I woke with a tummy ache today :(  so I started the day off with tea.

I had the last of my Holiday Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride Tea, so my second mug was blueberry green tea.

I really like the sugar cookie tea, I’m going to have to get that one again.  SO good.  Then I had some toasted Alvarado street bread with peanut butter and cinnamon and stevia sprinkled on top.  This bread is the best, and as we all know, peanut butter is the solution to everything IN LIFE, so I was feeling pretty solid after this.

Lunch was an egg scramble with egg beaters, tofu and Earthbound greens.

It was goooood and the protein loading gave me mega-energy, so I was off to the gym.  My work out was CRAZY long.  I did 60 minutes on the elliptical at levels 10-12, then 30 minutes on the tread mill (fast AND inclined), followed by 30 minutes of abs, arms, and stretching.  I actually could have kept going, but I didn’t want to be sore at work the next day.  Once I got home I had a snack to hold me over until dinner.  This PM snack was also the one I entered in the OhSheGlows contest IMG_0371

YUM!  Open faced PB&J with nanners and cinnamon on top.  The balance of all the ingreds can’t be beat.  It provides energy when you need it the most, but more importantly, it tastes good. 

Dinner was hummus-y because after reading GlidingCalm’s blog, I was in a Sabra kind of mood.

GN veggie burger, lettuce (Earthbound obvi), and a POUND of sabra hummus, all on a WW english muffin.  Boo-ya!

The hummus MADE the dish.  These were Thomas english muffins because the store was out of Ezekiel ones (boo).  They were good, but not as thick and chewy as Ezek.  Still, they did the trick.  I also had some carrots with hummus.

Plus another hummus dollop and the rest of the baby carrots.

I was craving something sweet in a major way, and then I realized why.  I haven’t had any fruit (dried or fresh) ALL DAY!!  Whoa!?  So not like me…so I had some coconut date rolls.

Followed by MORE coconut date rolls, and an apple with coconut and cinnamon sprinkled on top.  Sugary fruity yum.

This is my first of 4 glasses of tea (sugar cookie sleigh ride)…it is almost worth making JUST to say the name.

I creamed K in Rumikube :)  Yeah, we are that couple…board games on a school night.  I guess that’s what happens when it’s 10-20 degrees outside.  Can’t fight that.

Also I finally added an “about me” page if any peeps are interested.  I’m not too hip with computer stuff though so I hope the link works.
