Last time I visited my grandmother she sent me home with this.
Yes, a Costco-sized container of chocolate covered raisins – one of my biggest candy weaknesses. I tucked them away in the back of a cabinet and where they stayed unopened for months. Well, I spotted them last weekend and thought I’d just have a handful. TROUBLE! You cannot have one handful of chocolate covered raisins. I am having a hard time keeping my hand out of the raisin jar! (Side note: has anyone tried the Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Covered Cranberries? Those are really trouble!) I’m a little embarrassed to admit that the only fruit I ate before noon today came in the form of raisins. Breakfast of champions? Not quite. 😉
Do you have a candy weakness? Usually I can avoid it but I am a sucker for chocolate covered raisins…and Reese’s Cups!
Sullie came to work with me this morning and was quite the ambassador of Metro Fitness Club. She had many people stop by to say hello and give her love.
Apparently, being in the office and looking cute is really hard work. It was nap time by 11 a.m.
We went home at 1 p.m. for lunch so that I could eat something other than chocolate. I made a tomato sandwich with basil mayo, avocado, spinach and goat gouda. Carrots with hummus and watermelon on the side.
I picked up an iced coffee on my way back to work because I never got my morning caffeine It was one of those mornings…the kind where your entire cup of coffee ends up all over your car instead of in your belly. On the bright side, my car smells like a coffee shop now and that’s kind of nice.
I finished up work and bolted out to run a super quick two mile run before heading to the Y to teach BodyPump. Class was awesome!
I was craving a big salad when I got home from class so I cooked a veggie burger and then served it over arugula blend, carrots, cucumbers, dried cranberries, avocado, pecans, goat cheese and tomatoes with homemade honey mustard. Hit the spot!
