I started off the day with a 3.5 mile run that I finished in 28:22!
After some stretching, I did some leg work at home with 2 sets of:
- 20 Backward Leg Extensions per leg
- 20 Fire Hydrants per leg
- 20 Leg Lifts per leg
Today I decided to try a new strategy to keep the snacking at bay, by eating 6 small meals rather than 3 large ones.
At about 8:30 I ate a Pineapple 2% Greek Yogurt Chobani!
I was shocked at how long it kept me full – gotta love that about Greek Yogurt!
Right before my 10:30 class, I ate a Banana Bread Lara Bar.
At 12:15 I ate a small apple and a Honey Graham Clif Z Bar that I had brought to school with me.
I didn’t end up leaving school until 4, because I stayed for a talk given by a professor and then did some work on a research assignment. I also had to stop at the bank, so I didn’t get home until about 4:45.
I ate a snack of Annie’s Cheddar Bunnies.
I got some fabulous birthday presents in the mail today!
My brother Craig got me the DVD Paper Chase and Season 4 of Weeds!
And my sister Diana got me 3 cute scarves from Old Navy – she did a great job picking colors! I can’t wait to show these off!
I was able to hold off on dinner until 7pm. I was in the mood for a sandwich so I made a lavash wrap with Laughing Cow Lite, Sabra’s Red Pepper Hummus, romaine lettuce, mushrooms, green peppers, and mustard for a little extra flavor. I ate it with some carrots and honey mustard for dipping (I combined some regular mustard with a little bit of Annie’s Lite Honey Mustard dressing -it was awesome!).
I also had a juicy (much more ripe) peach!
Dessert was Chocolatey Cats (I mean come on what else would it be haha).
I feel a lot better about what I ate today – thanks for the encouragement everyone!
At 10, I’m picking Megan up and driving her to the airport, and then waiting there until midnight when Tyler’s plane gets in. I’m hoping to get lots of reading done at the airport!
I hope you all had a great Friday! I’m so excited that I get to see Tyler in a few short hours! Have a great weekend!
Good job with your eats! You had a late night last night/early early morning. Totally worth it though cause to get to see your BF. Have fun!
hooray for presents in the mail! i love weeds. i am all caught up through season 4. i checked out your other post that i missed and when i start mindless eating i try to just chug some water or do something else to occupy my time. that mindless snacking can be sneaky!
hope you have a great sunday!
banana bread lara’s are my FAV flavor by far! (well havent tried all of them, but so far it is!!)
great workout you have there!
I bet you got alot of reading done at the airport, I always seem to read more when I am traveling or sitting at the airport waiting for my plane!
SCARVES!!! I love scarves and your gift of them looks fantastic! Your wrap sounds really tasty too!
I hope you’re having a great weekend
I’m all about the small meals too. Those scarves are so great! Good run. Thanks for being such a regular commenter on my blog, too! I love the comments.
just found your blog. I’m not sure i’ve stopped by before, but maybe i have in the past. I love what i’ve read so far! so great!
for a nice dessert, try unsulfered and unsweeted dried mango from tj’s. it tastes like candy and kills the sugar craving without the added crap. one of my favorites
hope you’re having a fabulous time with tyler! this third of the pie is wishing she was with you!
