TGIF! I say this and it has only been a four day week…but still, we’re always thankful for Fridays, right? My hubby got the day off of work, so he stayed up late last night and fell asleep on the couch. I feel awful about saying this, but I slept SO well! I had one of those night’s sleep where you wake up to the alarm mid-dream halfway wondering where you are. Anyway, I got right up and ventured to the gym.
Pre-workout snack:
At the gym, I did 30 minutes on the eliptical trainer followed by 35 minutes of solid core work (including push-ups). It was a good workout.
I ventured into the office and there were just two of eight of us in today. I cooked my pumpkin oats “microwave style” and they turned out pretty well. I used 1/2 c. oatmeal, 1/2 c. soymilk, 1/4 c. water, 1/3 c. pumpkin, 2 tsp. brown sugar, and cinnamon, cloves, and ginger.
It was pretty dead around work as I imagine most people took the day to recoup and whatnot, and by the afternoon I was jonesing to get outside and play. It was nearly 60* here and looked gorgeous!
Around 11:30 I got hungry and decided on part of my lunch…I ate 1/2 pb on honey whole wheat, carrots, and about 2/3 a grapefruit. It tasted delicious and satisfied me until 3pm!
For my afternoon snack I decided on a greek yogurt mixed with homemade cranberry sauce. I just followed the instructions on the back of the Ocean Spray bag but instead of 1 cup of sugar I used a little less than 2/3 cup of maple syrup. It came out so well and tasted almost like dessert!
I got popped by the video store on the way home from work and picked up THREE (count ‘em) 30 Rock dvd’s. We can keep them for 10 days, so I figured I’d rent them all! I guess I got a little Tina Fey happy. When I got home, my hubby and I took the dog for a nice walk as the sun was setting. It was still pretty warm and we walked for about 35 minutes. I had a handful of Kashi crackers before heading out and a few raisins.
Ok, I’ll post dinner soon!
