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 :( 

 

Taking a break

I am taking a break from doing work today.  I was up until 1 am last night typing my paper, so I feel I need a day to slow down and relax.  I have another paper due Tuesday though  Maybe I’ll start it later haha.  Breakfast was a delicious bowl of pumpkin steel cut oats again.  I can’t get enough of it…I wonder if I will ever get sick of it.  I can’t imagine that happening.  I never want cold cereal for breakfast, but perhaps things could change if the weather ever gets warm!  It’s getting there  Lunch in the dining hall consisted of stewed tomatoes over rice…I think basmati rice?  Plus, I had a small apple, two little chunks of fresh pineapple, and an orange wedge.  That wasn’t enough, so when I got back to my room I ate a Silk live blueberry yogurt.  Shortly after that I had a Pecan Pie Larabar….Satisfied.  Now, I’m brewing a cup of tea.     

 

 

 

Not very impressed

I had a very large, juicy orange before the gym.  I absolutely love oranges!  I did 10 minutes on stationary bike, 30 minutes on treadmill (10 walk, 20 run), and 20 minutes ET.  Great workout!  I was very anxious to try my Ezekiel 100% whole grain bread when I got home, and I thought what better to try it with than PB and honey!  haha.  I also had a cup of almond milk and some Bigelow Spiced Chai tea.  To tell you the truth, I wasn’t that impressed by the bread.  The slices were smaller than I would like, and the crust was kinda hard.  I don’t know if that was from being frozen and popping it in the microwave?  The middle was great though.  Nice and chewy.  Perfect.  I’m still upset about my Brownberry :-(  My family thinks I’m nuts because I’m concerned about HFCS, hydrogenated oils, animal products, etc.  I can understand this may be because I used to have an eating disorder, but in no way do I have the same mindset as I did then.  I simply want to eat to live a long healthy life, and what I put into my body is the one thing I can control to maximize my health.  Besides, I enjoy eating this way so much more, and I feel a lot better and energized.  It upsets me that they dislike it.  :-/

 

Change of plans

Two hours after my breakfast I knew I was going to get hungry during my class, so I had a Luna Caramel Nut Brownie bar (which I know may contain traces of dairy  ), a cup of green tea, my multi, and B12 while doing some microbiology (worst class ever…the material I was reading really worked up my appetite-NOT) labs before heading to class.  It was good, but I prefer Larabars.  Now, it’s 1:30 and I’m already sitting down to lunch!  Breakfast did not hold me over well at all.  Must be due to the lack of nuts, PB, and flax?  I decided to postpone my workout until about 5:00 because I was too hungry to go before lunch, and I will spend my time until then studying for an archaeology exam that is tomorrow and beginning a speech due on Tuesday!  I plan on turning on the tv from 3-5 to watch Yes, Dear and King of Queens!  If they are reruns I will be able to focus on my work, but I have the rest of the day to do that because I am done with my one and only class on Wednesdays.   My favorite day besides the weekend of course.  So for lunch I had 1.5 cups of Kashi GoLean Crunch! cereal w/1 cup soymilk, a very sweet juicy orange, and a cup of chamomile tea!  Time to get to work!
