I lazed around basically all afternoon – it was a loooong week friends!
Dinner was according to my 2 week menu, which was fine, because I was definitely in the mood for this dinner! I had a Boca Vegan Veggie Burger on a Thin, with .5 oz colby jack cheese, lettuce, ketchup, and mustard, along with some homemade healthy cole slaw!
Yum Yum Yum!
I made the cole slaw using some TJ’s shredded cabbage, 1/2 cup Oikos, 1/4 cup Rice Vinegar, 1 Tbs. Sugar, and 1 oz slivered almonds!
I just mixed the Oikos, rice vinegar, and sugar. I combined the shredded cabbage with the slivered almonds. Then I mixed everything together making sure to coat the caggage and almonds, then I let it cool in the refrigerator.
If you like coleslaw, I would definitely recommend trying this!
Anyways, after dinner I watched some Friends (I’m on Season 9!) and paid bills online…so sad to watch my money click click click away.
I wanted to get out of the apartment, so I decided to go to REI after seeing in my email that they were having a Labor Day sale! I love sales. I spent over an hour at the store and came home with lots of goodies!
Look at my new bike helmet!
This is usually a $54 helmet, but I got it for just under $40! Good deals!
I also picked up some bars and fuel for my long workouts!
Luna, Clif, and Clif Mojo Bars were all on sale for $0.99 apiece; the Clif Shot Blocks were on sale for $1.49 apiece; the Clif Shots were on sale for $0.79 apiece; and the ProBars were on sale for $2.39 apiece.
I got everything for $57.42! Can’t beat that!
Look at my box of bars…
And my box of running fuel…
I have a problem…or maybe a number of problems (organizational freak, obsession with bars, shopaholic). Oh well!
Dessert was 1/2 of an Alternative Baking Co. Colossal Chocolate Chip Cookie (came out of the dessert foods box hahaha)
I ate it with 1/2 cup unsweetened soymilk.
What a yummy day! I’m getting pumped up for my 8+mile run tomorrow. ”m also going to be planning my meals for the next few weeks, making a grocery list, and of course doing some law school homework – what else would I do really!
Hope you’re all excited for the long weekend, I know I am!

nice purchase. i so wish those sandwich thins were sold around here.. sigh. those pro bars are made here in utah! i have never tried them though, the stats freak me out a bit because i am a more-protein-bang-for-your-calorie-buck type of gal. cute helmet!
That dinner is absolutely amazing – love the cheese
I have the same bar obsession but at least we’re well fed?! You scored some great deals!! Good luck with your 8+ today!!

Super good deals! I need a new helmet too! I wonder if other places are having sales right now. I really like the one you got!
Look at all those bars I am so jealous! The white choc macadamia luna bars are sooooooo good!
Yay for sales
I totally spent an hour or two at REI last weekend myself
I totally have a “bar box” too! It’s fine that we’re organized haha it’s important to take inventory sometimes and that’s an easy way!
have a fun weekend!
Nice helmet. And I love your box of bars. I’m totally the same way with organization. it just calms me to know where everything is
[...] After a shower, I made myself some brunch – a Thin breakfast sandwich with 1 fried egg and .5 oz colby jack cheese with the last serving of my healthy coleslaw. [...]
