But oh well, what can I do!

To pep me up after work I stopped by Price Cutter for the few items I forgot to get at Walmart, ha, and got some Van’s organic waffles

and Raw cinnamon honey for fun.

When I got home first thing I did, after letting Noodle out, was to make up a snack! (having a late dinner tonight with Joey) so I toasted a waffle and spread some honey on and DAYUM, this stuff is sooooo good!. Its kind of a weird consistency actually, a little thicker than not raw honey, but it is so vibrant and fresh! I spread a little on the waffle and popped it in the microwave for 5 seconds and then it was very easy to spread the rest. I HIGHLY recommend this goodness.

Well I gotta practice my presentation a few more times before Joey gets here. I have started practicing out loud a few times every day (I’m very anal about presentations, I get so nervous so I like to overly practice, it makes it a lot easier).

Here’s a picture to make everyone smile. My puppy Noodle is the cutest :-)
