So i made it to Friday with my eating plan and Im feeling good. However, my meals this past few days have been a little boring considering Ive been rushing from work to school and back. Hopefully this weekend I can make things a little bit more exciting.
*For breakfast I had the same peanut butter sandwich on a 100% wheat bread roll (Im trying to consume the bread before it expires...dont want that going to waste! I paired that up with some green tea and a medium fruit salad. I also had some coffee with 2% milk (less than 1/2 cup). *Though I took a picture but for some reason cannot find it in my camera :(
*Lunch was this delish homemade Tuna Sandwich I prepared last night plus some 100 calorie multigrain SunChips. This was eaten on my way to the mall to run some errands (ummm.....maybe I need to slow down). Once I got back in to work I also had a large apple:
My Mid-afternoon hunger alarm went off again (as it appeared to be the norm this past week). I had nothing else to snack on other than some mixed nuts from the "snack cart" at work--that was the only healthy thing in there (yes, we have a snack cart which should seriously be confiscated).
Ok..so, after work, which ended at around 5:30pm...I had some additional errands to run (yes the running around never ends!!). So, by 8pm I was still on the road and I'm STARVING. No idea on what I should eat.
...Sooo I found a Mexican spot at the mall and looked at the menu for what felt like an eternity only to find most of the menu items were over 600 calories! (side note: LOVE the fact that in NYC restaurants are required by law to post calorie content of meals...whoever came up with that idea deserves a nobel price or something).
After getting an annoyed look from the women taking my order, I decided for a chicken quesadilla which surprisingly was one of the items with the lesser calories. I only ate HALF of it (notice how im working out my self control muscle?... yayyy me ;)
To "balance out" the meal and not eat the entire quesadilla, I got myself a Non-Fat Late from McDonalds with no sugar. It was surprisingly really good (this was consumed on my way back home from an extremely busy day) :
I haven't done any "official" workouts this week but considering I'm just getting back on my feet with the healthy eating, im trying to do one thing at the time. I plan on starting on my workout plans next week and I'm excited for that. :D
Ive been thinking how lack of time with work and school have not allowed me to indulge in one of my favorite hobbies/passions (aside from blogging): Reading magazines!! I'm sooo backed up in my reading that, as you can see, I have doubles of the same magazine (June and July editions).
Perhaps I'll take some time off this weekend and spend some quality time with them...Magazines put a smile on my face.
What little things in life bring YOU joy?
I dont' think I could have stopped at half of a quesadilla! Those are so yummy.
ReplyDeleteMy garden brings me a lot of joy. I love to go out each day and see what new things have popped up.
