Finding the time...

I don't like the feeling when I go too long without a good sweaty workout session! My workouts tend to go like this:

• Monday - Gym after work, usually 40min of cardio, and 10-15 min strength training
• Tuesday - Dance class, 1.5 hours...sometimes really sweaty, sometimes not...depends on what we are doing that day
• Wednesday - I usually stay at my fiance's apt, and go to his wed night soccer games. In the summer I like to wake up early Thursday for a run before work but def. not in the dark and COLD! So lately this means no workout for me unless its some ab work and arm work with my weights I keep there.
• Thursday - Gym again if I don't have anything after work
• Friday - usually nothing...I like to relax after my work week
• Weekends...are hard. I can go to a dance class from 11-1 on Saturdays, but there are very few Saturday's that this time frame is open to me. Sometimes I'll do a gym trip first thing in the morning (have been doing that more lately). Most of the time I have full weekend plans which make it difficult to do anything.

Then there are weeks like this one. I had a great workout Monday, no dance Tuesday (Bruins game = no parking, I had no ride, and had enough work so I stayed late), last night was a Brian's soccer game night and I did some ab work at his apt but that's more bonus stuff than actual exercise to me, tonight I have a bday dinner gathering, so that leaves tomorrow.

I really would prefer to have 4 great workouts but I just feel it's so hard!!! A 40min gym trip involves: getting ready, 10min car ride, workout, drive back, then shower and get ready for the day...so its like you really need to leave about 2 hours for this.

Ahhh...now I feel like I am just complaining...SORRY!!!!

Better things...yesterday's eats!

This breakfast is a Favorite! Underneath that pile of deliciousness is 0% Chobani plain yogurt. Then I top with sliced bananas, strawberries, and a Nature's Path Flax waffle. This is all drizzled with REAL maple syrup!!

I ususally buy Kashi waffles, or the WF's 365 brand...but I had a coupon for the Nature's path waffles so I gave them a shot. I'd say they are pretty good, but not my favorite. I much prefer the Kashi heart to heart waffles...they just taste yummier, more waffle-like! Still you can't lose with this breakfast combo!

Lunch was created from a leftover tray of wraps from a meeting some people had here at the office. There was 1 half of a turkey wrap left...I took out the insides and placed them on a half slice of Great Harvest 9-grain bread...I still am obsessed with how good this bread is!
The wrap filling was: sliced turkey, a slice of bacon, lettuce, tomato, half slice of cheese (I think provolone), and some spread...I think it was like a dressing of sorts...yummy. I also grabbed two pickles and a tiny serving of pasta salad...and I may have ripped off a little corner of the GH bread and topped with Pb for a little extra snacky :)Since this was sort of a "free" lunch, I brought my packed lunch to Brian's since I figured he hadn't hit the grocery store in a while...I was right! Hahha.

I used half of a pita, some of my grilled chicken, some of mom's homemade BBQ sauce, red onion, and a little shredded cheddar jack...toasted!
Eaten with a little side salad...eaten out of a mixing bowl haha!

After his soccer game we hit up Panera so he could eat and I could use the free wi-fi to work on the guest list for the wedding...the knot.com is a great tool for all your wedding planning needs! We are making a big list then it will be time to weed through it..oh the joys. Our venue has a max capacity of 175, but I am hoping to be closer to 150-160 to save more money.

This morning I broke my usual coffee tradition and hit up Dunks!! I have a gift card so I figured I'd save the $3 that I would of used at Starbucks.

I got a DD Latte...they are pretty good in a pinch because I really don't like Dunkin Donut's hot coffee.

As I said before I am going out to dinner for a friends bday at my FAVORITE Mexican place in Harvard Square....Fajitas here I come!!!
