Kiss of the Shiba

Heyyyyyy ๐Ÿ™‚ How are ya?? Itโ€™s almost Friday and almost New Yearโ€™s Eve! I LOVE New Yearโ€™s.. feels so good to start off a fresh year ๐Ÿ™‚ Iโ€™ll be posting my 2010 re-cap in the AM and my new inspiration board on Monday.

I already picked out someone special to give me a New Yearโ€™s kiss:

vies

Pucker up, Vies ๐Ÿ˜‰

So last night, I finally got some Indian food in my life ๐Ÿ™‚

food

Roasted organic cauliflower, tomatoes (from the farmerโ€™s market), chickpeas and onions with cumin, curry, garlic, a lil ginjah (aka ginger), sea salt and pepper

I enjoyed mine with a mesquite flour tortilla and the roomies had toasted garlic naan from Trader Joeโ€™s ๐Ÿ˜€

We watched movies and I did some work and then called it a night.

In my attempts to have more creative breakfasts everyday (hope ya noticed!), I decided to do a spin on the usual oats.

Cooked up some GF steel cut oats with organic berries, cinnamon, pinch of sea salt and vanilla

oats

In a bowl, I combined goatโ€™s milk plain yogurt

yogurt

(which I just now realized was a day over the expirationโ€ฆ lovely, haha)

with 1/2 scoop of Sun Warrior and a lil Stevia

yogurt (2)

then layered the goods Oh She Glows style in a glass

parfait

Deeeeeelish ๐Ÿ˜€ 23g of protein! The version in my brain was prettier than the actual product, though ๐Ÿ˜‰

Todayโ€™s plan:

to do

(Iโ€™m going to Valdosta in January for Jeniโ€™s baby shower! So excited)

Iโ€™m out like sauerkraut ๐Ÿ˜‰

xoxo

    Steel cut oats for the win, especially with berries! Holla!

    I’m kissing my grandpa ๐Ÿ˜‰ Sounds like it’s gonna be a wild night for me, huh? Oh well.

  21. Namaste Gurl on December 30, 2010 at 1:30 pm

    What a lovely protein- packed idea to make a parfait with oats and yogurt! I’ve done it with dry oats, but never cooked ones ๐Ÿ™‚ Trying goats milk yogurt is also on my list…. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  22. Amanda (Eating Up) on December 30, 2010 at 1:42 pm

    I’ve only actually kissed someone one year so far! It’s clearly not a priority for me on NYE haha.

  23. Sana on December 30, 2010 at 1:57 pm

    I don’t think I will be kissing anyone, buttt I have lots of special people in my life and that makes me happy ๐Ÿ™‚

  24. Kimberly on December 30, 2010 at 2:09 pm

    I’ll be with my wonderful boyfriend and our two Shiba Inu’s! They are the best dogs around ๐Ÿ™‚

  25. Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) on December 30, 2010 at 2:26 pm

    “Iโ€™m out like sauerkraut”–That has me truly LOLing. It’s the little things like that that make my day ๐Ÿ™‚

    Have fun on New Yrs whatever your plans all entail.

    And your vision board, excited to see it and hear about what’s in store for 2011 for you!

    Oh and the expired yogurt, as long as it didnt stink or smell off, you’re probably ok. I mean, the active cultures in the yogurt, i.e. probiotics and bacteria, will just usually continue to regulate themselves. Not always, but ya know, just consider it a few extra probiotics for your gut than usual ๐Ÿ™‚

  26. Katy (The Singing Runner) on December 30, 2010 at 2:51 pm

    I haven’t found my New Years kiss yet… but I’m sure I will! ๐Ÿ˜‰

  27. Laura @ prettylittlewords on December 30, 2010 at 2:54 pm

    What a face on that pup! ๐Ÿ™‚

  28. Tina on December 30, 2010 at 3:42 pm

    Your New Year’s date is a stud ๐Ÿ˜‰

  29. Mo on December 30, 2010 at 3:51 pm

    My ball and chain is going to be out of town, so I too will be smooching the fuzzy snout of my canine. Wishing you, your pilot and your 4 legged children a happy and healthy New Year.

  30. Jessica @ How Sweet It Is on December 30, 2010 at 5:14 pm

    My hubby! But only if we stay up that late…

  31. Nikki on December 30, 2010 at 6:07 pm

    Body pump terrifies me!! That will be among my 2011 goals, for sure.

    • Fitnessista on December 30, 2010 at 8:59 pm

      don’t be afraid! it’s very easy to follow

  32. Melissa (MelissaLikesToEat) on December 30, 2010 at 6:46 pm

    I love New Years Eve! Although New Years day sometimes depresses me….no more holidays to look forward to for awhile. ๐Ÿ™

  33. Kyla on December 30, 2010 at 6:46 pm

  36. Lily on December 30, 2010 at 8:04 pm

    how do you make sunwarrior oats? i ordered em from your promo, but i cant get the oats not to taste chalky!!
    hellp ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Fitnessista on December 30, 2010 at 8:59 pm

      add the sw after the oats are cooked- start with half a scoop, lots of almond milk and some Stevia, cinnamon and vanilla

  37. The Pilot on December 30, 2010 at 8:09 pm

    Pucker up, camel ๐Ÿ˜‰

    • Fitnessista on December 30, 2010 at 8:58 pm

      hahaha!

  38. Sheena on December 30, 2010 at 8:19 pm

    Check out Hotwire for booking your rental car. You usually save quite a bit of $$$ than when booking directly with agencies so it’s definitely worth a look. The thing is that you don’t know what company’s car you will get until after you have paid, but they only use the five major agencies and tell you upfront which ones they are – so you know that you will be getting a new car and won’t be dealing with some shady rental company.

    Oh and your oats look delish? Are all oats GF or just steel cut?

    • Fitnessista on December 30, 2010 at 11:20 pm

      good to know, thanks!
      not all oats are gf- i buy the bobs red mill brand that are

  39. Priyanka on December 30, 2010 at 8:45 pm

    Each time I see your mesquite tortillas, they remind me of “Thepla” (type of Roti). My New years kiss, my husband ๐Ÿ™‚

  40. Cynthia on December 30, 2010 at 10:05 pm

    I will be kissing my soon-to-be husband and toast to our upcoming wedding in 2011 ๐Ÿ™‚

  41. Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin on December 31, 2010 at 8:06 am

    I’m just doing low key drinks with my girlfriends, so no kiss for me this year! Who needs boys? ๐Ÿ˜‰
