New Week, New Day

ADDENDUM:
I meant to direct you guys to Mandy's blog, where she posted one of my comments on the topic of comfort (food and fitness - related). Check it out. Thanks!


=========================

Good morning. I'm hoping you've all recovered from your holiday weekend and are managing to get your head wrapped around this Monday morning (I'm trying).

Yesterday was really bad food-wise for me. Today, however, is a new day (I love how that works). This morning, I started off light.

Kashi and Total Blueberry Pomegranate Cereals w/blackberries and a spoon of AB. Yum!

Mid-morning, I had a few almonds (very few) and an apple pie Larabar. Didn't make it to the gym this morning. I actually slept right through my alarm and woke up a half an hour late. As soon as I woke up, I wanted to dive right back to sleep. I had forgotten over night how bad my pain is (still - since Saturday morning!!!). I have circuit today in class. That may have to be enough workout for today because I can still just barely walk.

Today is really busy. I work until 4pm in the office (I really hate that). Then, I have school and more work to do tonight. I'm thinking chili dogs for dinner. I've been craving them. I bought turkey franks and a can of veggie chili yesterday at the store. Throw in some whole-grain buns and a veggie on the side and we'll be good to go. A busy day requires a quick dinner. :)

I'm dying right now for starbucks, but I'm really trying to committ myself to saving money rather than spending a fortune on my decaf coffee habit. It really is crazy to spend $4 a day on a coffee, ya know?

Hoping you are all having a beautiful day. Any plans for your Monday?

xoxo

  2. Mondays are never much fun- it's 7pm here so mine is pretty much over.

    I could spend a fortune in Starbucks- something special about their brew! I used to work there and never found out the secret, lol.

    Hope you have a nice day!

  3. Ditto on the starbucks. Im saving like $20 a week not drinking there as often. I only do when I am stressed out, tired, or once a week on a friday :)

  5. I know what you mean; if I had taken all that money I spent over the past few years at Starbucks and invested it in the stock market... well, I would have lost almost all of it. But, you get my point...

  6. AB in cereal... are you sure about that? Is it good? I haven't tried AB yet but I might have to buy some tomorrow during my mid-week shopping trip to Whole Foods. I'll take your word on it lol.

    Starbucks is such a drain-o! Luckily I'm off of it now, but for a while it was sucking the change outa me.
