I was OBSESSED with Subway while in college. I’m pretty sure this was right around the time that Jared lost all his weight from eating subway sandwiches day and night. Coincidence? Probably not.
I haven’t done so well brining my lunch to work the past two days so Jess and I stepped out to enjoy the nice weather and grab a bite to eat. Veggie Delight to the rescue!
Did you know that whole $5 footlong is still around? I had no idea! I got every veggie you can possibly get piled on my sandwich and got excited that I would have leftover for lunch tomorrow. I’m a genius!
Jess and I figured while we were out and next door to BerryLine that we HAD to get some yogurt.
Original with blackberries and kiwi! That fruit is a-maz-ing!
Say hi to Jess…finally!
Isn’t she cute?! Jess hasn’t been feeling so well today so hopefully the yogurt helped. I’m sure seeing her photo on the blog will REALLY help out too. 
On the agenda for tonight:
-Spinning! I’m trying out my new shoes tonight!
-A new recipe!
Have a great afternoon!
Question of the day: Are you a tart yogurt fan? I can’t get enough!

It is so pretty outside today. Finally! I feel like it has been raining or sweltering heat for the past few weeks. I’m over it man. OVER IT.
But today! Today was beautiful. It was the kind of day where you eat lunch at a restaurant that has a patio. Good idea, huh? I thought so. I thought of that idea as I ate at my desk working. Not in the beautiful weather. Not on the patio.
At least the view was good! Lunch was half a burrito and a veggie salad with a little Israeli couscous.Mmm….
On a totally different topic, I have to share a new necklace that I got this weekend. I actually walked into a Forever 21. Lets be honest. Nobody is FOREVER 21. I’m 30 years old. I should have not been in this store. However, they have fun and funky jewelry that is cheap and perfect for buying for just a few outfits. My super responsible purchase this weekend was this beauty.
Who doesn’t need a big giant turtle necklace?! This baby is huge. I hit it on my desk every time I sit down. I tried to open a secure door with it instead of my work badge. It is cute but a weapon all at once.
I have exactly 0 outfits that go with a giant turtle necklace. That said…I’ve managed to wear it twice since Saturday. Turtles are fun!
Agenda for tonight? Zumba with my buddy, Karen! My fave instructor is teaching tonight and I’m READY to rumble!

One of my favorite things to do on a Sunday is get my lunches all together and ready for the week. It makes it so much easier to grab n’ go in the morning. Sometimes it works for me and sometimes it doesn’t, but I like the process in general.
Today I made a pit stop past Trader Joe’s and picked up some Israeli Couscous. I’ve had it plenty of times, but I’ve never actually made it. The texture is fluffy, a bit chewy and feels so much more filling than regular couscous.
I picked up some delicious looking tomatoes and cute little mini cucumbers at the store too. My little brain imagined a salsa-type, almost unblended gazpacho type topping for this couscous.
In the Mix:
-2 tomatoes
-2 mini cucumbers
-4 cloves of garlic
-1/2 jalapeño
-1/2 yellow pepper
-1/4 onion
-salt & pepper
-and a little sriracha.
I just chopped everything up and let it chill together as I cooked the couscous.
Before I packed it up for my lunches I wanted to make sure it was ok tasting. You know…quality control.
The box of couscous made 4 cups and the tomato mixture was 4 cups. I just dumped 1 cup of each into my 2 c. containers and I was good to go!
Notice there are only 3 containers, but my dish made 4 servings? I’m thinking my quality control got a little OUT of control this afternoon.
I also baked up some bbq tofu squares in case I wanted to add a slice or two on the top of my salad. Baked tofu makes me smile.
All set and ready for the week! One less thing for me to do each night.
Question of the day: Do you have any time saving tricks to get ready for the week?
