Meal by Meal

Thank you for entering my Lara Bar giveaway yesterday!

Happy Last Tuesday of the school year for me :)

Hopefully you had a lovely Monday and now a lovely Tuesday!

I thought it would be fun to share what I ate meal by meal.  I don’t usually do this because

  1. I am not a food blogger specifically
  2. It is a pain to record all of you meals
  3. I don’t usually have the time

But I did do it yesterday so here goes…….

I woke up and had my usual coffee with soy creamer:

Once I got to work I drank my smoothie made with Tempt Hemp Milk, Living Harvest Hemp Protein, Pom Juice, Frozen Berries, Almond Butter, Half  a Banana, and a tbsp of Cocoa Powder:

A couple hours later I ate this yogurt:

I am not a big fan of yogurt but I do like the Greek-style versions as of late. I really wanted to try Voskos because I had seen it on other blogs and it looked so good. 

I emailed the company and they were so great!  They sent me 5 free product coupons so I could try their yogurt :)   They are also fun to follow on twitter and facebook and are very supportive of blogs.

I tried the fig flavor first-love the little chunks of figs in the yogurt:

I would DEFINITELY buy this yogurt without a coupon next time!  I found it to be the perfect consistency and not too sweet or tart-just right :)

A few hours later I had my lunch of watermelon and a leftover salmon sandwich (I mixed the salmon with some avocado):

Yes those are two different types of bread!  Ran out of one…….hee hee

Later:

Much later:

So loving these bars……..creamy, crunchy, perfect!  Must buy more!

And for dinner a giant salad:

Wow I am tired, being a food blogger takes a lot of work!

Look who is staying with us until Friday or Saturday:

Well I am off to walk Pepsi and Lulu and get my bootie to work :)

Do you like taking pictures and documenting everything you eat?

It was fun for a day but too much work for me!

Have a great Tuesday lovelies :)

And Then There Were Rings

Today has been a great day :)

After I had a fabulous shake made with almond butter, almond milk, cocoa powder, hemp protein, POM, oats, and frozen berries:

I went on a 32 mile ride with Melanie and Sarah:

 And then came home and ate.  I was STARVING!  Biking really makes me hungry-more so than running.  In fact during my ride I ate through one package of these:

But it was not enough.  Once I got home I quickly made lunch.

I smeared avocado and cooked sweet potato between two slices of wheat bread:

Best sandwich ever with an orange from a friends back yard.  It was heaven!

Then Bill and I ventured to Ormachea, a jewelry store in downtown Ventura.  They make all of their own designs and all jewelry is specially made just for you.

Remember how I told you we ran off like silly birds and got married at the court-house in December?  Well we never got rings.

Today we ordered them :)   They are being made just for us.

Here is what mine will look like:

I love the square shape and brushed look-so modern!

I can’t wait to get it!

Now I am kicking it and blogging and soon Bill and I are headed to a friend’s house for a BBQ.  Should be a lot of fun.

Hope you are having a great day too :)

Thanks for reading friends!
