Salad and a Photo

Something about the crisp fall air got me in the mood for a good, hearty salad.

Here's my new favorite concoction:

A bag of mixed baby greens
1 Granny Smith apple, chopped
1/2 a bag of Craisins
1/2 red onion, chopped
a block of Gruyere cheese to shred over top

Toss everything with balsamic vinegarette and eat 3x in one week. It's amazing. The Gruyere cheese adds a nice sharp contrast to the Craisins and apples, so if you can't find a block of that, I'd suggest something like Swiss.

And just for kicks, here's my 31 week gut from this past Friday:


Yes, that is what I wore to work last week. Ryan and I were both at work late numerous days and no one did laundry... and since I only have 2 pairs of pants that fit and both went in the dirty laundry, I had to resort to a pair of yoga pants that couldn't even be dressed up with a nicer shirt - there was no denying they were just workout clothes. So I went with the workout theme and wore a maternity tank and a fleece zip up... thank God I don't work for Corporate America. I would be in huge trouble if I needed to dress up every day.

And here's a naked belly, cause I cannot believe how much belly skin actually stretches:

Also, is it Friday yet?
