TGIF

Hi all! I'm blogging a little earlier than usual. I had a doctor's appointment, and now I have about 20 minutes until class starts.

My breakfast looks pretty similar to my dinner last night.


No spinach on the sandwich though.

I feel a lot better eating fresh fruit in the morning. I need to remember that.

I packed a few snacks since I'm going to be working on campus and eating a latish dinner with the boyfriend. Today is our "date night." We haven't decided what to do yet.

I'm excited about lunch/my snack though.

I'll see you after class!

Earth Day!

What do you do to help the earth?

I spent most of the afternoon sleeping so no electricity. Does that count?

I knew it was going to be a busy day at work, and I wasn't sure how long I would have for lunch so I started out with a pretty calorie dense breakfast.


Overnight oats. Topping with Almond Butter, Kashi Go lean, blueberries.

It kept me pretty full for a while. I did manage to get a very, very quick lunch between school groups, so I made a frozen dinner.

It doesn't look that appealing, but it was pretty tasty.


Sweet n sour "chicken" from morningstar farms. This had carrots, peppers, pineapple, and brown rice.

I had an unpictured strawberry shortcake for Administrative Professional's Day. They brought it in for some of the workers.

I took a nap with this guy after work.


I named him Phantom. I don't know if I ever made an announcement here! He has a total Phantom of the Opera mask, and he is super sweet.

Since I had fake meat for lunch, I knew I didn't want to have it for dinner. I was dreaming of eggs (seriously) during my nap, so made an egg sandwich. I wanted more veggies today, so I cooked some spinach with evoo to add on top.


Trader Joe's had fresh berries, and the blackberries were AWESOME. I'm so excited. I love berries.

This weekend is the Earth Day celebration in Forest Park, and the Tower Grove Farmer's Market is there. I think I might check it out on Thursday.

Fewer Meat Subs Experiment

I am so uncreative with titles for my blog posts. I should get better with that.

After my last post, I went to my first WW meeting in like a month or so. I really liked this leader. I want to keep going to her, so I'm going to figure out how to swing that with my schedule.

On my way back I stopped by trader joe's to pick up some fun, protein packed meal ideas.

I decided to replicate what I get from Chipotle, a burrito bowl.

I was super excited to find this at Trader Joe's


I don't like tomatoes (weird, I know), so I love Chipotle's corn salsa. This helped my laziness.

Here is my taco salad!


I used baby argula, black beans, a tsp of the corn salsa, fat free plain greek yogurt, and guacamola.

Excellent dinner for about half the points as Chipotle.

I am eating some hummus with whole wheat pita now!

It is going to be a long day tomorrow with a lot of kids at the museum, so I made a protein packed over night oats. I think I'll ad almond butter and fruit to it in the morning.

Good night all!
