All day I kept thinking that it was Thursday, when it was actually only Wednesday. This has been quite a busy and long week…I need some R & R! Besides being a little stressed, I had quite the productive day. Breakfast was coffee, dark, sweet cherries (love these!), 1 cup low fat plain yogurt, and 1/2 cup Kashi Go Lean Crunch.
I love finishing off a container of yogurt – so fun to use the big tub as a bowl 
I managed to fit in a quickie gym visit at lunch – 30 minutes of intervals on the elliptical (I alternated 1 minute fast with a few minutes recovery), foam rolling, and 3 x 10 lunges. Short and sweet!
Lunch was the usual salad – eaten at my desk because of back-to-back conference calls.
-
romaine, carrots, mushrooms, onions
-
spoonfuls of baked beans and pinto bean salad
-
spoonful of artichoke and olive salad
-
spoonful of sun dried tomato-pasta salad
-
piece of pesto cauliflower
-
feta cheese
-
whole grain croutons
-
Tbs balsamic vinaigrette
Yum! There were lots of varied flavors, textures, and colors in this lunch. It kept my taste buds guessing
I had a wicked headache all afternoon, so I took to advils along with a skim cappuccino and some trail mix. It helped a little bit.
After work, Alma and I had an appointment with a broker. Why are brokers always so sketchy?? Anyway, I knew it was going to be a long night so I grabbed another handful of trail mix from a 25 cent machine. This was actually really great trail mix! I might try to re-create the combo of peanuts, cashews, m&ms, and raisins at home.
We braved the rain to look at an apartment uptown- it was decent, but we’re still searching for the right place.
When I got home I made myself a little pomegranate juice cocktail – 1/2 cup POM Wonderful juice + 1 cup lime seltzer. Mmm, antioxidants!
Dinner was another pita pizza – whole wheat flatbread topped with fresh mozzarella, feta cheese, zucchini, green pepper, and basil. Next time I might put marinara sauce on this. It was tasty, but it needed a little somethin’ extra. It was super filling though – I love cheese and veggies!
For dessert Nate and I finished off the last of the peach cardamom pie, served with vanilla ice cream, of course!
