All day I’ve ben thinking it’s Thursday. I called home thinking my mom would be around to talk cuz she’s off on Thursdays. Nope. I was looking forward to a new episode of the Office. Nope. Gotta wait til tomorrow!
I made a Chobani blend for breakfast. I blended cranberry apple butter into plain Greek yogurt. I added a bit of brown sugar, fresh strawberries, and peanut butter. This was okkk. The plain yogurt was a bit too tart so I can’t consider it a real success. If I had used vanilla yogurt, it would’ve been amazing.
When you find something you like, eat it over and over and over… I only have 1 wedge of Laughing Cow cheese left. Wahhh.
I ordered vegetable soup and grilled cheese. I ended up with broccoli cheddar soup. I wasn’t too disappointed because I wanted to try the broc cheddar. Until a few bites in… I realized I really didn’t like the soup. Oh well, you win some and you lose some. Cuz the grilled cheese was delicious!
I normally take a spin class on Wednesday nights, but I knew I couldn’t because I had plans after work. So I did a really laid back “spin” workout and pedaled the recumbent bike for 20 minutes while reading In Defense of Food. Really interesting! I stretched and did a short ab workout. And I left plenty of time to sit in the sauna for 10 minutes.
Unpictured afternoon snacks: strawberries, almonds, and a Special K bar!
I met Julie at Whole Foods for a very important business meeting. We’re roommates at FitBloggin so there was a lot to discuss. 
Plus I peer pressured Julie into grinding some fresh peanut butter (OMG, the smell was amazing) and we grabbed dinner from the salad bar.
I loved being at a big grocery store. Shopping in the city isn’t as spread out (traffic jams in the aisles) and doesn’t offer as much variety (really small shelves). I bought peanut butter and almond butter and spinach for tomorrow’s Green Monster. Oh and that blue bowl, well that was a gift from my lovely date. Thanks Julie! Shes trying to win me over so I don’t make her sleep in the bathtub.
Julie and I shared a few thoughts on Food Inc. and I asked her questions about being a vegetarian. I’m halfway done with writing my Vegetarian Challenge reflections. Don’t lose any sleep…it will be up tomorrow!

I had to take a break from buying that chocolate PB – my last jar disappeared awfully quickly.
In your yogurt, I think that cranberry apple butter is also really tart (though delicious) maybe too tart combined with the plain yogurt?

Sounds like a fun time!
I agree with you on the Greek yogurt, plain is too tart for me to eat as a snack. I use it as a mayo or in pasta. Vanilla is my snackie flavor.

I usually go with vanilla yogurt. But I am also buying plain and starting to develop a taste for it.
You and Julie are going to have so much fun at Fitbloggin’! Glad you got to work out some of the details last night

I use vanilla a lot of the time, too for snacking. Plain is just too much. I also have been thinking it is a day ahead. It stinks.

I love vanilla yogurt – I’m not sure if I can get fully on board with plain though…vanilla greek is about as plain as i get!
I also thought yesterday was Thursday…it makes for such a long week.

Oh, I hate it when that happens! At least today finally is Thursday. Can’t wait for The Office!
Grocery shopping in cities is terrible. Everyone is in a rush, everthing is cramped, and the prices are really bad. I love getting out to a Whole Foods or other groceries outside the city.
