Dexter = Fail

Unfortunately we did not make it past episode one of Dexter. Monster pulled an all nighter the night prior so he was asleep after 15 minutes. I am fine putting it on hold until we can both commit. I have to say it's no FNL, but after 15 mins it's really hard to judge. I am biased.

I woke up with the plan to work out except I had zero clean work out clothes. I finally did some digging and found an old pair of work out capris to try out. After the search I realized I was past the time of getting to the gym, getting in a good work out and then showering with out being late to work. I packed a bag for tonight, so hoping to get in a good run (crossing my fingers for 3, it's been a few weeks.) I am pretty sore though, so we will play it by ear.

I started my day with another bowl of heaven aka Smart Start with blueberries. I have been eating this slower and slower each morning so I can enjoy each bite. It's sad. I act as if this is the last box on earth. I know I can just get another box at the store, but I am trying to not become addicted. TOO LATE!

I packed a Flat Bread wrap with turkey, spinach, light mayo and dijon mustard for my lunch and a banana for my mid-morning snack. I also picked up some watermelon and Popchips to go with my wrap for lunch. I decided to try out the BBQ potato popchips. I give them an A+. The bag is only 100 calories too! At only $.99, the bag was for sure worth it. "We don't fry it (unhealthy). We don't bake it (undelicious). We take wholesome potatoes, add a little heat and pressure, and pop! It's a chip. The only thing added is a flavorful blend of seasonings." Next time you see a bag of Popchips, give it a try.

I also picked up sliced watermelon at Walgreens too. For a double serving of watermelon it was $2.99. A little more than I wanted to spend on this fruit, but it was worth it. I am going to save the other half for tomorrow.

I plan to have some strawberries with splenda for my afternoon snack before hitting the gym. Dinner should be easy too, left over Chicken Teriyaki, but this time i will be using some of my brown rice from Monday night as my side. Healthier than white rice, brown rice has more fiber. It also contains nutrients like magnesium, manganese, and zinc.

It seems like I am eating a lot more fruit than before. The Food Pyramid suggests 2 to 4 servings of fruit each day and I am hitting this. Fruit is a perfect snack between meals. I should probably look into other fruit options so I don't get burned out. Maybe oranges? grapes? Lots of good options.

Back to work!
