(Three) Apples a Day Keeps the Doctor Away

Hello There Blog People!

I hope this Wednesday has treated you all well – there’s nothing better than knowing we’re more than halfway through this week!

I woke up after a GREAT night’s sleep and made myself a fabulous breakfast -

Quaker Oatmeal Squares, an apple and a foamy coffee with soymilk

This baby was not only delicious, but it kept me full for HOURS. Which ended up being a good thing as I had a crazy busy morning! I ran around the office like a chicken with my head cut off until about 12:30 when I finally sat down and dove head first into my lunch!

Hummus and veggies galore on Joseph’s lavash wrap with an apple (can ya tell I’m running low on fruit??)

I literally piled up EVERY LAST veggie that I had in my fridge and stuffed it into my wrap. The load included:

• Baby carrots
• Celery
• Cucumbers
• Romaine Lettuce
• 1/4 cup of hummus

Not that I even have to say this, but this fiber-rific lunch definitely did the trick in filling me up!

During lunch I also managed to squeeze in an activist moment!

I signed Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution Petition and received a thank-you from the man himself

Super personal. Haha. Oh well – it’s for a good cause as I know we all agree

I also read a few blogs on my google reader during my 30 minute lunch break and after doing so I had one thing and one thing only on my mind for dinner -

PANCAKES!!

Thanks to J.Lee for the awesome idea – these ROCKED

I used soymilk and they came out SO thick and fluffy!

In true J.Lee style, I just ripped and dipped

So satisfying

Mike and I did end up getting ice cream last night to eat while we watched Precious (which was SO GOOD by the way! Definitely recommend it!) and I just couldn’t resist dipping back into my vanilla frozen yogurt cup after dinner for a couple more bites (with some crumbled Clif bar on top of course!)…

Aaaand finally, I’ll wrap up this marathon post with an award!!
