PB and honey

My interview went well!  I made a quick lunch afterwards before heading to the grocery store with  my dad.  I made a PB and honey sandwich with, carrots, strawberries, and an orange on the side.  I picked up some things to make dinner tonight.  I haven’t decided what I want to make yet, but I’m choosing between two recipes from Veganomicon!  I’m soo excited!  I gotta run to the gym now for a workout, and I want to make it by 4 to watch Oprah!  See you later!  Ugh, blurry picture :( 

 

Class Cancelled

My first class was cancelled today, and I figured I would just stay home and skip the second one since all my professor does is read word for word off of the notes that I already have.  It has been a very relaxing day so far, but I really need to study the rest of it :-(  booo.  Breakfast was pumpkin oatmeal (pumpkin, steel cut oats, whipped banana, walnuts, spoonful of PB, flaxseed, cinnamon, vanilla, soymilk)-yumm!  Lunch I cut up some celery, had baby carrots, a red grapefruit, and a sandwich of Ezekiel bread, hummus, tomato, avocado, and hot sauce!  It was very tasty.  My mouth still wanted something else though and I was really craving PB and honey for lunch, but I have so much hummus that needs to get used up!  So, two hours later I ate a pumpkin muffin topped with honey and PB!  It was delicious!  I had 2 squares of my Supreme Dark Endangered Species Chocolate bar too!  Dark chocolate has definitely been an acquired taste for me because I used to hate it, but now I love it and think milk chocolate is too sweet!  I made chickpea cutlets this afternoon this well, and will be having one with my dinner!  As for the exercise…today is a rest day.   (the first pic is of my sandwich…tomatoes, hummus, and avocado)  I need to work on my photography…

 

Leftovers and a snack

For dinner I sauteed two plum tomatoes (chopped), garlic, red onions, and spinach in some EVOO with oregano, thyme, basil, lemon juice, and lemon seasoning.  I added this to my leftovers from last nights dinner, which was about a cup of whole wheat penne pasta, a couple broccoli florets, and not many diced tomatoes.  It was better than last night’s dinner!  I forgot to take a picture of it :-(  I was in a hurry to go to my boyfriend’s house.  I packed some snacks to take with me…3/4 cup Ezekiel 4:9 whole grain golden flax cereal, 3/4 cup almond milk, lots of veggies (cucumber slices, tomato slices, carrots, and celery), 1/4 cup (2 oz) of the hummus I made this afternoon, and 1 square of Endangered species supreme dark chocolate!  The cereal was great.  There is no sugar, so it’s definitely not sweet, but there’s something I love and enjoy about when a food is so wholesome and natural.  It feels so good!  The hummus was okay.  It could use more flavor, but I have a whole jar of tahini to get the recipe down!  Have a Happy Easter everyone!

 

More PB and Honey!

I went to the gym at 1:30 and did 40 minutes ET, 10-15 minutes abs, upper body weights, and some stretching.  Then I ran for 10 minutes on the tredmill.  (-644 kcal).  Sometimes I think my calorie counts are a little high on my HRM, but I’m not really concerned about it.  I just like to exercise more so for the health benefits, stress relief, and it just feels great!!  Then I sat down to lunch with a PB and honey sandwich on whole wheat (which I just found out contains HFCS and nonfat milk with 2 more loaves in the freezer to go..ahh!), carrots, celery, grapefruit, and a cup of peppermint tea!  Divine!
