We were so out of food this morning, I had this x2
ww pita with walnut butter and agave
Then, an apple for snack, and a [...]

I just can’t get enough of that morning sun!
1/3 cup oats (cooked in 2/3 cup water)
Drizzle of agave
Almonds
Walnut butter
Coconut
Then at snacktime, I was presented with two lovely apples
My students are so sweet. I get an apple almost daily – and I fail to blog about it because I usually eat it immediately. I had the [...]

The baby shower was a success!
Before the guests started to arrive, I had a very thick green monster for lunch, and to prevent myself from snacking the afternoon away.
½ avocado
½ mango
Baby carrots
Spinach
cucumber
Applesauce
Vanilla soy milk
Water
It was super filling, and I actually didn’t eat any of the yummy food I prepared (I know it was yummy because [...]

Vanilla soy milk
Frozen raspberries
Frozen banana
Vanilla protein powder
Lotsa spinach
Water
Big spoonful of peanut butter
For lunch, [...]

Hello and Happy Monday!
I tried something new this morning and didn’t work out before school. Gasp!
This really is a big deal for me, as I’ve been compulsively exercising before school/work for 8 years – it’s just how I wake up. But this morning, I was exhausted, and instead of pushing myself to do a less [...]

Wednesdays seem to drag on…no? The longest day of the week, followed by my favorite day of the week tomorrow! I started off this long day with a brisk walk (for the doggie’s sake), and a batch of chocolate protein + almond butter.
I also took a green monster to school and drank it around 10:30 [...]

I started the day with pilates and this trashcan sized mug…
No, not coffee…(although I did have that later, too)
A monster! Of the green variety. Banana, raspberries, spinach, water.
I also had a piece of toast with almond butter about an hour later.
I finally found the jars at Sprouts…where else?
Lunch was light and enjoyable.
Hot water, Mix 1, [...]

I guess all of those early morning spin classes caught up with me today. Not only was I exhausted, but I was the hungriest I have been in a long time.
(By the way, spinning was awesome again this morning – hardest class yet. Plus, we watched a Warren Miller film, which reminded me of my [...]

Today flew by. It was 7 o’clock and I was at the grocery store picking up rolls, and then BAM it was 3:30 and the kids were walking out the door. It was a total blur, but we did a lot today. I didn’t get a potty break until about 3 o’clock, but it was [...]
