new look!

i had a little bit of fun yesterday afternoon doing something i’ve been meaning to do for a while now – i updated my blog look! not much has changed with the design, but i made a new header and changed up the colors.

i loved my old header/color scheme, but the more i thought about it, the less i felt like it fit with my blog. i needed some more saturated and bold colors!

to refresh your memory, this was my blog header & colors until yesteday…

and now…

what do you think?!

moving on from blog design talk….

it’s what i ate wednesday!

thanks go out to jenn, as always, for hosting this link party!

i started out my day so well with taking photos of my food, and then i totally dropped off by the end of the day. here is my incomplete documentation of what i ate yesterday!

first up?

coffee of course. i had this mug x 3 or 4 throughout the morning. i had to take jake to the vet for some vaccinations, so i was working at home all morning, which means i had way too easy access to the coffee maker!

after a bit of work and some time to let my stomach start to grumble, i had an apple with the last of my nutty butter (seriously, it’s tragic – how did we go through it so quickly?!?!).

apples and peanut butter are my new breakfast favorite.

and then a couple minutes later, my huge handful of supplements!

i laugh at this photo – that’s a lot of pills, huh?

[i also cringe when i look at this picture – lotion anyone?!]

imagine me working for a few hours, and then coming up for air to find myself so hungry that i run downstairs to the kitchen leaving my camera up in the office eating my dust.

haha, ok, not that dramatic, but i did forget to take pictures of my lunch.

it was a hodge podge of roasted sweet potatoes with ketchup, cottage cheese, and two hard boiled eggs.

then i worked some more, with a break to drink some greens.

yum. i am still loving this brand of greens – we were out, so i re-stocked last night and enjoyed it in my new purple blender bottle!

dinner was delicious, but did not photograph well since it was way past dark when we ate.

i mixed together little salads for each of us to start with.

they had mixed greens, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, carrots, radishes, and some cheese!

we also each had a 3 oz salmon filet, but the pictures were way too ugly to post on the blog – sorry! imagine salmon baked with lemon juice and lemon pepper.

then i had a little lucy’s chocolate chip cookie for dessert.

i got these as an impulse buy last week, and finally decided to try them.

and yes, i didn’t even think about it when i picked them up, but they’re clearly not grain-free. so i had a cheat for dessert – oops.

i collapsed into bed soon after dinner, but first we had some laughs at jake. capone was chewing on a bone (jake had one too, but finished it way before capone did) and jake was so focused on staring capone and his bone down.

it was so funny, especially for my little a.d.d. puppy who doesn’t pay attention to any one thing for more than a few minutes at a time!

now i’m off for a full day of work. woop woop.

enjoy your wednesday!
