Who Wants a Treat?!

March 10, 2009

Guess what?! My mom told me that the “somethings” I have planned for the upcoming blog anniversary arrived safely in glorious Arizona this afternoon :) I am so pumped!

In the meantime, there’s another goodie waiting at the bottom of this post! So go ahead and scroll down to the bottom read the rest of my post thoroughly.

Well ladies and gents, I am officially beat! I had my final marketing presentation on Ben & Jerry’s at class tonight. I think it went well, but one can never be too sure about these things! We ended up having pizza in class, so I will share what I ate up until that point with you!

dscn2553

Breakfast this morning was a so-good-you’d-think-it-was-bad-for-you bowl of whipped banana oatmeal. I think it was the extra ripe banana that made this bowl so sweet. I combined the usual 1/2 cup oats with 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup almond milk, 1/2 sliced banana and 1 tbsp. ground flax. Then I topped it with a Justin’s Almond Butter packet, which made it extra creamy and nutty.

[Breakfast Net Sugar: 1g (from almond butter)]

I spent the morning going absolutely insane with my econ paper. The actual content of the paper is done, but the appendices, figures and tables are driving me up the wall. It’s just me being a perfectionist, but I can’t wait for it to be out of my life :) I ended up visiting my professor in her office to make sure I was on the right track, then took the opportunity to head to the gym. I did 45 minutes on the elliptical and then came home and did P90X Core Synergistics.

I felt revitalized afterward, and definitely ready for lunch.

Another winner in my book! I scrambled up another 1 egg + 2 egg white combo (seriously, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the 1 whole egg makes such a difference!) with 1/4 of that huge cucumber ;) Glad you all enjoyed the “that’s what she said” joke with that one. At the same time, I toasted a La Tortilla Factory wrap with 2 oz. deli turkey. I put everything together on top of the wrap, but it was so voluminous that it wouldn’t close, so I just threw on some reduced-fat Mexican cheese, pepper and Goya Adobo and ate it with a fork. Yum!

dscn2563

I also had my first Coffee Cocoa of the day. You knew it was coming at some point, right?

dscn2570

[Lunch Net Sugar: 8g]

After eating this voluminous lunch, I literally sat on my bed for the rest of the day and cranked this paper out. Yeah, I do homework on my bed. I’ll save the desk chair for after graduation! I did get off my rear mid-afternoon for a snack. It was yet another winner.

dscn2572

Looking at this picture makes me want to eat it all over again! This was a Fuji apple topped with 3 tbsp. PB2 and cinnamon. Honestly, try it!

dscn2575

[Snack Net Sugar: 3g]

Then it was off to class. All the anxiety and preparation for my presentation really kicked my appetite into high gear, so I enjoyed my slices of Papa John’s cheese pizza very much :)

[Dinner Net Sugar: 6g]

Total Added Sugar: 18g

I just realized that it was a great day for the Subtracting Added Sugar challenge! It’s really becoming second nature to me, and I’m only 4 days in. There is very little planning required, and I think what’s been key for me is that I bought a whole bunch of produce last time I was at the grocery store. Knowing I need to use it up keeps me inspired to come up with ways to integrate more fruits and veggies into my meals, which inevitably ups the “sweetness” factor in a natural way. So add this to my list: buying the right foods at the grocery store is key. I’m sure most of you knew that one already, but I do have a tendency to grab packaged foods off the shelves because they “look interesting.” This new challenge is teaching me that there are better options at the front of the store.

Giveaway Time!!

You might have seen this giveaway on some awesome food blogs already (click on that link to see what the prize actually looks like!). Well, here’s another chance to win! The folks at Quaker have offered to give one lucky reader an “All Natural Gift Bag” that includes a robe and slippers made with organic, earth-friendly materials, plus a few boxes of their newest flavor of Quaker Simple Harvest Chewy Granola Bars – Trail Mix!

Enter to win by doing one or all of the following:

  • Leave a comment on this post telling me about your favorite Quaker product
  • Ask a question on my call for FAQ post, then come back here and tell me that you did
  • Link back to this contest on your own blog
  • No blog? Send an email to eatingbender@gmail.com with subject, “Quaker Trackback”

The contest will run until Friday, March 13 at 13:00 CST (aka 1:00). I figure I can end somebody’s fear of “Friday the 13th” by picking a lucky winner on an unlucky day :) CLEVER.

GOOD LUCK!!

Countdown to Arizona: 1.5 days!

Wishing you sunshine on a cloudy day,

    Don’t you love to smear p.b./a.b. on the top of oats like icing? My fave method. I don’t know what it is lately, but whenever I see deli meat I want it! I should think about that…

    I’ve written a paper or two on my bed as well! I think living in a dorm fresh and soph years taught me how to do h.w. on my bed. I’m so happy for you that you only have 1.5 days! You sooo deserve the break!

    Mmmm Quaker! My favorite thing lately has been the True Delights in the banana macadamia coconut. So amazing I think it’s dessert!

    I can’t help it – old fashioned!! I live in Korea and it’s so hard to get it so I actually have my mom SHIP IT OVER to me on a regular basis. If that’s not love and commitment to a product, I don’t know what is.

    Isn’t Justin’s the best? I really need to re-order some soon–I used up a few packets on my recent trip to DC.

    La Tortilla Factory should hire you–you are the queen of LTF creations. They always look fantastic!

    My favorite, by far, are the chocolate drizzle mini delights! As for their “regular” oatmeal, though, my favorite is the Maple and Brown Sugar Weight Control instant oats. I haven’t really experimented much with the oats that take longer to cook, though I plan to start experimenting soon!

    Plain ‘ole Quaker Oats.

  25. March 11, 2009 12:56 am

    fav. quaker product: definitely its old fashion oats! :D

  29. March 11, 2009 4:15 am

    Jenn,
    What a fun giveaway – I want that robe! I’ll totally send you some link love on my next post!

    Wow, so glad the no added sugar challenge is going well,and way to stock up on the fresh veggies and produce! I bet the apple with PB2 was an amazing salty/sweet combo. I should try it, but I’m hoarding the last of my PB2…for what, I don’t know, but I’m so sad it’s almost gone. In sticking with my goal of no online nut butter orders, this may be my last jar for a while. :(

    I ate your salmon salad for dinner last night, but used canned wild Alaskan salmon from Costco. Why is Bone Suckin Sauce so amazing?!?

    Glad your presentation went well, and only 1.5 days?!? You’re so close my friend!

  59. March 11, 2009 7:47 am

    That wrap looks awesome! I will have to try it, im always trying to think of new ideas for wraps.

    My fave quaker oats product would have to be just their quick cook oats. I eat them almost everyday and my pantry is always stocked!

  60. March 11, 2009 7:48 am

    Fave Quaker Product: Their old-fashioned oats…so nice and chewy…I think I like them better than steel cut oats!

    The Question I asked on the FAQ: How do you motivate yourself to workout when you’re feeling particularly tired, cranky, or otherwise not in the mood to workout?

    I always(ALWAYS!) put too much in my wrap and can’t close it up. I also did a business project on B&J but when you’re in VT it’s easy to go to their headquarters and dig up info(it’s super cool they have a slide in their office that goes from the 2nd to first floor) and they give all the visitors free ice cream!
