I've seen them all...

...Or have I?! Apparently not because I am currently watching Food Network Challenge-Chocolate Landmarks. Remember the Food Magicians from yesterday?! I love this show! And there is a new episode of Chopped on tonight! Oh, the things that excite me...

Anyways, I didn't post yesterday; but I do want to share a picture of my lunch with you all....MMM! Gotta love the crunch of those Ian's Fish Sticks! :D

I woke up bright and early this morning and was feeling up to getting out of the house! So after one week of not going ANYWHERE, I got up at 7AM and got ready for the gym (Yay!). Before heading out (at 8:30), I put my new SunButter Sample to good use.

I drizzled about 1/3 of the packet over a Kashi Heart to Heart Waffle and it wasn't too shabby. Honestly though, the sunflower flavor was very prominent and I think I prefer AB or PB! In my opinion, Sunflowers should remain whole for salads and ball games...unless you have allergies to nuts...then you might enjoy this product! I enjoyed a nice pilates class and rushed home to shower, get ready, eat and go to work! As quick as light, I was ready and in the kitchen. I decided on a grilled tuna sandwich with lots of mustard, carrots, mozzarella and romaine. Alongside, I had a peach and a plum. The peach was on it's verrrry last leg (but still tasted okay) and the plum was at the peak of perfection! Just how I like it!

And I was gone...

...Until 5:00, when I came home and got 1.5T Chia Seeds soaking in 1/2 cup milk, while I changed for the gym.

Chia Seeds are so funky! Here's their mug shot after a good 15 minute soaking!

I threw the Chia Mixture in the blender along with:

• 1 frozen, chopped banana
• About 5 frozen Cherries (more for color than flavor)
• About 1/2 cup of StonyField Farm FF Vanilla Yogurt

Half of the mixture went into my re-used 6oz Kemps FroYo Container and is currently firming in the freezer (Can't wait to see how it turns out!). The remaining half was blended with about 1/2 cup ice and served up as a refreshing & satisfying pre-SPINNING snack. I topped it off with some of my MixMyGranola creation.
And my hand dug into the MixMyGranola container like 3934837 more times! ;)

Darn Carbs! I just love 'em!

When I got home from spinning at 8:00, I was starvin marvin and, apparently, mom had made a trip to the store after work...

I ate a small handful (Practicing Restraint!) while I fixed dinner...

I could have eaten the whole bag! YUM! Dinner was composed of half of a sweet potato (The mother of all sweet potatoes), about 1 cup of 365 Vegetarian Chili and a combo of yellow squash and broccoli (This was supposed to be spaghetti squash, but I had frozen and defrosted said spaghetti squash... it sounded like a bad idea when I was doing it. haha Yep, it just didn't defrost correctly...too mushy. So I improvised!).

And as pretty as that picture is...Here is what the true delicous-ness looks like:

I am excited to be out in the world again (haha!)...although my eyes are still all red and my vision is not 100%. My birthday is on Thursday! WOOT! But I work that night...However, we don't tend to go all out for birthdays anymore since we've all gotten older. I'll probably just hang out with friends on Friday/Saturday....which is fine by me!

Now I am off to enjoy the same brownie/IC dessert that you can see here and play Sequence with mom!
