Today I have jury duty. I commit to: Eating only food I brought (unless I have to stay through lunch, in which case I will find a salad somewhere), getting 60 min of cardio no matter when I get home, and drinking my water, no matter what. Everything else has to be a bit flexible. Dinner will be a giant salad w/ grilled flank steak and veggies
I was unable to get my exercise in. I came home and was incredibly exhausted (lots of stress this morning, got home at odd hours, really crazy lack of sleep). I will do some yoga before bed. Food was good, though.
Amanda, sometimes sleep is more important than exercise!
Wednesday:
B - oatmeal, raisins, apple butter, skim milk
L - leftover risotto & frozen veggies
S - banana, 100 cal pack of pretzels
D - tomato chickpea curry, rice
E - dog walk

Yeah, it was definitely a fully conscious decision not to exercise because my body was not up for it. I took a nap instead and woke up not feeling like my eyes were going to close. No regrets, even if it wasn't what I planned.
Today's plan:
B - Bagel thin, cream cheese, deli turkey
S - Cheese/sliced ham/strawberries
L - Leftovers: Giant grilled steak and veggie salad, parmesan ranch dressing
S - Protein shake
D - Braised beef in wine, onions, garlic, and tomato, served over creamy polenta, with a side of roasted asparagus.
S - NSA Ice Cream, strawberries
E - 60-70 min incline trainer, 60-70 min strength. Going to try doing strength first today to see how it goes, normally I do cardio in the mornings and strength in the afternoon.
Well, this was sort of a victory and a failure at the same time. I just ate a 100-cal pack of pretzels that I had stashed in my "emergency food" drawer. It's a failure because it was an unplanned snack, but a victory because first I went to the breakroom too see if there were any healthy-ish leftovers, and there was a big plate of CAKE there with frosting flowers (I do so love cheap frosting flowers). I did not eat the cake, instead I went back to my desk and had the emergency pretzels.
Now I am just hoping the expiration dates on pretzels are meaningless, since these expired two months ago! Oh well. 100 cals of expired pretzels beats cake.
Thursday:
B - oatmeal, raisins, apple butter, skim milk
L - broccoli mac & cheese stuff
S - banana
D - pasta w/tomato, garlic, evoo, broccoli, green beans, kidney beans, asiago
E - dog walks
