There was lots of color in my diet today.  Absolutely necessary after yesterday’s monochromatic menu.

(My post title is also a nod to Walt Disney because as of today’s count, there are 76 days until my Disney vacation!  77 days until the Wine & Dine Half Marathon!)

I made of oatmeal using the last of my Mad Hectic Oatmeal.  I added some strawberries and my obligatory spoonful of Barney Butter.

My oatmeal may not get voted “Most Photogenic” but it tasted great.  I love the AB/berry combo!

I created a healthy and colorful wrap for lunch at work.  I filled my wrap with grilled chicken, lettuce, cucumbers, avocados, tomatoes, and a drizzle of Ranch dressing.  I also snacked on some chocolate  during the long afternoon hours.

While helping out the housekeeping staff and tidying the locker room, I found an abandoned tabloid magazine.  Immediately, my workout became centered on some quality reading to catch up on “important” news.  I climbed onto the stair master for 22 minutes of quick stepping and celeb stalking.  I finished my workout with abs on a stability ball and lots of stretching.

Post-workout, I went to the grocery store (!!! Extreme excitement cuz this never ever happens) and visited the Urban Grape to grab a few bottles of wine.

Jared and I had a romantic dinner date at home on our own couch.  We ate random leftovers.  I had some pasta with chicken and slaw from Briggs Fest.

Extreme closeup of my dinner!

After dinner, our party of 3 relaxed on the couch and watched It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.  For someone who spent his day lounging around the apartment, Miles was really in the mood to take it easy.

Jared and I shared a bottle of Piazzo Barbera.  This wine is made from grapes in northwestern Italy, specifically from grapes grown in the Piedmont region.  The wine had a great nose.  It smelled like berries, blackberry jam, and had hints of butter and vanilla.  It tasted amazing!  Very much like cherries.  Also, it was medium bodied, with very mild tannins!  Very pleasant to drink during the summer with a light dinner.

A great recommendation from the Urban Grape!

Miles bumped into my glass and I sloshed red wine all over his back.  He proceeded to shake himself dry while still on my tan couch.  Yuck!  But a manageable mess that was easily cleaned with a wet towel.
