It's So Hot....Milk Was a Bad Choice....

Yeah, it's really hot outside.  And humid.

In between:  smoothie with: 1 frozen banana, blueberries, strawberries (old fruit in fridge I had to get rid of), scoop of vanilla protein powder, handful of spinach, coconut milk

Brunch = iced coffee (made coffee last night and put in fridge to chill), croissant with mastica

For lunch: leftover black (squid) pasta with tomato sauce and some ricotta cheese.  Actually really good!

While at work, I had two chocolate chip granola bars (free from the Nike birthday party on Saturday) and a pumpkin spice granola bar.  (Oh, and a green lollipop)

On my way home, I had a bag of baked Cheetos (again, free from Pegasus birthday party).

Dinner was roasted brussels sprouts and avocado; then taco meat with avocado, cheese, tomato, and Greek yogurt (not sour cream).  For the taco meat, this morning I put 1 lb. of ground beef in the crockpot with about 2 TBSP of taco seasoning (from the Spice Shop in Princeton) and 1c of water.

Last but not least, I had some gu chomps and one more croissant with mastica.

Good night!

Let's Make This Quick

All right, so it looks like most of my blog posts are probably just going to be a quick recap of my workouts and food each day.  And you know what, I am ok with that.  

This morning I started off with a (unpictured) croissant with mastica spread (from Turkey!).  I slept in because I wasn't working today, so I decided to eat something first before working out since I had more time.  My workout for the day was:

P90X Core Synergistics

Then came lovely coffee, and food interspersed throughout the afternoon (12-6):

really garlicky.  my mouth started tingling.  yum.

put pumpkin spice on anything and i will eat it.

leftover saladworks cobb salad

had one of these little babies.  ooo yeah they're good!

finished off this carton of blueberries.

Then I headed in to work for a meeting with Asics Joe.  He got us dinner from Olives, so I had a roast beef hoagie (of course, how could I not) - roast beef and provolone on a roll with lettuce tomato onions and oil/vinegar.  And we tried some potato chips on the side: I had mostly sea salt chips, but the funky fiesta flavor was definitely the best.  Lots of vinegar and paprika on those.  And I had about 3/4 of a wheat beer: Troegs Dreamweaver.  So not a hugely healthy end to the day, but I stayed inside out of the heat, so that was good.  And I did eat a lot of healthy food.
