Convenient

Hi, My name is Kristin and I'm addicted to Natural Foods on Bellvue.

I couldn't resist... on my way home from dropping off my employment packet at the Yacht club, and I took the turn. I love Natural Foods! I can tell I'll be frequenting it this summer for sure. Today I picked up a fun new Stonyfield farm's organic yogurt, a favorite bar and an afternoon snack. At least I didn't spend too much!

I'm trying not to spend too much on food this week, after all I did eat out twice yesterday!

Dinner was amazing, as usual. We had El Fuego, and I got the usual- Veggie burrito! Chock full of beans, mexican rice, onions, zucchini, peppers and cheese... it was soo good! I devoured the whole thing, naturally.

Plus some chips, home made salsa and lite sour cream.

For dessert, I peeled and chopped a perfectly ripe mango, and shared this big bowl with the boy.


Today was a long one- and it's definitely still not over! I worked from 8-3, and I do NOT feel bad about not going to the gym this weekend, because I spent an hour scrubbing the back room door! I'm pretty sure I worked up a sweat.

Before I left I had a big granola bowl with 3/4 cup Nature's Promise Flax Plus granola, a 0% chobani and a sliced banana.

For food for the day, I packed the other half of my Subway sammie (turkey, ham and provolone on 7 grain honey oat with honey mustard and the works) and some grapes for lunch, and a clif bar I split between morning and afternoon. I'm also snacking on a honey crisp apple as I write.


After a quick trip to Newport (I seriously LOVE the 25 minute commute! There's so many places I HATE driving to, Newport is not one of them, the bridges are so calming to me!) and of course a trip to Natural Foods, I headed to the parent's house where I'm doing some school work and packing my bags for the week, before I head back to Nick's to make dinner. It's a dinner he requested, but I found a healthier version of, and am SO excited to make! It's quick too!


I hope you're all enjoying your weekends, I'm trying to keep a smile on my face because it's warm out, even though I'm busy as ever!!
