my less serious day: Scooby Doo

I was pleased with the colors in my outfit choice until someone commented that I was dressed like Daphne from Scooby Doo. After mentally beating the crap out of said person, I hurried back to my office to google the cartoon. Turns out, they were right.

Wearing.

Purple top: The Limited; mint cardigan: J Crew; jeans: GAP; necklace: gifted via mom: shoes: Miz Mooz via Piperlime.

Doing.

This morning's workout was a 35-minute stationary bike ride (ramp intervals) and a 15-minute walk with L. I took another 15-minute walk during lunch, and finished my day with a 60-minute Body Pump class after work.

Eating.


Pre-workout I had 1/2 banana, 1/2 mug of black coffee, and 1 pint of water. For breakfast I had a bowl of Kashi GoLean Original mixed with Post Great Grains Raisin, Date, & Pecan cereal, chia seeds, 1/2 banana, and almond milk.


Lunch was 100% inspired by Kathleen at The Daily Crumb. A sweet potato (I cooked mine in the crock pot) topped with a 'baked' (microwaved for ~ 2 minutes) Pink Lady apple, plain Greek yogurt, cinnamon, and a drizzle of maple syrup. It's like dessert, but it's lunch - and it's delicious.
 

My afternoon snack was golden raisins and almonds.


Dinner was a piece of whole wheat toast topped with chickpeas simmered in Seeds of Change Tikka Masala sauce served alongside roasted zucchini and squash with parsley.


Dessert was a leftover hint o' mint chocolate chip cookie.

Note: this post represents what happened in my world on Tuesday, March 21.

    1. thanks, julianna! golden raisins are so awesome. in my opinion far superior to the dark kind. they make a great snack, salad topper, or addition to pasta dishes.

  9. A sweet potato and an apple sounds so good right about now! And of course that cookie looks delicious. :) Don't worry about the Daphne apparel. She was always my fave.

  11. Daphne or not, that's a cute outfit! I LOVE the color of the cardigan too, so springy! And yum those are some awesome looking meals. Tikka Masala is one of my favorite seasonings but I've never thought to use it with chickpeas!
