I’m going to make this one quick… today is a little overwhelming at work!
I started yesterday off with a quick workout at the gym — just about 25 minutes of biking (all my knee can really handle at the moment) to get my metabolism started for the day.
Breakfast: not-at-all overnight oats, which really is just more like… raw oats and vanilla yogurt with a whole banana, sliced. I have it all the time. I’m obsessed with it.
Plus, all of the ingredients are free at the office, which is awesome.
Lunch: The Super Spinach Salad from Trader Joe’s, which I love. However, I replaced the dressing that comes with it with leftover balsamic vinaigrette from the salad I’d had from the day before because I am completely obsessed with that dressing.
Snack #1: Cheese Stick. I am so into these lately.
Snack #2: Cocoa Roast Almonds.
Have you tried these yet? If not, don’t walk, but RUN to the nearest grocery store. These things are the bomb!!!
Yes, the bomb. You like it.
I also may or may not have nibbled on an amazing cookie — double chocolate pecan — made by a co-worker.
Totally worth the calories. And the stomach-ache. Whatever. It was so good.
For dinner, I went out with a friend of mine to Lala’s, which is an Argentinian restaurant and one of my all-time faves out here.
I started off with a slice of bread.
I also split a small pitcher of Sangria with Tyler (the friend I went to dinner with, of course), which somehow went unpictured. I was probably too busy drinking it. The sangria, not Tyler.
Awkward.
Dinner was the Vegetable Plate, which is a skewer of grilled veggies. It comes with mashed potatoes, rice and salad, but I figure mashed potatoes offer enough starch and I just get double salad.
Works like a charm. Happy belly.
What are you eating today?
I’m eating Lala’s right now. Their rice salad is off the CHAIN! (Off the chain is almost as cool as the bomb.)
haven’t been to lala’s in forever!
Is that salad from TJ’s not the best! I’m a huge fan of the dressing though…bad garlic breath afterwards though!
Haha that’s kind of why I don’t like it that much!
Loving your breakfast–as that’s what I eat all the time! A little sprinkle of cinnamon or some cocoa powder brings it to new levels. Just saying. 🙂
Oooh good tip! Thank you!
