Thursday

Have a session with the trainer tonight. Excited for it. Haven't worked out in a few days.

I had a few Hershey's kisses in the morning sometime. I also had some plantain chips.

2:00 p.m: I missed lunch today and it worked out to my benefit. There was leftover from a client meeting. Woohoo! It was alright though. Veggie wrap and Greek salad.

3:00 p.m: Delicious slice of banana bread

Exercise (7:00 p.m): Ran 5k. Usual 38 mins like clockwork. How!?! Not 37, not 39... 38.

8:30 p.m: 2 hard boiled eggs, kale chips, tempeh. Didn't finish the tempeh. Over it.

Wednesday

Hmm, no breakfast today. I survived I suppose.

12:15 p.m: This damn vegan place around the corner is pretty good but they always have rice. I should just not eat the rice. Today was an eggplant and tofu stir fry in black bean sauce.

4:00 p.m: Handful of chips.

8:00 p.m: Friend's birthday dinner at a Mexican place. It was so good. I had guacamole and nachos to start. Then, veggie enchiladas and deep fried ice cream for desert. Um, deep fried ice cream... AMAZING. It was very cinnamony. Love. Go to Mariachis

.

Tuesday

Why do people like summer? Ugh.
I'm so hot and bothered right now I want to go home.
Last night I was in a crap mood. All night. Again this morning. WTF.

7:45 a.m: One hard boiled egg

2 Hersheys kisses.

12:30 p.m: Veggie Thai curry with brown rice. Lentil soup. Really full.

I got home and put on the A.C. Then it was comfortable city. I fell asleep on the couch and it was so damn nice. Anyway, I woke up at like 8 and said F this, no gym, dinner time. Kept it healthy though!

8:30 p.m: Scrambled eggs and brusel sprouts

I spent the rest of my night with my ipod blaring Cranberries and Bryan Adams into my ears. Ah, good headphones. Can't go wrong. Random music? Yes.

Isn't this a great song? It never gets old.

Monday

Gonna be hot and humid today. Oh man. Scared.

10:00 a.m: Apple slices with almond butter and cinnamon

1:00 p.m: Salad. Ingredients are all on the pic below. It was ok. I remember it tasting better last time. I also had a banana after. $10.99 my ass. I could have made it for like $4 at home.

6:30 p.m: Protein drink

9:00 p.m: Late dinner. Felt shitty so I napped.

Girl talk.

This has been an interesting week. I bought a LOT of shoes. I don't know what happened. Anyway, I brought them all home and tried them all on to determine comfortability (they're all wedges) and two failed and are getting returned. Actually, they were pretty comfortable but I did the smart thing and am returning on the fact that they aren't going to be as used as they should be. They're more different and frankly it'll be one of those shoes I'll only wear a few times. I can't afford that.
I bought two at Zara. This was one. Very cute and comfy too but I tried it on with like a million outfits and it will only match a few. Sooo... returned! But thought I'd document them anyway, I mean they ARE awesome.

In other news, on Friday at lunch I got my first tattoo. Omagad. It just... happened. Well, not completely. I've been wanting something for ages. I love tattoo's but have been to chicken and really just needed to know what it felt like before committing to something huge. So, I kept it simple. I like it. Even if I didn't, too late! :) It's the rest of my life right? Hah. I don't care. When I'm 50 I'll look back and say "That was me at 27 and I'm proud." It has no story, no meaning.. it's just, art. A little token that will always remind me of who am I today. I like it.

Fresh and scabby! ;)

Sunday

12:00 p.m: Breakfast. 2 eggs omelet with butter, put spinach and goat cheese in it. Tempeh as my bacon.

Exercise (4:00 p.m): Ran 5k. 38 mins, as usual. WTF! It's odd. Never even a minute off.

5:15 p.m: Protein drink.

6:00 p.m: Dinner. I'm not a rabbit, I swear. This couldn't be any greener. Meh. Kale chips with brussel sprouts and broccoli.

It was a real nice night. Went to a friends condo but she has a great big balcony so we sat out there and played games. At one point the guitar was busted out and I think I enjoyed that part most. Good music was played. I think I liked the whole thing because it was outside with the quick escape of being inside if it got too hot. It was a perfect night though. Not too hot, not too cold. Gonna suck when it gets hot.

Friday

It's going to be F-ing hot today. I'm scared and uncomfortable already.
I am wearing a dress *gasp* so hopefully it helps a bit. Although I feel uncomfortable in it. One of those "I look like a clown" days today. Someone assures me I don't, I don't believe you! hah.

I said April was gonna be my month of like hardcore but ya, that failed. May - happening. Fo sho.

No Internet at work. What do I do?!?
Considering all I can do is use my phone, this is what I'm doing.
