Raccoon Eyes

Spinning this morning owned me.

Maybe it was due to the lack of sleep or the several drinks I consumed last night, but today's 45 minute class was way more physically challenging than I'm used to. As usual, though, I felt like a million bucks afterwards- a good cardio session always leaves me feeling amazing! I wish I could say the same about my appearance, but I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror before leaving and looked like I was channeling Taylor Momsen.


Cute, right? That'll teach me to take off last night's mascara before sweating profusely...

Lunch included some of last night's leftover vegan alfredo pasta, as well as a pita and carrot sticks in a simple dipping sauce.


To create the sauce, I simply combined about a quarter cup of jarred tomato marinara with about two tablespoons of hummus and a handful of baby spinach. I heated everything in the microwave for a minute on high, and voila- a creamy, flavorful dip that was especially tasty with the whole-wheat pita slices.


I also had some apple slices and a sliver of banana bread to curb my sweet tooth.


Somehow my apartment has gotten incredibly messy in the past few days....carb crumbs and long blond hairs everywhere. How does that always seem to happen? It must be the gremlins again. Cleaning is the first thing on the agenda for this afternoon! Have a good one :)

What has been the highlight of your weekend thus far? Mine was definitely last night's dance party!
