What a weekend!

Sorry for the lack of substantial posting this weekend. It absolutely flew by with not much time for bloggity blogging.

I feel like I need to do a recap of some of the fahhhbulous food I’ve had over the last couple of days.

Friday night’s dinner was definitely blog-worthy. Mixed greens topped with cucumber, red pepper, fig goat cheese, toasted pecans, apple slices and pomegranate/orange marinated pork tenderloin.

Saturday morning started out with me losing my breakfast cookie virginity. To quote the Fitnessista herself, it was definitely a “foodgasm”.

1/2 cup oats, peanut butter, chocolate protein powder, mashed banana, pumpkin seeds and raisins.

  After surviving a crazy sweaty Body Combat class, I returned home and prepared an amazing lunch.

Peanut butter and banana, sliced apple, pumpkin dip and Cinnamon Rice Works chippies. YUM.

Andrew and I finally got on the bandwagon and saw Avatar last night. I must admit, I was a little apprehensive going in as its not really my kind of movie. I left pleasantly surprised. The story line wasn’t anything spectacular; in my opinion it was a combination of Dances with the Wolves and Pocahontas. But the effects were incredible and totally made the movie! Dare I say I actually loved it?

This morning I decided to test the holding power of the breakfast cookie as fuel for a long run. I made the pretty much the exact same version as I did Saturday morning.

It held me over perfectly for a 10k LSD. My buddy Crystallina and I had a great run. It was a little chilly as I swear the wind was in our face the entire run. There was a brief moment I wanted to kill her for leading us up a haaaa-uge hill… but I decided it would be a long run back to her house without her. Hills are our friends right?

Breakfast #2 was eaten while reading in the bathtub to warm up post run.

Pita One is jauuuum and a light hot chocolate with frothed milk.

Andrew and I spent the rest of our Sunday doing errands, and taking our pootch to doggie paradise.

I whipped up a pretty friggin awesome dinner tonight.

His and hers pizza.

Hers: Homemade pizza crust from Eat, Shrink and Be Merry. Topped with alfredo sauce, spinach, cooked chicken, broccoli, mushrooms and skim mozzarella.

His: Store bought crust, pizza sauce, bacon, green pepper and mushrooms.

I looove the crust recipe from ESBM. Today I didn’t have any flax seed/meal that the recipe calls for so I subbed with Chia seeds for some extra nutrition. It didn’t effect the recipe at all.

Served with a simple salad – mixed greens, cucumber, red pepper, fig goat cheese and tossed with fig balsamic dressing.

Desert was simple, healthy and tasty – Cantaloupe.

Gotta jet… My boyfriend  Jack Bauer is on in just 6 minutes. I’ve been waiting for this day for almost a year.  I heart Jack!

Maybe even more than I heart Paul Plakas….
