I had a WONDERFUL time in Memphis this past weekend but I have to say that the food was a little skimpy....as everyone knows the south is known for BBQ, BBQ, BBQ so I pretty much lived off of fruit cups and oatmeal that I had packed thank goodness. However, I weighed and did lose 4 pounds...crazy!!
Breakfast- bowl of raisin bran with hemp milk
Lunch- ezekial tortilla filled with refried black beans, a bit of grilled asparagus and a HUGE fruit bowl of strawberries, pineapple, banana, kiwi and mango

Today Ryan and I went to Santa Monica for the day, and they were having an apple music festival and it was nuts! Hippie, earth-conscious people EVERYWHERE! It was awesome!
Breakfast- we drank a green smoothie in the car on the way there and I cut up some fruit to eat once we got there (it was only a 40 minute drive)
Snack- We went to Wild Oats so I could get a few things for my Memphis trip this weekend and I got a vegan poppy seed cookie to eat as we shopped
Lunch- EUPHORIA LOVES RAWVOLUTION!! Yes, we finally went to rawvolution- the vegan, raw restaurant in Santa Monica. I was so giddy and ordered the italiano pizza, creamy taco salad, marinated greens salad and had some of Ryan mushroom burger. We drank goji berry lemonade which was wonderful and a green juice that I HATED, it had cucumbers in it and was SO gross, LOL! Dessert was a chocolate cookie dough ball and an apple raisin cookie.
Dinner-no dinner, out lunch was HUGE
Dessert- air popped popcorn with some olive oil spray and salt. About 1 hour I got hungry (probably because i skipped dinner) and had some cinnamon raisin ezekiel toast with my new raw walnut butter that I got at Rawvolution. YUM!

Monday 4-14-08
So I've gotten a little bad with posting "dessert" recipes and not so many "healthy" recipes...mostly because I've been eating alot of dessert recipes, LOL! But I have started eating healthier, exercising more frequently and basically setting out a plan for the week. So I'm going to post what I eat each day along with recipes, as well as my workout for the day! Hopefully I can motivate you to join me! I don't have pictures for all the meals today but here it is;
Monday- 4/14/2008
Breakfast- bowl of oatmeal topped with a banana and strawberries and half a grapefruit.
Snack- larabar, raw cashews
Lunch- Ezekiel tortilla crisped up in the oven filled with brown rice, pinto beans, spinach, broccoli, balsamic vinegar dressing, tomatoes and avocado
Snack- an orange
Dinner- Roasted red pepper spaghetti with bean balls (recipe from veganomicon), kale and avocado salad, and santa cruz organic sparkling root beer.
Dessert- piece of endagered species cocoa-mint chocolate bar
Workout- I fell down a hill, yes you can laugh, hiking this past weekend and am scratched up pretty bad, but the worst part is I jammed my toe and now its all swollen and black and blue. I'm a little scared it might fall off (TMI, I know) but that means its hurts to walk, BADLY, so I just did arms at the gym today :)
