>Happy Wednesday. Today is day #3 of my 3-11:30pm shifts at the hospital. Thursday I’m off – and man am I looking forward do it!
Yesterday I woke refreshed at 7am and started my day. Who am I kidding? I peeled myself out of bed at 10:30, make a quick Berry Berry protein smoothie, then headed out for a run before work. This time, I did actually dress appropriately. Recently, I’ve been making it a point to run a few sets of stairs and do push-ups (I’m up to about 25 real ones) mid-run.
Yesterday it was the steps in front of the Lincoln Monument:
Do you ever stop mid-run to do crunches, push ups, yoga, etc? It’s a nice way to break up the run and get in some muscle-toning action.
When I returned, I refueled with a gigantic protein-packed salad monster.
Spinach, deli turkey (all natural version. Many kinds have gross fillers and preservatives), low-fat cottage cheese, garbanzo beans, cherry tomatoes, red grapes, Laughing Cow cheese wedge (light swiss version), sea salt, pepper, and a 1:1 mixture of Goddess dressing and balsamic vinegar.
Goddess + Balsamic = salad dressing heaven
Work was insanely busy, as usual. I snacked on a new protein bar. Ever try these?
20g protein. Kept me full til dinnah-time. Thanks to those of you that Tweeted some other all natural versions to try.
Next up:
– Zing Bars
– Perfect Foods Bars
– Clif Builder bars
– Kind Bars
Am I missing any good ones?
Last night I broke out this box that had been collecting dust in my pantry
I added cooked shrimp, peanut butter, and honey and they were pretty darn good.
Okkkkk, I’m going to get off my butt now after RHNJ is over, head to the gym, then to work. Weeeeeeeee! <—-sarcasm
