Today for breakfast I tried something new. Although not terribly inventive, my Fage fat-free yogurt hit the spot. I combined a cup with some fruit and almonds and topped my yogurt with a tablespoon of honey. Once mixing it all together, it was a pretty hearty breakfast. I had my new favorite chocolate shake from Vega Shake and Go Smoothie and an iced coffee. This carried me through lunch and then some. Love it!
Prior to enjoying some leftovers at lunch, I pushed through 45 minutes on the elliptical trainer. It was a great workout today and definitely kept my mind at ease and fully focused on various odds and ends that had to accomplished this afternoon. Come lunchtime, I did reach for the Lean and Beefy Taco Salad, turkey-style. Today, I added a tablespoon of fat-free sour cream from Lucerne. Another keeper!
Dinner also witnessed some leftovers action with Baked Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta. You can't go wrong with this dish, for it's high in protein and mighty tasty. I am also obsessed with fresh dill. Once more, I paired it up with some mixed greens, chopped cucumber, and kalamata olives. I love this little version.
After dinner, Ryan and I took a field trip to the biggest Whole Foods ever. Well, it's definitely the largest one we've ever been to. I could spend several hours with its never-ending isles of sooooooo many good foods, plus there's a bar and a handful of mini eateries. Ample parking with 400 spots. This is *huge* after years of living in NYC without a car and little space. We also made our own trail mix at the DIY-trail mix bar (next time I'm there, I'm so taking photos!). I made mine with sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, chocolate chips, and hemp granola. Totally completed my awesome day!
The job angels must have been listening because I'm in the final stages of completing a freelance deal with one of my very favorite news outlets. Details TBA soon. Thanks sooooooooo much for all of your comments and for all of your support. It's so wonderful to meet so many of you in this forum. Y'all rock!
