Me In A Nutshell

Time is passing by. But I still feel like my life is in a nutshell – a la Austin Powers!! Too much going on at once!

Here’s today’s featured lunchbox

:mrgreen: this !

IMG_3070 (640x427)

A big ole salad

IMG_3071 (640x427)

Starring:

  • Baby spinach
  • Green pepper
  • Cuc
  • Red pepper
  • Avocado (about 1/2 of one!)
  • Sea salt
  • Honey

IMG_3072 (640x427)

Another one of those hungry ants!

IMG_3075 (640x427)

"Burries" as my Grandmother Kiehne calls them 🙂 She always has the best berries at her house!

IMG_3068 (640x427)

IMG_3069 (640x427)

Delicious Greekness. With some Hemp Plus granoler

IMG_3076 (640x427)

So fresh and so green.

IMG_3067 (640x427)

Unfortunately today is my Wednesday because I’m working Saturday. But hopefully it’s my last one I’ll have to work. 6.5 weeks to go and I’m off to the BEACH!

    Oh no, why do you have to work Sat again? Is that cos you were bakery-hunting this week? Oh well, everyone loves Humpday twice in a row I suppose….
    Ps – I got a ticket to the HLS – I can’t wait to meet everyone!!

    Boo for Saturday workdays, but your lunch looks so delicious! Very fresh, very clean! I don’t know if it would be better to do this over email, but I was wondering how hard all of the chemistry classes were for your RD requirements – I know you went into the program from the beginning, which is what I would have to do if I decided to go back and get my RD after I finish up my Consumer Journalism degree…but I’m terrible at science and math, so I was just wondering how rigorous it was for you.

      I agree with Sarah below – they were hard, but you will survive. Many programs will let you take some of the science at community college, which will likely be a bit easier. The chemistry was killer, but here I am 2.5 years later and I barely remember doing it! Time will fly.

    Ugh…hate working Saturdays! Hopefully this will be your last for a while though. 😀

    Your lunch looks amazing! 😀

    [email protected]—–I wasn’t a science/math kind of person either, so I can definitely relate to what you mean. 😉 Speaking from experience though, if going for an RD is something you’re passionate about, you’ll be 100% fine. It was tough for me and I spent a lot of hours studying chemistry, but I got through it. 😀

      Thanks for the tip! I think it’s just one of those things where you just have to take the plunge! You’re right, if I’m passionate, then it’ll all be worth it! I just can’t stop thinking about being an RD, and the more I read Kath’s blog, the more amazing it sounds!

    Hi Kath –
    I love looking at your blog for inspiration on healthy eating! I tried your basic oatmeal technique today and it produced the best oatmeal I’ve had yet!

    I also have a stash of your baked oatmeal snack bars in my freezer and they’re delicious and perfect for a mid-morning snack or before a workout!

    I think I prefer to add berries to my shakes. I like either the crunch of an apple or the squirt of a juicy orange or grapefruit on the side.
    Chobani-plain: That’s a favorite.

    We get to the beach next week. Can’t wait…S.C. here we come. YAY!

    hey kath,
    random question — but you don’t seem to be eating any carbs (bread, etc.) with lunch lately — does yogurt + salad really give you good energy? (it doesn’t always work for me, but i hate having carbs because then i hit an afternoon slump, so trying to find a good balance.)
