Good Afternoon! Today is flying by, right?! I am not arguing! Around 10:30, I felt a little hungry so I had a green apple.
I feel like this little guy has been in my fridge for ages. It was so crisp and juicy. Ah, fall is upon us!
Around 12:30 I broke for lunch. Lunch was a huge salad. I welcomed it with open arms, it has been about as week since I have had once of these big ol’ salads for lunch and this one had some different goodies it in!
Doesn’t it look so fall-like??? Ok, here is what it contained:
- Romaine
- tomatoes
- cucumbers
- red peppers
- goat cheese
- lemon hummus
- salsa
- edamame
- Melissa’s Baby Beets
- Melissa’s Lentils
I am telling you the beets made this salad. I put in 2 and a half beets and it added a nice new flavor to my same old salad. I love beets and these are so easy and convenient! No peeling, no streaming!!! They were awesome. I have a serving left…I will be sad when they are gone. I am buying some more asap for sure! If you like beets…these are a must!!!
The lentils were also a new addition also. To be honest, I didn’t really notice them. I think I didn’t put that much in and that is why. Don’t worry though I have a plan for these little guys for tonight 
Beety goodness!!!!
You may or may not have noticed the lack of meat in my diet for the last week or so. I am toying around with the idea of cutting out meat all together (but keeping sea food). I guess the only change would be getting rid of chicken and turkey, since I don’t eat red meat or pork to begin with. I am not sure if I am going to make the plunge or not, so you will notice the lack of meat for some time while I try to figure this out for myself.
Without Further Ado…I present the second week of:
Things Ali is excited about:
- Manicures that last a whole week (and them some)
- Pumpkin Spice Lattes

- A weekend with really no commitments!
- Having coffee with a few old co-workers next week
- Meeting Tina for Body Pump on Friday after work
