Indecisive…with Food

This is how I’ve been feeling lately.

This weather is getting Honey and I down.  I’m sick o f the snow already, but according to locals I have another month and a half to live through before spring really comes into swing…why did I not go back to FL again this spring!?  I’ll take the humidity now thank you…

Anyhow, my appetite has been totally wonky the past few days and really, I am not eating things I want to eat, but just to eat and get the meal over with.  How un-fun is that for a food blogger?  So yesterday I just had banana, pb and cranberry oats with cinnamon.  Nothing exciting.

I tried to do work yesterday but there has been so much rain and snow that the ground is saturated and super hard to drive on…this is when I need off road tires…because I currently use street ones.  No bueno.

Oh, and then it started snowing.  Or was a flurry.  Whatever, it had me frustrated and hoping to god I wasn’t going to get another flat.  Can you tell how cold it is?  I’m wearing under armor under a down jacket AND a tshirt.  low 30’s anyone?

When I left this morning I had no ideas for lunch, so I just threw random things into my lunch bag and left. I brought the very last and little of my hummus, which I added some red pepper and artichoke spread to, with lots of water crackers and clementines.

Then I decided to try one of the bars I got at the Natural Products Expo.  I’ve actually never even had a regular ProBar because they’re always so expensive but decided to give this Halo S’Mores Bar a try…

Well, if you like gooey bars this one will spark your fancy.  But as far as the flavor went…uh, not so much.  I guess I expected more chocolate and I had maybe one marshmallow, which was way too sticky even then.

So…out of 10, I give the bar a 3.  Sorry ProBar, maybe next time…

I was a bit worried the entire morning and into the afternoon because the sky looked like this, and knew would turn into this:

Gahh…So.Much.Snow.

I had an incident that I can’t really discuss this afternoon that left me absolutely exhausted mentally after a severe adrenaline rush and needed a pick me up before the gym. Three of these milk chocolate pb cups and I was set to go.

When I switched gyms I was allowed to start going to the classes they offer and decided to take advantage of one this afternoon.  I had no idea what the Stretching and Toning class would be like, but it ended up being a mix of yoga and pilates.  I may have been the youngest person in the class, but hey, it was really nice!  I used it to loosen up for my 4 mile run and 1 mile walk afterwards, along with getting ready for my HALF MARATHON IN OAKLAND THIS WEEKEND!!!  I’m keeping my finger’s crossed that the rain will be at bay Sunday morning when I run and won’t end up like the runners after the LA Marathon last weekend who got hypothermia!

I wasn’t super hungry after the workout so I waited until my stomach was really growling to dig into my leftover frozen veggie soup that I had thawing out all day long. I had leftover greens from my stir fry so I added those in for more color, along with a few meatless meatballs that basically disintegrated in the bowl. It may be ugly, but it had color and tasted great!

I ended the night by noshing on some TJ’s Olive Oil Popcorn then falling sleep with Honey on my lap.  I eventually made it to bed though…

It’s still gloomy this morning, but at least Honey is staying entertained by watching the birds in the trees…and really, as much as I hate the snow, it’s really pretty.

Again, no idea what I wanted for breakfast.  I’m burned out on oats, I didn’t want cereal, am out of soy yogurt and just indecisive.  I ended up just grabbing random things out of the fridge and made a decent breakfast! I scrambled up an egg and stuffed it in half a pita with some salsa, topping the other half of the pita w/ some earth balance and raspberry jam with a side of strawberries.

And then tweeted that I had a handful of chocolate chips at 8.30am. 

I loved everyone  comments to reassure me that it’s not a crime…right?  Yes!

Now I’m going to get some office work done and hit the gym before the snow comes into town!
