my less serious day: bananas are back

After 10 years of a banana-free existence I have finally welcomed them back into my life. Banana, I missed you so.

Wearing.

Cardigan, top, and skirt: LOFT; belt and necklace: J Crew; wedges: TJ Maxx.

Doing.

I kept my usual Tuesday workout schedule, which began with a 30-minute run at working pace with L. I also took two 10-minutes walks during the day. My afternoon workout was a 60-minute cycling class (muscle group focus ride).

Eating. 


Breakfast was a bowl of Kashi Autumn Wheat cereal, raspberries, and almond milk. As usual, black coffee on the side.


I stopped in at Earth Fare before lunch to pick up a few things and happily munched on a few samples (un-pictured) including a square of smoked Gouda and a pita chip dipped in avocado hummus. Lunch was a Lean Cuisine. My afternoon snack was a banana and a handful of almonds.


Dinner started with a spinach salad with broccoli, onion, grape tomatoes, and pickled beets.


The highlight of dinner was Amanda's pumpkin hummus tortilla pizza topped with spinach, broccoli, grape tomatoes, red peppers, mushrooms, and mozzarella cheese.



Dessert was Greek yogurt, slivered almonds, and honey.

  4. @Courtney. I went on a study abroad to the rain forests of costa rica in college and my teacher stressed how bananas were the #1 cause of their deforestation. i swore i would never eat a banana again. and i haven't, until last week.

  8. @mindrunningwild: not sure what exactly made me decide to eat them again other than seeing them repeatedly on other food blogs and craving them! i also realized i could use some fruit variety. i am happy i am eating them again - had 1/2 on this morning on my cereal. plus the banana and peanutbutter combination is one of my favorites for sure.
