WIAW 1/2/13

For some reason I absolutely did NOT want to crawl out of my cozy bed this morning. Maybe that reason would be because Lauren and I were up late watching Pretty Little Liars last night.. Yeah. That's gotta be why. Ha! Netflix may very well be the death of me. I grew up without Internet or cable at my house so I've never really been hooked on television shows but here recently Lauren has turned me on to PLL. It's getting out of control, really. I've begun relating everything to that show. I can't imagine a day without at least one episode in it. It's sick. It's twisted. I love it. And luckily, the new season starts up next Tuesday! Woot woot :) Since I just started watching about a week ago, I still have a ton to catch up on before I can watch on Tuesday. It looks like more tiresome mornings are to come in my near future until I am caught up!

After I finally got my tush out if bed this morning I made my way down stairs to make breakfast. I am a firm believer that if I don't get breakfast, the day will be ruined and the world may very well end. Today I made a turkey, spinach and pepper jack cheese omelet with a side of mixed fruit. Naturally, I doused my omelet in hot sauce. It's like that commercial. I really do out that s*** on everything.

For lunch I made tuna salad with dried cranberries, slivered almonds, apples and cinnamon. I made a slight variation from usual tuna salad and have been using Nayonnaise. It's vegan Mayonnaise. I LOVE it. I prefer that to regular mayonnaise hands down. Not only is it better for your body by not having any animal byproducts but it also has a fraction of the fat and calories. Win win? I say yes! With my tuna salad I had Nut Thins crackers and a clementine. Very satisfactory.

Since I worked today I needed a quick and easy afternoon snack that was as equally delicious as it was efficient. I went for a Peanut Toffee Buzz Cliff bar. Toffee? Peanut? 'Nuff said. I love these things. As I am currently in training for a half marathon, these keep my body energized to pull through the rest of my work day and my long run at the gym before I get home for dinner. This particular Cliff bar even has caffeine for an extra charge of energy :)

For dinner I had left overs from yesterday which consisted of pork and sour kraut with apple slices from the slow cooker. Since it was New Years you know I had to make some sort of "lucky" food.. Regardless of how it made our house smell.. Don't get me wrong. Love sour kraut but it's aroma isn't the most desirable.

My evening snack while I continued on the PLL grind was a cup of hot chocolate made with Silk Almond Milk and a couple Hershey's dark chocolate kisses. A perfect way to end a long and cold day snuggled up on the couch.
