Wed/Thurs Eats and More
Wednesday PM
On the way home from work, I munched on about 5 pieces of Butterscotch Bark (butterscotch chips, peanuts & pretzels) that looked like this:

I am excited to report that last night, Kevin and I were able to fit in a 50 min mountain bike ride before sunset. We started at the same location as the race will start on Sunday, so now we know exactly where to go and what type of trail we are up against.
My legs felt strong, which I am attributing to spin and the Jillian Michaels workouts where she makes me do a million squats and lunges. The weather was great and it felt good to be out there again.
Afterwards, it was getting late and we were 20 mins from home, so we decided to stop by Pei Wei for dinner. (please excuse the blurry iPhone pics)
Jasmine @ Sweet and Fit has been making me drool over the Vietnamese Chicken Salad Summer Rolls, so we had to start with those.
So light and fresh and TASTY. We will be getting these EVERY time we go there from now on!
I ordered Vegetable & Tofu Pad Thai for my main meal and it did not disappoint. HUGE portion, so I took a bunch home.
Thursday
Breakfast was another variation of steel-cut oats. I finally found the unsweetened coconut lots of people have been mentioning.
...and I just noticed it says to "Refrigerate after opening". Mine is sitting at home on the counter right now - oops!!
In my bowl: Steel Cut Oats, agave nectar, coconut, chopped pecans, almond butter. Not a horrible combo, but I definitely missed the sweetness of my banana.
This is what my packed lunch looked like for today. Leftover Tofu/Veggie Pad Thai, 3 cuties, and a Chocolate Peppermint Luna bar, which should get me through the afternoon.
Wanna see inside?Oh and I also brought two fortune cookies for dessert at lunch. Pei Wei puts a huge bin of them out for all to take, so I TOOK.

Does anyone else have a desk calendar? Mine was a Christmas gift from my parents: Words to Woof by, 365 smiles for Dog Lovers. I thought today's was cute. I guess I am biased towards golden retrievers though. :)
What type of desk calendar/regular calendar do you have?
