Shortly after I posted last night, a package of Special K fruit crisps AND a mug full of peanut butter puffins and milk were consumed.
I get to evening and I’m just STARVED. I get plenty of calories throughout the day, but I’m so hungry after dinner. It’s rather obnoxious. 🙂
Busy Tuesday. I’m not feeling my best, but not sick either. I hate that? I basically feel kind of groggy…like my equilibrium is off or something.
Ah well, sally forth!
Had a super busy day at work today…eats were consumed, but pictures weren’t taken regularly.
Citrucel on the way to work – 7:45 a.m.
Breakfast – 8:45 a.m.
Two whole wheat blueberry waffles with real maple syrup. Delish.
I’d packed the remains of my frozen green monster from last week but I didn’t eat it. I wasn’t feeling it I guess because I wasn’t feeling well.
Lunch – 12:15 p.m.
Taco salad from market. I’m seriously obsessed. My only sadness is they don’t give me much chicken. Boo, more chicken!
Snack #1 – 2:00 p.m.
Obviously I’ve had minimal protein to this point in my day, and the 2:00 slump is when I’m feeling it. Dark chocolate Ghirardelli square and string cheese to the rescue.
Snack #2 – 3:45 p.m.
½ clif bar leftover from yesterday
Exercise
20 minutes HIIT on the elliptical in pyramid form…my ellipticals at my gym only measure strides, not MPH, but I went as fast as I could at each level without holding onto the elliptical at all (that’s cheating!)

How Blogging Put Me In The Poor House – I know my grocery budget went up significantly after I started reading healthy living blogs…so I can relate to this! I’ve abstained from the ‘gear’ issues, aside from a heart rate monitor. And I’m still working out in my mis-matched cotton t-shirts and shorts bought on sale. 🙂
