Thirsty Thursday!

Last night was busy, so here is Thursday....

This morning I had two of the blueberry-oat bars I made earlier in the week before leaving the house. I really can't get enough of these, and plan to make them again soon.


I had packed a different breakfast, but wasn't feeling like it after the oat bars, and I felt really thirsty and overheated so I decided I wanted something cold and went to Starbucks and got an Iced Venti Mocha Light Frap. I always take a picture empty because I start drinking it on my walk back to the office.


For lunch I threw some left overs into a container. I had a little brown rice leftover, some broccoli, cauliflower, and frozen vegetarian dumplings from whole foods. I topped it off with some reduced sodium ginger soy sauce. I was actually so hungry that I was eating this at 11:45.


With lunch I had green grapes and pineapple. Isn't this mug cute? Steve brought it back from a business trip to Hershey, PA.
At 3pm I decided to go to the gym for a quick run, I only got 2.3 miles in, but something is better than nothing. I was feeling hungry before I went, so I stopped at the GNC that is right outside my building. My lucky day because they had 3 Key Lime Pie Larabars on sale. I bought all three but only ate this one:) I never had this flavor but really liked it. It was great at calming my hunger and giving me energy to run.

I had made muesli for breakfast (which I didn't eat then) with 1/3 oats, 2/3 unsweetened chocolate almond milk, 1/8 cup dried fruit, 2 tbsp flax meal, 1/8 unsweetened coconut, 1 tbsp sliced almonds, and some fresh berries. These blackberries were huge! Because I had some shopping to do right after work and I decided to eat dinner at 6pm before I left the office. This was really good, and enough to hold me over until I could get home for something else.

When I got home at 8pm I was hungry so I had some left over couscous in the fridge (sorry no picture).

I have a super busy Friday, Sophie has a vet appointment and tonight at 6:30 a group of my girlfriends from high school are coming over for a pot-luck. We get together once a month, usually at a restaurant, for a girls night out. This is our first pot-luck.

Turns out Sophie is a fitness guru too, look at her getting ready to go to the gym!!

Have a wonderful Friday!!!

That dog is seriously the cutest!!

I love that mug - they have a Hershey store in Chicago and I saw it there once, but restrained myself. Seeing it again brings back the temptation!

I'm so glad you liked the lime Larabar! Yum!

Awww, little Sophie is so adorable. I hope she's not too bummed out about her vet appointment tonight! Good steal on the Larabars--80 cents is quite the steal.
