Fiber Overload

Lunch today was eaten very early, I’ll explain why later in my post tonight ;) Which by the way, my post for this afternoon + dinner, I can already tell you will be probably around 8′ish due to the crazy night planned between gym, dinner, errands, & schoolwork!

I really felt like I was going to pass out from hunger (ok I’m being a bit meladramatic) at around 11:30, so I decided to go ahead and eat my lunch… I had a mini wheat bagel w/ pb & jelly… I definitely was craving that combo, so it was even more delicious… I was a little aggravated when making this sandwich, simply because it was a new container of peanut butter + my arms were weak from lifting weights = very hard to stir & get a good consistency (which explains the liquid appearance)… I also had a Dannon Light ‘n Fit Blueberry yogurt w/ about a 3/4ths a cup of Fiber One mixed in… For some reason, if I eat yogurt plain, I am still starving, but when I mix it with something high in fiber, I am stuffed afterwards, and today is no different…

I’m hoping this keeps me full for a while!  Enjoy this gorgeous Earth day!  Although I can’t participate in any of the wonderful activities going on today, it made me smile to see people outside volunteering to pick up trash from open space areas & roads!

    Oh goodness, I see the crunchiness of your peanut butter and it makes me sad. We have a big jar of smooth my roomie bought and it’s just not as good, no sir.

    Can’t wait to find out why you had to eat lunch so early – I’m intrigued! :0)

    Looks like a great, easy lunch – gotta love PBJ bagels!
