8/17 Wednesday ~ 1600 calories

Last Wednesday was so different from this Wednesday!

I treated my cousin to a fabulous LMFAO concert last week to send her off in style to her first year in Dental School (I’m hoping she will become a holistic dentist!!!)

We partied like rock stars, danced our a$$es off and every part of our body was covered in glitter by the end of the night!

The infamous GLITTER GUN!  Glitter Glitter Everywhere, Glitter Glitter in my Hair!

I love my cousin, everything about her, how could I not?  She is my mini me!

Morning:

This Wednesday was much easier to wake up to…. It started of course with my hot lemon water and a dash of cayenne

Enjoying a hot cup of Larry’s Beans Fair Trade Organic Coffee while checking my Facebook Fan Page…

TIP – If you “Like” My Fan Page, feel free to post questions/comments/random healthy thoughts on my wall – I love to respond to them!

After running a mile as fast as I could and brutal stair monster workout at the Uptown Y – I enjoyed this at my desk at work….The Hari Shake!  Same concoction as 8/15 Monday….
And of course I was kind to my burning muscles by adding Jay Robb Protein to my breakfast

I had my usual mid-morning snack – veggies and almondsI only had a short time to eat today – my collard wraps were made in a super hurry! 

Can you tell?  I enjoyed skimming Creative Loafing to see if Luna’s Living Kitchen won best Vegetarian Restaurant in Charlotte…. of course it did!  Did I have any doubt – no!  LOVE THAT PLACE.  If you are ever in town or haven’t been – go immediately.

My other favorite Halcyon Flavors of the Earth won best new restaurant!!!  Yeah!!!! Their farm salad is incredible!  Pictures on my facebook fan page 🙂

Back at work, I had a snack attack.  It started with these sprouted wheat pretzels that are addictive!  I talked about them in this post and video!!!

Half of a Parfait Porridge – I promise recipe will.come.soon.And then there was a chocolate breakdown.  Ate my favorite vegan chocolate from Dolphin Natural Choccolates…Cashew, Coconut and Raisin… oh it hit the spot!  I get these at Berrybrook Farms Natural Foods Store.

It was a two tea day – very cold in the office
After work – I rushed like a banshee out of hell to Yoga One.  Daniel was teaching, I swear he has powers beyond comprehension.  I came into class wanting to leave after two breaths, and then it was over in a snap.  It felt like I didn’t even blink my eyes.  How does a yoga teacher do this! I had an AMAZINGLY ENERGIZING & CALMING PRACTICE – Thank you Daniel!!!!

I made some juice before jumping in the shower…

And I started steaming some broccoli – but only after I washed it real good.  No bugs (extra protein) today! 
Then I got out of the shower to find these… Homemade turkey burgers on the grill!  My husband can grill better than anyone I know (except my Father in law!)…. 
This was my plate…. I love raw onions with my turkey burgers.  Notice the size of my burger – 3 ounces.  I try not to have more than this amount of protein at any given time. You just don’t need more to feel satisfied!

The perfect bite – Red onion, pickle, burger and organic ketchup! YUM. And yes, for dessert –  I did it again.  So sue me!

  1. Glitter everywhere! sounds like a blast. What a great way to help your cousin kick off dental school. She definitely is your mimi me, you two could seriously pass as sisters. Never had Larry Bean’s Coffee, I absolutely must try it now if you recommend it!

  2. Yes Larry’s Beans are amazing – they are roasted right here in NC… all of their flavors are great. I like Frenchy French Roast and Mocha! Enjoy!
