I love today. If I wasn’t already married, I would marry today. This morning was a little weird because I was feeling funny, but it’s all good now- this weather can cure about anything!
So I got up around 7. Ate a little cereal (my cereal pic disappeared 🙁 so no pic) and a piece of whole wheat bread with cinnamon raisin peanut butter.
My tummy was feelin funny, but I went to workout anyway. After my workout I was going to go to kickboxing, but I still wasn’t feeling well, so I decided to skip. Here’s where I workout- I love this place!
After that it was field trip time!!! This weeks field trip was to whole foods! I love that place but I don’t get to go often because it takes about 45 mins to get there. (I have another field trip planned for next week, but I’m not telling what it is!)
I went in with no grocery list, which I don’t think I’ve done since college. I just wanted to see how creative I could be putting together my dinners this week. I also wanted to try out a whole lotta new stuff! I got some really cool stuff and spent waaay too much money (shhh- don’t tell my husband!!). After I left the store with my loot, I had a chobani yogurt and a clif z bar on the way to my next errand, which was a quick trip to central market to get a few things I couldn’t find at whole foods.
After that I went to get my car washed because it was freaking nasty. I decided to do that after I passed by the MINI dealership in Arlington and all the sparkling new MINIs put me to shame. Now it’s all pretty and brand new looking! (don’t mind the hunk of junk in the background- that is hubby’s little project that will likely never really be finished!)
ahhh, so pretty! I love my little car!
Then I unloaded the groceries- look at all the stuff I got!
And here is all the new (to me at least) stuff that I got to try out. I love to find new all natural organic stuff- it’s like a treasure hunt! LOL!
Truvia (a sweetner kinda like Stevia), Amy’s Texas style veggie burgers, coconut water (I’ll make a special post about that one later), Chobani (greek yogurt), Lentils, wheat berries, whole wheat Naan, a funny looking very wrinkly type of tangerine(don’t remember what it was called), srirachi (did I spell that right?), and some sparkling water.
Then I had some lunch because I was STARVING!
An Amy’s Texas style burger on a freshly made whole wheat bun from central market with mustard, pickles, lettuce, and sprouts. It was really really good! But being a Texan I can’t condone them calling it a Texas burger :p. It was good nonetheless!
I also had some sparkling water spiked with some OOBA (it’s a sparkling Hibiscus drink and it’s fantastic!!). OOBA is awesome, but it’s really sweet, so I dilute it with some plain sparkling water.
Perfect!!
After that I put my grains into some cute new containers that I found at World Market. They have a little chalk paint on them so that you can write and then erase whatever you need! Cute huh?
That brings us up to the present. I’m now enjoying my little sweet treat (the only thing naughty that I bought today). It’s one of my favorite things from whole foods and I get some every time I go 🙂
Chocolate covered cranberries!!
Unfortunately, I have to get cleaning now, here’s my to do list for the evening…

-throw in a load or two of laundry
-dinner
Anyone up to anything fun tonight??
I love those Amy’s burgers! I’m not a Texan so I can’t comment on that aspect of them, but they’re fantastic veggie burgers. They’re tasty and have a nice texture, I think.
Chocolate covered cranberries?! Oh, my! I did not know such a thing existed, but I will certainly be looking for them next time I go… which isn’t very often because I always spend too much too haha
