Working Wednesdays

I'm back at the library. The end of the semester crunch time is upon us, so I'm starting to work here again. I haven't spent any serious time here since I turned in my thesis.

First the food and at the end I have some exciting news.

I started off the morning with overnight oats. This time with new toppings!



Topped with a tablespoon of Dark Chocolate Dreams and a handful of Cinnamon Harvest Kashi. I really wanted the crunch to go with it. Very delicious.

I had a late lunch.




This is my version of a bacon cheeseburger (I didn't come up with it). Morningstar Farms veggie bacon, a boca burger, and laughing cow on a bagel thin. Side of broccoli.

Yum.

I wanted a snack before heading to the library. I decided to try this Green super food I had picked up at whole foods.



Chocolate flavor.

I mixed it with a frozen banana, almond milk, and spinach.




It tasted too grassy for me. I decided to use this and mix it with cherries and a WW chocolate smoothie mix. It tasted much better.

I'll just have to add the regular to my normal smoothie from now on.

SO, my exciting news.

I think I'm going to sign up for the Rock n Roll Chicago Half Marathon in August. My dad is going to run it with me. I'm going to wait until May to sign up, so I can see how training is going.

I'm really excited!!!

Wednesday

First off hi new followers!!

I'm at a film screening right now. We co-sponsored an event with another group AND we have an event tomorrow. We have a lot of money to spend.

I started out my day with the overnight oats I made last night.




This time I had added frozen cherries to it. It was awesome. I added a little agave nectar.

Before class I had a green smoothie.




This was a chocolate WW smoothie mix with frozen cherries, half a banana, almond breeze, and spinach. I think the chocolate smoothie mix might be too overpowering for other fruit flavors. I'll have to try the vanilla flavor of random protein mixes I bought from whole foods.

During my class break I had green beans at the place on campus.



They were pretty good. Kind of oily though.

I wasn't that hungry right when I was done with class but I knew I needed to eat.

I bought this at whole foods last night and decided to try it.




I love things I can make in the microwave.

I ate this on a bagel thin with kale! Yay I'm glad I have kale again.




I wanted some chocolate, so I had half of this. Also a whole foods purchase.




It was pretty good. Half of it was all I needed.

I forgot to take a picture of my dinner. I had a black bean burger with swiss! Also delicious.

Screening over! I can go home. Yay!

Dinner

I'm currently at a film screening of the Best Picture winner The Hurt Locker. I'm co-president of a student group on campus. My other co-president is training to take over when I graduate in May. AHHHH.

I was still hungry after lunch. I think it is because it is my first day back 100% OP in a while.

I had a very filling dinner though and feel much better.



Boca burger with swiss and avocado on a bagel thin. Kale sauteed with tsp of evoo and a clove of garlic.

I love kale. Yum. I could eat it all the time. I also love garlic. I eat a lot of it. Delicious.

The avocado was a new purchase from the grocery store. I've never tried avocado before. I smashed it up with some salt and pepper and spread it on the burger.



It was delicious. I liked the flavor. I still have a few more avocados to use (they were four for five dollars so DBF bought four).

I knew I would need a snack for the screening. The co-president brought candy, so I wanted something to resist it.



Tada! Green smoothie.

I made mine with WW chocolate smoothie mix, 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond breeze, 1 cup of spinach, and a frozen banana.

Delicious. You don't taste the spinach at all. The first time I made this, I didn't blend it enough so it still had chunks of spinach.

I brought a banana with me too.

Back to the screening and homework!
