There's a Wicked Nor' Easta Blowin In

I don't know what happened to spring but it got awful blustery out today. Which started me thinking about colder climates like Massachusetts which led me to think about Boston which in turn led me to think about hot southie boys and WHAM I had to have some wicked awesome chowda!


Campbell's wicked awesome 98% fat free chowda to be precise.


Yeah, my pouring skills are not the best (look at the splatter.)


Of course I had to have some more of those delicious Triscuits and sweet tea.

To round it all up an amazingly lovely orange.

So sweet and juicy. Slurp!

The lunch, although delicious in every way, did not last as long as I had hoped and by 5pm (during the middle of a massage) my stomach began to seriously growl. Embarrassing!

So once I got home I immediately set to getting my snack on.

I had to answer the siren song of those amazing chips and salsa. I managed to not dig into them since that day I had them for lunch.... no small feat mind you. I also added to low fat Babybel cheeses for protein.

I think I am ready for my Bodyjam class now. :)

Yes We Have No Bananas....

Well, I wont if I they keep appearing in my food like this


Kashi H2H cereal, skim milk and a banana.


This should hold me for at least 3 hours, not as filling as yesterday's breakfast but delicious none the less. :)

Opps.... a Little Late On Lunch

Yesterday got a little disorganized after breakfast. I have pics of lunch but none of dinner, which is probably good since the best of food choices weren't made since I didn't eat at home. I vaguely remember potato chips and some sort of danish.... it's a little fuzzy.


It was definitely and iced tea kinda day (this one was slightly sweetened with sugar).


I was also craving something crunchy and these were most satisfying.


This is a tiny dessert plate with 7 crackers on it. :)

A simple garden salad mix with light tuna and sesame sticks. Hmmm... I think it needs something......

Perfect!

The perfect balance of fiber, protein, fat and CRUNCH!

Woohoo!!

Going Bananas!

Good morning bloggers! Today I got up bright and early (read: dragged my tired butt out of bed) and headed off to the gym. Got in a great workout and I feel 10 times better. :)


Ate this beauty on my way to the gym. Even though I wasn't hungry yet I wanted to kick start my metabolism by eating within the first 30 minutes of waking.

Once I got back home and took a refreshing shower I was ready for a little hardier substance:


Take one of these and toast it to your preference,


smear with 2 tlbs of this ( or the nut butter of your choice),

slice up one of these and place on our opened faced English muffin,

and then drizzle with this! Swoon!!

This with a multivitamin, the rest of the banana and a full glass of water and you are good to go for at least 4 hours (all that fiber!)

Very filling my friends.

Yesterday it was strawberries, today bananas. I wonder what tomorrow will bring. :)

Later taters!

Round 2 and 3

Lunch was super nummy, nummy num nums! (I know, I make myself sick sometimes.)


I had a small handful of these delicious chips,


dipped into this most loveliest of salsas (sooo good and my first time trying this brand),

then came the turkey, swiss, mayo mustard sandwich,

on this very yummy and super tiny bread ( the above sandwich is on a salad plate).

A little something sweet to round out the meal. 1 cup of strawberries with a few tablespoons of fat free organic vanilla yogurt (Stoneyfield). 1 large glass of water.

Very filling and highly enjoyable.

On to the afternoon snack and dinner..

1/3 cup of sesame sticks and 5 strawberries ( I think I may turn into a strawberry after today).

Such salty goodness!

Strawberry season is finally upon us. :)

After returning home from work, in crazy thunderstorms and tornado watches I finally began to relax enough to enjoy some nosh.

A garden salad to start the meal with creamy french dressing.

*slurp*

Two amazing pieces of cheesy, queasy pizza. Definitely a meal that was a little heavier than I intended but I most definitely got in all of my water today, a nice workout at the gym and plenty of rest the night before. I feel good.... real good. ;)

Till tomorrow!

Test Run

Like so many awesome blogs out there (Kath Eats!) I wanted to try to start documenting my food intake by photo. Well I couldn't have picked a worse day for lighting. It is so rainy/cloudy outside this morning. Eww. However, with my new camera having no natural light doesn't seem to be a problem. Here are the first few amature photos:



1 and 1/4 cups Kashi H2H cereal
1 cup skim milk
4 strawberries
1 glass of water
1 whole food mulitvitamin


Very filling and delicious!


BTW this is the best multivitamin I have ever tried. Since it is made from whole foods the body absorbs it better. Most other multis I have tried have just wound up being expensive urine because there is no absorption. Too much info? :)

I can't promise that I will be able to post every meal in the beginning but I hope to get there soon.

Off to the gym!

Birthday Fun Fun!

Wowza! Where has the time gone? I had the best intentions of blogging the Monday following my bday but somehow time has gotten away from me once again. Can Can was amazing! I think we were there a total of 4 hours eating, drinking and being merry. I didn't over do the food but definitely indulged in the drinky poos. My wonderful friends got together a purchased this amazing gift for me:

I know, right!!! Now I can actually start documenting my food via photographs instead of boring old lists and maybe indulge my inner food blog geek by pretending I can actually create and cook delicious recipes. So far my thirty third year of life has been pretty sweet. :)

Cheers!!
