Frenchies

Snack

I picked up some prepackaged trail mix when I was at Trader Joe's.

This is one of my favorite trail mixes. I grabbed a pack on my way out.

Lunch

I had almost no time for lunch so I went with quick at simple. I had two servings of the mushroom soup rice and kidney beans and broccoli roasted with soy sauce. I also heated up a corn bread muffin and had some eggplant hummus and roasted tomato salsa on the side. Fast and tasty.
After studio I came home and had a juice orange. I'm loving these oranges!
By the way, I went with a frenchie! French tip that is. Savannah and I decided that although acrylics are really not good for the nails, it's worth it this time to not be worrying about chipping before the big performance.
Later I enjoyed a Fuji and a Tbsp. of almond butter. It's such a good snack but wasn't doing the trick so satisfy my appetite.

I decided to have 1/3 cup of raisin bran crunch with 1/2 cup almond milk. Did the trick :)
I didn't want to fill up before Shabbos dinner but I was a little hungry since the shabbos meal is later than I usually eat. I decided to make a batch of sweet potato chips.
I love the little crispy ones!

Served with some fresh ground pepper and my favorite condiment: mustard.

Dinner

Shabbos dinner was great as usual but I think the sweet potatoes were too much or something because my stomach was just not sitting right. When I got home I had a few pieces of ginger to try and calm the storm.
I think I may have overloaded on fiber which is very easy when you're a vegan. It's happened before and I just have to cut it back a little.

It's recital weekend!!!! Get Pumped!!

Feelin Good!

Breakfast

Finally we're at today! Last night I prepared a version of overnight oats that is more like yogurt oats. I probably should invest in a container of nut milk but I'm a little nervous that having milk around may become an invitation to eat cereal... I haven't had any cereal since my cleanse/raw diet and I am scared! Yes, I am scared of cereal and granola! I love them so much that sometimes I can't say no! I need to get my confidence and will power and self discipline and have a pow-wow with my granola loving self and get over it! hahaha In the mix:

• 1/3 cup soy yogurt
• 1/3 cup rolled oats
• 1 tsp. chia seeds

I let all that sit in the fridge over night and in the morning I topped it with

• 1/2 banana, sliced small
• three strawberries, sliced small
• mixed berries
• 1 Tbsp. almond butter
• 1/2 Tbsp. of Kelsey's raw flaxseed coconut banana pancake mix

Mixed it all up and viola!

The oats had absorbed the yogurt and were soft and mixture was thick and yummy. I think the chia seeds really make a difference. I also had a mug of peppermint tea and my Cleanse tablet and Women's One a Day.
Lunch

After section and a productive practice sesh, I came home and made a killer lunch. In my salad I had:

• 1 cup chopped cabbage
• 1 tsp. vinegar
• three small tomatoes
• 3/4 cup snow peas
• 1 cup cooked beets
• rice from last night mixed with kidney beans
• two salad tossers, I mean carrot sticks!
• 1 Tbsp. Tahini Dressing

I chopped the cabbage and poured the vinegar over the top to let it marinate a little while I prepared everything else. I thought this might help soften the cabbage and cut down on the amount of the dressing I needed to use. It was delish!
I also had a Fuji with a Tbsp. of almond butter. I left it in the spoon for better scooping action!
Later I had another seriously juicy orange. These babies are a mess but sooo sweet!

Snack

I whipped this post out in record time and now I am going to allow myself to veg out a little and enjoy this chocolatey Z bar. Remember these? Yeah, it's been a while!
I've already done all my dishes, packed my dinner for my four hour work shift at 6, practiced my entire program, and blogged up to the present! Small accomplishments but I'm feelin' good! See ya later :)

Easy Tuesday

Good Morning! Breakfast this morning is a homegrown orange from Alex and Dena's, homemade granola with banana, and green tea.

I always forget the gummy vites! I will eat two on my way out.

Today is going to be an easy day. I have work at 9, class at 11, and allergy testing at 1:30. Then I'm free for the day and I plan on using it for a little retail therapy! Hopefully I'll get to make my way into Bed Bath and Beyond so I can finally buy and electric citrus juicer.

See ya!
