I Love Michelle Obama

Good news. No, great news. My project is done. Done. Done. Done. I will have pictures up tomorrow!

After I finished I was able to get in an afternoon nap for an hour. I was awoken because the sun was shining! I haven’t seen sun in days weeks. So glorious. I was also able to update my blogroll. For those of you I have *just* started following, I haven’t put you on it yet, but probably will after I have followed you for a while. I can’t wait to do more behind-the-blog stuff and do some mindcasting.

Let’s Move

Like the fact that I love Michelle Obama. I mean she has fabulous arms, and a kind heart (it also doesn’t hurt that we share the same name), but I was watching a CNBC special One Nation, Overweight which brought up the first lady’s fight again childhood obesity through her program Let’s Move.

Let’s Move seems a lot like what Jamie Oliver is trying to do in his Food Revolution. Let’s Move is trying to bring healthier foods into the school systems and get kids more active to prevent childhood obesity. I completely agree that healthier food in the school system is something we need. I remember my best friend in middle school would get a big slice of pizza and tater tots covered in ketchup everysingleday. I would get a chicken burger on white bread everysingleday. We simply couldn’t figure out why we couldn’t get sexy abs no matter how hard we tried and often fell sick.

It blows my mind that we still allow kids to be fed such crap food, and I’m glad the First Lady is on it. I love Michelle Obama.

Midmorning Snack

This is my midmorning snack. Not too shabby, eh? I just had to make it again.

Inspiration taken from Tyler’s “Frappe-Tyler”

Homemade Frappachino

• 1 c. almond milk
• a scoop chocolate protein powder
• 2 T chia seeds
• 1 t espresso mix
• lots of ice

I love how much energy I get from this. The caffeine from the espresso mix definitely helps, but also the chia seeds, protein and almond milk also really add up.

Soooo mouthwatering.

Lunch

The homemade frappachino kept me adequately full and I only needed a small lunch.

A quick almond butter + guava jelly sandwich on Great Harvet’s sunflower seed and millet bread did the trick for an at-the-studio lunch. I usually can’t ever get full from just a sandwich but it kept me perfectly content.

Dinner

After my lovely afternoon nap and catching up in the blog world I made some grub

The messiest Southwest-inspired wrap ever made. I was afraid to move it for the picture as it would probably get destroyed.

• Spring greens
• Red, yellow and orange bell pepper
• leftover cheesy rice
• blue corn tortilla chips
• Annie’s Woodstock dressing

I had a lot of extra ingredients so I just put the same ingredients and called it a salad. Yeah, I’m pretty lazy.

Time to pin up my final project. Have a good night bloggies!
