30 Days, 30 Pictures

When I came across this challenge from PositivelyPresent, I knew I had to do it!

Any excuse to use the Instagram app. LOVE.

Great reminder of all the things I have to be thankful for in my life.

Day 1: Favourite Food

 Can I include drink in this?! At the moment… Tall soy pumpkin spice Caffè Misto. I really should be thankful that I can afford Starbucks once or twice a week!

And no, I didn’t take that picture today… Shoot me!! 😛

… Onto today’s eats (so far)! I’m going to be doing a bit of food journaling the next while to keep me on track with my eating.

Started off with 1, 2, 3 cups of coffee with French Vanilla. Where’s breakfast?! Yeaaaa, oopsie… I didn’t eat it. BIG bad slap on the wrist! Then I dumped half of the 3rd cup out because I was bouncing off the walls.

 

1/2 of an Apple Pie Larabar I found in my purse for a mid-morning snack.

Lunch was at my favourite “hippy” restaurant in the world.

A side of vegetarian split yellow pea soup.

Rice bowl with slivered almonds.

I severely need to grocery shop tonight, so I’m planning on something packed full of veggies for dinner!

Questions:
Are you diligent about making sure you eat breakfast?
What’s your favourite food (or drink) at the moment?

Brand New

The blog name has officially been changed!

… That only took me a week.

Actually, making a blog header that I liked took a week. I went through many, many drafts. I struggled through many hours with Photoshop. And in the end, I settled with the most simple design I came up with… Go figure!

Anyways, onto today’s eats!

I was a little rushed this morning, so I brought breakfast to work with me.

A banana, gluten-free instant oatmeal, and a coffee with a touch of skim milk.

For the past month I’ve been skipping breakfast. Why-oh-why?! Even just eating a breakfast thrown together before heading out the door made me feel so much better than dealing with a growling tummy all morning!

I don’t ever eat oatmeal, and this gluten-free one reminded me a lot more of Cream of Wheat than actual oatmeal. And, it was super bland! I know the healthy living blog world is full of oatmeal love, so I’m going to have to get more creative and bring some yummy toppings with me to spice these “oats” up.

When noon rolled around, I headed home, broke-out the blender, and made myself a “bad boy” green monster.

This one is packed with an overflowing handful of spinach, chocolate almond milk, and lots of hazelnut butter and ground flax.

I’ve got a few more hours of work on the agenda, and Jerzday dinner tonight. Hope you’re all enjoying your Thursday!

What are your favourite oatmeal toppings?
