Happy Sunday!
Well, last night was a lot of fun. Probably too much fun!!! If you can only imagine about 40 people dressed up like Caddy Shack going from bar to bar! We got a lot of interesting looks from people, mainly though because they thought the idea was so cool and wanted to join in! In total last night I had three drinks….but it seemed like more!! I had two glasses of wine (one was in a plastic cup and seemed more like a half glass) and a Corona Light. I also ate that larabar because I felt like I needed some food around midnight. We didn’t get home til 1:30! I’ve def. got a bit of a headache today and I’m attributing that to cheap bar wine (who knows what that stuff is?!) and mixing drinks.
We slept in til 9:00! When I woke up I made a bowl of steel cut oats with almond butter and banana. I just walked to the coffee shop next to our apartment and got some coffee with soymilk and am starting to feel a bit better. I’m not sure what the plan is today….I’m waiting to see what the sun is doing outside—it looks like it might be a nice day when these morning clouds burn off. I also need to go to Whole Foods and buy more almond butter because (gasp!) I’m all out!!!
Here are some pictures for your entertainment. By the end of the night I was sporting a green masters jacket and introducing myself as Vijay Singh. I got some strange looks.

You better get to WF for more almond-butter, girl!! It’s too delicious NOT to ;0) I’m actually hooked on strawberry-almond butter (available at Futter’s Nut Butters webstore, where I purchase ALL of my nut-butters).
Have a wonderful Sunday!!

I just buy mine in the bulk bins at health food stores! Its the cheapest/best way to go in my opinion!

April 20, 2008 at 2:58 pmOut of almond butter…..I would die if I ran out of the stuff!!!! I keep my pantry stocked with at least one extra jar of some sort of nut butter. I totally agree that a trip to Whole Foods is a must.

April 20, 2008 at 2:59 pmHi Jenna,
I have two very different questions:
First, how do you make sure you’re getting all the essential nutrients as a vegetarian? I’ve heard that it’s hard to get enough iron without eating meat. Is this true?
Second, and I hope this isn’t too personal, but have you ever shared with us how you met your boyfriend? If so, sorry to ask again. Everytime I see a picture of him, I think he looks kind of French! You guys are too cute together.
Thanks!

It def. is NOT difficult to get your essential nutrients! I eat a TON of spinach, which has a ton of iron as well as tofu, soymilk, kale and other leafy greens. When I became a vegetarian I monitored my diet for a couple days to make sure I was meeting all my nutrition needs and I surpassed every daily value! I keep my diet very varied and eat a ton of fruits and veggies. I also take a multi vitamin (well I just ran out and I need to buy more) just for “insurance”.
Ryan and I met in an elevator 2 years ago and the rest is history. He is def. not french, that’s so funny!!!!!

April 20, 2008 at 4:46 pmJenna, so glad you had fun last night! Your outfits are too cute! I’m loving the baby pink!
I hope you have a great trip to Whole Foods today. I went yesterday (always go on Saturdays) and picked up my usual array of goodies. I think I love that store just a little too much! Definitely agree about the almond butter. It’s a must-have!
Hopefully the sun peaks out for you today. Shockingly, it’s making an appearance here in Boston. I can’t wait until summer arrives in full swing!
“see” you for lunch!
