Today was a short day for me! One of my meeting’s got canceled, so I decided to leave an hour early from work to get a head start on my to-do list (excuse my chicken scratch!):
See? I would be just getting home right now, and look what I’ve already crossed off! There’s just something so gratifying about crossing items off of a to-do list, don’tcha think?
I made sure to take a break to give some lovin’ to Niko, too:D
Poor tired monkey just woke up from a nap.
Now I just need to wash my make up brushes, sync up my iPhone with my laptop (for instant wireless internet anywhere,) and add one more item to the list – making a meal plan.
Caitlin at Healthy Tipping Point inspired me to make a system for meal planning. I always go to the grocery store, and spend way too much money, only to get home and realize I don’t have everything I need for a recipe. So, I’m adapting her version of meal planning (well, the binder part, at least) and putting my own spin on it. Thanks for the idea, Caitlin! 😀
Work was fairly mundane again today (don’t worry, tomorrow it’s gonna be a crazy one :-/) However, I totally forgot my breakfast on the way out the door! I was planning on having Nature’s Path Optimum Zen cereal. Thankfully, I keep a stash of Dark Chocolate Dreams in my desk drawer, and I grabbed a banana as I ran out the door, thus breakfast. 😀
Of course, that didn’t satisfy me for long, so I grabbed an Oiko’s with honey, and noshed on some peanuts.
Evidence 😉
I used what I made for dinner last night as a variation for my lunch today. I simply took the eggplant part of the meal and sandwiched two sliced between an Arnold’s Sandwich Thin, along with some raw goat cheddar.
With an apple on the side. SO good! I’m glad I switched up the ol’ leftovers:)
After lunch, my sweet tooth was nagging at me, so I quieted it with two of these little treats:
Then did a little more work and called it a day! I wish every day could be a short day.
I just finished doing some strength training – legs and glutes today, so I did my butt-boosting routine. I haven’t done this in a while, so I expect to be in some (good kind!) pain in the morning 😉
I use the 15 pounders for these exercises (I wish I had 25 lb dumbbells!)
Now I’m off to start preparing Chicken Enchiladas, a la The Fitnessista!
Question: Do you always have the same workload each day at work? Or are some days super boring and some super crazy-busy?
