My Body Thanks Me

Finally I’m starting to make my way back to a normal tummy, although not quite there yet.  I hadn’t had a chance to load up on groceries until yesterday after work, so today was all goodness!

For Breakfast I enjoyed a cup of much needed coffee (since I do still feel like I was hit by a Mack truck with fatigue) and I enjoyed it in my new Starbucks mug!  Do you notice anything special about my new mug? Hmmmm??????  IMG_3071

Well it just happens to have some very special messages on it from some very special people and I will treasure it forever, I know that ;-)

 

 

 

After coffee and after getting ready for work, I mixed myself up a much needed Green Monster that believe it or not, I have been craaaaaaving like mad!IMG_3075

Today’s mix was my usual:

  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1c unsweetened vanilla almond breeze
  • 1 tbsp salba
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 3-4c organic baby spinach

 

I was running a little late this morning so this on-the-go breakfast thing is so perfect!

I could hardly wait to dig into my baggie of fresh cherries this morning for my morning Snack:

Lunch was a fresh salad with cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, crumbled goat cheese, small salmon filet and a drizzle of goddess dressing:

I was so tired I was about ready to fall asleep so I was happy to go to the Local Joe Cafe & Market for an Americano.  This was the best Americano I’ve ever had.  It killed Starbucks by miles (sorry girls).   They had some samples of a biscotti which was perfection to end lunch.  What better way to enjoy this and some bloggin’ in a cafe where I can relax by an open window :-)

I got hungry again in the afternoon, so I snacked on a peach and a small banana (this is a fake out pic because I left my camera in the car!):

 

 

I was hungry again when I got home (big surprise) and I snacked on some of those yummy Triscuits I had at Sarah’s a week ago and some salsa:

These are yummy little guys!

 

 

 

 

Triscuit + salsa = Yum :-)

Supper was an Amy’s Burrito doloped with some Liberte plaint organic svelte yogurt and organic salsa, with a side salad of lettuces, red onion, cucumber, cherry tomato, red peppers, yellow peppers, feta and goddess dressing:
