Good morning FitFeat Friends!
Hope you had a marvelous Halloween! From some of the blogs I’ve read this morning, sounds like it was a great holiday for many! My Halloween was happy indeed.
Started the day with a pumpkin-themed green smoothie which I thought would turn out a crazy brown color by adding the pumpkin puree, but luckily it was still green!
Then out to run a few errands, one of which included picking up this early Christmas present for our kitchen:
I’ve been making splashy messes all over the kitchen when washing greens, so when we got a $10 off coupon for Bed Bath & Beyond in the mail, it was time to make the purchase! I can’t wait to use it!
Next stops were my two favorite places: Starbucks and the library! I had a soy steamer with no flavoring and picked up my “Ani’s Raw Food Kitchen” which was on hold for me at the library.
Later, we decided to go see a movie. We hit up Whole Foods on the way to grab a portable lunch, sneakily stuffed it into my purse!
I ordered “The Hampden” which was roasted veggies, pesto and feta on a flatbread. Taking a picture with no flash in the theater does this…
After a brief outdoor stint where I soaked up some vitamin D for the day (yes, I chose outside over yoga) we actually went BACK to Whole Foods for dinner. We were going to go somewhere for takeout and I couldn’t make up my mind. All the online menus I looked at and nothing sounded ‘perfect’. So I asked MSP if we could just do the hot/cold bar at WF, where I could get a few things to please my tastebuds.
I chose the marinated Gigande Beans, a Quinoa Pilaf, and some sauteed veggies. And a Gingerberry BUBBLY!! mmmmm dinner was FAB!
We scanned through our Netflix on demand movies to find something Halloween-ish without being scary. (I’m not a fan of scary movies anyway, but after a particularly intense scary movie last Halloween that still has me crazy scared of the dark a year later, we have decided that it’s just best for me NOT to watch them. MSP does not like to have me underfoot and tripping him glued to him when it’s dark!) We decided on “Interview with the Vampire”. I’d never seen it all the way through when it was first released. And as it turns out, have STILL not seen it all the way through since I konked out about 2/3 into it. Yes, another night that I was unable to stay awake to see 9:00 p.m. 
And as I figured, this morning when my body thought it was 5:00 a.m. LIKE CLOCKWORK my eyes sprung open. Only thanks to the time change it was really 4:00 a.m.
I’ll probably do a face plant in my dinner tonight at like 6:15. If I even make it to dinner….!
Luckily I have a Broncos game to watch in about 30 minutes, so maybe I’ll catch a few winks during that snoozefest game!
