ABC.

Awake before i had to be? what was up with me this morning? that never happens. must be those 8 hours of sleep i got last night. i had time to make french pressed coffee before work.

Breakfast was as planned.. protein oatmeal made with oatmeal and oat bran..but no mighty maple this time! darn. i did use some chocolate PB2 and lots of cinnamon to make up for the lack of my mighty mapes.

Can’t believe how full this kept me~even with the lack of nut butter. 

Dudettes.. your responses and well wishes regarding marshall’s passport touched my heart.  i can’t thank you guys enough~especially those of you who offered some super sweet help in case we get into a bind. we’ve sent off the extra info and paid the expediting fee. crossing my fingers it arrives in time! if not, i will be hollering at those helpers.

Everybody listens to rockin’ tunes while working out! thanks for all the suggestions.

Friday can’t come soon enough. i spent the whole day today feeling like it was wednesday.. and then i realized i was wrong. le sigh.

Good news! i remembered to take all my supplements today. that is two days in a row.. way better than i did in december.

Hunger eventually hit my belly.  instead of eating a turkey wrap as planned, i ended up finding the last of my buffalo chicken salad in my fridge at work! i threw it in a flat out along with some spinach, mushrooms & honey mustard.

Incredible.

January 5th is national whipped cream day. now you know.

Know what?  it is really hard to train people how to do your job.  well, at least for me. i feel bad for lindsay, the girl i am training. she is probably so confused because i am all over the place with my instructions.

Luckily shopping at the office store is a lot easier than training someone. we spent a cool $690 today and it was fun. i got a super cute puppy calendar. i LOVE office supplies. i know this girl can relate.

Maybe this post is really boring, but i am feeling incredibly uncreative and uninspired.. so this is what you get :P

Not even sorry.

Once my tum started growling again i whipped up meal three.. a chocolate banana protein shake made with almond breeze, ice, banana spirutein & chocolate whey protein powder.

Pretty disgusting color.. eh?

Questionable, for sure.

Really.. it was delicious. looks can be deceiving!

Soon after drinking the shake i headed to the gym for my lower body workout.. this is how it went down:

Uhhhh.. not very many words start with “u”. i had my muscle armor after the gym.

Vigorous shaking!
