Sorry for being MIA Tuesday and Wednesday – I had two long busy days with work and other commitments. Tuesday – I had a dentist appointment after work, and then a volleyball game after the dentist appointment. Wednesday – I had bowling after work! CRAZY! On top of that – we received some unfortunate news Tuesday at work – the company had to undergo a round of layoffs due to the economy, so over 250 positions were eliminated. The same day Sony and Yahoo both announced layoffs and there is no good news coming from the auto industry either. It was a very difficult day.
But onto food!
Dinner Monday – whole wheat pasta with shrimp and spaghetti sauce – not a good pic:

For breakfast – I couldn’t find a bowl anywhere, and I was admittedly too lazy to walk down to the caf, so I started my day with a Clif Mojo bar – Trail Mix. I hadn’t had this one before, but I was REALLY pleasantly surprised. I think I liked it even better than the pretzel PB crunch bar

The combo of salty/sweet/chewy/crunchy was ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!

For a snack, I chowed down on a delicious blueberry z-bar (didn’t have time to take a pictures due to all our meetings yesterday). Lunch – another standard salad:

After depressing meeting number 5 – I broke into what is almost the end of my Chobani stash – and had the Chobani original with some Kashi H2H and pom seeds to top it off.

Since I was running around like a crazy lady – I didn’t really have time for dinner – but I did have time to try one of the special holiday clif bars – Spiced Pumpkin Pie. This bar was ABSOLUTELY DIVINE. Hands down – the favorite bar I’ve ever had in my life. It was spicy and sweet – and tasted like a pumpkin roll (HELLO – DOES ANYTHING GET BETTER THAN A PUMPKIN ROLL?)

Sorry I don’t have a pic of the inside – I snapped the above at a stop light – and at while driving.
My teeth cleaning was easy – the lady said she could tell I flossed – I was all proud of myself – and my games went well too – we won all 3. I was just really ready for the day to be over – it was draining with all of the happenings at work.
Wednesday morning I got up and worked out – and decided breakfast at home was the way to go – I finished off my Kashi H2H with some scrumptious (that’s right!) hemp milk – I love that stuff!

The best z-bar ever made for a snack:

For lunch – another salad – they get more and more boring as the week goes on – I haven’t gone to the grocery store in forever!

Bowling Alley dinner – that’s right! They threw a “Christmas party” for our league – I thought that was nice!


You have to have the tall beer to wash it all down!
Today I was so busy – I didn’t eat lunch til noon. That’s right – noon. I got my oatmeal bowl out and 9 and craziness ensued from there! Breakfast ended up being just a z-bar again:

Followed shortly by lunch – the most boring salad in ages, and a Tandoor Chef frozen meal – Channa Masala:


Today I finally have a break – with no official plans after work. I need to head out and grab my mom’s Christmas present, but that’s about it. I can’t believe it Thursday already! Hope you all have had a good week – anyone else excited for the Office tonight?

First off, I think that picture of spaghetti and shrimp looks delicious – I actually want some now.
And that is really sad to hear about all the layoffs. I really hope things turn out in the end.
