Little Late
I’m a little late with my lunch post today, but better late than never! I purposely thought I had uploaded these pictures when I packed my lunch, but apparently not, unless WordPress gobbled them up? 
Highly unlikely, right?!
Anyway, more than half the work week is over… I am working a full day tomorrow, but only working a half day on Thursday, so the rest of the week should be a breeze… I can’t believe the 4th of July is on Friday and the ACS Bike A Thon is next Sunday – crazy how fast time has been going lately!
Lunch was delicious today… I had a craving for hummus so I made a hummus (tribe organic brand) & spinach sandwich on a ww english muffin… I am in desperate need of a veggie/fruit shopping trip, if you can’t tell! On the side I packed some pretzels and an apple… I’m loving the gala apples lately… they have been so juicy & sweet!
I had no idea what to pack for an afternoon snack so on my way out the door I just grabbed the bag of wasabi oriental mix that I had picked up from the produce store several weeks back… I was munching away while I worked this afternoon and little did I know I wound up eating half the bag… the entire bag is 6oz, so I’m guessing I ate about 3oz of the mix… I guess that’s why the experts say you should portion out a serving and not eat directly out of the container 
It was full of spicy yumminess though and I wound up plowing through a 32 oz water bottle in no time! However it did bother my tummy just a bit!
This isn’t the first time I had an incident with wasabi… *cue funny story*… The first time I went out for sushi, I thought that the pile of wasabi on my plate was a piece of avocado that had fallen out of my roll, so I picked it up with the chopsticks and inhaled it… I quickly realized it was wasabi when tears started rolling down my face and my nose was burning!!!!!
Dinner was on my own tonight, so I decided to whip up a bowl of Annie’s Mac ‘n Cheese and topped it with a pouch full of salmon (and topped with crushed red pepper & basil) as I have seen on the blog Every Gym’s Nightmare (except Kelly uses tuna)… This actually helped settle my stomach (coupled with the large amount of water I had drank)! The flavor was AWESOME… I now know why this combination is such a favorite
Then I was off to the gym to do spinning… I hate doing the same workout in a row, but since it’s spinning and it’s all different instructors who have their own routines and really all I am focused on is getting on a bike and training, I feel like it’s ok, given the circumstances! Class was ok… last night’s class was definitely better but it was still a good workout w/ over 400 cals burned…
Now it’s time to pack up my lunch for tomorrow, grab a snack (posted later) and hit the pillows!
TIme is flying by so quickly, it’s downright scary.
Mmm, hummus!! Love it.
Haha, gotta be careful with wasabi – that stuff is killer!
Enjoy the rest of your night!!
WASABI. Your first experience story is quite funny, but I feel bad for laughing at it because I bet it hurt your mouth and nose. I love the rice cracker wasabi mixes as well but I have a problem with them, as well as, with trail mix of not being able to stop snacking unless it’s portioned out.
Lol, that wasabi story is hilarious
That snack mix does look good though… as does your mac and cheese, I may have to make that for the kiddos (who firmly believe that the easter bunny delivers the boxes of Annies lol)
Have a great night!
wow, a foodie using my food ideas- i never thought i’d see the day!
oww that mix looks super sweet. Where’d you buy that? Brand name? details details!
VeggieGirl, Brittany, RLS ~ hehe glad you got a good laugh
I laughed too – after I cried 
Every Gym’s Nightmare ~ What can I say, you’re a genius for coming up with this yummy combo!
Erica ~ Sorry, no brand name :/ It was packaged at our local produce shop!
I totally feel you on the wasabi mix. I could easily eat the 6 oz bag- no problem. Your meals today look super delicious (esp the hummus and spin samme- my fave!). Hope you are getting excited for a long weekend!
Haha I totally know what you mean about plowing through bags of trail mix – I have to make sure I take mine out of the bag and put it in a bag/on my food, or else I know I’ll be going back for more
I LOVE making “tuna casserole” with mac and cheese, tuna, and frozen mixed veggies! Yum!! I actually planned on having that for dinner tonight!
