Today was not a day I was looking forward to…but all good things must come to an end, so back to work I went…
It wasn’t as bad as I anticipated (most likely because I went in with the lowest of low expectations) – how sad that I approach my job this way?! Whatever. The unit was slow-ish, but I still had 3 patients. It was nice to work with Miranda and Jaja at least…
Here’s the lunch I packed the day before.
Smart deli turkey sammie with greek yog, mustard, and lettuce on A street bread.
And then the rest of the snack items with the sando…I had the raisins with my AM coffee, and about a gallon of apple juice throughout the morning. Then at lunch (after I had my healthy sando), I ruined the good streak and I got 2 MASSIVE oatmeal raisins cookies from Bruno’s. What can I say, I don’t do very well with such delicious looking holiday treats in front of my face around the clock.
Sooo…back to work I went for the rest of the shift I was on a mega sugar high. On the way home from work I had a new flavor of Odwalla bar. (Drumroll please) I have new fave ladies and gents…

Super protein = super good. It tastes like a oatmeal raisin cookie but not as sugary. I felt energized enough to go to the gym, but once I got there, I was struggling BIG time. I ran for 15 minutes and then left because I just felt SOOO exhausted. My body isn’t ready for this schedule yet!
After my shower I was far too lazy to be creative with my meal…all I wanted was dinner and sleep! So, I made a chicken salad kinda thing with smart “chik’n” tenders and veganaise.
Then I put that on A street bread with lettuce, mustard, and greek yog…
Talk about a lazy dinner sando!
I was still hungry so FIRST I had something salty (soy nuts from whole foods)…
…and THEN I had something sweet (dates from whole foods)…
…and THEN I had something really sweet š
A big glass of silk vanilla soy milk with 5 vegan cookies from whole foods. Only 2 made the photo (the others were already in my tummy). I had 3 of the oatmeal raisin cookies and 2 of the gingersnap ones. The oatmeal raisin ones were mmmmm, and the gingersnap ones were good, but probably would have been better if they were fresh from the oven. They were a little too hard, so I had to submerge them in soymilk before each bite (not a bad thing). Talk about an assortment of dinner items!
Tomorrow is thanksgiving!!
