Yellow correlates with happiness

I was displeased to discover that the lecture I dragged myself to school for was actually a tutorial taught by my TA, which was by no means testable. At least I got to smell the rainy air smell - you know, the one that smells like there's worms everywhere [because there really are worms everywhere]!

After getting home I prepared some lunch for myself.



 Avocado-ed tuna salad embroidered by strawberry slices.



After lunch I got ready for my MMA class. The class was totally awesome! I really enjoyed throwing various punches and kicks. It definitely helped me get rid of a lot of frustration and stress!

I made a wonderful meal for dinner. I had a yellow sweet potato baking in the oven. Unfortunately I cooked it for a little too long, causing it to be a little harder than expected. That didn't stop me from eating it, of course.

I decided sautéed tofu atop of a hearty plate of salad sounded delicious and dinner-worthy!




















Yellow sweet potato on the side!






































Amazing.

After dinner I had some tea and a few mini cups of tofu, diced peaches and crushed almonds sweetened with Splenda and cinnamon.


































Don't-cha just love healthy snacks?!

Time to do some reading and then some sleeping. Have a great night!

Raw-king dinner

I decided on going to my 8:15 pm yoga class. Boy, do I feel better!

I stopped by the local drug store to purchase some all-natural peanut butter. I went by about a week ago and found that they were lacking in that wonderful product. When I got to the store I discovered there was still no all-natural PB! I wasn't about to compromise and get peanut butter with sugar and hydrogenated oils. Blech. I must admit I've been a bit lazy. I could have easily gone to the grocery store but it's just a teeny bit further than the drug store. Perhaps I'll go tomorrow? I'm starting to show nut-butter withdrawal symptoms!

Tonight's dinner was extremely simple. I didn't really crave cooked veggies, so I ate them raw instead!




















I just love eating sliced broccoli stems!




















This afternoon's lemon dill chicken a la tomato sauce.




















So yummy. I had little cup of tomato sauce on the side, which I used for dipping.

After dins, my sweet tooth was completely unavoidable. I didn't want anything too empty-calorie-ish, so I figured this babe would do the trick:




















This monster contained 1/2 scoop Isoflex chocolate protein powder, 3 handfuls spinach, 1/3 frozen banana, 1/2 cup water and 4 ice cubes.




















Garnished with some cocoa lovin'.

This drink is actually one of my favourite treats. Aside from the fact that it's so tasty, it's also chock full of nutrients!

Anyways, time to call it a night. Sweet dreams everyone!
