Craving Satisfied

I'm going to have to force myself to have different breakfasts as to not bore people but I am saying PANCAKES RULE! I wish I could have have one for all my meals today (and everyday, for the rest of my life). I also wish that this was NOT the current weather

That my friends is what we call TOO cold!

Apart from attempting to keep warm I had a good, quick, fairly uneventful Thursday which I'm totally cool with as the week winds down. I packed a big 'ole salad for my lunch last night and when I got it out of mini fridge this morning I discovered...




Guess that's what happens when you put it right under mini freezer?

Salad of spinach, yellow pepper, carrots, black eyed peas, kidney beans, and corn

Topped with salsa, wheat germ and sun-dried tomato vinaigrette 

Delicious and filling! I also had some skim milk with it.

Bike intervals always make me so hungry! Getting your heart rate up so high revs your metabolism, I was starving when I finally got back from class.
Hard boiled eggs with salsa and granny smith apple

I eat the WHOLE apple, including the core... no waste here =)

Dinner was of course fast and simple (theme of the week) and also fulfilled a craving sparked by my pre-workout snack this morning

Peanut butter and cottage cheese open face sandwich on whole wheat with cinnamon 

Broccoli with nutritional yeast and pumpkin with truvia and cinnamon

I dip the sandwich in the pumpkin as I go =). I would normally put it on if I toasted the bread but I don't have a toaster and it makes cold bread too soggy. 

This may seem odd but I LOVE  cottage cheese/ PB sandwiches! I often add honey too but just wasn't feelin it tonight. 

I had to eat earlier than normal as I am currently at work so I brought some bars and a string cheese with me because I will probably need a snack and I like options =). 

With that, I am off to try and entertain myself at work by picturing being back in my warm room...

Peace!

What's your favorite odd sandwich combo? I love this one! I also love faux turkey and jam and of course most of your standards 


What food do you love because it's healthy but tastes decadent? Peanut Butter! I also love sweet milk (skim with truvia)

Pocket Eggs



This morning when I put my giant, puffy, purple coat on I found a surprise in my pocket! I forgot I grabbed these yesterday from the little snack bar at my school where I stock up on fruit and milk and this was the easiest way to carry them... I think they'll still be alright!

Due to the weather my first class actually got cancelled today but somehow I wasn't on the e-mail list so I left my room and showed up anyway! I called my teacher only to find out no class! I would have preferred to have stayed in but I headed to the library got my bio studying for the day out of the way earlier! 

I usually eat lunch in class Tuesday so I took the pictures in advance but this was actually had in the library
Egg sandwhich with mushrooms, nutritional yeast and pickles on flax bread. May sound gross but it was gooooood! 

Paired with skim milk and "tropical bag"(grapefruit and dried pineapple chunks). 

I actually stretched this afternoon! I want to feel great for my run tomorrow and I do not stretch enough! So I did a stretch/study/snack session!

Wasa lite n' crisp crackers with cottage cheese, carrots and yellow bell peppers with hummus

Dinner was one of my go-to faves

Kidney beans with tahini and pepper
Broccoli and cauliflower with more nutritional yeast because it's so good and so good for you
Sweet potato with cinnamon
There are some apple slices and dark chocolate calling my for dessert! 
The weather is gettin buck crazy! Almost as crazy as pocket eggs! 

Peace!

How do you motivate yourself to stretch?
Are you INSANELY sick of winter?
