Eventful Day

Yesterday was quite an eventful day. I was proud of myself for making it to the gym for the first time in months! I am embarrassed to admit it but I’m much more excited that I went back. I had to pass by a few of the employees and was praying they didn’t recognize me or the fact that I haven’t been there in quite some time. I ran/walked the treadmill for about 45 mins ...gotta start somewhere!

This is me after the gym @ my apartment. Makeup-less. Not a good look for me but look how happy I look (and check out the motivational message behind me!):

After the gym I had to prepare dinner. While I steamed my vegetables I remembered the bag of Kale I bought over the weekend. I found the bag in the dark corners of my fridge and decided to steam the Kale together w/ my Broccoli and mixed vegetables:

Is it okay to steam kale? I’m not quite sure but it smelled and tasted okay--reminded me a lot of the flavor of Broccoli. Check this out:

I also had some vegetable soup that was pretty good (Healthy Choice Cheese Tortellini). I had a little bit less than 3/4 of the 14 oz container because the rest of my dinner (chicken + vegetables) were making me pretty full:

And finally after dinner I prepared my lunch for the next day (today). I added tomatoes to my usual turkey & cheese sandwich just because I love tomatoes so much.

Post dinner I took a shower, relaxed, painted my nails, watched some TV and went to bed. The goal was to review my accounting notes but that didn’t work out. As you can see, I obviously have my priorities straight.

PS: I want to try a good Kale recipe (besides just steaming it). Any suggestions are welcomed.
