This morning I took a trip to my parents' house, where I spent a bit of time chatting with the 'rents and had 1/2 this HUGE apple for a pre-workout snack:
I spent 35 minutes on the treadmill, walking and running at an easy pace on and off. I sweat a lot and got a good workout in, but I had to take it a bit easy because my legs are still sore from Thursday's leg exercises! After my workout I had the other half of my apple.
When I got back home I was starving for lunch, so I quickly whipped up the most flavorful, protein filled lunch I could think of- my fave ham and cheddar omelet! I used 1/2 a cup egg whites, with 2 slices honey ham and a slice of reduced fat cheddar. It burned a bit because I left it on the burner just a second too long, but it still tasted great! On the side I had some carrots and a couple tablespoons of hummus. I was still hungry after all this, so I grabbed an arnold's sandwich thin and that filled me right up!
Over the course of the afternoon, I studied for every one of my classes- anatomy, anatomy lab, worked on my menu project for food management, two projects for Kinesiology, took a shower, cleaned my room, put away laundry, changed my sheets and made my bed... and still, I feel like I didn't do much.
I did make time for a snack- the rest of the conatainer of 0% chobani (1/2-3/4 cup) with pom seeds!
Yum! Dinner was yummy as well- I was craving comfort food, so I went with one of my fave warm filling combos- chili and sweet potato! I micro-baked 1/2 a small sweet potato and had it along with a can of Spicy Vegetarian Black Bean Chili and a small side salad with spinach/romaine, tomato, radicchio and organge bell pepper with a drizzle of Annie's gingerly viniagrette.
This was a great quick dinner! I'm going to relax a bit and watch this week's episode of Top Chef and maybe do some more work- I'm not sure if I have plans with a friend later or not, so we'll see how the night goes!

Big-ass apple + spicy chili + sweet potato = my favorites.
TOP CHEF IS AMAZING!!! :-D
Enjoy your day!!
o0o I lovee that chili! And your omlette sounds great as well.
Micro sweet potatoes are the best. I will have to try it with chili!
Sometimes it seems like nothing gets done when just studying because there aren't "tangible" results- but you Know that all the studying'll pay off in the long run! I'm sure you were a lot more productive than you realize. Microwaved sweet potatoes are delightfully easy!! I don't Love to use the micro, but sometimes it's so much more convenient!
It may not feel like you got a lot done but it sure does sound like you did!
Comfort foods are always the best :)
