Busy week!

I meant to blog on monday, but then I was tired. I meant to blog after work Tuesday, but I didn’t feel inspired. I meant to blog yesterday, but was didn’t have any pictures to post. So here I am, posting 4 days after I promised a post. Sorry everyone!

Today I woke up nice and early! I really love waking up early, I’m not sure why but I seem to be more productive and the day seems so much longer when I wake up earlier, even if it’s just an hour earlier. I don’t feel rushed, I can check my email/read all the blogs I follow before even getting out of bed. So after I got showered and dressed, I decided I need a nice warm bowl of oatmeal.

I melted half a banana in a bowl in the microwave, added oats and skim milk, microwaved again until done, then topped it with the other half of the banana, sliced, a tbsp of natural peanut butter, and a tbsp mini dark chocolate chips. Mmmm it was really good!

I actually ate ALOT today. I did 45 mins of elliptical and some ab stuff at the gym, and it made me really hungry. After the gym I had some almonds and half of a protein bar, while I ran some errands. I needed new pants, apparently the ones I was wearing were 3 sizes too big. oops!

When I got home from shopping, I was starving! I knew I had an Amy’s Organic bean burrito in the freezer, calling my name. So that’s what I had, with salsa and a bit of cottage cheese on the side.

Yeah, it’s pretty ugly-looking, but it did the trick! Then later in the afternoon, I had a whole wheat english muffin with a couple slices of maple ham and spinach, because Lyndsey was working late, therefore dinner would be late. Well it turns out Lyndsey ended up picking up an extra 4 hours of work (overtime!!), so I had to pick something up for dinner to bring her, and ended up grabbing something for myself too. We had Arby’s and it totally wasn’t worth it, well, at least for me. I had an Jr Roast Beef sandwich, which was totally gross and made me feel ill, and 3 jalapeno poppers (my weakness, love them!). For the same amount of calories I could have had such a GOOD dinner at home. Oh well, could have been worse I guess, and I learnt my lesson.

Also, lately my “dessert” has been a single square of deliciously dark chocolate. I’m really loving this kind right now, it’s so delicious.

It has little grains of salt in embedded in it. So good, and fairly guilt free. I only even have 1 square, which is only 1/3 of a portion.

Oh, I guess I should write a little something about personal training/weight etc for this week. I thought training was so much better now that carbs are back in my life, so much more enjoyable (yes, really!). I ended up gaining 2 lbs this week, but it was all water weight. This also happened to be that “special” week, if you know what I mean, so I wasn’t too worried about it. I feel better about our diet now, so I’m not worried about gaining a couple extra lbs for one week.

P.s. Loving all the comments everyone! I <3 you all!!
