I had a good day. I started off with a late breakfast eaten while working on finishing my paper. I had a serving of oatmeal (1 cup water, 1/2 cup oats) with half a serving of Newman’s Own Organics Apricots, 1/3 oz walnuts, 1 Tbs. brown sugar.

This was a great combo, and it packed fruit and protein.

I spent the entire morning editing and re-editing my paper. It got to be a little frustrating.

I made lunch for a break: veggies (summer squash, red onion, mushrooms, green peppers), and a 1/3 block of tofu, all seasoned with garlic powder, sea salt, and lemon pepper baked at 350° (veggies for 25 minutes, tofu for the last 15 minutes). This is a flavor packed combo of seasonings, that gives the tofu a real punch!

I finished my paper just in time to leave for my 1pm class (it was a makeup class). I had two snacks, one on the way to class and the other half way through class: a Trader Joe’s Apple and Wild Berry Fruit Wrap and a Clif Kid Chocolate Chip Z Bar.

After class I headed straight to the gym. I got in a great workout, the best part was Megan showed up at the gym about 20 minutes into my workout, so I had her to chat with while I plodded away on the elliptical. I did 57 minutes on levels 7 and 10. It felt great to be active after a long run, rather than just recovering sedentarily!

And of course some Whittling occurred when I got home.

Here’s the breakdown of my Whittle My Middle for the day:

• Plank with Straight Arms: 1:30 min
• Side Plank with Straight Arms:  1:00 min each side
• Bridge: 1:30 min
• Bridge with One Leg Up: 1:00 min per leg
• Plank with Bent Arms: 1:00 min

After my workout, I had another snack with some protein in it: Newman’s Own Organics Protein Pretzels and 1/4 of a Kashi Pumpkin Flax Granola Bar.

I spent part of the evening just relaxing a little and chatting with Tyler and then my dad on the phone about plans for while I’m in Michigan over Christmas.

Dinner was delicious: I had half a box of Annie’s Bunny Pasta and Yummy Cheese and some extra veggies that I roasted up at lunch.

I love macaroni and cheese, I only wish pasta were more filling.

Dessert was another fantastic combo: I microwaved the following for 2 minutes: one cut up apple with 1 Tbs. maple syrup, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, and 2 dashes of nutmeg with 1/2 oz walnuts. Then I added the other 3/4 of the Kashi Pumpkin Flax Granola Bar and 1 serving of Soy Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream. A healthier version of an apple crisp or apple pie!

The rest of my evening was spent watching House and working on Civil Procedure for my final class of the semester tomorrow.

Are you getting excited for Thanksgiving?
