GO VOLS!

Is everyone wearing their team colors?  I’m decked out in full gaudy orange today… orange and white polka dot dress, orange belt, orange “T” earrings, orange ring, even a hint of orange in my makeup.  =)  UT’s home opener at Neyland Stadium is tomorrow, and for those that aren’t from the South, football is craziness down here and this is the beginning of a 4-month football frenzy.

Despite the football madness, tailgate parties, and calorie-laden food, I can be strong and not over-indulge.  Besides, I’m in marathon-training mode so I won’t feel too good for my 7-mile run Sunday if I’m bloated!  For breakfast today I decided to try something I saw on Angie’s Appetite, a Nutella berry breakfast sandwich.  It was amazing!  Although I probably shouldn’t have tried to eat it while driving.  A strawberry escaped and got chocolate on my dress in at least 4 places.  Thank goodness for Tide To Go pens!

Daily Meal Tracker – Nutella banana berry sandwich; salad and 1/2 hummus sandwich for lunch; bowl of white chicken chili from Ruby Tuesday for dinner (this is a healthy but tasty soup that always fills me up for only about 220 calories, and vegetarians can ask them to hold the chicken, it’s great both ways), milk.
