Busy, Busy
Today has been such a busy day. I spent the morning working on my book, then headed to NuVal for a few hours, then had a quick interview about coffee for a women’s magazine, and then I had a conference call with Open Sky. Busy, busy! I’m happy to be home, lounging in my sweats now.
Breakfast
I didn’t snap a photo of breakfast this morning. I thought about it, but I was moving right along with my writing, so I skipped it and got back to work. I ate the same ol’ oats + banana + Barney Butter combo.
Here’s a photo from last December that pretty much sums up breakfast today.
Lunch
I munched on lunch at my desk today. I had a container of Oikos with a package of Yogi Granola Crisps mixed in.
Loved the Granola Crisps! Delish!
When I got home, I snacked on a pear before taking Murphy for a walk. He patiently waited while I munched away.
Dinner
My lunch was pretty small today, so I dug into dinner early. I had leftovers of the Easy Greek Casserole that I made on Tuesday night. (I’m pretty sure I’ll end up eating a snack later tonight.)
It was so good reheated! Much better than expected. I ended up going back for seconds. 
If you’re curious how this recipe scores on the NuVal scale, be sure to check out my recent post on Trading Up Downtown.
Twas the Night Before Fitness
I love this holiday poem from Health: Twas the Night Before Fitness. There’s a Carrots ‘N’ Cake mention!

Murphy looks so jealous of your pear.

Getting a new ride is soooo exciting!!
Heather @ The Joyful Kitchen — December 17, 2009 @ 7:33 pm
That’s great about getting a new car! I’m really excited about the book, too, what an amazing opportunity
Abby — December 17, 2009 @ 7:38 pm
Oh no! That stinks about the Jeep! But new cars are so much fun! My husband’s Jeep has over 275,000 miles on it…and the mechanics said it’s in perfect condition. I don’t think we’ll be getting a new car anytime soon
Kara M. — December 17, 2009 @ 7:40 pm
Hope the writing is going better…Those granola crisps look yummy, I gotta try some!
RunToTheFinish — December 17, 2009 @ 8:04 pm
so funny when you start praying for things to break to give you a reason to buy something new
Scorpio Woman — December 17, 2009 @ 8:23 pm
It’s funny to see you and Mal reaction about the jeep and the new car. LOL
Whitney — December 17, 2009 @ 8:33 pm
Did you like the granola crisps? I am skeptical of them. I can’t wait to make your greek casserole. I am greek and I love greek flavors!
Ameena — December 17, 2009 @ 8:38 pm
The Yogi crisps look delicious!
Lindsay C — December 17, 2009 @ 9:04 pm
Your greek casserole looks delish… also i am sorry to hear about the jeep, i hope you are able to get a NEW car you LOVE!!
Lynn (The Actors Diet) — December 17, 2009 @ 9:30 pm
sorry about your car?! or not?!
Emily GG — December 17, 2009 @ 9:46 pm
Have you been able to locate the Yogi Granola Crisps Mountain Blueberry Flax in Boston…I got a free sample and fell in love but I can not find them anywhere!
Tina — December 17, 2009 @ 9:49 pm
@Emily GG: Mine was a free sample too!
Erin — December 17, 2009 @ 10:02 pm
New car? How exciting!
Hillary @ Nutrition Nut on the Run — December 17, 2009 @ 11:23 pm
I think your pug wants your pear =)
Thank you for all your hard work on the 12 (24? haha) Days of Giveaways – it’s been fun!
Carolyn — December 17, 2009 @ 11:56 pm
I don’t think we’re ever gonna get a new car. My husband is good with cars so we’ll probably always have old ones. I’m all for no car payment though.
Tiffany — December 18, 2009 @ 10:08 am
I had to laugh when I saw your blog post. I am having Choibani Greek Yogurt and Yogi cereal (blueberry) for breakfast today. Love the new Yogi cereal!
Jenna — December 18, 2009 @ 4:15 pm
those crips look great on the yogurt!
Emily GG — December 19, 2009 @ 9:27 am
@ Tina If I find any in Boston I will let you know!! They are so good.
Emily GG — January 16, 2010 @ 9:27 pm
I found the Yogi Granola Crisps in Strawberry at the Target in Watertown near the Arsenal Mall.
