The past two days have been...ok...! On Thursday, I ended up not working out until 10! Big mistake, I couldn't fall asleep until 4-something and had to wake up at 6 for work. I was so tired, but at least I worked out!
I worked from 7-3 and for breakfast, I had 3 or 4 slices of bacon and a small helping of cubed potatoes. (That wasn't too healthy...oh well.) For my caffeine fix, I drank a cup of green tea with one honey packet. I usually put 2 packets but I'm trying to get used to it not being sweetened, so I'm weening down the amount of sweetener. For lunch, I had a healthy chicken fajita cabana bowl with a salad blend, black beans, guacamole and pico de gallo...it was pretty good! I really wanted some sour cream on there though...but I didn't! I'd also like to note that although I was at work and there's delicious little chocolates and chocolate chip cookies, I refrained! Proud of myself.

After work, I went home and  immediately went to sleep for a nice nap to make up for my 2 hours of sleep. I napped for 3 1/2 hours! I woke up and went to H-E-B to get something for dinner and I tried to get a rotisserie chicken but they were out! So sad. Instead, dinner was a grilled chicken sandwich from whataburger on wheat bread with lettuce, tomato, (no mayo) and added jalapenos, with some barbeque sauce on it from home, then a side of steamed new potatoes instead of fries! mmmm. oh and Brandan tried his hardest to get me to drink some of his sprite (he was testing my will) and I didn't have any :)   I had 2 bloody marys after dinner though...I never drink alcohol so this was a little treat for my Friday night!


Today I woke up around 9:30 and made pasta salad to take to work! I have been wanting some pasta salad and I looked up recipes, and just didn't like any of them, so I made up my own salad! I must say, it's pretty amazing. It's a mix of whole grain rotini pasta and italian dressing (made with EVOO) and I added my own mix of roasted marinated bell pepper(hate raw bell pepper!), banana peppers, sliced kalamata olives, cherry tomato halves, and garlic and herb feta cheese. Best pasta salad I've ever had...go me! After I put my salad in the fridge to "meld", I went to my apartment gym and did about 30 minutes of cardio and some arm workouts. I suprise myself with how long I can jog without stopping! I want to keep trying to jog longer and longer without stopping to walk. I've never been a runner so running for any amount of time is really good! As soon I was done working out I had to get ready for work... I stopped at HEB on the way to work to get that rotisserie that I wanted yesterday, so I have some protein with my pasta salad. It was my first time ever getting rotisserie chicken, and I bought "Honey Jalapeno" seasoned...as soon as I got to work I cut myself off some chicken breast and half of the pasta salad I brought...amazing lunch! I don't know why I've never gotten a rotisserie chicken before... I'm a new fan! Now I'm starting to get hungry again and I'm gonna go for a second helping of chicken and pasta salad...Right now.
