I am so over Mondays.

I own this really nice wooden salad bowl from Crate and Barrel but I always manage to grab this lazy plastic salad bowl for huge salads. I need to stop being lazy. (The wood salad bowl can't go in the dishwasher.)

In the salad; tomatos, candied pecans, carrots, romaine lettuce, dried berries, garlic croutons and fat-free feta cheese. Is it weird that I prefer fat-free feta to the regular kind? It's good!



I used this raspberry dressing with the salad last night and loved it! I am a sucker for sweet dressings. Or ranch dressing but I am swearing off of it.



To complement the salad, I made a hearty fiberful chili. This chili had 1 can black beans, 1 can pinto beans, 1 lb ground lean turkey and chili seasonings. I'll admit it wasn't my favorite. What do you add to your chili to kick it up a notch? Vegetarian chili recipes will be gladly accepted!!!

Anyways that was dinner last night and will be my lunch today. I am trying to waste less food. So although I am craving black bean quesadillas, I will suck it up and eat leftovers. Go me?



This morning, I had an appointment with a private investigator to get fingerprinted. (For a job I swear!) So I ate my Chobani greek yogurt while flat-ironing my horse hair.



Chobani pre-mixing. I read on the packaging that Chobani is best enjoyed by scooping the fruit from the bottom rather than stirring. I always was a rebel. I love Chobani for 3 reasons. 1. It has 14 grams of protein in a six ounce cup. 2. No gelatin. (Gelatin freaks me out!) 3. It tastes like blueberry heaven.

Need more reasons to eat Chobani? Chobani Romance



Post mixing! After I finished my yogurt, I went and got fingerprinted and headed to the doctor for a TB test. (The things they make you do in order to work with children! YIKES!)

I tend to avoid breakfast so a yogurt was perfect for me. I got hungry again around 10am and had a banana nut vitamuffin.



This baby was GOOD! I wasn't feeling vitamuffins at first but I have changed my tune. I love banana nut muffins.

anyway, I am off to do more paperwork and errands before running 2 miles with Andy when he gets off work. I am making myself a mix on itunes. Lady Gaga is definitely going to be the star of my workout. Let's pray that my slow body can complete 2 miles in 20-25 minutes.
