I can’t believe it’s hump day already!!! My humps! Breakfast was the regular. Doesn’t it look goooood?!?
After breakfast I called about 8 million editors and got in touch with three. Gah. All morning, I sipped on my latest discovery, a sparkler from Cascadia. I picked up Black Cherry, Lime & White Grape last night at the grocery store to taste test! I am totally loving it!! It is sweetened with Splenda though, so I don’t want to go crazy overboard with it I guess, but it worked amazingly today for a taste of sweet after my meals. This would be perfect for making low cal cocktails too!
Right at noon, I dug into Monday night’s leftovers. More TJ action!
After lunch, I took a little walk outside. I was in a FOG all day today and I just couldn’t shake it! The fresh air helped…a lil bit. Around 3, I went for another walk with my work girlies for some iced coffee. I also whipped out the biggest cinnapple ever!!! I put half in a bowl and nuked it for 2 minutes for some faux warm apple pie filling. The other half I started to eat cold and crunchy but the hot apples were so much better that I ended up cooking those too. I can’t believe I forgot about this easy, yummy treat! Nothing but apples & cinnamon and it was still perfectly sweet.
Look at all those slices! Jumbo apple, right?!
Hot apple deliciousness
Okay, I’ll stop boring you with the endless apple discussion! After work, I met up with the office girls at Runyon Canyon for a hike. I just wasn’t feeling the gym today. This time, the fresh air kicked my fog for good! The trails were decently crowded as usual. The people watching at Runyon is awesome. I seriously stare people down. So many gorgeous shirtless men! And Jessica Biel today! She was walking her puppers 
We hiked for maybe an hour, hour & a half before splitting up and heading home for food. Tonight I made the BOSSIEST salad ever. Sorry Homegirl for stealing your vocab, but that’s the only word to describe it! This baby had some lettuce blend, green onions, red onions (hmm double onions, no kissing for me tonight), mushrooms, grape tomatoes, baked tempeh squares, a few mango slices, a sprinkle of spaghetti squash, and some Catalina free dressing.
I ate the rest of the spaghetti squash salted on the side!
Right now I am watching Grey’s!!! I am so behind & I can’t wait to see this finale everyone is talking about! Just munching on some popcorn, the whole grain Target brand kind. I love this stuff!! A huge bag is 100 calories or less
Three Things for Wednesday
- Ordered iced coffee instead of a light frap at Starbucks
- Skipped the usual pre-workout bar (that apple was enormous, did I mention that already?!)
- Picked popcorn for my TV snack

I can’t believe you saw Jessica Biel! Perhaps I could live in CA for that reason alone. The apple looks delicious. The discussion/admiration was definitely not overboard lol.

I need to try these eggplant cutlets – they look so good! Are they crispy?

yummy drink!
nice- you spotted Jessica Biel! maybe you could get all paparrazi and stake them out or something??

I didn’t know Target had a popcorn brand, I’ll have to check it out. I eat the Orville Redenbacher, but I bet Target’s brand is cheaper!
May 21, 2009 at 4:47 pm
Whoa whoa whoa…you go hiking and see Jessica Biel?! That is so awesome! Talk about great motivation!
Can’t wait to hear what you think of Grey’s!

Apple looks amazing! I tried your cinnapple trick yesterday, cold crisp green apple w/ cinnamon. Loved it! I usually only buy the granny smiths for Andrew b/c they’re too sour for me…but this was purrrrfect. v.v. good
(thought you’d like the v.v.)
Glad you kicked the fog to the curb!
Still lovin your 3 things!

Oooohhhh gurrrrl you have my permission to use BOSSY wheneva you like! Sometimes foods (ie: yo salad) just need to be deemed BOSSSSYYY!!!! because it just fits the description so well!
Jessica Biel HEEEYY girl hey! I love going down to LA and staying with my fam down there because I seriously go to the Santa Monica stairs and just stay on the look-out for celebs! I have been waiting for John Mayer to show up but he still hasn’t! Waahh!
May 21, 2009 at 9:46 pm
I better see some celebs this summer! And they better invite me to join them where ever they’re going! That happens a lot, right? Haha.
I think homegirl is spreading the vocab so that we use it too. So then we’re all speaking and typing “homegirl style.” I don’t mind one bit. Because that salad IS bossy! That song wasn’t a hit long enough, in my opinion. I still need to learn every single word.
Anyway, I hope you’re having a thrilling Thursday!

hmmm so how is it that those apples look so much like potato wedges? hahaha they look very very tasty!
I also had popcorn last night…but lots lots more!!
YUM!
