This is the stuff that I packed to take with me today:
- Gym clothes and sneakers
- Shower stuff, including a change of clothes
- Wallet, camera, iPod, phone, and planner (these items are with me at all times)
- Lunch + snacks in lunchbag
- Iced coffee in travel mug
So, why the heck do I need all of this crap stuff? Well, after work, I am planning to hit the gym for a workout, shower-up, and then attend an event about eating local in New England. I will be on-the-go from 7:30 AM until about 9:00 PM.
I have no idea how I used to do this every single day as a student… or even last fall when I worked full-time and part-time (at Healthworks) and blogged, which was totally insane! Going from one thing to the next to the next is exhausting. I don’t miss it at all!
Today’s lunch was leftover penne with Arugula-Pecan Pesto sauce, carrot sticks, a blood orange, and an dark chocolate Adora disk. I mostly covered all of the nutritional bases with the exception of little protein, but I make up for it with my afternoon snacks.
Carrot sticks…
The whole meal with raspberry-lime sparking water…
Snack #1 is yogurt and fresh strawberries, which is a pre-workout snack.
Snack #2 is a Pure Bar, which is a post-workout snack to hold me over until I get home for dinner.
I’m off to buy some hot coffee (maybe tea?) from the Cafe Gato Rojo and then I am back to work!
Happy Monday! Lets hope the day keeps flying by!
