Dripping Wet

The only picture I took all day was of breakfast because the newbie blogger than I am forgot to charge up the battery to the camera. Rookie mistake but I promise I'll get better.
I decided to break down and have some coffee this morning especially since I remembered to bring my mugs back into work. I absolutely hate using styrofoam cups, especially for hot liquids. I mean I understand that they are cheap to buy for the office but I think that they are just terrible little environmental demons. They release chemicals into the liquids and foods that they contain and they are produced from petroleum and I'm sure I don't have to explain what the problem is with that. So I'm glad that I was able to remember so I didn't have to resort to using the darn things. I decided to use the rest of the Oikos Vanilla and topped it with another with peach and some chopped up almonds. Yuuuummy. I'm really getting into the white peaches instead of the normal yellow.

Lunch was the exact same that I had yesterday so I didn't feel the need to take a picture. I had turkey, avocado, and red pepper hots on a whole wheat pita with a side of veggies. I used the last of the food that I bought for the office so I'm going to need to wake up early for another trip to Wegmans in the AM. Oh darn ;) I'm always looking for an excuse to take a trip there and since there is still zero edible food in the house it looks like I'm getting up early. Ugh.

Tonight was the first night actually working out with the trainer. We did a total body workout so that she could get a baseline to see what I could lift and what I could do. Let me tell ya, I found muscles that I forgot I had. I'm definitely going to feel it tomorrow but that's why I know that I had a good workout. I was a sweaty sweaty dripping disaster but it felt great to push it hard. I can't wait to see what she has planned for me next.

Dinner ended up being out with friends to a favorite hang out in Canton, JD's Smokehouse. The BF wanted to go out for beer and wings. It was a challenge trying to find something semi-healthy that I could eat but I went with the turkey burger with mushrooms and a side salad with a vinaigrette. The salad ended up being smothered in Parmesan cheese and was on iceberg lettuce, bleh. It wasn't the healthiest salad but it was better than the seasoned fries that usually come with the burgers. I held back and didn't have any alcohol. Instead I drank a lot of water and had an unsweetened iced tea with a slice of lemon. I felt like I needed to rehydrate after the gym and alcohol would NOT help with that.

Welp I'm off to bed because I'm starting to get droopy eyes. Sorry for the lack of photos but I'll try to make up for it tomorrow. BTW tomorrow is FRIDAY :) Until then...

  1. Hi, Jess! I can't believe we're both in Baltimore, both have family in York, and both have such similar philosophies about healthy living - I love it!!! Looking forward to connecting more. :)
