I went to bed sooo late last night because I was waiting for Kyle to finish his homework (yes, he has homework). Too bad for me that didn’t end up being until 1 am. I wasn’t too concerned because, hey, it’s not like I have a job or anything. But instead of sleeping in and regaining those lost hours, I was up and at ‘em at 7:30. 😡
6 hours of sleep? Meh. Not bad, but not a routine I want to roll with all the time. The early rise and shine did give me time to get a sh!t ton of work done though, which included the creation of a mighty fine mocha beverage.
Carob + coffee.
Who would’ve known that just one tsp of carob powder mixed in my morning coffee could make such a difference! Top ‘o le manana indeed-y (how’s that for a smorgasbord of languages?).
Guess what I had for breakfast? Crunch. Anyone else crave carrots at 10 am. I know there must be others out there, too.
I spent allllll morning doing job application stuff. Seriously, some one hire me.
I would’ve gone to Starbucks for maximal productivity (it’s like my red zone – football reference anyone?), but I was waiting on a repairman. The guy was supposed to arrive before 11 am, but wouldn’t you know it, he called at 11:45 saying he was running late. Uhhhh…no sh!t sherlock. He finally arrived at 12:30, conveniently RIGHT as I sat down to lunch. Perfect.
My lunch was worth the wait.
Ciabatta.
Kale sautéed in EVOO & Bragg’s liquid aminos.
Avocado.
Hand-mashed cannellini beans.
Put it all together now.
The juice from the kale soaked into the bread a bit making it perfectly moist, but not soggy. The outside of the bread was still fresh and crispy and as we all know, avocado makes everything 1 million times better.
Basically, the sandwich was perfection.
Once I handled ma biz around the apartment, I ran out for some errands.
And came home starving…which is why this thing Daiya and hummus monstrosity looks like a hot mess of a snack. No worries, it tasted ah-maze.
Plus I washed it all down with a naranja fizzy pop and apple numero tres of the day. Holler!
Instead of running along the beach (my typical fitness activity as of late), I had a cool and exciting workout date. One of my girlfriends is really into Krav Maga, and she took me as a guest to a class. Oh my goodness, it was a blast! So much energy, so much fun, so much punching and kicking! It’s now a full day later and I’m feeling the burn all over the place. Random back muscles that I hardly knew existed are aching. Don’t mistake this for a bad thing though, I love feeling sore because it means I busted out of my workout comfort zone.
Anyone else tried Krav Maga before?
Pre-workout electrolytes.
Going into the class, all I knew was the name: bag class. I figured that meant punching bags, but other than that I was going in with no background knowledge whatsoever. It was intense in the best way possible. In case you couldn’t tell, I loved it. I may have to get a membership…once I have an income…
Before leaving the casa, I had mostly prepped dinner, so all I had to do once I got home was assemble it.
Sweet taters and kale – steamed and tupped.
Nooch and Bragg’s – condiment all stars.
And dried cranz for good measure somethin’ sweet.
Solid, simple ingredients. Yummy clean eating 🙂
My body was hungry for dessert a few hours later so I did tha damn thang. Super salty assorted nuts + carob chips + raisins. These were the last of our massive (Costco sized) tub of nuts. Uh-oh. :P
Don’t forget to enter my latest giveaway. It’s a good one!
YES! I have totally had morning carrot cravings…sometimes at work I end up eating my “lunch” for breakfast. 🙂
Ahh how annoying that the repairman happened to show up RIGHT when you were ready to tackle that beautiful sandwich! Oh man….totally reminds me of my situation here. Whenever i’m ready to sit down and eat/catch up on a fave show/relax for a few (in the soror house)–tons of girls have to be around talking as loud as ever. It’s fab 😀
Hope the interview went well today!! And remind me to get some of that carob powder! XOXOX
Avocado and Kale? You are a genius!
🙂
I’m pretty sure I crave carrots 24/7. Hence, why I go through several pounds per week:)
Krav Maga is awesome and everyone should try it!.. are you going to go back?
for those of you who don’t know what it is, check out our new clip! (feel free to share it with your fiends!)
Nooch+Bragg’s=Best Condiments EVER.
yeah! im really hoping to get a membership once i have a job (and, ahem, a paycheck).
