Next holiday flavor crossed off my list

So... is it me, or does today feel like it should be Thursday? I've been feeling that way all day!

This morning I toasted 2 pieces of bread, smeared them with a little peanut butter and then covered them both with slices of banana. I love the taste of peanut butter and bananas together! You know what's even better than that? Bananas, peanut butter and chocolate mixed together!! No chocolate for me this month though... it's day 11 of my "no candy for the month of November challenge."

During morning break, I walked outside to the coffee cart for something warm to drink. While there, I checked out what other flavors they had available during the holiday season. If you remember last week I had a gingerbread latte, so today I ordered a tall nonfat peppermint mocha. I was asked if I would like whipped cream and I declined... it probably would have tasted great, but there was no need for the extra calories. I really enjoyed the flavor of this drink even without the whipped cream. I love peppermint anything!

Next month, I'm going to try to conquer my love of sweetened tea and coffee drinks. I do notice that my cravings for candy/chocolate have decreased a lot since last week so that makes me happy. Let's see how I feel a few days from now though, lol.

I ate a baked potato smothered with vegetables for lunch. Besides the salad bar, the potato was the only other healthy vegetarian choice in the cafeteria. I asked for the potato with no sour cream, so, of course, the lady put sour cream on it anyway. As soon as I got to the table, I scooped all of it off into a napkin and then threw it away. I don't know how she got No confused with Yes, but it's okay, I'll live. The potato was only so-so...

I came home starving, but still had to exercise before cooking dinner, wash 4 loads of laundry and empty the dishwasher, so this is what we ended up with tonight...

A Morningstar "chicken" patty on rye bread with romaine and veganaise, vegetarian baked beans and a pickle. It was quick, simple and hit the spot. I scarfed it all!

Exercise was good tonight. I did one of my favorite routines-- 1o sets of stairs from the beach up to the street followed by yoga (sun salutes, etc.) and push-ups. This workout gets me every time... the stairs really burned my behind!

Alright, I've got to go. It's time to decompress and relax for a while before bed.

G'night!
