Trick or Treat

        Today was the perfect catch up day! I started off meeting my best friend for an hour hike. It was perfect and exactly 

the fresh air I was craving. 

The hike ended around 11 and I was starving so before I headed to the gym I had a lara bar. These are my favorite and the healthiest option for a quick snack bar. They are made with all whole foods and so good. 

I headed to the gym to get in a half hour weights session. After the gym on the way to Trader Joe’s I had an apple in the car.

 I stocked up on lots of fruit and vegetables at Trader Joe’s and on my way home I snacked on this fruit leather. 

Lunch was all over the place today because I was out doing errands and didn’t have time to sit and eat my meal all at once. When I got home and put all my groceries away I had a smoothie for lunch. I needed to get in some greens and I was craving a smoothie. The smoothie had rice milk (not my favorite at all but I need to use it up), frozen berries, 1 banana and and two big handfuls of a baby greens blend of swiss chard, kale and spinach. 

For dinner I decided that before I went out for some Halloween fun I needed a big salad to fill me up to keep me from eating a bunch of treats. My salad was huge and the perfect meal it was exactly what I was craving. It was filled with lettuce, spinach, red pepper, carrots, goat cheese, salami (organic), walnuts and chickpeas. A total super food salad that filled me up.  

I always make nutrition goals for myself and my recent goal was to get more green leafy vegetables in. I had a great start today. I’m pretty good at saying no to foods that I know are bad for me because I know how they make me feel afterwards. Sure they taste good in the moment but the more vegetables and fruits I eat the more my body craves them. I got some dark chocolate with some super foods mixed in (gogi berries, and maca) that I plan on having tonight for a Halloween treat! I hope everyone has a safe night celebrating Halloween!
