Sushi Time

I am back from my dinner and don't have any pics to show for it, first time hanging out with my friend in years so I strayed from taking a pic of my food. But it was very tasty! I had an Eel Roll with cucumber and sweet sauce, and Yellowtail sushi with lots of ginger and wasabi!!! It was a nice meal, not too filling but satisfied me so I feel good!

It was sooooo awesome to see this girl, it was like we had spent NO time apart. There was a lot of catching up to do and a lot of similar stories shared! I love connecting with people from my past, I feel it has been really hard for me to find decent girl friends as I get older, and this friendship feels real and right! Yeah! I told her about my blog and in her words "what do you do on a blog?" WOW there was a lot of explaining to do! I forget that not everyone blogs and it might seem odd to people who don't :) I guess I am a nerd, but it's cool cause so are all you guys! Just Kidding!

After my bfast and some laundry I did a 20 min yoga download for free! It was Gentle Hatha Yoga #1- I thought it was nice to listen to and easy to follow but WAY to easy. So my next download will be either intermediate or power or something much longer!!!! But it was still nice to stretch and warm up the body!
This afternoon I had some lil snacks- snack #1 chocolate
I know this pic is blurry!!!
Snack #2- 2 hours before I left for dinner I had this new flavor Cliff and a spoon of Fage 0%:

I love this flavor, I find Cliff bars can all kinda taste the same or be very close with the nuts and stuff, so I really like this fruit flavor! No nuts, just fruit and grains. The apricot flavor is there but subtle and not fake tasting which I love, a bit tart and a bit sweet (like me)!

I am now going to catch up on your blogs and try to not get into my pj's ( I was in them most of the day!) until Sean gets home from work! I hate it when he sees me in the morning in bed then when he gets home I'm in pj's! So I will try to stick out my cute outfit until he at least walks in the door!

Goodnight everybody! Love!

Whole Foods!

I love Whole Foods!!! I wish it weren't so dang expensive! I even love just walking around and seeing all the good healthy and new products!!! I will show you my loot later in the post. I broke my bank a bit but I find I can get most my needed groceries at TJ's and be done with it!

For bfast this morning I had a late start and was planning on making a smoothie with some Whey Protein powder I bought at 24 Hour but didn't have the time (are smoothies even time consuming prob not:) so I fixed myself a bowl of cereal with 1 cup Kashi Sunshine, my last cup of Quaker Oatmeal Squares, 1/2 cup Heritage flakes, 1 over ripe banana ( I need to make some of Veggiegirl's banana fig muffins!!!) 1/2 shot raisins, 1/2 shot Craisins and 1.5 cups of skim milk.

My bowl was FULL:

At work today it was a co-worker's birthday! So there was cake!! Not just any birthday cake but a Double Chocolate cake, dense and rich!!! I wish I had a pic, but I am not doing the "taking pics of what I eat" yet at work. So I had 1/2ish a piece and a nonfat Cappuccino to go with my yummmy treat!!!! For lunch I had no room and no time for a real meal so I ran home to grab a Peppermint Stick Luna Bar. You see Ella checking out the goods!

When I got home I had to run back out to shop for the Fashion Island photo shoot so I sliced and apple and had the last of my Fage 0% with 2 chopped Figs and a shot of almonds-Yummm!

So Whole Foods!!!! I was way to tired to cook tonight, having done a double work day, so Sean and I ventured out to the Whole Foods near our house and got the hot food bar for dinner. Mine included: BBQ Tofu, Wheat berry curry, cauliflower, rice with cilantro and pine nuts, Chinese broccoli with garlic, a beet, and my fave dish there; Lima Beans with green olives and garlic-soooooo tasty, they were a bit dry tonight but still good as ever!

I also got the Brown rice veggie sushi! I started with half and finished the rest as we browsed. I love ginger on my sushi!

I was not planning on getting all my weeks worth of groceries and ended up just getting some randoms. The main event: Larabars!!!! Ok Ok I know I just made some hand made ones at home to save moola and all but I have never tired these flavors and the walnuts in my version tend to give me an itchy throat if I eat too many ( I have a slight allergy). So I invested in all these new flavors!!!! And 2 new Cliff bars! I was looking for the White Chocolate Macadamia nut but they don't have them yet:(

I also bought the ingredients I needed to make the Banana Fig Muffins found here: http://veggiegirlvegan.blogspot.com/2009/01/no-more-delays-heres-recipe.html

Fewww what a day! The rest of my night includes: TV (Inside the Actor's Studio with Ricky Gervais-love him and The White House: Closed Doors), make lunch for tomorrow, shower, SLEEP!!!

Hope you all have a great night!
