    Hey guys, quick post because I have to get to bed early so I can wake up for my 7 AM pilates class. I got out of work really late tonight, and went to Modell’s to get a bathing suit and swim goggles. I’ve been thinking about adding swimming to my workouts for a while, and I think I’ll kick it off this weekend! I’m really pleased that I’ve been expanding my workout routines - it’s really been very satisfying! My lunch was definitely too small - before I left work I had an iced coffee and a new flavor of Luna Bar: Chocolate Raspberry.

    It was good, but not great - I could definitely taste both the chocolate and the raspberry, which I wasn’t expecting. Still, it could have been better. Snack was 190 calories, 27g carbs, 5g fat, and 9g protein.

    When I got finally got back, I only had time for one thing: cook dinner or go to the gym. P told me to go to the gym (he knows how I get minus gym time :) ) so he ordered in sushi while I worked out. I did the Cardio Smorgasboard again, and I had an amazing workout! Awesome calorie burn! Cardio Smorgas = 558 calories burned.

    Before I worked out, I had an Ezekiel English Muffin Cinnamon Raisin with a tbsp Almond Butter:

    Pre Workout Snack was 175 calories, 21g carbs, 9g fat, and 7g protein.

    The blog has allowed me to analyze my eating, and I’ve realized how often we eat out! I feel like that might be a product of New York - there’s always a new, delicious restaurant to try! I feel like I make good choice 90% of the time, so it’s okay. Let me know your thoughts…

    For dinner, I had a bowl of miso (a great starter to fill up on) plus 2 salmon rolls, 4 tuna rolls, and 4 spinach rolls, and edamame.

    Dinner was 387 calories, 50g carbs, 8g fat, and 31g protein.

    Night all!

    Thanks Betsy! That’s how I feel about it too…anywhere else, all the time. For a New Yorker, almost never. Most of my friends/colleagues eat out 2-3 times a day!

    oooh - Luna Bars! My fave is Lemon Zest though Nutz Over Choc is good too. Yesterday I tried these new Fiber One bars for the first time - chewy and sweet with a ton of fiber (9g per bar!) highly recommend.

    Hey Leslie! I do love a good Luna Bar…I have a Chocolate Pecan Pie one at home that I CANNOT wait to try! So far the Minty/Chocolate one is my fave! You know, I’ve heard reviews that those Fiber One bars have alot of not-so-nice ingredients and a ton of sugar - I love the cereal though!
