Check this out…..
Best bowl of cereal ever? I’d say so. Sunday morning I decided to mix my boring Kashi cereal with the boy’s Trix. I added bananas and raisins and it was one fun bowl of cereal!
I mentioned yesterday that there was one more pie the boy insisted on buying from Metro Cafe. Major food porn below:
Oreo Cheesecake Brownie Pie. Ahhh. I can die happy now. I don’t think I need to say anything more about that.
The rest of the day I stayed in bed since I had a fever. We watched Adventureland and Coraline. Both cute movies. Eventually it was dinner time! We decided on pasta.
I had a Blue Moon too. Had to get some Vitamin C from the orange right?
I made organic steamed broccoli on the side. The boy was in love with the broccoli. I used to only make him the frozen kind so this was a huge difference.
I made a big salad with mozzarella cheese and cues for the side of the pasta.
We added mushrooms and red peppers to the noodles. Yum!
Very good! I only ate half of the pasta you see there so we had lots of leftovers!
Look what came in the mail!
A spiralizer! I have all of these Amazon gift cards and this was very inexpensive! I am very excited to make zucchini pasta! I sat there for 10 minutes trying to figure out how to work the thing with a cucumber. I definitely was not doing it right but finally it worked with a lemon!
So fun! I still have $165.00 to use on Amazon so I am considering a juicer but still deciding! I could just get a million new books. We’ll see!
Boyfriend requested a milkshake for dessert so I agreed!
Yum! They were so good that we both had 2! That was a mistake! We both felt so sick after. I don’t know why I chose that ice cream either since I know I can’t handle the artificial crap but I just grabbed the first vanilla/chocolate one I saw. Oh well! I will stick with Turtle Mountain from now on since that never causes me problems.
Monday
I arrived at work to a shoe box on my desk! It was filled with tons of fun goodies!
Gina from The Candid RD sent me the goodies from Special K’s SHARE YOURSELF Challenge. Thanks Gina! I am very excited to try Oat Bran! I don’t think I’ve ever had it before!
The best thing in the package was Gina’s homemade granola! I added it to my oats yesterday!
The granola had nuts and a yummy peanut butter taste to it! I also added bananas, skim milk, and cinnamon.The boy did not have work till midnight last night so he was able to meet me for lunch! We were craving some hummus so we went to Pita Grill.
We started with hummus and whole wheat pita.
I should have just ate that for lunch! I must have had 4 pitas and so much hummus. It was so amazing. I was full from the appetizer but still managed to finish off my lunch!
I got the Grilled Vegetable Athena Platter: Grilled herb marinated zucchini, red and green peppers, sweet onion, eggplant, with mesclun greens, feta cheese, dried cranberries.Topped with lite roasted red pepper vinaigrette.
The dressing is so delicious there. Definitely my definition of a perfect salad!
The boy got the garden salad with blackened tilapia.
His tilapia was great but he was not as happy with his meal. I told him he should have gotten the burger with sweet potato fries!! (I may have just wanted to steal his fries). At the last minute he went with the healthier option. Oh well, I should be happy since he usually just wants pizza!
We got some fro yo for dessert.
Strawberry and vanilla mixed.
And we sat outside and enjoyed!
I was thinking about going to the gym last night but I felt like I could pass out at 6:00. I was exhausted and dizzy again so i just went home.
I made some leftover pasta and salad.
Blue Moon is fun.
There was ice cream leftover too. I added carob chips, banana, and chocolate syrup. Probably not the best thing when I skip the gym but I have a huge sweet tooth.
I may have had a little more after that! Luckily all of the ice cream is gone now. I am skipping the gym tonight and tomorrow too since I have plans but eventually I will get back into workout mode! Do you ever get into workout ruts?
I am going to an exciting event tonight so stay tuned for a recap tomorrow! Have a lovely Tuesday!

Do you really maintain your weight loss eating all those treats?
[Reply]
Anon she obviously is – and you only live ONCE!
OMG that pie!! I've had something similar before – AMAZE.
Dang! That is a sh!t ton of gift cards to amazon! I've always been curious about the spiralizer. I'm so dumb with kitchen things, I just wonder how long it'd take me to figure that stuff out.
[Reply]
I'm waiting for my spiralizer to arrive too! So exciting!
And also waiting for my share-package!
food porn made me hungry again! (just finished my lunch)
[Reply]
Anon: Yes I do maintain my weight and still have occassional treats. I eat healthy most of the time and usually workout 4 or 5 days a week so I think it is fine to have desserts here and there. Restricting myself leads to binges which yes…makes me gain weight. Also when I am with the boy, he probably eats 3/4 of the pie anyway.

I don't know where to even begin!! Woohoo for the spiralizer! I hope you enjoy it!
That cheesecake?! Divine! I also fully approve of the Blue Moons
Is Only 8 good? We have one by my house but I've never tried it.
[Reply]
Ksgoodeats: Only 8 is pretty good for being "healthy" ice cream. It is creamy and tastes similar to Lite Choice. I prefer Lite Choice just because there are more flavor options and toppings. Maybe other Only 8 locations have toppings but mine must be boring lol.

Everything looked looked soo good!! Anon I don't believe there is anything wrong with treating yourself.. Many bloggers believe in treating yourself!

Looks soo good all of the food. How good is Blue Moon for you? I am always looking for healthier beers and drinks.
[Reply]
The yogurt looks soo good, I could go for one right now.
[Reply]
Easy Losing Weight: I just checked and Blue Moon has 171 calories. I usually drink Coors Light or Mich Ultra for low calorie beer. At the same time it kind of all adds up because I was satisfied with 2 Blue Moons where as I would need 4 Coors Lights to do the trick!
[Reply]
Yeah! I'm so glad you enjoyed the granola. The recipe is on my blog. It's fairy easy, and I Always make a double batch so it lasts for about two weeks (I eat it all the time).
Oh, and that Oreo pie looks delicious!
