my less serious day: confession

I usually eat my way through two bags of spinach each week. I consume enough broccoli to satisfy a family of four. I often eat an entire eggplant in one sitting.

Hi, my name is Sara. And I am a volume eater. 

Wearing.

Skirt, cardigan, and necklace: LOFT; tee: Gap; boots: Steve Madden.

Doing.

This morning's workout was a 35-minute stationary bike ride (ramp interval) followed by a 15-minute walk with L. Sadly, this was my only walk of the day as I forgot about my afternoon walk and it is now too dark after work for my evening walks. This afternoon's workout was a 60-minute Body Pump class.

Eating.

Breakfast was (surprise!) a bowl of cereal. Today's selection was Kashi U Black Currants & Walnuts cereal with 1/2 sliced banana and almond milk. Now, I don't want to spoil anything for my cereal review, but: this.cereal.is.awesome.

I went out to lunch today with a friend. First, we split this Caprese appetizer, which included crostini with basil, mozzarella, and tomato drizzled in balsamic vinegar (I had two) and a mixed green salad (I had 3/4).

For my entree I ordered the Spinach and Beet Salad, which include purple and golden beets, feta cheese, toasted walnuts, and french bread croutons in a white wine vinaigrette. I ate every bite.

My unattractive, but delicious dinner was a piece of whole wheat toast topped with goat cheese and an over-easy egg (salty, creamy goat cheese + runny egg yolk = delicious). A roasted eggplant on the side cooked simply with olive oil, salt, and pepper. And yes, I ate an entire eggplant.

Dessert was a glass of warm almond milk accompanied by a piece of whole wheat toast smeared with peanut butter, pumpkin puree, and melty chocolate chips.
