Wonderful Wednesday!

Good Morning! I just back from a doctors appointment and I am feeling a little more at ease. I will get into that later. First thing the morning I met my very best friend John (dont get any ideas he is engaged and adores his fiance). Ha! I have been friends with him for years and for about 3 years now we meet at 7:15 in the morning to eat breakfast and catch up. It makes for a great break in the week. Plus I love talking with him. He is a professor and teaches drafting. He also is a arcitech and does that as well. We dont talk drafting or buildings though (well, sometimes). Anyway, we met at our favorite place Big City Bread and we had out usual. We always and I mean always half a muffin (blueberry unless a vegan one looks good) and I usually get 2 soy patties and two hard boiled eggs (take the yolks out) he gets a sausage biscuit. Yum! It was great. Now I have to be SUPER good today to get away with a high calorie day. The day that we have breakfast is always a higher day. I eat the high protein breakfast there because I HAVE TO HAVE MY OATS everyday and I am not willing to give them up just because I ate at a great restaurant. So I will start out with this. Half muffin, two soy patties and hard boiled eggs!

I dont like these pictures because they dont look that good but you get the idea.

After my doctors appointment. (By the way no weight lifting or dancing for me for a few weeks ). I am going to get a x-ray today and a MRI on Friday. I am going to be on steroids and loratabs for the week. I am not a happy camper. HOWEVER she did say that I can walk so that means that I will be walking a ton or until it is uncomfortable. I now have my first injury due to training.

After I got back to work I had my oats with a perfectly ripe banana.

My oats were sooooo good this morning.

I just got a e-mail from Jeananne from Wildbar and she is going to be sending me some samples of their raw bars! I have herd so much about these and I cant wait to try them out for myself!

Check out my blog later this week when I get these and try them out!

So I basically had two breakfasts and then I am going to have a bocca burger salad, this is super simple and easy. With my back the way that it is today I am just lazy and dont feel like doing much of anything. I am going to try and eat as light as possible today. With me not really doing any exercising except walking I cant be eating what I was when I was really active. This has got to be monitored!

This just a grilled bocca burger and spring mix. I have it with mustard only. I know BORING but hey I like it!

Then for a snack it will be fat free cottage cheese and fruit at about 3:00. I may just have to add a yogurt to it. Have you ever tried mixing yogurt with cottage cheese.MMmmmmm so very good!

This combo has mandarin oranges and cranberries. Organic of course.

Then I go home to go for a walk (I am going to try and get in about 45 after work and about 50 minutes on my lunch break since I am not able to do anything else. I better be burning some cals some how. I am then going to do what I did yesterday but better! I got in my PB2 yesterday. I sampled this stuff a while back and I am so hooked. I go through a jar of the stuff about once a week. I am thinking that this Pb2 will be really great mixed in with my fresh tofu and veggies. I will add some hot sauce to it to give it some heat. After that I will allow myself a side dish of PB2 for a late night snack. I love eating it even by it's self! That will be my food for today. Simple. The muffin was my treat for the week! I have practice tonight and I must say...It is going quite well.

I love how thick and yummy this peanut butter tofu concoction is! It is so good you could slap yer self! I am siked! My roomie Karen just texted me and said that I have box(es) at home waiting for me! Boy I cant wait! I am going to be doing some reviewing tonight I can feel. I am going home this weekend so no blogging for me but I will be talking pictures and showing you how my mothers day turned out. What are you doing for mothers day?

I hope your hump day is going well and hey, we are half way through the week. Where did this week go? I am not complaining I am ready for the weekend for sure! See ya!

AND JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WAS DONE! PRODUCT REVIEW TIME BABY!!!!

So after a long day at work I got a text from my roommate saying that I had some packages and I did! Boy did I! I got 8 chobani yogurts to try and you know I had my eye on the strawberry one first! So I tore into it as soon as I got it. The yogurt was cold and was packaged so well! Man...You guys are smart! I just as you know had to review stoney farms greek yogurt and loved them so I was a little worried that I wouldnt like these as much....Well. I must say....I LOVED THEM! Oh my the flavor was great. it wasnt a fake strawberry taste at all! I loved the small packaging and the way that they stacked right on top of one another in the fridge. I think that I may have just gotten myself in trouble by tasting these guys! They will be a staple I think in my diet for sure. Thanks Morgan for being so great and sending me these you not only have me hooked I think that the roomies are going to be fighting me for some as well :p

The second package that I got was Zevia!!! Oh my!

I was soooooo freaking excited to get this box as well. I swear my roommates thought it was Christmas for me. I was jumping around the kitchen like a kid ! I got a ton of flavors from Zia. Some of them were orange, black cherry, lemon lime, cola and others. I tried Root Beer first. I havent had a root beer (my favorite soda) in FOREVER. I wouldnt because it was never worth the calories to me anyway. Needless to say when I saw the root beer one I freaked! I opened it up and poured it over ice. First off I would like to say. The first thing that I noticed was the smell. As soon as I opened and poured the soda the smell of root beer filled my nose! It smelled so good I was afraid that it wouldnt taste as good. Well I was wrong. My god, I will never have another regular root beer if I can help it! It tasted just like root beer! Better to me because I knew that there wasnt anything in there that my body would hate me for later. Thanks to Ian I am in love and now will be telling everyone I know about this stuff. You have got to try this! Remember Zevia is the ONLY all natural 0 calorie diet soda anywhere. No aspartame, No sucralose. Just Stevia and other natural ingredients. And did I mention it is delicious!!!!!!!!!!! Check out their website! http:www.zevia.com

Each day I am going to have another flavor of the greek yogurt and zevia so you will be seeing more of it on my blog and plate! Thanks guys again for making my day!
