Tuesday 3/19/13

Since I posted mid-day yesterday I didn't get a chance to write about my workout or dinner. When I got home from work I headed right to the gym. I had a goal of run/walking 3 miles in less than 45 minutes. I just made it!

Even though I ended up finishing about a minute faster than last week, I felt like I was running significantly more. Apparently I wasn't, but maybe when I have a real goal in mind it feels like I'm working harder, rather than just going with how my body feels. Something to think about.

When I got home I had another homemade pizza for dinner! This time we used pizza stones to try to make it cook more throughly. They still weren't perfect but we're getting there! The pizza stones also totally helped with portion control. They have an 8-inch diameter so there's no way to go crazy and eat a giant pizza.

On the side I had some roasted brussels sprouts I picked up from the grocery store and cucumbers:

Today was another snow day here in Boston! This is getting crazy. I don't think I actually HAD to skip work today, but my boss commutes and the morning roads were terrible so we all stayed home. The joys of working in a team of 4 I suppose!

Tom also got to work from home so we had a lazy day of working in our pjs. Looove it.

Working from home also means we get weekend style breakfasts on a Tuesday. I was in charge of the omelettes and Tom was in charge of the bacon. I had an omelette with 1 egg, 2 egg whites and cheese, a few slices of turkey bacon, a piece of toast with butter, and some watermelon:

I was really proud of Tom's omelette (even though it's a little burnt) because it was the first time a made one with other ingredients! His had sausage, mushrooms and cheese (and real bacon):

Since we ate breakfast later than normal I never had a "real" lunch. Throughout the day I snacked on more watermelon, some raw veggies, a piece of toast with nutella, a string cheese, and a reeses egg.

I had a quick dinner of Progresso's low sodium Italian wedding soup, some carrots, an orange and another string cheese:

I also had a couple of Tom's pierogies...they looked too good to pass up trying some!!

I didn't end up going to yoga tonight because I didn't feel like going out into the freezing rain/snow. I actually thought the gym might close or classes would be cancelled but their website said:

The Gym is OPEN today, Tuesday 03-19-13!!!

We Refuse to acknowledge snow in March so we will be open regular hours today, 5:30am-9:30pm!    

LOL. This just means I need to add another workout into my week, which shouldn't be a problem at all. Now it's time for an episode of Top Chef before bed. Good night!
