I Love Healthy Food!!

Y'all! I did so good today food wise! I will never cease to be amazed at how delicious healthy food can be! I am still recovering from my utterly obscene weekend, so I knew I had some making up to do in the food department. I felt better at boot camp this morning than I did on Monday, but I want to feel even better tomorrow! 

I started my day after boot camp with some yummy special k with a banana! 

It sounds simple, but it's really a great way to get in protein, fruit, and some healthy (organic skim) milk to start off your day! I had cottage cheese for a snack before I headed to my 11 o clock class, and then I was on campus until 3:15! I stopped by the Russell House to pick up some sushi in between classes. I'll admit it wasn't the best sushi I've ever had, but it's still good protein! 

I had a long day today: tons of school work, a trip to the DMV, and babysitting. I knew I wouldn't survive without my favorite thing in the whole wide world- sugar free red bull! Now, I am well aware that red bull is horrible for you. What is it y'all say is in it? Rat poison? Well what-EVER! It is my vice and it gets me through long days and makes me happy so I'm sticking to it! 

I think everyone should have one little vice that they don't give up when making a change in eating habits, and caffeine is mine! If you can get through a day without a skinny latte or a red bull, then more power to you! I cannot. 

I had 6 slices of turkey (50 calories and TONS of protein) and some Yoplait yogurt when I got home from the DMV. I got a new license, woohoo! :) 

I went to babysit at 5:45 and was planning on just eating a Kashi granola bar for supper, but when I got there the mom had eaten a salad for dinner and left the ingredients out for me! I wish I could say I was creative enough to make this beautiful salad, but alas, I stole the idea from a precious mother of two. 

CAN WE JUST TALK ABOUT HOW BEAUTIFUL THAT SALAD IS?!

It consisted of baby arugula, zucchini, marcona almonds, a few pieces of steak, and lemon drizzled on top. Oh. My. Gosh. Delicious! I've never had arugula before and I didn't absolutely love it, but my sweet friend Adam: 

(is he not literally the cutest thing you've ever seen?) recommended I try it with romaine sometime, so I think I shall! The marcona almonds were also super delish, they were olive oil-y with some salt on them! I actually went back for more after I was finished with my salad. The serving size said 23 almonds! I had about 15. Noms :)

I just had a bedtime snack with a little bit of protein in it to get me through boot camp tomorrow! It's one of my very favorite snacks- Kashi waffles! I absolutely love waffles and I know my buttermilk Eggos are not so excellent for me, so I'm glad Kashi has a great alternative! You should try them sometime!

The moral of today's story is that healthy food really can taste delicious! I no longer feel like I am making sacrifices to eat healthy. After this weekend and feeling so crappy afterwards, it is truly a relief to get back to eating foods that are great for my body AND taste good! 

Thank y'all so much for reading this, I'm really enjoying writing for you! Have a great night!
