Valentine's Day!

Happy V-Day everybody!!! I am doing a recap of yesterday because my new TV was being funky so we had the cable shut down for while to get it fixed and I could not get on the Internet. So yesterday's eats started with a Japanese Bfast of Miso soup and Brown rice:
I loved it! It is fun and very healthful and filling! A way to switch up my oatmeal routine and try something new.
I found that it didn't hold me that long. I think it was more mental than a physical hunger. Eating rice for bfast just didn't feel like bfast so I snacked around 9:30 on a balance bar (no pic)
For lunch I brought my new fave thing to grill; an Almond butter sandwich!!! I put pumpkin butter instead of jelly and added a banana because I didn't have one with bfast:

When I got home from work I had this lil guy:
For dinner I had left over WW pasta with kale and marinara sauce with water chestnuts and beets on the side:
Quite a weird combo I must say but good! For dessert I had this rice pudding:
And some raisins and an apple:
Today I had a more traditional bfast; Cereal with a sliced banana and raisins with a small orange:
For lunch I had no time to prepare anything to bring to work, yes I worked on a Saturday! So I made a "through it together" lunch of a rice pudding, apple and a Larabar. A new flavor for me and I really liked it! Not too chocolaty and not too coconuty...just right!
I also had this new drink:
It was good, not the best texture, a bit grainy, but nice and really good for you!
I came home from work to this:
I LOVE my BF he is just the sweetest! We are going to dinner and maybe a movie depending on the time. I love going out to dinner on this holiday. Even though it is always over priced and crowded and sappy, I just love the idea of it!
Well I am off to get ready for this evening of romance (wink wink) Hope you all have a wonderful loving day!
xoxo
