I had one of those days at work today. It was nothing that I couldn’t handle, but it was busy, busy, busy from the time I arrived this morning right until I left to head home. Holy moly! 
Needless to say, I wasn’t able to fit in a lunch post this afternoon… but, better late that never, right? 
Lunch
For lunch, I started with a homemade salad. This one was packed with all sorts of veggies: arugula, spinach, tomatoes, red and green peppers, cucumbers, yellow onions, mushrooms, grilled squash and zucchini. I love salads like this! 
Lunch also included leftover Croque Monsieur. I only ate half of my ridiculously cheesy sandwich last night, so I saved half for today’s lunch. It was just as delicious today!
My sweet treat after lunch was 2 chocolate-peanut butter chip cookies. They were so soft and chewy!
Mid-afternoon, I snacked on a Figtastic Bar from Lydia’s Organics, which was, well, fig-tastic! I especially liked the crunchy seeds throughout and the subtle sweetness from the dates and agave nectar. Overall, it was an excellent bar!
I Love Yelp
The nice people at Yelp recently emailed a link to their gala event photos, so I snagged this photo of Mal and me on the red carpet. I’m standing a little funny, but I still think it’s a cute photo of us! 
Monday Night: Dinner, Exercise, Relax
I have no clue what’s for dinner tonight, but I am leaning toward a fruit and yogurt smoothie. I can’t seem to eat “real” food when it’s so hot and humid outside. I sort of lose my appetite, I guess? Does this happen to anyone else?
I’m also planning to fit in a workout. I’m on the fence about what to do, but I will definitely be listening to my newest 80′s playlist from Sonic Tap. I love my 80′s music!
How was your Monday?

MMMM salads with loads of veggies are my favorite, especially fresh veggies!
I totally love the picture of you and Mal, your dress is beautiful! Its from the Gap right?
hope dinner works itself out tonight. i get like that all the time where if its just sooo hott outside, my appetite just leaves, sometimes all you want is a nice cold smoothie or a slushie or something!
when it’s hot and humid out i’ve been known to eat pinkberry for dinner…
My Monday sucked! Remember that “crying at work” question you posed a while back? Today was one of those days… Oh well. Four days till the weekend!
Totally understand- sometimes Mondays are like that!
Beautiful lunch! And, what a cute photo!
the figtastic bar sounds divine! that’s such a cute photo of you gys!
Aww – great pic of you and Mal! Framer, for sure
My Monday was insanely busy as well – there are just not enough hours in the workday to get everything done, which leads me to working during lunch = not good
Sometimes I have to physcially force myself to walk away from my desk and get out to walk around during lunch. It’s hard to step away from a pile of work, but it’s worth it!
That’s a great pic of the two of you!
My Monday was also crazy but the rest of the week should be quite so I can’t complain!
Sorry your day was so hectic! Don’t you hate when you feel like you don’t have a chance to breathe?
Hope you have a relaxing night!
I have been the same way lately with dinner; I have been making Green Monsters almost every night =)
Smoothie for dinner sounds good, especially when hot! You should have a dance party for exercise, especially with that music!!!
My Monday kind of flew by but it still wasn’t fun… I’ve been on edge all day since tomorrow is my “interview” at my job. Bleh, I’m sure I’ll be a wreck tomorrow!
Very cute picture!!
HOORAY FOR LYDIA’S!!!!!
I’m sorry today wasn’t that great. I hope the rest of your week is better.
Those cookies look YUMMY!
I hate having “those” days at work, especially on a Monday. I hope the rest of your week is better!
I definitely lose my appetite in the heat; I barely eat all day but my hunger always returns when the sun goes down!
I must say that down here in VA we get our fair share of hot/humid weather (uhhh hello frizzy hair days ha!) and I totally agree with you about craving only cold/light food items…. so true. Seems as though the body just craves that when it’s compensating for the heat outside! No-bake cookies look dee-lish btw
When it’s hot and humid out I want light dinners, like salads with chicken
YUM!
Aw, Yelp hearts you too! Great pic of you guys at the Red Carpet Gala!
Glad your busy day is over. Great picture! I’ve definitely felt like nothing but smoothies or cold cereal on hot and humid days. But we’ve had a break in our temps, with highs in the 70′s and lows in the 50′s so I’m confused, haha.
mmm that breakfast looks delicious! I love big breakfasts. Great pic of you and Mal
That is a cute photo!!!
