Happy July!!!!
Can’t believe it’s already here… There is so much going on over the next few months (my birthday, vaca, parties, get-togethers, HLS!!!), I’m sure they are going to fly by! Psst… don’t forget to comment on the PB2 giveaway by Sunday!
The first day of every month my firm brings in a “Birthday Breakfast” to celebrate all the employees whose birthdays fall in that month. The spread always consists of fruits and a variety of carblicious goodies to tempt me:
I really wanted to toast up one of those bagels and smear it in cream cheese and hot sauce (if you haven’t tried it and you like hot food, TRY IT NOW). Something about baked goods and breads make my mouth water…. I wish I could get past it, but my body is head over heals in love with these unhealthy treats!!! Darn you, carb tooth!
Since my birthday falls in this particular month, I allowed myself a tiny sliver of a blueberry muffin. Ridiculous. I just picked up some Bob’s Red Mill low-carb baking mix, so maybe I’ll try and make some healthified baked goods this weekend 🙂
Breakfast #1
For breakfast today, I had the leftover Canadian Bacon Eggins I made earlier in the week.
Just as tasty the second time around 🙂
Stats: 147 calories, 6g carbs, 1g fat, 26g protein, 0g fiber
Breakfast #2
For breakfast #2, I had 1.5 cups Trader Joe’s Vanilla greek yogurt with 1/4 cup blueberries.
I love all the fresh fruits and berries this time of year! Cannot get enough.
Stats: 171 calories, 28g carbs, 0g fat, 14g protein, 1g fiber
Lunch
My sandwich yesterday was so frickin delicious, I decided to make a similar one today. I took a 3.5 ounce chicken breast, 1 cup spinach, 1 tbsp Trader Joe’s Spicy Hummus, tomato, and onion and smashed it into a Joseph’s Low Carb Pita.
Also had some sliced up red pepper on the side. I looovvveeeeee hummuss…. mmmmm…..

Snack
I tried the Trader Joe’s Mocha yogurt, but was NOT a fan.
It had a weird tartness about it… and overall was just different than I was expecting. First thing I’ve purchased from TJ’s that I didn’t enjoy!

Ahhhh, the workplace "breakfast buffets"! They're always SO tempting (and yours surely looks like it does not disappoint). I'm glad you allowed yourself to at least enjoy a little bit - especially since your birthday was included!! :)
TJ's also fails miserably at sushi, blech. But otherwise, I have nothing but love for them.
