A lunch mishap
I am the clumsiest person I know. While I was making my lunch I dropped a piece of the rye bread on the floor. Into the garbage it went. tragedy! So I had an open faced sandwich not on purpose.
Last night while making my dinner I grilled 2 portobella (sp?) mushrooms. I made a make your own lunch kit with 1 oz of goat cheese, 1 mushroom, 2 pieces rye bread, and the rest of a bag of fresh spinach. I assembled the (now OPEN FACED) sandwich and popped it in the toaster oven for a few minutes. I only used about 2/3 of the goat cheese bc that was plenty. It was delicious!
Seen here, on a bed of the leftover spinach (eaten with a fork):
See my little Dove trying to peek out from the side of the plate? Yeah, I ate that already!
Around 10:30 I had a snack of a cucumber with almost a tbs of hummus. By the way, I drink tea and hot water at work all day, and have one can of Polar Seltzer water with lunch. I also sip regular water. I am a drinking machine!
I have two big snacks planned for today since I won’t be able to eat dinner until after 7 or 8 tonight. I’ll post them before I leave work!
I am feeling very positive and happy today. I am wearing a cute necklace, I have yummy snacks packed, and I had an amazing walk this morning. i really think even a teeny bit of exercise before starting work perks me up. My tips for waking up early:
1. go to bed early!
2. lay your clothes out the night before
3. plan a good route or playlist so you are EXCITED for your workout
4. leave slippers right by your bed so the cold floor doesn’t deter you from getting up and dressed!
Do you have any tips for me? Please share!
I definitely need to try laying my clothes out the night before.
I drink constantly throughout the day too – water bottles, hot tea, and a diet soda with lunch (but I’m trying to quit that).
I am glad you are positive today! Nothing like cute accesories to boos your mood.
My tip for waking up … plan a delicious breakfast the night before. 🙂
My trick is tha ti know when I get up I can have something to eat 🙂 I always have half a z bar to wake me up and get me motivated.
I love the plates by the way. Do you bring those to work with you?
I offer to drop my daughter off at high school every morning to ensure that I get my a@@ out of bed at 6:30 every day. I don’t have to leave my house for work until 8:30 (10 minute commute), so there is no excuse not to exercise in the morning.
Yet, I have been known as the snooze queen most of my life! But knowing that someone is depending on me makes all the difference.
No worries, I too am a klutz in the kitchen 😉
I’m naturally an early-bird, so I don’t have an issue getting up early. But hey, getting enough rest definitely helps!! Oh and drinking LOTS of water upon rising, before eating anything.
maggie- i replaced my diet coke with a seltzer a year ago and I haven’t looked back since. i still get the fizzy goodness without all the fake stuff. give it a shot!
hangry- my only problem with that is that I don’t eat til after my workout, so if I snooze I still get my yummy bfast hahaha
graduate meghann- Yeah, I bought them the other day and I have been washing them in our kitchen sink. I’ll probably bring them home over the weekend to throw them in the dishwasher for good measure.
Biz- wow that must be a great motivator. I think I would workout every morning if I didn’t go to work until 8:30, maybe when I join the true corporate america next year?!?!?!
VG- hmm, I will try drinking water Friday and see if it does me any good! thanks for the tip!
Great tips! I go to the gym at work every morning. I put all my stuff together by the door the night before (clothes for work, lunch bag, purse, etc)….also have coffee pot ready to go so I just have to turn it on. And definitely get work out clothes laid out too. Basically anything I can think of so all I have to do is get up and go (and not have to think about anything). Love your blog BTW
Julie- Thanks for your tips and compliments!
did you see my disaster in the kitchen?? lol, that sandwich looks great 🙂 I was going to mention, since you’re having trouble with your ankel… I’ve trained for a 10miler and 1/2marathon on running 3d a week due to my own foot/alignment/knee issues. It really can work, if you have any questions let me know! Taking up cycling and swimming has been a godsend!
