Hi friends! It’s Wednesday!
Are you excited for New Year’s Eve tomorrow? I am! Not that I’ll see midnight (I rarely do anymore!)
This morning’s post has to be a QUICK one. Thanks to some technical difficulties (you know me and my electric force field that seems to freak out all the stuff I use) I wasn’t able to get online to work on the post this morning as I usually do. Now I’m crunched for time! Can’t we add about 3 more hours of TIME to each day?
On the exercise front, our new Wii game arrived last night, “Just Dance” and I had a hilarious time trying to follow the dance to MC Hammer’s “Can’t Touch This” (I have video but it will take a lot of money to get me to post it!) 
This game is crazy fun. I love it. Next time I’ll have to wear my heart rate monitor to see how it fares as ‘exercise’. It FELT like I was working hard. Somehow in the video, my “hip hop dancing” looks more like a Jane Fonda aerobics video!!
Basic eats yesterday to be sure. Oatmeal in the morning with some raisins, coconut, raw honey and cinnamon:
Mid-morning I had two mandarin oranges. Lunch was another Black Bean burger with a side of leftover tomato soup from Chipotle… gotta love my dark and blurry iPhone pics at my desk!
That’s a “Veggie Slice” soy cheese on there along with some zucchini hummus, romaine, cucumber and roma tomato.
Dinner was odd, but fun. I took two Wasa crackers, smeared them with zucchini hummus, added pepitas, sun dried tomatoes, half of a small avocado, then covered the whole thing with spiralized zucchini. Mmmm. Funny looking, but GOOD!
Yes, Santa brought me a spiralizer! And I swore I took a picture of it, but I can’t find it so I’ll have to take another one. I’ve added this spiralizer to my FitFeat Faves Store, so you can take a gander at it there for now if you’d like. I used the medium blade on this one so that I ended up with zucchini ‘noodles’ the thickness of spaghetti! This is the best way to have fun eating your veggies! Thank you, Santa!! I’ll be talking a lot more about this fun tool in future posts.
My apologies for the Speedy Gonzales post but I have to head to work or I’ll be late! 
I still have to pack my lunch and I need to be on the road in 8 minutes! Have a WONDERFUL Wednesday friends! See you soon!

Hi Shari,
your oddly fun dinner looks great to me. Yum. Gotta look up your black bean recipe too.
We are asleep by the time the new year rolls around but thanks to our neighbors we are always wide awake for it at the stroke of midnight (and the next hour or so). They must save some fireworks from July! (sigh)
Happy New Year!

Hi Joan!
The black bean burger recipe now has a link in today’s post… I also emailed it to you. It’s copyrighted material so I can’t reprint it here.
We have “those” neighbors too (with the leftover fireworks) … we usually ‘celebrate’ by watching the ball drop on the east coast at 10:00 our time and then hit the hay. This year we are actually going to a friend’s house for dinner. Still don’t think I’ll see midnight though!

It’s almost a full moon…its probably why the magnetic force field is picking on you …HAHA
My dearest husband took a less than flattering pic of me doing dance dance revolution years ago and I have never stepped foot on that mat again! haha…but it is wicked fun for sure!
I am giggling at your dark and blurry pic of food at your desk( which looks like a face to me for some reason!) because I took blurry flip video camera pictures at my desk yesterday too. we use what we have I guess.
it works
I am DYING to get my hands on a spiralizer! it’s top of the list. a dehydrator and a heart rate monitor are tied for second. Love healthy Christmases.
Can’t wait for our shopping day.
Happy Wednesday and you HAVE to stay up till midnight tomorrow! (I am almost always up near midnight…I am a nigh owl I guess)
hugs to you!

Hi Cindy! Let me know how you like your dehydrator… I don’t know how much use I’d get out of one yet, but you may convince me to put it on my xmas list for NEXT year
I was just at Costco today and forgot to look to see if we still had them at ours!

interstingly enough I just saw a cooking show yesterday that used dehydrated vegies (carrots, zucc, toms) from summer to make winter soup and a magazine that used dehydrated fruit, soaked overnight to make smoothies the next day. one could dry fruit and vegies at summer prices for use in winter when they cost more to buy fresh! I wonder long it would take for the cost of the dehydrator to balance out with winter veggie prices?
