my less serious day: 1st place breakfast

Most every day, dinner is my favorite meal. Not today. Today, breakfast took the prize. Here's hoping that dinner isn't a sore loser... 

Wearing.

Skirt: LOFT; top: J Crew outlet; belt: Banana outlet; necklace: gifted; shoes: Urban Outfitters

Doing.

This morning I gladly stayed inside my house for a 35-minute stationary bike ride (ramp interval) followed by a 15-minute walk with L. I also took two more 10-minute walks during my day, one after lunch and one when I returned home from work. My afternoon workout was a 60-minue Body Pump class.

Eating.


Breakfast (1st place) was the prize-winning yogurt bowl containing ~1 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, cinnamon, 1/2 sliced banana, 1/2 slice leftover oatmeal pumpkin bread crumbled and warmed, and a drizzle of almond butter. Heaven in a bowl.


Lunch (last place, as usual) was a Lean Cuisine, a disappointingly-mealy Gala apple, and almonds.



Dinner (second place) was baked chicken (quick-marinated in lime, salt, and pepper) topped with avocado, wild mushroom couscous (Near East), and roasted eggplant on top of steamed spinach.


Dessert (third place) was a small bowl of Cascadian Farms dark chocolate almond granola drowned in almond milk.

Note: these are the actual events that took place on Wednesday, October 26.

  6. I love this outfit! Your style, in general, is beyond adorable. I have those heels from Urban in black and I'm obsessed with them! They're so comfortable and versatile.
    All of your food looks delicious, per usual. Especially the roasted eggplant- I've been on a serious roasted veggie kick lately. I can't get enough!
