Last night after class I met up with my dad, and our shopping trip took much longer than expected, so I had to rush to grab a couple of groceries, rush back to my parents’ house, where I had a weak moment and gobbled up a couple of handfuls of leftover Whopper’s Eggs from Easter while I was gathering my stuff, and then rushed back to Nick’s to make dinner.
Luckily, the meal was fairly simple, I took the easy way with the rice- trying out Uncle Ben’s new Whole Grain Medleys, so it only took 2 minutes to cook the rice and I could spend the rest of my time on the barbeque rubbed pork chops and steamed green beans. I used center cut bone-in pork chops, and a variety of spices from a recipe in Cooking Light to prepare the pork, which came out moist and amazing. Honestly didn’t take much time at all, and even though there was something like 10 spices, I had them all on hand. I would make this one again for sure! Nick loves pork so he was more than happy I made it.
No dessert last night, dinner filled me up and I think my early evening mini-binge was enough sweets for the night.
I got a good night’s rest, and today I woke up early to head to the gym. I did 30 minutes on the stat bike and 25 minutes of lower body.
Before I left I had ½ a chocolate chip clif bar, and I’ll probably have the other half later for a snack. I packed the usual banana, 0% chobani and trail mix for breakfast on the go.
For lunch, I used the last of my turkey for a Sammie with a light laughing cow, spicy brown mustard and 2 slices all natural turkey on a whole wheat sandwich thin. I had some quite orange sides- a big orange and some carrots. I’ve definitely got my Vitamin C and A all set for the day!
I’ve got some studying to do this afternoon, and then I’m going BACK to the parents’ house to do a couple things I didn’t have time for last night, make dinner (an old favorite!) and get some stuff done at the house. Whew, busy busy busy.
Have a great Thursday! My last full week of classes is ALMOST over! Are any of you almost done as well?
