Lets rewind. Yesterday afternoon I had a snack of a pear

and 1% cottage cheese South Beach Diet Brand

How do you like the action shot? haha

After work I headed to the gym for some cardio. I ran for 15 minutes and had to stop. My lungs were burning! I can’t run outside in the cold but I ran on a tredmill last night. Maybe the gym was really cold. I was chilly.  I think I’m coming to the conclusion as Jenna did on her blog Eat Live Run, that I sadly am not a runner. It is just one of those things that I have never been great at and thats ok. Anyways I jumped on the eliptical and did the intervals selection for another 15min.

As previously mentioned it was the bfs birthday and he LOVESSSSPF Changs. He loves Asian food, I always joke that he was Asian in another life. His mom told me once when he was a kid she had to stir fry all the veggies or he wouldnt eat them. haha Anyways so he ordered his favswhich we split, Crispy Honey Chicken, and Beef and Broccoli, and brown rice. I had 4 bites of each, literally I counted them to keep my portions down. As well as some brown rice with soy suace. We also had the best wine. It was a Pinot Noir from Oregon called A to Z, very yummy and fruity warmed me right up and well umm got me tipsey. I was rambling like crazy by the end of the meal. For dessert we of course had cookie cake which was really good! (see yesterday’s post for a pic). Fun times.

Now for today!

I had a dermatologist appointment this morning so I was running around. I made sure to eat something before I left though since my appointment was at 9.

I had NS cereal. Here is the cereal by itself to get an idea of the portion size.

I also threw in a baby banana, my bananas were little this last shop for some reason

Here is the light vanilla soy milk I always refer to which I ate with my cereal. Its just Safeway’s O Organic brand. It’s cheap and good and low on calories and gives me the sweetness I like. Another good brand is 8th Continental Light Vanilla Soy and of course Silk brand but I can’t find their lighter versions very often.  I’m also a fan of Almond Breeze Almond milk but haven’t had it in awhile. The original is actually my fav and is only 60 cals per cup.

The milk next to it is my roomies milk I’m the only soy lover in the household.

Once I got into work it was aroun 10:30 and time for my mid morning snackaroo. I had a Lucerine Key Lime Pie flavor. It was pretty good. Better than yesterday’s thats for sure.

Now you see that cup of coffee next to it. i didn’t get to drink it. I had one sip and then was running around trying to get something for my VP boss lady. I had one sip and it was meh anyways. The decaf coffee in my office tastes funky. I don’t know if decaf just tastes different in general. I haven’t had enough of it to know!

Okwe are almost done with this marathon size post…

Lunch!

For lunch I had my last bit of salad blend withof course a Morning Star Pizza Veggie Burger, also my last one. I need to run to the store tonight and restock. I topped it off with Annie’s Light Raspberry Vinaigrette.

The Rasberry Vinagertte was good. I like the color in the bottle haha it was pretty. It was runnier than I expected but it is a vinagarette. You can def taste the vinagar and a slight sweetness. Overall I like it but I need to try it again to be sure!

The second part of my Lunch was NS Chicken pasta dish that I can’t remember the name of now. It was ok.

Phew and I’m done!
