So Close
Hello ladies! (and gents?) Thursday is over! I am SO glad it’s almost the weekend- anybody with me?
I apologize in advance for how boring/repetitive today’s food is. I haven’t done a good grocery shop in about 3 weeks, so this is pretty much everything in my fridge (I picked up bread and lunch meat on Tuesday just to get me through the rest of the week, but otherwise I’m workin with the pantry). The GOOD NEWS is that I’m shopping tomorrow! I’m on a little bit of a budget this month (gotta save up for the holidays-lotsa people to get presents for), but hopefully I’ll come home with something exciting.
Breakfast was an egg white sammie on an Arnold’s sandwich thin with laughing cow, and a chobani with a spoonful of pumpkin butter. I would like to point two things out here:
1) I LOVE THESE SANDWICH THINS!!! cheaper than english muffins, sturdier than bread, a HUGE spreadable surface, and DELISH. huge, huge fan.
2) my breakfast had 37 g of protein. HOLY SMOKES. I am LOVIN that greek yogurt- and SO GLAD I snagged some Chobanis from home

Then it was off to class! (I sound so excited…I wasn’t actually that excited this morning. I promise). My protein-filled breakfast kept me full for almost 4 hours, but I brought these snacks to hold me over just in case. I ended up having both in between my 2nd and 3rd classes.
love the name of the bar. TJ, you are a funny guy.
I met up with some friends to chit chat this afternoon- the plan was coffee, but we just ended up talking, so I grabbed a Pria bar at the gym- my stomach was growling, and I don’t run well on an empty stomach!!
After my fabulous, sweaty, tiring run, I ran some errands and then came home for dinner. Turkey sandwich with laughing cow and mustard, and brussel sprouts on the side.
And then my sweet tooth came a-callin. I had some vanilla yogurt with frozen berries…and I was craving PB, so I added that on a spoon. Weird? Maybe. But v. yummy!
That ALMOST did the trick, but not quite, so I smeared a little more pumpkin butter and cream cheese on half a sandwich thin and THENĀ I was satisfied.
Tonight, I’m going out for drinks with a couple of my friends, and then calling it a night. I love that I am past the stage of only considering it a successful night if I get smashed. Sure, that’s fun occasionally, but I love going out, sipping a beer, and just chatting. Plus, I have some stuff to do early tomorrow morning, so I know I will regret it if I am out all night!
See you tomorrow!

Hi! Thanks for commenting on my blog…I can’t believe we’re both in C’ville! What a small world. Maybe when I get a few more miles under my belt with the 10-miler training program we can go out for a run!

Have a fun night!
I love those thins, too. To me, they’re more like flattened bagels and I love that!
