Daily Eats + Dinner with Friends
October 16, 2014
Good morning friends!
Yesterday started with a walk in the park at 5:30 with my friend Aubrey.
Breakfast was around 6:45. It was corn tortilla’s and eggs with salsa. This has become my new eggs & toast, if you couldn’t tell 😉
Around 10 I was hungry for something else. I made two pieces of brown rice toast with nut butter and banana. I couldn’t choose between PB or Almond B, so I had one of each.
As small as this may be, it really does feel so great to listen to your cravings. Today, will you remember to say “yes” to your cravings in this way? Picture for a moment what it might be like to do this and then carry it through your day.
After my mid-morning snack I continued work. On my desk, I try and keep flowers. Each time I grocery shop I buy a new $3.99 bouquet of flowers. I usually pick a couple from my last bouquet that are still good, cut the ends off, and make a little office bouquet 🙂
I also sipped quite a bit of tea through the day. This was pear green tea from TeaLeaves. Throughout the rest of the day, I chose chamomile. Keeps me calm while working 🙂
Lunch was around 1:45. Lunch was another fun meal for me because I really asked myself “what do you want?”
Do you remember to do this daily?
I ended up with “Power to the Greens” salad mix, sliced cucumber, sliced bell pepper, cilantro dressing, and then off to the side more cucumber with hummus. I also put one scoop of warmed leftover pasta right on top. This has such variety that it satisfied me well into dinner time.
At about 5:30 Marco and I went to my parents house to hangout for a bit before we went to our friend Aubrey’s for dinner. I snacked on a small Organic apple with peanut butter to calm my hunger (I started getting pretty hungry at this point).
Dinner was around 7:00 and was homemade enchiladas, rice, and beans. It was delicious! After dinner we found ourselves playing board games (checkers + battle of the sexes) and hangin’ out chatting until about 9:00.
It was a good day 🙂
Today is a busy workday, which is always good. I’m starting the morning off with breakfast with Marco, a walk with Momma, and then coming home to get ready for work. Tonight, we’ve got group straight after work.
Tomorrow, I will not be here on the blog, but I will be in your inbox sharing something you might not want to miss 😉
Follow Marco and I through the weekend VIA Instagram (@healthyhitsthespot) if you’d like to stay in touch. We’ll be back in San Luis Obispo 😉
Love,
