This morning I guess I was moving little slower then normal because I looked at the clock and panicked because I had less than 5 minutes to enjoy my breakfast. I think it is because I didn't prep my lunch the night before. That is a huge time saver... apparently. :) The menu for breakfast included an amazing strawberry, banana and nutella protein shake paired with a sandwich thin with the usual suspects (bananas, nutella and peanut butter). I like to call this shake the Straw-Ella, because I have unhealthy obsessions with both nutella and Rhianna . :)
Straw-Ella
1/2 of a banana
1 tablespoon of nutella
4-5 strawberries
8 ounces of fat free milk ( I am out of almond milk) :(
1 scoop of protein powder
Blend it and you have the perfect Straw-Ella it tastes even better when you are jamming to Rhianna in the background.
If I didn't live alone I would have had someone snap of picture of the dancing.
Today I was excited because I had scheduled a coffee date with one of my favorite people....Eleana. We decided to meet halfway between our offices at a Starbucks. I was so excited to see her baby bump. The bump mysteriously appeared in the last week!! She looked so cute. We had so much fun catching up and made a pack that we would try and do this once a week. I think coffee dates with friends that you don't work with should be MANDATORY at least once a week because it is such a great break from the workplace!
I missed my morning snack today so I was really ready for lunch. I packed a sandwich thin topped with a meatless patty and colby jack cheese for my main course. On the side I had some orange bell peppers and grapes (the portion below is for two days). :) This sandwich was oozing with cheese and really made my heart happy!
My NEW favorite lunch fad!
I was really looking forward to the gym because I am busting out the 45 Minute Scorcher before my dinner date with Tiana & Matt. I was planning on over eating at dinner tonight so I worked my tail off. This workout was even better the second time. I attribute that to pushing myself harder the second time. :)
Unfortunately Tiana had to cancel last minute but Matt and I still met at Thai Ginger for a quick dinner. It was fun catching up but we both were starving so we ordered right away. I love Thai Ginger's Vegetable Curry and was so excited for it to be in my belly.
This curry is to die for!
Dinner was so delish and I have just enough for lunch tomorrow. YES!!! This curry has the best variety of vegetables that I have every found and is the perfect mix of sweet and spicy. I totally recommend this dish! Dinner was short and sweet because I wanted to get home and get organized for tomorrow. I am working out early in the morning so I needed to prep breakfast and lunch for tomorrow.
Today I realized that I need MANDATORY Friend Time multiple times a week. I need at least one coffee date, one happy hour date and one workout date in order to have a great week. Watch out friends I will be contacting you ASAP in order to fill my mandatory friend time!!
