Today was a repeat of yesterday. Kyle dragged me out of bed by 9, but it wasn’t until I smelled the coffee brewing, that I actually began to perk up. Like yesterday, I mixed the choc/raspberry blend with the regular starbucks blend. Unlike yesterday, today’s coffee came out way more raspberry flavored. I guess since it’s a blend, there’s no telling which flavor will come through stronger, but I think I preferred yesterday’s.
I added a LOT of silk to it (way more than I usually do) to try to downplay the raspberry. I also toasted the end piece (fave!!) of bread and lathered on some I.M. Healthy soynut butter.
And the last of my figs…
Crossword time! My sugar cookie sleigh ride tea is going out with a bang :)
Lunch: GN veggie burger on an english muffin (with greek yogurt and half an avocado)
And my daily manzana 🙂
Here’s where the day gets a little orange…
Dried papayas gave me the sugar loading necessary to get me to the gym (I was NOT in the mood). I managed to get a crappy 30 minutes in on the elliptical before I had to vacate the machine for the next person in line…the gym scene on the weekends when its 30 degrees is ridic!!! Whatever. I was happy to ditch. Snuggling on the couch is way better for my relationship anyways.
Pre-dinner I snacked on carrots and my first love, Sabra.
I also had some BN squash (which also made its way into the hummus). Then I popped some of these in the oven…
I wasn’t joking about the orange…
Naturally, hummus was caked on ALL of this!
I felt like I was a little carb deficient, though…
Not to worry, I cut up a few pieces of Alvarado street bread to dip in the rest of the hummus.
You better believe it – I finished the entire container!
Then I had another apple (just cause). My hunger would NOT subside. I never understand why some day this happens, but why fight it?
Dates AND carob covered raisins. Great on their own, but SO much better together!
Somehow this slipped in, too. I was watching the Oscars, so I wasn’t completely paying attention…
I’m not gonna lie, Giuliana Rancic is WAY annoying. Talk about an overzealous, cracked out celeb whore! (sorry for the language) I did enjoy the red carpet pre-show crap, but I think she and Ryan are far better left on mute. If you watched the Oscars, who do you think looked the best? I though Amy Adams was gorgeous! And even though Jennifer Aniston has always seemed kinda blah in the personality department, she looked great – eat your heart out Mr. Pitt.
Now head over to Every Gym’s Nightmare to win some sweet exercise gear!
I’m liking the food for the day. Yum! I missed the oscars:( But from the sounds of it, I guess I didn’t miss much!
HAve a great week!
Love your eats! I am definitely going to try to get some Sabra HUMMUSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
I always go for the Sabra, but I’m too damn cheap to spend 5 bucks on it!!! THanks for your well wishes- my gramps is at Cedars-Sinai, and in the cardiac unit, your hood! He’s hopefully going to a rest home place in a week, but he’s too unstable to leave right now 🙁 We’d rather he be in the hospital though ya know. Have a great night! PS I totally *know* those girls u named, except they graduated like as I was coming in!
Snuggling on the couch is way better for my relationship anyways…agreed!
Wow, you definitely got in your Vitamin A for the day.
I have those snacky days too, but it usually happens out of boredom for me.
I thought Freida Pinto looked amazing – she is the cutest thing. Beautiful!
FIIIIGS!! DAAATES!! 😀
I liked Kate Winslet’s dress.
I’m about to go to the gym and I’m planning on watching Giuliana interview the celebs for an hour! I’m excited to see the dresses!
I love that you killed off the hummus. It’s gotta be done!
Girl – way to make me proud on killin’ that hummus!
I can’t STAAAAAAAAAND E’s coverage of the Oscars – those two are obnoxious! I loved Reese’s dress and I was SO happy Kate won!
I’m a big fan of Reese W and thought that she looked great..
and hooray for the end piece! My roommate always gets to it before I do 🙁

Your post reminded me I need to pick up more figs! My prunes have taken a backseat to the lovely fig. 🙂
Have you had the Morningstar Spicy Black Bean burger? Those are probably one of my favorites.
Great eats! I’ve loving the lunch on Ezekiel muffins … yum!
