OMG I tweeted with Jillian Michaels last night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here’s the interaction:
~~~~~
IowaGirlEats: Not enough @JillianMichaels beat downs in this episode of BL…I suppose we do have 45 minutes left… 
IowaGirlEats: Bob is making @JillianMichaels look like a meek little kitten!
JillianMichaels @iowagirleats What?! Take it easy. Meek kitten? How dare you.
~~~~~
I might have semi offended Jillian Michaels, but she tweeted back at me!! I have had a “thing” for JM since the first season of BL – this is epic. I started sweating and could not stop giggling. Crush!!! Ok, now I just sound like a super stalker…but Jillian, if you’re reading and you need a personal assistant, I’m available. Just saying.
Ahhhh, anyways 
After I got over the tweetcitement, I got an Overnight Breakfast Cookie ready!
In the mix:
- 1 mashed banana
- 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 Tablespoon almond butter
- Sprinkle of almond slices
- Sprinkle of cinnamon
- 2 Tablespoons skim milk
- Ring of raspberries & a pool of blueberries
omg I love fresh berries. There’s really no other way to put it. So sweet without a drop of sugar!
Lunch today is a Veggie Lovers Salad. Ugh it feels like I haven’t had a salad in aaaaages – I am totally craving one!
In the mix:
- Mixed greens
- Steamed broccoli
- Baby carrots
- Chopped tomato
- Dried cranberries
- Roasted Garlic Balsamic Vinaigrette
Loving the combo of flavors and textures in here – tender broccoli, crunchy carrots, chewy cranberries and juicy tomatoes – hi-yo!
I also packed the king – a Honeycrisp Apple.
Ben tried his first Honeycrisp last night and proclaimed that he will never eat another variety for as long as he lives. Yay for him finding a nutritious snack that he likes…but…now I have to share my precious Honeycrisp stash 
RATS!
In other news:
- I had Australian Licorice dreams last night. I was working at an amusement park (?) and found out one of the gift shops sold massive amounts of it…yes!
- I put in a new pair of contacts today. Nothing like the sweet, sweet, un-impaired vision bliss that comes with putting in a fresh new set of peepers.
I can’t believe it’s Wednesday already – boo yah – I have some fun plans this weekend that I am really looking forward to, so this week can’t go fast enough. I try to never wish away my days, but come on down weekend!

What’s your current favorite song?
Mine’s “Halo” by Beyonce. Love the lyrics and melody!
Ahhhh I would freak out too if JM responded to me!!!
Btw I love when you say boo yah! Lol it cracks me up
That was sooo awesome that she tweeted you last night!
Oh and I love Miley’s new song “Party in the USA”. I’m a 13 year old girl at heart I guess!
Haha loving the contact comment — sooooo true! Have a great day and congrats on the JM tweet
Awesome!
Offending Jillian Michaels = priceless
hahahahahahahah — veggie girl got it right!
i’m glad you’re giddy! i’m totally looking forward to the weekend… running 8 miles & getting banged up mountain bikin’!
That is so awesome! Not sure if it’s appropriate or not, but congratulations!
And, as usual, your pictures make everything look so yummy!
I love Jillian on the Biggest Loser too, I wanted to be a Personal Trainer like her, she is such a great motivation and love her exercise philosophy!
Great b-fast cookie, berries look great!
LOVING everything in this post – offending Jillian Michaels, sweet fresh berries, that ginormous salad and a honeycrisp apple. a fabulous way to start wednesday
OMG! We BOTH had celebrity interactions yesterday! I tweeted @Rick_Bayless about his restaurant plans for Dia de los Muertos and he RESPONDED!!!
Maybe if you tick her off again she’ll come to your house?? LOL
Hahah that is awesome she tweeted you back!!!!! I gotta start tweeting celebs and see if they respond. Gotta say something to tick em off or catch their eye hahah.
That cookie is the cookie of all breakfast cookies. Best one I’ve seen!
Haha, what a funny moment, I’d watch out for her!
That breakfast cookie looks insanely good
Dude! That is so unbelievably cool! I love Jillian Michaels… she rocks my socks. I’m so jealous, but I’m thrilled for you!
And you’re making me want to go out on a fruit & veggie shopping spree so I can have amazing toppings for my breakfast cookie as well as the ingredients to make a kick-a salad. Do you use dressing? If so, what kind?
Have a good one!
OMG OMG OMG!
you are totes famous girl! ah u are so lucky! hehe
i love the looks of that salad. i get excited with the fun textures that you can make happen with salad options! have a great day girl!
LOL – I LOVE IT! I would have freaked if she tweeted back at me!
Awesome, awesome, awesome! I adore Jillian!
That is so awesome! I love Jillian and Biggest Loser.
I agree, not enough Jillian last night. She wasn’t yelling enough, that’s entertaining! LOL

duuuude. honeycrisp apples are the best ever! hands down. i wish they were around all year long. funny about the tweet back. have a good day!
That is so COOL that you tweeted with Jillian!
I love her, I have been watching every season since the beginning and always loved her way of training, even when others did not agree!
Seeing as I was as BIG (246 pounds at my heaviest) as many of those on “Biggest Loser” and can totally relate to them…..I can honestly say that you need a trainer like her to push you behind your comfort level and even farther, otherwise you won’t do it and will quit!
I luckily, had my husband to push me, he wasn’t quite like Jillian but I wanted to do good for him and myself so I did it! =) Laura

Hahaha! OMG that’s awesome!
I also had no idea you were on Twitter – just started to follow you!
AW! I LOVE JILLIAN!
I’m so jealous! That’s awesome; she’s totally going to come to your house and kick some booty!
Wow I didn’t think that would offend Jillian Michaels…she is soooo cool. I love listening to her podcast all the time.
I will never share my honeycrisps. That’s why I buy gala for Hunni and I eat my honey crips
Miley Cyrus’ party in the usa is so catchy! I feel so young when I remember she is Hannah Montana.
Check out my latest post: 3 Awesome Prepared Foods. It lists 5 foods that are a great buy at the grocery store because they can be used in so many dishes. http://www.runninginflats.blogspot.com
Okay, Jillian is SO AWESOME. I asked my hubs if I could gain 100 pounds just so I could be on BL and get her to yell at me, too! I hear you on the girl-crush! Oh, and I SOOOO clapped a bit when I read that!! Total dork, I know!
Fav song of the moment? Well, like the previous poster, I like Party in the USA even though I’m over a decade older than Miley Cyrus. . . I also am digging 3oh!3′s song, too. Forget the name though.
Have a great Wednesday!
thats so sweeet! oh my gosh! how exciting! you should insult her more often;-)
jokes
i want your breakfast cookie… please
xx
Can’t believe you had a brush with stardom! I live the biggest loser, but I think working out with Jillian or bob would freak me out (and simultaniously kill me). I have SOany favorite songs right now..but I think I’ll go with Keep the Girl by Jason Aldean
Super cool!!
Love your super-colorful breakfast and lunch – beautiful!
I love that you riled Jillian. You are who’s boss!
That’s so awesome! I would have been so excited too!
Ah ha ha! That’s so funny about your tweet! It’s cool that she responded.
That breakfast cookie looks delish, I can’t believe I still haven’t tried one yet. My favorite song of the moment is Don’t Trust Me by 3Oh!3. Ever since the VMAs, I cannot get their song out of my head.
I tried your Creamy No Cream Pasta and it was fantastic! Had no idea that beans could be used like that to make a sauce. Took me all of 15 minutes from beginning to end. It goes into the “save that recipe” file!
You officially have me addicted to honeycrisp apples now! I am a red delicious/pink lady fan, but I am a convert. It’s basically candy.
I love beyonce too- did you catch this clip on Ellen? You’ll love her even more! http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#2Udc44/ellen.warnerbros.com/2009/09/beyonces_beautiful_moment.php/
Ahhh that is hilarious and awesome!!! Note to self: if I ever want to tweet with a celebrity, say a semi-offensive comment about them!
That’s awesome!! I’ve always wanted to respond to celebrity tweets but figured they didn’t read replies! Good to know some do!
How cool that you got a Tweet from Jillian!
Love the looks of that salad–I’ve always thought that broccoli and dried fruit go really well together…then again I think broccoli goes with everything!
Jillian is really cool to tweet back. Love her.
Jillian Michaels is definitely the biggest success in business at the moment. She ought to be careful to not encourage junk products though when she says that the actual path to fitness is good food and exercising.
