Hey guys! Happy Wednesday!
Do you ever have days where you just feel SUPER snacky? I’m having one today.
I started my day off right with some green lemonade:
Yum! Definitely gets the blood flowing!
After a leisurely breakfast, I wrote for about an hour and a half, and then Ryan and I headed to the gym. I had a good workout—half an hour on the elliptical, two miles on the treadmill, and then some weights here and there. I feel like we go to the gym less often these days, so when we go, I really like to get a lot of variety in.
Before we went to the gym, I snacked on half a Luna Protein bar, which I am convinced have crack in them. How are these so good?
When we got back, I fixed a snacky lunch:
Fage with wheatberries and nutless trail mix (sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and dried fruit); carrot sticks; and Ezekial cinnamon raisin bread squares with a big glob of almond butter for dipping. After lunch, I also finished the rest of my Luna bar for dessert…consider the snacking complete!
It was kind of random, but delicious!
Aren’t these chick and bunny plates cute? I picked them up at Target last weekend. 
And speaking of animals…remember when I mentioned the beautiful blown-glass carafe that my mom gave us for Valentine’s day? Here it is:
Isn’t it pretty? I love this etching:
My mom has good taste! And she supports my obsession with love of bird-ware!

I’ve really enjoyed reading everyone’s thoughts on the age/body issue thing. It seems like while most people agree that high school is one of the likeliest times that a girl will deal with that issue, worries about weight and appearance can really happen at any point in someone’s life. Thanks for chiming in, everyone!
This afternoon, we’re going to see Shutter Island!!! I’m so excited! I hope it’s good…and not TOO confusing!
See you tonight!

OMG the past couple of days have been super snacky for me! I think it happens more at a certain time of the month and especially if I’ve done weights that day. I love those dishes, so cute! Let us know how Shutter Island is. I really want to see it! Looks a tad scary though.

Shutter Island was good but a little disturbing!
I get the snack attacks too

First the “Thats what she said” comment, now an awesome wine carafe. Your mom knows what she’s doing.

Snacking days are almost every day for me. I don’t know why but I much prefer snacking throughout the day rather than eating bigger meals with only a few snacks.
Your Easter plates! I love them.
I’m already getting into the Easter mood too.. I love this holiday. Seriously, one of my faves.

I really like the Luna cookie dough protein bars. I just discovered them earlier this week.
