Here we are at yet another Monday. This Monday is particularly special for me because it marks my last full school-day Monday of my year. YAHOOO!!! I am so anxious to get to this week over with and then it will be smooth sailing. Finals will be next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday…but I’ve got it all under control. :D I actually don’t mind finals week because they are super short school days and I’m out before noon.
Speaking of noon, that is the time today that I had my 3rd acupuncture appointment. It is going really well! I have gotten past the initial nervousness and uneasy feelings from the needles and now I just go in, my doc puts the needles in, and I get to take a nap! I have been researching all the benefits of acupuncture and it really is amazing! I love the whole natural holistic approach that it has. And I’ve got to admit..I feel better. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this will be the cure for my constant sickness and allergy problems!!
Here’s a look at my artistic breakfast from this morning:
The overnight mixture was my regular mix of 1/2 cup oats, 3 tbsp of almond milk, 1 scoop protein powder, 1/2 mashed banana, lots of cinnamon. Then I topped it with an assortment of blueberries, banana slices, shredded coconut, and Mighty Maple. SOOOO GOOD!
Since I had that appointment at noon, I got to come home for lunch and whip up something real quick:
Sandwich time!
AND my first JamFrakas bar, thanks to Meg! This was so cute and delicious. I would definitely buy these again…or anything Larabar for that matter. ;)
After school I had planned on doing Jillian’s 30 Day Shred but I was darn tired…so I listened to my body and I took a nap!
When I woke up, I figured it was time for some snackage:
an orangie:
A blueberry muffin that my mom made:
A glass of FRS:
And for dinner tonight, I wanted to roast one of my favorite veggies ever…
…Brussel Sprouts!
With some chicken that my mom grilled:
I really wanted to make sure I saved room for a very special dessert that I bought today…
COCONUT ICECREAM!!!!
You have no idea how excited I was when I found this stuff. Being the ice cream fanatic that I am, I knew I had to try this stuff.
It is vegan and organic…and contains a good dose of healthy coconut fat.
Pure. Bliss. Enough said.
I’ve always said, there is no better way to end the day than with ice cream. :)
Now, since I didn’t get any exercise in this afternoon, I’m going to go for a walk with my doggie and my mom. Have a great night everybody!
Question: What is your favorite healthy dessert?
