Usual Ramblings

Thank you guys so, so much for your response to my post this morning. You are all amazing! Each and every comment made my day. Seriously, you have no idea.

Since I waxed on all philosophical like this morning, I left out the usual ramblings that I usually cover. Like the fact that I ate this snack yesterday that will probably gross 50% of you out.

Breakstone's Cottage Cheese with Mighty Maple Peanut Butter

Yes, that’s cottage cheese and peanut butter. And yes, it was good. If you’re into that sort of thing. Which I am.

After that I left work and went on the date, which was short so it went fairly well ;) In all honesty, this guy is kind of perfect on paper. He’s the type of guy I’ve never dated in the past, and the type of guy I probably should date. But I’m not sure if there’s any zsa zsa zu (Sex and the City anyone?). We’ll see though. We’re going to a basketball game on Sunday.

Work was awesome again. We got to test out the gait analysis center on each other, and I found out that I’ve been running in the wrong type of shoe. Good to know!

This morning I had a green monster, and later on I enjoyed an Asiago Cheese bagel.

Yummy. Lunch today was at a meeting. Subway, carrots and fruit.

Perhaps you see my beverage lurking in the background? Yes, that would be a Diet Coke.

It is because of this that I’ve decided to begin a Crap Free Week, effective tomorrow. I’m not going to be super strict about it but I’m not going to consume artificial sugar, canned or overly processed food and I’m going to really try to avoid added sugars. I need to get out of the habit of letting myself make these bad choices. Not that I’ve been eating terribly, but it definitely hasn’t been quite as healthy as I prefer to eat.

Oh, did you know that today was National Spinach Day? Of course I celebrated.

Green Monster - National Spinach Day

It was so pretty outside! I wish I could have spent more time out there. I get to tomorrow though. I drank that at the part-time job. A lot of product was out tonight. There’s already so much stuff I want. I’m going to have to control myself or else I’m not going to make any money, haha.

When I got home I had some leftover beet salad from my dinner date last night.

A beet, goat cheese and pistachio salad to be exact. Sounds delicious, right? My date, we’ll call him B, was absolutely grossed out that I ordered this, which I thought was hilarious. He’s pretty much a meet and potatoes kind of guy. Not a perfect match food wise… I made sure to point that out. Like fifty times.

The beet salad was absolutely delicious, but I was still hungry so I had Amy’s Tomato Bisque.

It was good to get it out of the pantry, since it’s not allowed during crap free week :) It’s seriously one of my favorite canned soups though!

Alright, I am about to head to bed. I get to sleep in until the ripe hour of 7:30, and if I got to bed by 11:30 that means I get a whole 8 hours of sleep. Yay!

Do you think it’s important to have similar food tastes as your significant other?
