Afternoon y’all! How’s it hangin’?
So this morning I became ravenously hungry, which isn’t something that normally happens when I have oats in some form or fashion for breakfast…weird, I know. I walked to the kitchen to grab some more water, and lo and behold! On the table sat a smorgasbord of snacky foods! I opted for a serving (10 sticks) of these whole wheat honey pretzel sticks:
I’m not normally a pretzel kinda gal, but these have a really good sweetness to them that mixed really well with the salt. YUM! Alas, they only held me over for another hour or so before I decided it was lunch time. I had some veggies left over from our pizza the other night:
And some carrots with almond butter (best.combo.ever):
And a sandwich thin with a slice of provolone and a Morningstar Farms Tomato Basil Burger:
Such a yummy lunch, and SO COLORFUL! 🙂 I was super satisfied and it was actually a lot of fun to take pictures and edit them. I also did my walk for today, and sadly my knees are acting up again 🙁 It’s just the weirdest pain…it’s right in the middle of the back of my knee, and whenever I do a full step the pain spreads around the sides to the front of my knee. Anyone out there know what’s going on? Either way, it HURTS, and was almost to the point of me stopping and using a stranger’s phone to see if Nate would come pick me up. No bueno.
However, once I got back to the office I was able to enjoy one of these bad boys (woohoo COLOR!!!)
It’s funny, the tangelo I had today was slightly spicy! I was different though, and I really enjoyed it. Plus, look at all that happy color! How could you not love that?
The more I think about blogging, the more I’m realizing that one of my favorite things is taking the pictures! It’s so amazing how truly healthful, GOOD food has so much great color! Definitely makes for some awesome photography anyway 🙂 I must say, I seem to enjoy a lot of orange foods, but when I think about it my favorite color is green (at least this week anyway :)) I thought this silly quiz was kind of fun to see what your favorite color says about you!
Since I love both green & orange, I checked those both out: green says I’m sympathetic (check) and cheerful (check check)! So go on, take the quiz! It’s one question long… 🙂 What does your favorite color say about you? Do you feel like that’s an accurate description?

Green:
“You’re Sympathetic (true),
Balanced (true), Relaxed (false), Flexible (false),
Compassionate (false), Philosophical (true), Humble
(true), Loyal (true), Inventive (false), Unique (true)”
it got about 6/10 right.

Katie@ Two Lives, One Lifestyle says
I change my favorite color all the time, but went with blue. It means I’m “tender”…. I guess that’s why I cry so much??
Gelareh @ Nutritious Foodie says
I love the first photo… very nice!
The tangerine on blue is awesome as well!
Katie @ Health for the Whole Self says
My favorite color is yellow, which apparently means I’m smart. I’ll take it!
Even before you mentioned photography, I was thinking to myself how awesome your photos are!
Anna says
I love those pretzel sticks! They are definitely sweeter than your average pretzels.
I should take that color quiz now with my taste the rainbow challenge and all 🙂
Hillary says
Haha…I took the quiz and it definitely doesn’t depict who I am if – I chose orange too. Color oh color – it’s so true that healthy foods are the colorful ones – yummm!

I LOVE those honey wheat pretzels, and taking pictures is definitely my favorite part of blogging. I use the pictures to inspire everything I write; I wouldn’t know what to do without them!

My favorite color – purple – says I am wise and gifted. Can’t complain about that!
I love the color fresh veggies have – and it’s so fun to try to get a rainbow!

I’m not really a pretzel girl either – they are too dry and make me cough, but I LOVE those honey wheat sticks, too!!
