I'm Back!

Goodness gracious! This break has been much longer than expected, but I am so happy to be back and full swing with 30 x 30.

The past few weekends and last week were insane. Entertaining friends, trying new restaurants, drinking too much...damper on the diet.

Working out when I travel is always much tougher than it should be too. Quick trips never make sense for me to bring my gym stuff especially since I pack a carry on and bring as little as possible. I should just wear my gym shoes on the plane so it doesn't take space in my bag...ding ding ding! Great idea. Wow, why didn't I think of this before! So stupid.

Yesterday I started back on my diet 100%. I also got in an hour of yoga which felt amazing! I am def feeling it today all over.

My breakfast was an Earthgrains Multi-Grain Flat Bun. At only 100 calories and 4G of fiber it is a great bun for my egg white and soy sausage sandwich I make.

I had a South Beach granola bar that I split in half. I had half for my mid-morning snack and the other half for my afternoon snack. These are filling!

Lunch was a grilled chicken salad with strawberries, onions and goat cheese on spinach from Yolk. I used the dip the fork in the dressing technique with my honey dijon dressing. Just enough in each bite.

Dinner I made whole wheat pasta with grilled shrimp. I took plain tomato sauce and added red pepper flakes, italian seasoning, basil and grilled zucchini. It was an amazing dinner! I had just enough to keep me full. No late snacks either :).

Today I had copied my brekafst from yesterday. I actually get excited for breakfast since these sandwiches are so easy and tasty!

For a snack I had grapes that I picked up at Whole Foods earlier this week. I ate half of the grapes on Monday and the other half today.

Lunch was a Thin Bun sandwich with 99% ff turkey, spinach and a laughing cow wedge. I also had a few pieces of watermelon and pita chips with hummus (favorite snack.)

I had the whole wheat braided twists pretzels for my afternoon snack. The pack they sell in the vending machine at work are just enough pretzels to tie me over.

Monster and I are bbqing tonight. I think the menu is cous-cous and grilled chicken. i may bring spinach over too. Yummy! I love cooking vs going to eat sometimes!

Have a good rest of the day and I will be back tomorrow,
