I love when I accidentally discover delicious gluten free snacks. When you are forced to follow a certain diet, it's always comforting to find foods that resembles what you were used to eating so you don't feel like you're missing out. Since I liked the cashew Nakd bar so much, I decided to try the cocoa bar and it was just as good-- it had a nice, sweet balance of chocolate and dates.

okay.. I might be overdoing it on the GF snacking but I can't help it! Whenever I try something new, I like to try it all :) These jammies were really good- almost tasted like the real
things but this cookie was a lot more crumblier in texture.
lunch was leftover shepherd's pie and sauteed bok choy- my fav!
afternoon snack- GF veggie chips, refried beans, and salsa. My version of nachos w. out the cheese :)
Dinner: I ate this while watching
Jennifer's Body- The movie was quite cheesy but I actually found Megan Fox's acting to be alright!!
leftover lamb w. brown rice
I also threw together a sloppily made caprese salad because I was too lazy to cook some vegetables...

After breakfast, I trekked out to the gym in the gunky weather (it's raining!!!) and ran for 45 minutes on the treadmill. I was quite happy because I got to watch rerun of the Man U vs. Tottenham football match and run. Call me a weirdo but I luuuuuurve <3 watching sports when working out. It almost beats watching Sports Center.. ..
