I promised I’d “write it if I bite it” or “scribble if I nibbled,” so here goes the first day of food journaling:

Breakfast: Two pieces of toast w/ PB and a drizzle of Lite Maple Syrup

Snack: Handful of almonds and dried cranberries

Snack 2: Yogurtland – delicious. Love that they’re open on national holidays (they’re our go-to place on Christmas for SURE!)

After our un-needed, but very delicious Yogurtland treat, Sister and I decided to go for a 4-mile walk around Irvine Lake. I just can’t get over how pretty and peaceful it is.

People were already in full celebration mode – red cups and all.

After our walk, we popped in at the gym for some more cardio (bike and elliptical) before heading over to Subway for lunch!

Lunch: 6-inch oven roasted chicken breast on Honey Oat!

We stopped at Sprouts Farmers Market to pick up some veggies for the BBQ tonight. I didn’t realize that zucchini and “Italian squash” were the same thing. I mean, I knew that Italian squash looked an awful lot like zucchini. But, I just didn’t know they were the same thing. So Sister asked someone who worked there where the zucchini was (while we were standing right in front of the zucchini) and he just gave us a look like we were big dummies. How embarrassing.

Also, discovered that my favorite vineyards (Cupcake Vineyards!!) makes a new wine: moscato!!!!! I fell in love with Cupcake Wine after I tried their Red Velvet wine. It was unbelievable (and I think the main reason I started branching out to red wine. I was a white drinker for so long).

I did a little bit of a happy dance in the wine aisle…no big deal. And definitely made that purchase. Can’t wait to try it! (But no, my dinner tonight will not be wine and bread).

Snack 3: A few slices of watermelon

Dinner: Grilled veggies and chicken on the BBQ! They’re all chopped up and ready to go. Heading out to grill with Sister right now! =)

Do you prefer reds or whites? What is your favorite kind of wine (I need something new to try!)?
