Happy Monday!

 

This morning started off great! Sweet spin class…then lunched on some veggie soup and a quick wrap with some tofurky, mustard and cucumbers and a fresh satsuma orange.

wrap

The Tofuky I tried out in my wrap was really good. It was a cranberry and stuffing flavor. Pretty holiday-ish.

Delicious! I showered fast with some Klean whipped body polish. I cannot get over how awesome this stuff is! I used a Pumpkin spice whipped body polish followed up with some Angel food cake smelling body soufflé. Yum! I smell like dessert. Its great.

Then back to work time. After work though I had to get my shop on! The realization that the holidays is just around the corner finally hit me. Ack! Time to get it in gear. I finally went to this new mall that just opened. I have been avoiding it because well it just opened and its the holidays..so I thought it was going to be a total mad house. But really not so bad. I ended up walking out with too many things for myself. I hate when i do that! hahah.

Massive perfume headache now though. I think I must have tested out about 50 perfumes. Ugh. Do you ever avoid malls and stores around the holidays? (I certainly do! Well certain ones anyways=)

When I got back I was super hungry for some reason. I whipped up some tofu peanut butter pudding and topped it with some chia seeds, coconut, goji berries and some raw cacao nibs. It was ssooo good!

It was super comforting and just hit the spot. Now Im off to see if there is a Criminal Minds on. (When is there not?) I absolutely love that show. Anyways have a fabulous night everyone!

Tommorrow morning tickets for the UT game are on sale. Its gonna be tough to get but we are getting ready for it. Wish us luck!

  2. Yum, cacao nibs and goji berries! Sounds like a nice combination.
    I am actually one of the people who avoids the malls like the plague around the holidays. I have been there once, and that was at the beginning of December. I haven't been back since, yet I'm already 80% finished with my shopping!! I go online or go to strip malls, which tend to be more bearable for me.
    Have a great day!

  8. Sounds like a very nice Monday overall! I avoid the malls at all cost after the first week of December! We have an outdoor shopping plaza in our town center and thats the only "mall like" place I am willing to go :) Great lunch- love a good veggie soup

  9. "tofu peanut butter pudding and topped it with some chia seeds, coconut, goji berries and some raw cacao nibs. It was ssooo good!" God it sounds awesome!!! Love the flavor combos!

    Headaches and perfumes...YES! I am really chemically sensitive and certain perfumes just give me an instant brain jolt and the lingering effects last all day. So I def avoid crowded dept stores on weekends! ha!

  10. I can't believe I still haven't tried tofurky - the cranberry and stuffing flavor sounds interesting.

    I've been thinking about running during work, do those Klean whipped body polish thing work? Where did you get them?

  13. I have yet to try the goji berries but they always look so good!

  14. That pb tofu pudding sounds amazing! How did you make it??

    I definitely try to avoid malls around Christmas time. I am all about the online shopping. For sure. Although I did brave the huge Macy's in Herald Square the other day and the crowds outside the store were actually infinitely worse than the crowds inside. Go figure.

  16. Hey all!! Thanks for all your amazing comments so far!=) Made my day! The PB pudding that i make is here: http://livingfitdaily.blogspot.com/2009/10/peanut-butter-pudding-love.html
    Also you can sub regular PB too. Its super easy! I just add PB to taste. (and water thin it out and some stevia) Another great way to make it is 2 packs of silken tofu, 1 pack of Mori-Nu vanilla pudding mix and about 1/2-3/4 c. of PB. Its awesome this way too!! Enjoy!

  17. ick, perfume headings are the worst!!! The same things happens to me when my mom insists on spraying mass amounts of Febreze around the house... awful!

  18. Eek perfume headaches! Oh I know what you mean...For me, though, the worse is the headache you get from all the loud music...

    I've always been meaning to try those cacao nibs...but I just can't to seem to be able to fork over the money to get them! lol.
    I've tried goji juice though. Someone gave it as a gift. :-)
