The Longest Week EVER!

I don't know about anyone else, but this week has felt SO long.  I'm so excited that tomorrow is Friday.  As expected, I got home late from seeing Avatar last night (which I really liked, btw) then was running late this morning... so I will do a recap of Wednesday and today. 

WEDNESDAY
Lunch
I wasn't too hungry when it was time to eat lunch so I had some Garden of Eatin pita chips with Cedar's Organic Hummus.  I'm really loving this Greek Isle flavor of the pita chips!
After a lunchtime walk I decided I was actually a little bit hungry.  So I pulled out my Fig flavored Voskos greek yogurt and added some bran from Fiber One. 
Dinner
Before the movie, Hillary and I stopped at Chipotle!  I got the salad: lettuce, rice, fajita mix, black beans, pico de gallo, corn salsa, little cheese, guacamole.  I would say I ate about 2/3 of this salad.  I also had some chips and salsa.  Have you guys had the salad dressing there?  I really liked it!

THURSDAY
Breakfast
I was excited to use my pesto on my egg white sandwich.  Once again, I used the Earthgrains thin and then spread some pesto on it and added the cooked 3 egg whites. I forgot I added some colby jack until I saw it in my picture!  Plus, I added a sliced apple and had a craving for some OJ so poured a little of that, as well. 

Lunch 
Lunch today was a banana, tall soy misto from Starbucks, and PB & PB (peanut butter and pumpkin butter) sandwich on Natural Ovens Whole Grain Bread "Right Wheat". 

 The other night I received a coupon for $1.00 off a Natural Ovens product so I was kind of rushed with my decision but I decided to try this one.  For 2 slices, there are 100 calories, 5 g of fiber, and 6 g protein.  I liked the taste and I would definitely suggest this product to anyone who is looking for help with portion control because the size of the slice is slightly smaller than many other breads out there, plus with 5 g of protein and 6 g of protein it can help you feel full and satisfied.  The woman I spoke with, Wanda, said that they will be passing out coupons in many grocery stores so keep your eyes open for Natural Ovens in your local store! 

Dinner
My leftover whole wheat ravioli with pesto and zucchini and yellow squash.  The zucchini and yellow squash were soggy when I found them in my tupperware in the fridge.  I do not like that!  So I poured off the water that accumulated at the bottom and threw them in the oven around 275 for 20 min and that helped them to firm up and dry up a little.  This saved my veggies!  

As if I felt like I had to completely repeat my dinner from Tuesday night, I also had some Haagen Dazs tart frozen yogurt with blueberries and white chocolate chips.  So delicious! I'm in love with this dessert! The ice cream bowl I use is actually a bowl that is meant for ingredients or dipping.  It really helps me with portion control!
