Rain. Boo. Good thing I was stocked up with these little silk soy milks 🙂
So I had 2 cups of coffee (basically a latte with the massive amount of vanilla creamer and soy milk I used) to which I added stevia for some sweetening. I also had a soy milk by itself while I watched yesterday’s (2 hour season premiere) episode of Grey’s Anatomy that I had tivo-ed. Here’s my review: HORRIBLE! I couldn’t even finish the episode, it was that bad. Seriously, I can’t even believe how ridiculously awful the show has become. So sad.
After a few errands, it was lunch time, so I decided to try out Wednesday’s new purchase, lemon pepper smart tenders. I figured I’d like them since they are by Lightlife (I mean, I can’t live without their other products, especially the smart deli “turkey”).
My review: They were very pepper-y and since I’m not a big fan of pepper I think next time I will get the “savory chick’n” flavor. They were definitely good though, and since it is hard to find a non-meat substitute for chicken that actually tastes like chicken, I was pleasantly surprised at how close this came. I will definitely buy it again. I think for future meals, it would be even better sauteed…maybe cut into chunks and added into a risotto or pasta dish with other veggies so the pepper flavor can be diffused by other food. I think I have some good ideas, so stay tuned.
I went to the gym after lunch and had a great workout! New music purchases on iTunes always lends itself to a high intensity gym sesh! I did ab work on the mats after and then stretched forever…I was kinda delaying leaving the gym because it was raining outside again.
I picked up a treat on the way home 🙂 soy latte #3 (but only my first starbucks one for the day)

Pre-dinner snack was half the bag of edamame (post dinner snack was the other half)
Talk about a protein loaded day! All I wanted for dinner was even more “chicken” so I heated up some Health is Wealth vegan chicken-free nuggets. I love these, and the smell of them cooking always makes Kyle want to steal them away from me.
BBQ sauce and honey mustard on the side. Mmmm…
After dinner (and the presidential debate) I went out to meet up with Kyle and his boy posse (he had dinner at Rosa Mexicana with some of his work friends). I was the only girl for the night, but I didn’t really care. We went to The Rusty Knot and I had a pretty gross glass of white wine. To say the menu was minimalist would be an understatement, there were 3 types of beer (one of which nobody had ever heard of) and one red and one white wine (which I later discovered were from a box)! One of the boys ordered their special (a word I use reluctantly to describe the concoction), called a “dark and stormy” which was dark rum, ginger soda, and some kind of beer (?)…nasty. The drink was passed around all night but still didn’t get finished. I’m not sure I will be going back there. Still, the night was fun and I got to see people that I don’t work with, so it was still a good Friday night.
