Colorful Eats & Snow Day Superstitions

By Courtney 21 Comments

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…

weather2

C’monnnnn SNOW DAY!!! Rolling on the floor laughing

I’ve got my fingers crossed… Fingers crossed

Breakfast

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

IMG_7714

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

IMG_7713

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

Lunch

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

IMG_7716

How ‘bout them leftovers?!? Smile

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

IMG_7717

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!

IMG_7718

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

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,

IMG_7715

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? Winking smile

IMG_7727

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

IMG_7722IMG_7725

Mmmmmm!! Open-mouthed smile

IMG_7730

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

IMG_7724

Tonight’s dinner totally hit the spot!

IMG_7721

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!! Winking smile

Question for the Evening:

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

    Do you put anything in your coffee every day such as milk/creamer/sugar?

      Yup! I usually use 1-1/2 packets of Truvia and some skim milk.

    I love eating by color! I never really did the PJ's inside out thing when I was younger. Although, being from CNY, you don't really need to do anything to get a snow day - mother nature takes care of it all :)

    We're predicted to get 10 - 20 inches here in the Hudson Valley! You're lucky that you get snow days! I'll have my fingers crossed for you, even though I'm sure you'll have a snow day anyway! :) When I was in high school and college, I never wore makeup on test days. Don't know where I got it from, but I was always worried about getting makeup in my eye (??) during the test! Very strange indeed.

    Your cereal breakfast and veggie lunch looks really really great. Enjoy staying warm inside... away from the snow. I'm in New York... we have similar weather. Cold and snowy!

    I write down things that I want to happen in a notebook, like 50 times. I consider it a form of positive affirmations lol.
