Rain on my parade

I love summer Fridays because Kyle has half days…that said, it’s useless when the weather is this crappy.

Nothing but gray skies and pitter patter all day long.  Boo hoo.

Coffee – check!

Kyle was a little noisy this morning, so I was up early (read: too early)…which is why coffee was froth-ified and breakfast was on the GRANDE side (as far as AM eating goes).

I was craving fruit in a may-jerrrrrr way, so in addition to the plate heaped with pineapple, watermelon, strawberries, and grapes, I had a blueberry Chobz with raisins.

Hit.the.spot.

The bright and cheery fruit even made me forget that it wasn’t sunny outside (for a few seconds at least…).

Breakfast – check!

I still wasn’t all that awake, so I continued to veg on the couch (rough life).  It’s hard to be motivated when you are perfectly comfortable watching the hotness that is Bradley and Anderson Cooper in your PJs. 

I didn’t fight it too hard…I read blogs and the time flew by.  Before I knew it, my tummy was ready for lunch.  It was only 11!  Uh. Ok.  Sure, why not!?

Vegan “cheese” (veggie slices) and avocado sammie.

T’was perfecto!  But lacking in the hummus department

IMG_2838

Never fear, I remedied the sitch, and all was right in the world again :) 

You guys were right, my extra $ from my Kombucha-free Thursday went directly to my Sabra fund.

My grubbing continued into the early afternoon, with more hummus and veggies.

As well as some raw animal hide dried mango and dried papaya.

Finally, I got my butt in gear and made my way to the gym. 

Lazy pants that I was, I grabbed a magazine on the way (I knew no amount of trashy TV was going to hold me for a decent workout, so as per Caroline’s suggestion, I grabbed the latest Newsweek.

The article on Oprah only reinforced my feelings about her.  I know a lot of peeps love her, so rather than go on a rant about her lack of research and mindless endorsements, I’ll let you read it for yourself.  Testimonials are great and all, but science is science, and fact is fact.

Even though it was still pouring when I left the gym, I knew I couldn’t POSSIBLY survive another night without re-stocking a few key supplies. 

My latest obsessions were dangerously low, and that’s not okay in the HHH household!  I decided to try a new flavor Kombucha (above) after my shower…and since I was at it, I sampled a few sesame oat bran sticks too (below).

Sesame Oat Bran Sticks = LOVE.

I also picked up a few more newbies (I’ve given up on trying to reform my grocery shopping addiction).

IMG_2839

I know they aren’t Sabra, but they were just so cute.

Kyle and I snuggled up to watch It’s Always Sunny, while I did some more afternoon snacking tried not to fall asleep.  I have NO CLUE why I was so tired, but I literally couldn’t keep my eyes open for the life of me.  I hate napping because it only makes it harder for my at night (TWSS)…so I went with the next best thing (toasty hot english muffin with hummus).

IMG_2842

That’s the badger!!

(Sorry for the wanker terms, but my fiancé works for a Brit company, so sometimes they slip out).

You would think all this nibbling would have ruined my appetite for dinner.  But you’d be wrong.  😀

IMG_2843

This was WAY too big.  All I freakin’ wanted were the sesame crispers on top, and somehow I ended up with a 10 lb. salad!  Don’t get me wrong, it was out-of-this-world delish, and in the end, I was definitely satisfied – so it was probably better that I had a more balanced meal (as opposed to a tub of salty sticks).

IMG_2831

Strawbeezies for deezer!  I sprinkled cinn/stevia on top after the pic, and it was DE-vine!

IMG_2729

Plus a few dried pineapple rings :)  My sweet tooth CAN’T be stopped.

Bed time – this is my work weekend kiddos, so enjoy the time off for me.

    I love tribe hummus! Then again, I haven't seen sabras around here so maybe I am just missing out! Cinnamon and strawberries? Sounds like an awesome combo!

  2. Steph Runs the City

    i'm also addicted to sabra hummus :)sadly i'm allergic to avocados, but that sammie looked good!

  3. Julie

    when i read your blog i want fruit.
    oh and hummus..

    uhhh i saw the sesame sticks at WF tonight and thought of you. weird? maybe..

  4. A. Fogarty

    They sell mini sabras in 12-packs at Costco, FYI!

  5. Brooke

    Did I just really just flip my laptop 90 degrees to read that your sabra was only $2.99???? WHAT?! I bought a tub for $5 today! Damn California and their skeevy prices on hummus!

    I had a dream that I ate a whole bag of sesame sticks.. maybe that is a sign I should go buy some? But then again, I don't want to eat the whole bag and look even more bloated than I already am (I'm currently lying on the floor with a heating pad, fyi. TMI)

    Heart chu FBOOK FRIEND!

  6. nicoleishappy

  7. SuzanneRN

    Once again, your food = amazing. And the rain is ridic. It better clear up in the am…grrr!

  8. ksgoodeats

    I was definitely ahhhing over Anderson Cooper yesterday – what a man! Oh THANK GOODNESS you got your hummus stash! I was worried!!

    I'm not much of an Oprah girl either and what sealed the deal was her vegan 'diet'. Grrrr! Gluck with work!! Save some lives or something 😉

  9. lilveggiepatch

    Sabra is a totally necessary splurge. As much as I love the homemade stuff, it has a creamy goodness that can't be beat. I'm also loving all of your dried fruit goodies… I haven't had dried papaya in so long!

    Also, YES, we need to make a date ASAP… in a couple weeks when I get back? I can't wait to meet you!

  10. jenngirl

    That avocado/veggie cheese sammie is sounding really delicious!

    Those snacker hummus tubs are too cute! I love my sabra, but I'm also a sucker for snack sized things 😉

  11. Sarah Mila

    That fruit platter looks delish, there's nothing better than fresh fruit and veggies :). I really want to try those Kombucha drinks!

  12. ellie

    your salads always look so good! Mine end up huge as well by the time I add all the oh-so-necessary bits and bobs! I finally got to replenish my hummus supply…been TOO long!

    Hope the weather is better today!

  13. Courtney

    Your breakfast fruit looks SO delicious! I love fresh simple fruit :o)

    We had gorgeous perfect weather all week while I was at work, and now it is *finally* Saturday, and it is raining! Grrr. I feel your frustration! I was planning on spending the day outside…no fair.

    More kombucha! Oh no…I hope it was good :o)

  14. Nutritious is Delicious

    What a beautiful fruit plate! YUM!

    Be careful…those sesame sticks are ADDDDDICTING!

  15. HangryPants

    I really like Oprah, but sometimes she annoys me. Well to be specific it's the Best Life Diet that annoys me! So, I want to read that asap.
