Here’s to another start of the work/school week :).
I set my alarm for 5:45 this morning in order to see if I was feeling any better and to base my decision on the gym off of that. Well, I woke up starving, yep, my appetite is back folks! I immediately went into the kitchen and smeared a big spoonful of almond butter on some bread. The ‘snack’ was gone in a matter of seconds. Then, off to the gym I went.
I took it ‘easy’ at the gym this morning due to having felt a little off the past few days. I think my body needs a little bit of a break and needs to slowly get back into the swing of things. I did: 4.5 miles in 45 minutes on the treadmill. I also did a 10 minute cool-down walk as well.
Now I am at work, sitting in my cube, about to make my breakfast in our kitchen. Here is what we got:
Cracklin’ Oat Bran
Pumpkin Butter
A naner
And Fage
This stuff is really packin’ in the protein. I love it.
Lunch is, you guessed it, leftovers from last night. Â I probably will even eat this cold. I love cold leftover pasta. Anybody else?
And an apple. I need to eat up these small braberns before I dig into my Honeycrisps.
For snack this afternoon, I packed a PB&J Larabar!! I can’t even contain my excitement. Have you tried this flavor yet?
When I was walking to work, I was reading Jenna’s post this morning on my phone. If you haven’t read it, you definitely should. I talks about following your passion and doing what you really want to be doing, not what makes the most money, is the most glamorous, etc.
 I am sure I will be sitting in my cube today wondering if I am really living my dream. I love marketing, and someday want to be a product manager for, what else, other than a food company ;).
I also love food and cooking though. Hmmm… It is something to at least think about. However, I think I need to look into how I can incorporate those two interests into more of a ‘second job’ or activity outside of work to fulfill my passions.
Two questions for you today:
Are you living your passion?
What is your favorite kind of apple?
JUST finished eating my favorite apple = Jonagold 🙂
favorite apple = macintosh (freshly picked by moi from an orchard) 🙂
i also will have a cubicle job when i graduate this summer – but my dream is to make it a corner office 😉 jenna’s post was truly inspiring, i agree!!
ps i had oats with pumpkin + almond butter + almond milk for bfast. loooove that tj’s butter
The pbj are really good — however nothing beats the coconut cream pie flavor for me still! 🙂
I’m not really a huge apple fan. But I want to try honey crisp really bad!
I love cold pasta too.
I’m definitely not living my dream as far as my actual job goes, but I try to write as much as I can and do as many freelance/sides jobs as I can to feel fulfilled. I can’t wait to see where I’m at in 5 years 🙂
Pink Lady is my fav. apple, yum yum yum!
I’m not quite sure I’ve discovered my passion yet…
Have a great day!
omg – Cracklin’ Oat Bran is the.best.cereal.ever!!!! I LOVE IT! I completely forgot it existed until I just saw it here!
Doing what I’m passionate about – mmm, no. But, it’s a living and I don’t hate it, so it’s good for now!
Fave apple has GOT to be Honeycrisp! 😀
Yea, this cereal is pretty much the shizzz… 🙂
I am a soggy cereal girl, so I love to let it sit in milk and half & half and get all mushy!
Totally agree on the cold pasta thing. I really like cold noodles. I read Jenna’s post today too. Really inspirational and made me look to myself to create positive change in my life. Have a fun and ponderous Monday!
YAY I’m glad you’re feeling much better 🙂 And yes cold pasta is deeeelicious. Hot is more satisfying to me, but cold just tastes so wonderful!
I’m currently still in school, but I’m studying my passion – nutrition! I hope to get into my field of choice once I graduate (sports nutrition).
And the best apple is Fuji!! Crisp and sweet 🙂
Have a wonderful Monday love!
i love red deliciuos, Fuji, and Gala apples 🙂
