Well I had another victory against the office goodies this afternoon, wahoo! It’s funny - for months they didn’t bother me, and now I’m back under their spell. Just goes to show you - weight loss is an ongoing battle! It definitely knows how to humble you. I also succeeded at the going away party! On the way there I had my pre workout snack: a new flavor of Luna Bar, Nutz Over Chocolate.
It was great! Luna is definitely my favorite type of bar. (Excuse my desperate need for a fresh manicure!) Pre Workout Snack was 180 calories, 24g carbs, 5g fat, and 10g protein.
At the bar I had my club soda and lime as planned. I didn’t miss a beat with the rest of my coworkers who were drinking and no one even noticed that I didn’t take a shot with the rest of the gang. Definitely a success!
Afterwards I headed over to CP to hit up some cardio. I really couldn’t keep focused on cardio today! I must have worked on every type of cardio machine - twice! Plus I ran the track and used free weights, did mat work - people must have thought I was crazy! After that I swam for a good 30 min. I loved it! Cardio Smorgas = 483 Calories Burned.
When I got home I made a quick dinner of smoked salmon, feta, tomatoes, capers, and spinach on a whole wheat tortilla.
I also had some frozen strawberries and frozen blueberries heated up over some 0% Fage with a little unsweetened coconut.
Dinner was 507 calories, 64g carbs, 17g fat, and 27g protein.
I’m really pleased with myself today - I did a good job meeting my goals! On my walk over to CP I noticed an exciting sign a few blocks from my apt:
If that’s not something sweet to dream about, I don’t know what is! Night!
i’m officially jealous of you going to chelsea piers.
Oooh, the Simple Kitchen - sounds like it’ll be a great place!!
You did a great job!
And tag your it!
Yum! I LOVE smoked salmon! One of my favorite breakfasts (or dinners) is an omelet with asparagus, smoked salmon and a laughing cow cheese wedge. It’s delicious and healthy and makes me feel like some professional chef using all these decadent ingredients : )
Oh, and thanks to you (and the rest of the food blogging world) I’ve decided to give my own blog a shot. It’s still in the works, but check it out!
