Lunch, Bumble Review, Spaghetti Squash

Working from home is so great! I started my work day at 6 am! I got tons done and took a break around 10 to take Body Pump. The gym was filled with hot mamas! It was a totally different environment from the afternoon. These ladies were spunky and serious about their fitness! After a great workout, I came home and started back to work. For lunch, I had hummus with pretzels and carrots (I had a few more pretzels than what is shown here) and a chobani (blueberry is my FAVORITE!!).


Later in the afternoon, I gave the cherry chocolate bumble bar a try (based on Heather's advice):

I was a little nervous after yesterdays experience but can I say WOW! This flavor blew me away! You can really taste the cherries and chocolate (non-dairy)! It was WONDERFUL! I cannot wait to buy another one of these bars for Josh to try because I know he will love it.
Ingredients:Organic agave syrup, Organic sesame seeds, Organic cherries, Organic non-dairy chocolate*, Organic flax, Organic almonds, Organic coconut, Organic cocoa powder, Organic cherry flavor, Organic chocolate extract, Natural Vitamin E for freshness, Processing agents: Organic safflower and/or sunflower oil



After work, I had loads to do around the house. For din din, I made spaghetti squash. I topped it with spaghetti sauce and ground turkey.



On a side note, I won a contest last week from the Fit bottomed girls (they are AWESOME!!). Today I received my prize!! I cannot wait to try out this video!!




How was your Tuesday? Are you counting down the days until the weekend ;)?

    nice gym observation- my gym is very similar- the "hardcore" fitness peeps are there 7-12 am, 2-4...

    oh tuesday... it was good-class, acsm info, job application, and jeff plays hockey and i usually watch all my silly shows.

    I love that you ask about everyone's days- its so genuine!

    oh and great that you enjoyed the chocolate cherry- When I first got the samples, that was the first one I tried..http://runlmo1.blogspot.com/2008/12/bumble-bar-surprise.html

    I was going to send the rest to Heather... but she got her own sample!

    I enjoyed it as well but was hoping for a less sesame flavor... i never realized what a strong flavor that is!

    Sounds like a wonderful work day from home. I know you love those!

    I agree - the chocolate cherry Bumble Bar looked like the best one from Heather's reviews. Good to know you liked it so much. Definitely planning on buying one next Whole Foods trip.

    Spaghetti squash - one of my favorites. Love those things.

    Can't wait to hear all about your bootylicious workout! Happy Wednesday Erica!

    Hey cutie pie! Thanks for the Bumble Bar review!

    I'm loving your pretzels ... I love the really hard kind - they have more chew to them. Also, your dinner looks really great.

    Have a good one!

    How often do you work from home? Mainly because I have been thinking of a way to approach my boss about working from home 1-2 days a week. My job duties would allow that, but I just need to ask.

    Yeah for working from home! Luckily my hubby does too - considering he's been home bound from his knee surgery since December 27!

    Hopefully I can get him out this weekend!

    LOVE LOVE spaghetti squash - reminds me that I need to pick some up!
