Post #100

Yay for me! I hit post #100 today. I had no idea this blogging thing would be something that I enjoy doing. I love to blog over my lunch hour for a quick break in the work day and just zone in on my meal thoughts and my work out plan. Today I changed it up. I am sitting on my couch watching Fashion Police and under my comfy blanket just relaxing. I didn't have time today to blog and I kinda missed it. So here it is :).

The weather today is absolutely crazy!! I looked out the window of my boss's office around 1:30pm and shrugged off this blizzard rumor. When I got up to get water around 3:30pm it was a completely different story. Monster actually had to fly out today for a work trip around 1pm and he got out with zero issues. Good for him, but bad for me. I have lots of anxiety when anyone travels in this weather. Luckily he got to Duluth, MN safe and sound and missed/will be missing this blizzard going down in Chi.

Before bed last night I started to put together my work out bag and thought to myself...I'm going to do p90x in the morning. I slept for an additional 30 minutes which was heavenly and got up and ready for an hour of kickboxing. Monster decided to join me today and it was probably the funniest experience ever. First of all, the space we had to do kickboxing in was tight. We had about a 5 x 4 square if that for kicks, punches, jumping jacks, etc. Also, Monster had a ton of energy this morning. It was just a goofy time, but very happy to get a work out in this morning and out of the way.

I had a good amount of energy today post work out and put in a full day at work before hailing a cab to bring my home in this snowy mess. One hour in a cab + $30 = home safe avoiding a crowded bus!

My meal plan for the day:
Breakfast - egg beaters with laughing cow wedge, soy sausage patty in half a whole wheat pita pocket
Snack - CCPB granola bar
Lunch - Salad with dried cranberries, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese - maybe 1 tablespoon not a lot, a few croutons and 1 tbsp honey mustard dressing plus 3 stuffed shells from dinner on Sunday.
Dinner - Campbells Mega Noodle soup with a few oyster crackers, Morningstar BB burger on half an english muffin

The 45 - 50 mins of cardio I did today allowed me to eat a few more points than my daily amount. That's actually one of the biggest reasons I force myself to go to the gym in the morning. I like that I could eat a few more points if I wanted. It's nice to have the option.

Hope you are staying warm!!! TTYL.
