I tell you what, I am about iPad-ed out.  And the dang thing has only been revealed for a day!

Breakfast:  Nutella sammy with a hard boiled egg and a greek yogurt.

Peekaboo, nutella, I see you!

Mid-morning I snacked on a braeburn.

Lunch was leftover rigatoni with tomato sauce that I made for S’s dinner last night.  And some baby carrots.

And lots of cheeeeeeeeeese.

Mid-afternoon I got on my treadmill to watch Oprah.  No running today, I just walked 3 miles and varied the incline.  I like how I have been making so much good use of my treadmill lately.  For a while I didn’t use it.  I guess that’s because it was summer and SO HOT in my house.

I was very excited to see that Michael Pollan was on Oprah!

I am ashamed to say that I haven’t fully read any of his books.  I have read about them in many places, and have looked through them at Barnes and Noble, but have yet to read one cover-to-cover.  Well, I promise you that is going to change!  I just have too many books to read, and not enough time to read them in!  But his book(s) are next on my list. 

Has anyone read them?  Do you have a suggestion of which one I should start with first? 

I don’t think that I could ever be a vegan or a vegetarian.  I do eat a lot of veggies, but I am a girl who loves her meat.  The thing I like about Michael Pollan, however, is that he’s not anti-meat, but rather he is pro-REAL FOOD and not what he calls “edible foodlike substances”. 

Overall, I think that I eat pretty healthily.  However, I do eat too much processed food and too much sugar.  Even things that I think are real foods, like the chicken breasts I eat regularly, I can improve on by buying grass-fed rather than just the regular corn-fed option.  I have to admit, I have a tough time forking up the extra money to pay for grass-fed or other sustainable food options sometimes when I see the cheaper versions that look almost exactly the same right next to them.  But the more I hear about it, the more I realize that we have to change what we are putting into our bodies.  I’m going to try to do it a little bit at a time.  Baby steps.

Dinner was good to put in my body.  I had a Hugh Jass with romaine, broccoli, carrots, onions, chicken breast, ham, mozzarella cheese, egg whites and flax seed crackers.  With olive oil and vinegar, of course.

Oooh, and check out what I got today!  A Camelbak Better Bottle!

BPA free, and pink of course.  I have been wanting one of these for a long time and am very excited about it!

After dinner, I had some Swiss white chocolate with white chocolate mousse filling.

So good.  I also had a handful (or two) of jelly beans, followed by an ice cream sandwich.

I have literally been having three desserts every night.  This has GOT to stop. 

Now I am finishing up some work and headed to bed.  I barely watched any TV today, besides Oprah and that doesn’t count, because I was on the treadmill
