Woven Wanderlust

I Got A FitBit

I love all the visualizations and breakdowns of my day and activity. Also like that it shows my progress towards how many steps I should be taking, etc… 

Greek (Yogurt) Salad

Romaine lettuce with cherries, slices of red plum, a helping of non-fat Greek Yogurt, and some crunchy almonds! Yum! Why am I not laughing with this?

Zucchini Spring Pasta

Another zucchini pasta recipe! This time I used tomato-alfredo sauce, added a ton of cilantro, and just a dusting of shredded parmesan cheese!

Horrible Eating Week

I admit, my eating has been so bad this week. At dinner on Tuesday I ate three dinner rolls which is the most (and perhaps) only white bread I’ve eaten in over 6 months. I felt horrible the next morning, it simply did not sit well in my stomach. I also drank a beer that night, when I usually only drink on weekends. A part of this is because of social situations, though. It was San Francisco design week and well… all that mingling and such, while fun, just goes hand in hand with a drink. After three hours of doing that instead of coming home and making something as I usually do, I was famished and would have rather just eaten out somewhere nearby. The next night we went out to the various studios again… but I only had 1 serving of wine and a salad, which was marginally better. Today, though, I didn’t really have any excuse… I ate something crappy for lunch, had some cookies, opted for diet Dr. Pepper instead of the usual tea, then made one of those frozen pizzas for dinner. I think this is mostly because I needed to unwind so bad, it’s been a very busy week.

I also think maybe I just need some comfort food because I miss Rob so much. He is back home in London right now, and I am surprised at how much I miss him because I usually revel in what is typically rare alone time. I guess having him around makes me more accountable for what I eat because I preach so much about eating healthy and I don’t want to be a hypocrite! I think I also feel extra shitty because I haven’t gone to the gym all week either (mostly because of a work deadline which will be met tomorrow, so I am going to run my ass off on Monday). 

Oh well, these slip ups are nothing I can’t recover from. Writing and admitting to myself that I haven’t been my best does help. 

Burgers & Sandwiches (The Healthy Way) at The Big Sky Cafe

Fruit @ The Farmer’s Market

in San Luis Obispo! Ugh, everything just looked so good.

Mango & Yogurt Smoothie

Finished result. I love the color of this one! It’s the same as my current favorite shade to wear. 

Mango & Yogurt Pre-Blend

The ingredients to make a delicious and refreshing mango smoothie— 1 whole mango, a little bit of nonfat greek yogurt, and just a tossing of frozen mixed fruits to give it some variety.

Multigrain Pasta with Tomato-Spinach Sauce

Tonight’s dinner! I am running out of food! That tends to = pasta for dinner. Kind of disappointed that I didn’t get much protein today… I had lasagna for lunch, so that’s not too much variety. It was a vegetable lasagna though… Anyway, I amped up my tomato sauce myself by pureeing some spinach and then sauteing it into the sauce.
