Pockets!!!

It's almost Friday!! I love weekends, especially weekends when I am in town with zero plans. Zilch, Nada, Nothin! I can't wait to just be spur in the moment about everything. I do know that I am going to hit the gym at least once this weekend. Speaking of gym, that is how I started my day. I don't always do well working out in the morning b/c i feel like I have no energy. It takes awhile for me and my legs to wake up. Since I got in some weights last night, I stuck to cardio today. I ended up doing 10 minutes on the cross fit elliptical, 15 minutes on the regular elliptical and 15 on the treadmill with a 5 minute cool down. My cool down consisted of treadmill lunges for 3 minutes (I know I will feel this tomorrow) and 2 minutes at 3.0. I did some quick stretches and I got ready for work.

Packing a breakfast and lunch is tough when I hit the gym in the morning. I don't want anything to spoil and it takes about 2 hours from when I leave my apartment to get to the office. My frozen soy sausages were a good option b/c it would still be cold by the time I got to work. I didn't pack any eggs b/c warm hard boiled eggs are not that good :). So I went with 2 patties today for breakfast. Gosh I love these things! It's time to get a new box already!!

I have a few items at the office to snack on today, but don't have a lunch. My mid-morning snack is a snack pack of cottage cheese and my afternoon snack will be a string cheese. That leaves me with lunch...POCKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait. I received an email on Tuesday offering $3 off any purchase of $10. What a deal!! I may get crazy today and switch up my norm, but we will see. This email also mentioned that on August 14th, it's customer appreciation day. Pockets are only $1! Are you kidding me? This is going on my calendar and I will be taking advantage of this hot special.

More to come later. Have a good day!

Well Pockets of course was delish. I got the "Peri" today. I always get the same salad so I decided to call it that. I got a small salad which was a lettuce/spinach mix. I added tuna, blue cheese, mandarin oranges, edamame, dried cranberries, cucumbers and walnuts. I had half fat free raspberry dressing and half honey dijon. It was definitely a 10 lunch!

No snacks this afternoon. I was stuffed from my salad. I also needed to think about dinner. I didn't need anything heavy, so I went with a taco salad (which was heavy enough.) I had made lean hamburger taco meat last night. It was easy just to throw it in the microwave and warm it up. This spinach salad also consisted of baby tomatoes, shredded pepper jack cheese, salsa, light sour cream, giardiniera and a tad of ranch dressing. I also had a spoonful of mexican rice. It was a last minute put together dinner that I enjoyed. I like to make taco salads with soy crumbles too. These can be found in the freezer aisle near the rest of the Morningstar items. These are on the pricey side, but last a few months. I will pick that up the next time I get to the store.

I'm enjoying some decaf and ready to watch the final episode of "Bethany Getting Married?" I am sad its over, it's been one of my favorites this Summer.

Have a good night,
