Morning! Hope everyone survived their first day back at work after the holidays! My day was okay since I was busy but I was incredibly tired! I was still on my waking up at 1:00 in the afternoon schedule! I also ran out of melatonin on Sunday night so I didn’t fall asleep till 3 in the morning! I used food as a tool to make me tired which is never too fun the next day. Cereal and peanut butter at 2 am always seem to do the trick though! I think I am almost back on schedule today! Much more awake!
Breakfast
After eating Cheerios in the middle of the night, the last thing I wanted the next morning was oatmeal. I made an omelet to take to work with me instead.
It contained 1 egg, 2 egg whites, and Laughing Cow cheese. It kept me full for a lot longer than oatmeal too. I am going to start bringing them more!
Lunch
I went to Hale and Hearty and got my favorite salad ever!
It contained cucumbers, carrots, edamame, tomatoes, avocado, and goat cheese. Yum! I had low-fat carrot ginger dressing on the side.
Later in the afternoon, I snacked on an 18 Rabbits granola bar. I got to try their brand new flavor that actually just came out in stores yesterday! It is called the Belle Bananas Foster bar.
I really enjoyed this flavor. It is made with hazelnut, walnut, flax, cocoa nibs, and is also wheat and dairy free. I loved the caramelized bananas throughout the bar. It was very filling too!
After work I had to skip the gym because I had to take Daisy to the vet. By the time I was done, I was starving for dinner! I made:
Healthified Chicken Parmesan!
I heated up 3 Applegate Farms chicken strips and topped them over a salad with cucumbers, celery, and bell peppers. I then topped the chicken with red sauce and Parmesan cheese.
It was a delicious and quick salad!
Dessert was banana soft serve with some chocolate chips and whipped cream!
Tonight I will be getting back into my Core Fusion challenge! I actually plan on taking Core Fusion Open for the next 3 or 4 days in a row! I will be a very sore girl! Can’t wait!!
Question Time!
1) What is your favorite bar?
Mine is a Z-Bar! Any flavor makes me happy!
2) What is your favorite kind of salad dressing?
I am usually a balsamic girl but I am loving the low-fat carrot ginger at Hale and Hearty!!

I love Clif White Chocolate Macadamia! They are so good! And as for dressing, I usually just use vinegar of some sort.

I love luna bars and kashi cruncy bars in any flavor. So good! I love balsamic vinegar for my dressing.
I still have yet to try banana soft serve…

I’m actually not a huge fan of bars. I can’t seem to find one I like. I am really on a low-fat blush vinaigrette dressing kick right now. So yummy!

I find that eggs always keep me much more full than any other breakfast.
Honestly, I really like ranch dressing. And the Mediterranean one from Whole Foods. As for bars, I like Lara and Luna. I’m not a huge bar fan, I guess. I just buy them sporadically.

I think I like clif mojo bars the best! For some reason, I don’t really like salad dressing that much. Have a great Tuesday!
PS-I have my own blog now!

I actually love the Pure Bars. The cherry cashew is my favorite. I treat those as my “candy bars”.
I actually think that I am the only person in America who does like salad dressing. It has never been my thing.

Well you know I’m vegan but that banana whip looks really good!!! I’m going to try and make that, and I’ll make my own vegan whipped cream.yum!
[Reply]
My favorite bar is the caramel blast Balance Bar. I eat one almost every night before bed. My favorite dressing is blue cheese. I don’t order it often though. I could dip anything in blue cheese dressing! My fave thing is to dip my pizza crust in it. I want some! I usually use balsamic or just regular vinegar on the side though.
I always have trouble sleeping on Sunday night nights before go back to work. I take Tylenol PM and my boyfriend takes Benadryl. So healthy right? haha!

mmm that hale and hearty salad looks and sounds great esp with that carrot ginger dressing!! fav bar right now is the amazing grass chocolate PB or I also love the Luna white chocolate macademia
favorite dressing is making my own! mix apple cider vinegar and mustard & truvia with some EVOO!!

1. Balance Bars in Cookie Dough, the best things ever!
2. Newman’s Own Spritzers comes in an Asian flavor that is to die for.
[Reply]
Love your questions!! Hmmm….Zbars ARE so good. But sometimes I can’t stop at just one!
I do love Peanut Butter Cookie Larabars, mmmm.
[Reply]
1. My fave bars are probably Z bars–they are yummy!
2. My fave salad dressing is blue cheese!! But I cant waste calories on that anymore sooo now its fat free honey mustard!
[Reply]
Banana foster bar sounds yummmmmay!
[Reply]
Oh I like the idea of a carrot, ginger salad dressing! Right now I’m really into a sesame ginger dressing that you can find at Trader Joe’s. I also like plain old oil and vinegar. As for bars, I’m a Z-bar fan, but I REALLY like the SOYJOY (I know, no one else does!) and Cliff Mojo bars. Yum!
[Reply]
I’ve been wanting to try the 18 rabbits bars! My favorite is probably the PB&J larabar
[Reply]
I love ZBars (good treat!), Larabars, and Clif Mojo the best. My husband is addicted to Zone Perfect dark chocolate varieties.
Best salad dressing – Sabra Hummus! (Runner up = Annie’s Naturals Raspberry Vinaigrette)
[Reply]
I love the chocolate brownie Z Bars!
I just tried Trader Joe’s Fat Free Balsamic dressing recently and loved it!
[Reply]
Hey! I just found your blog (and also read the lil tidbit about you in Shape magazine while I was waiting for my hair appointment today!) Congrats! Your banana soft serve looks absolutely heavenly!!! As for favourite bar- I LOVE Zbars also- chocolate chip is my favourite, I also love Luna Nutz n Chocolate. As for salad dressing- almost anything balsamic vinegar based (balsamic dijon etc) or garlicky lemon vinaigrette or a gingery dressing if I’m eating Asian food.
[Reply]
I keep seeing that bar EVERYWHERE and I’m dying to try it! My favorite bar is either Super Protein or Mocha-walla Odwalla bars. As far as dressing – hummus, salsa, or strawberry poppyseed. Balsamic is good though!
[Reply]
YUm, I might have to do the omelette thing too. I never really thought of eggs as portable, but you proved me wrong. yay for zbars
