Loved your comments on yesterday’s post! I didn’t want to be a Debbie Downer, but sometimes the 8 to 5 schedule and the go-go-go all the time really gets to me. Glad to hear I’m not the only one 
So it’s hump day! While we’re all trudging along through the week let’s take a break to talk about one of our favorite things—food! Thanks to the lovely Jenn for hosting!
Before I continue I have to confess something. I definitely did not bring enough food for lunch today. I was pretty ravenous in the afternoon and kinda angry at myself for being a combination of lazy/tired/not smart this morning when I packed my lunch. I had a lot of fruit in the house and wanted to use it up so I mostly packed that. Not enough substance! Stupid stupid stupid. I could throw a picture of a PB jar down there and pretend like I was smarter but I don’t want to lie to you guys.
Ok, maybe I’m being a little hard on myself. Anyway…
Breakfast, 8:00am
I forgot to grab egg whites at the store on Monday, so this breakfast sandwich just had an egg and cheddar cheese. Delicious!
Snack #1, 11:00am
Snacked on some red grapes through the late morning.
Lunch, 12:00pm
For lunch I brought a smoked apple chicken sausage, string cheese, and salad. This is where I was missing some bulk. I should’ve grabbed some bread or a granola bar or something!
Snack #2, 2:00pm
I was hungry again after a couple hours so out came my yogurt. Great flavor! The banana cream was really good.
Snack #3, 4:00pm
I started cursing how hungry I already was around 3, realized all I had was pineapple, and managed to wait until 4 to eat it. Blah, haha.
It was good pineapple though. I’ve been loving the sales on fruit at the grocery store lately.
Work it Out
I left the office at the usual time and drove to the gym. I had a cross-training day on the agenda and decided to split it between the Arc Trainer and…the rowing machine! Yay for trying new things! I did 20 minutes of leg work on the trainer and then rowed about 2,000m in a little over 10 minutes. I have no idea if that’s good or not, but my shoulders, upper back, and arms were feelin’ it! I definitely plan to incorporate the rowing machine more into my cardio rotation, great upper body workout.
Snack #4, 6:30pm
When I got home from the gym I needed food like nobody’s business. Enter this delicious concoction: chocolate rice cake, Teddie’s super crunchy PB, banana, and honey. YUM.
I may or may not have had a couple spoonfuls of this too.
Honestly I think I deserve an award for this jar lasting longer than a week (maybe two??) in my house. I don’t even know how that’s possible.
After snacking I was ready for a strength workout, and did Body Revolution Strength 11. It was tough!
Dinner, 8:00pm
I was craving anything but hot soup for dinner tonight since it was warm out today, but I only had one bowl left and wanted to make room in the fridge. OCD problems right there. It’s this soup that I made awhile back. I ended up freezing half since the recipe made so much.
And for dessert this delicious dark chocolate is making a comeback.
Hadn’t had it in awhile and it’s just as good as I remembered!
Questions: What do you do when you don’t bring enough food somewhere, like the office? Do you ever go OCD on your fridge and eat certain things just to make room? No…just me? haha
