when sugar aint so sweet…
despite us all feeling like this at 5:30 a.m.
(sorry for the photo quality in all the photos in this post… i thought i’d see how just using my iphone would work… not great)
we did haul ourselves out of bed and head to the gym for an interval eliptical workout
when i got to work i quickly remembered what was waiting for me…
ughhh what a mess! i just haven’t been able to get caught up this week!!
i gulped down one cup o’ sludge
and immediately brought in the big guns!
in case anyone is unfamiliar with this album, it is paul simon’s “graceland” and is without a doubt the best album EVER made. it’s my go to for many occasions… get your desk under control immediately being one of them!
at some point i wandered toward the kitchen and realized… it has begun!
the office holiday sugar blitz! from about now, until the new year… this will be staring at me NONSTOP!
i held out on any snacking until lunch
which was a flat out, wedge of light laughing cow and sunshine veggie burger
with a sort of random mix of cuc, cado, and frank’s…
RANDOM
then i treated myself with this little gem i’d been saving…
lindt dark chocolate with “a touch of sea salt” – the package looks like this…
i have a little love affair with this chocolate. just a little bit… the dark chocolate is all you taste at first, but then the saltiness comes through, and it’s LOVE.
that being said, i’m not a huge chocolate person… in fact, i have found when i eat sugar in the afternoon, i crash… even this little piece of chocolate resulted in me gulping down about 3 glasses of water b/c i just get tired and jittery when i consume it after lunch.
so after my little indulgence, i remembered today was “cake day” at work. this blessed event occurs once a month in our office, in celebration of whomever is turning another year older that month.
behold!
so given that sugar aint so sweet to my body in the afternoon, i enjoyed the celebration with everyone else, sans a slice of sin cake, and when it was over, enjoyed my p.m. snack
pineapple and cottage cheese… and yes, i chomped most of it down before i realized i forgot to take its portrait! oopsie!!
i’ll tell you what IS good for me in the afternoon/evening, and it’s getting to see the Pea Family!!!! i was alerted that they would be stopping at the Laughing Planet near my house tonight, so i headed there right after work and got to spend some time with them!! I LOVE THE PEAS!!
i figured if i was going to be at the glorious Laughing Planet (which is so yummy and less than 1 block from my casa)… i might as well order up some dinner of my own.
amazin’ grace quesadilla with tofu (tofu-duh, cheese, pesto, pico de gallo)… and while i was waiting for my food i spotted a seriously sweet sight…
this one’s for you Ali…………
heheheeeehehehe
O…….M…….G, in attempting to figure out how to type out pee wee’s laugh, i found THIS… GO HERE….DO IT
and i’m done!
