Today I tried the soy yogurt I bought yesterday and I really liked it ( I bought Nancy’s plain)! It had a lighter taste than cow yogurt… it was sweet and not tart. I topped the yogurt with Ezekiel cereal, a banana, 1/2 tbsp udo oil, drizzle agave nectar (it really didn’t need this… it was already sweet) and cinnamon. It was delicious! I recommend trying soy yogurt even if you still consume dairy… it is actually pretty good! I’m still not sure I’m ready to forgo all dairy all the time but I will be switching to soy yogurt… cheese will be a lot harder to do without!

I had a small blood orange when I woke up (I always wake up starving!).

And of course my soy yogurt concoction.

Good morning blog readers! I hope your weekend is off to a great start! Sienna is being a bit of a diva this morning… very particular about what she wants! Its driving me crazy! Needless to say I made a quick breakfast of toast and yogurt (I’m going to try and not eat dairy for a while- I have to finish this tub of plain yogurt first though!). Today we will probably just be hanging around the house… I hope to get a workout in and go grocery shopping (which of course I love to do!). I’m going to look around for some vegan products since I am trying to reduce the amount of animal products I eat (dairy being the main one I am trying to avoid). I plan of taking some pictures of what we buy!

I used multi grain bread and topped it with almond butter and homemade raspberry-mango jam.

And plain low fat yogurt w/ flax and defrosted frozen blueberries.

I’m having issues with the pictures… I will try and get them posted if/when I fix the problem!

Last night I ended up just having a very simple meal of eggs on toast! I used 2 slices sprouted grain bread, 2 organic omega 3 eggs, 2 slices back bacon and a few button mushrooms. I had grape tomatoes on the side (I was severely lacking in veg!!).

As soon as Darren got home from work we went out and got me a polar F4 heart rate monitor! I’ve wanted one for a while but they cost $110 here! Darren gets a discount through his new job through several sporting goods stores so I got mine for $75! Still pricey but it’s worth it. I had plans to use it today during a morning workout but I woke up to late! The only time I can really work out is 6 in the morning and in order to do that I have to get up at 5 so that I can pump (my milk makers!) before I leave. We have a gym in our condo so I have no excuse expect that I really like sleep… haha. I plan to start actively going as of tomorrow (there is no way I can go today now). Yay for working out!

Now on to today! I promise to actually POST today- I’m just hanging out at home… all day long… its minus 20!

For breakfast I had cereal- 1/2 cup Ezekiel (a serving) and 1/2 cup Smart Bran by Natures Path with almond milk. I topped it with a small banana and gogi berries. It was full of fiber.. I probably have already met my daily needs!

Sorry I am only posting now- it has been a weird day. I really haven’t had any time to use the computer!

For breakfast I had the last of my pre made steel cut oats. I topped it with banana, flax, PB and a bit of maple syrup.

I had mango and Ezekiel cereal with almond milk for lunch! I know lame (no veggies!)- I had to leave soon to meet my mom at the mall and cereal is so easy (this stuff is sooo filling). I also had almost 2 servings so it has defiantly kept me full!

I also had a tall iced green tea from starbucks at the mall and some of my mom’s low-fat lemon poppy seed muffin. I didn’t have the camera so no photo( I wasn’t planning on getting anything but it was her treat)!

Blah, what a day. See you for Dinner!

I have just been so tired lately! I can never seem to get enough sleep. I have always needed my sleep but I can only seem to fit in around 7 hrs… I think I need more like 9! Sienna is also sleeping in this morning which is fine by me!! I wish she would do so more often. For breakfast I had steel cut oats again (pre made and microwaved with a bit of almond milk). Today I topped it with red pear + flax + walnuts + maple syrup. Wow it was gooood. I also had a cup of lemon green tea and I am sipping on another now (I’ve been inspired by Dr. Oz)!

Have a wonderful morning!
