I had a container of vanilla Chobani, lots of granola, and a spoonful of pumpkin butter. Tasty!
I wore green diamond patterned tights to work today. Patterned tights add some interesting texture to an outfit and they’re more fun than the plain black tights I usually wear.
I snacked on an apple berry VitaMuffin. When I was picking out a flavor to bring to work, I remembered that ChocolatePickle said this was one of her favorites!
I wanted to redeem myself after yesterday’s embarrassing cardio session. I ran on the treadmill for 20 minutes and then walked for 5. I’m saving my strength workout for commercial breaks during Glee. I used the foam roller and then sat in the sauna for 15 minutes.
I definitely didn’t pack enough food today. I had to buy a cup of lentil soup. I’d never tried this flavor before, and I was pleasantly surprised. The soup smelled great and had a savory flavor.
We went to Foodies Urban Market to get some groceries. Foodies is one block from our apartment, but it doesn’t have a big selection. But it did have 3 seasonal flavors of Cliff Bars! While I’ve seen a few flavors mentioned on other blogs, these 3 were ones I hadn’t read about before. I’m looking forward to sampling!
I took a risk and made brussel sprouts with dinner tonight. I bought a bag of frozen sprouts and microwaved them for 5 minutes. Then I tossed them in olive oil, salt, pepper, basil, and oregano. I baked the brussel sprouts at about 250 while the fulsilli was cooking.
Dinner: Mixed greens with garlic and herb vinaigrette, fusilli with red sauce and Parmesan cheese, and brussel sprouts along with a glass of table wine we brought home from the tiny town of Chadurie in France.

I have to wait till the husband is done working to watch Glee–hope it’s good! How did you like the Apple Berry Vita?? I’m realizing people have strongly different tastes when it comes to Vitas….some people HATE the corn muffins and I had one today and loved it! So I hope you liked the Apple Berry!

I love fun pasta! I don’t think I’ve ever had fulsilli before. They look like perfect little spirals.

I love adding interesting tights to an outfit. Accessories like tights, scarves, bracelets are the easiest ways to add interest or a trend to classic pieces. It saves you money too because you aren’t wasting money on clothes that will go out of style in two months.
Your dinner looks great. I like to steam my frozen brussels, but I think I’ll try your idea of microwaving them then roasting. Yum!
