I also had some soy chips (8 or so?)
I had to attend a seminar at 12.30pm, and I didn't feel like having lunch at 11.45, so I packed a sandwich with homemade hummus, spinach, laughing cow light in Ezekiel. I also packed some cherry tomatoes and orange peppers. It was fun to have lunch with a lot of people (20 or so) in a seminar, when everyone is eating its own lunch and listening to the presenter. (who can really listen???)
back at home at 3.30 I had an apple and did some more work done.
Before leaving to my yoga session I had a bowl of yogurt+cottage cheese topped with 2 big tbsp of grounded almond to fill me up. The weather makes me feel so cold and I think I just need to eat more often to keep warm. Does it happen to you guys also? Or it's just me?
I had a really good 90 min yoga session, it wasn't as hard as it is usual, but as I wasn't feeling very energized either, so it was the appropriate workout for me today.
Back home at 8.30pm (early dinner strategy failed today), I just heated the black bean pumpkin polenta chili that I made last night which was inspired by Meg's recipe. I just add some sauteed onions and spinach to it. It was faboooooolous!!! I loved the spicy flavor, after finished it, I still felt my stomach warm. Thanks Meg for the recipe.
I also had half whole wheat bread from WF and two turkey meatball (I was craving some kind of meat)
Dessert was 1/2 cup of Fage with frozen strawberries topped with EnjoyLife granola. It was sooooooo good the strawberry, I might say it is better than blueberries. And Fage is so creamy, at certain point, I was confused whether I was having yogurt or cream. Fage+Strawberry=Perfection!
a closer look
Hope everyone had a good day and enjoy the rest of the evening!

i totally eat more in the winter and less in the summer. i think it definitely has to do with the shift in metabolism. Also, i just looove warming myself up with some hot soup or hot oatmeal or other warm treats! love how much veggies u ate at lunch today :)
Sometimes I eat less in the winter because I'm so cold I don't even want to move!
I love soy chips! What kind did you have?
i had creamy ranch. It's quite tasty! Give it a try.
Glad you liked the chili! Love the additions you made! Soy chips rock!!!
i've noticed that being cold makes me eat more, too! i read somewhere that your body burns twice as many calories when you are cold than when you're warm. that chili looks so delicious. i'm gonna try that out.
