another first

by Sarah Zinkel on August 8, 2012

this is my first daily meals post since moving to the house!

[not a big deal, but still fun for me to think about…]

yesterday, i eased into my morning with some blogging and email at my desk at home…

coffee while blogging

coffee was necessary!

i went back for more coffee with my breakfast – plain 2% chobani with a drizzle of agave and some very cherry berry blend.

[i spy the broken plow…!]

i also took my huge handful of vitamins.

after breakfast, i headed into lab to get some work done there. i broke for lunch and ate this trader joe’s indian fare meal that i tossed in my purse since we’re low on food right now – i’m going grocery shopping today!

trader joe's indian fare - madras lentils

my favorite of all of the indian fare choices at trader joe’s is this one – madras lentils – followed by the punjab eggplant (i think that’s what it’s called…!).

after lots of work/emails/a seminar, i headed home and inhaled this snack as soon as i walked in the door.

random snack - ham slices and mini pickles

two slices of deli meat ham and a bunch of mini pickles. yes, it was a random snack, but it worked and was one of my only options in our fridge.

dinner was these amazing, awesome, loaded nachos.

the base was trader joe’s black bean & flax chips. then i added sloppy joe meat, black olives, red bell pepper, tomato, red onion, and cheese! i also drizzled on some salsa and a bit of sour cream after this photo.

i watched the olympics while i ate. eep! women’s gymnastics always has me on the edge of my seat and last night was no different! i won’t mention any spoilers, but oh man, i was crossing my fingers during the balance beam results!

i had a dark chocolate adora disc for dessert.

these things are delicious! i tried them for the first time at the fitness & health bloggers conference, and i just received a bag to review (look for a giveaway soon!). i’m hooked.

i guess i was thirsty after dinner, because in addition to drinking almost 40 ounces of water, i had a lemongrass ginger kombucha…

and some tea!

and then i had to pee every 30 minutes for the rest of the night.

ughhhh….. what was i thinking?!

anyway, now that i’m getting back into a routine after being so thrown off by the move and house stuff for the past couple weeks, i’m back on the what i ate wednesday train!

thanks to jenn, for hosting this link party every week!

…………………………

i’ve got a whole to-do list of randomness today! i’m kind of excited, though. there’s a good variety of tasks to keep my interest.

those are my favorite kind of lists!

…………………………

have you tried adora chocolates before?

if not, i highly recommend you get on that!

what are your favorite kind of items to check off of your to-do list?

lately, anything house-related is really fun for me! other than that, i like smaller tasks, even if they’re intense or difficult, over long drawn-out things… i think i’m an instant gratification kind of person….
