Colorful Eats & Snow Day Superstitions

So how’s the weather where YOU are today??

Things are still clear here – the calm before the “storm” I suppose you’d say. But I’ve got high hopes for what’s to come…

C’monnnnn SNOW DAY!!!

I’ve got my fingers crossed…

Breakfast

Another craving for the cereal combo bowl hit me this morning. I’ll tell ya, it never gets old!

Quaker Oatmeal Squares + Kashi Heart to Heart + Vanilla almond milk + blueberries

Enjoyed at my desk, along with some scrumptious caffeine in a mug.

Lunch

When I tell you that I was excited about my lunch immediately after finishing today’s breakfast, I swear I’m not kidding…

How ‘bout them leftovers?!?

I created another combo bowl of sorts by mixing together the following ingredients:

• 1 leftover Twice-Baked Stuffed Sweet Potato boat, slightly mashed
• Leftover roasted cauliflower
• Chopped spinach (about 1 cup?)
• Grape tomatoes
• Extra Broccoli florets
• A dollop of plain, nonfat Chobani Greek yogurt

These leftovers were everything I’d dreamed they’d be! Having the potatoes be a little more solid totally worked with this bowl today. All of the flavors meshed together so well!

All I can say is…I’m glad I still have more leftover potatoes.

The combo bowl actually left me feeling pretty full, but hunger struck again a couple hours later, so I snacked on my nice, crisp golden delicious apple,

and some honey sesame Kashi crack crackers.

Workout

After work, I wasn’t in much of a mood to run, so I decided to take it a little easier today and did my favorite 45 minute treadmill walk while watching Ellen. That workout usually covers just about 3 miles, so it’s still a good one!

Dinner

Or shall I say…breakfast?

For some reason, I could not get an egg & cheese bagel sandwich off of my mind, so I lightly toasted one of my Weight Watchers bagels and topped it with:

• 1/2 cup Egg Beaters
• Fontina cheese
• 2 slices roasted deli turkey
• Fresh Spinach
• Tomatoes

Mmmmmm!!

On the side, I had about 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese + mixed fruit.

Tonight’s dinner totally hit the spot!

Actually, ALL of today’s meals totally hit the spot. Don’t you just love when that happens?

Plus, I’d say I’m pretty happy with all the pretty colors I was able to incorporate too. I think I need to work on doing that more often!

Well, I think it’s time to go throw on the PJ’s…backwards and inside-out, of course! Gotta keep routing for that Snow Day tomorrow!!

Question for the Evening:

Did you/do you have any strange/unique superstitions or rituals??
