Happy Thursday! This week is flying by so far! I made the most of yesterday by power walking at lunch for 30 minutes, and then walking home as fast as I could for 30 minutes, so I felt really good about that!
AND, another day sticking to my calories!!! Wahoo!!!!!
I decided to walk to Whole Foods to use yet another gift card I got for Christmas there. It was a $20.00 gift card. I thought I would get something from the salad bar, some chia seeds, and a bag of quinoa. Guess what the total was for just those 3 items: $16.99!!!
But once I got back to my office, I decided to eat half of the salad I made and save the rest for today.
From the salad bar, I got red quinoa, some farro, shredded carrots, green onions, edamame, peas, garbanzo beans, cauliflower and celery. I had my favorite Thai peanut sauce at work, so I add the sauce and then cooked it in the microwave for a few minutes to warm everything up. It was awesome!
And, I had some more of the Oatmeal for breakfast. This time I put a banana and dried cranberries in it. I let it sit for a while, and the cranberries really plumped up. They were so good!
So, my goal for today? No food from a luncheon at work today. I don’t go to the luncheon, but there will be leftovers I’m sure. I ordered the food for the rep, so it’s pizza, pasta, garlic bread and pop. Wish me luck!
Have a fantastic day – make it count 🙂
Yay for the Whole Foods gift card!!!! Makes for such a treat. Have a great day!
Good luck! Hee hee. 🙂
$20 WF giftcard is really nothing. They don’t call it Whole Paycheck for no reason!
You are like a gift card jackpot! haha I’ve never heard of anybody mentioning/using so many gift cards in my life!
That salad sounds awesome. I just restocked on quinoa. I opted for the regular b/c the red quinoa was $1 more per box and I’m cheap. hehe 😛
Your salad looks awesome. I have red quinoa in my pantry and now I know what to do with it 🙂
I LOVE cranberries in my oatmeal – thanks for the reminder! Have a great Friday! 🙂
