Lunch… A Little Late

August 31, 2009

Holy Monday! It was a busy one! 8-O

I had a wonderful workout at Healthworks this morning. I started with a 15-minute Power Abs class followed by 40 minutes on the elliptical, while reading Body & Soul magazine and catching up with the news.

Today’s workout made me miss my early morning sessions at HW. I really need to visit more often! It’s such a great start to the day!

After my workout, I showered-up and grabbed an iced coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts before heading to work.

Check out all of the crap stuff that I lugged around with me today!

Lunch was rather rushed today, but its deliciousness made up for it! I had ham, cheddar cheese, and Dijon mustard on an Arnold Sandwich Thin with green grapes and a Pure Bar on the side.

The Dean also had a very busy Monday, so I offered to grab her lunch from Au Bon Pain. I ended up leaving with a little treat for myself! ;-) I suppose my M&M cookie made it Cookie Monday for me! :mrgreen:

Mal is on the agenda for our “family dinner” tonight. I’m really looking forward to his meal! :-D

Carrying that many bags on the T is the worst. I feel your pain Tina. Do they have lockers you can rent at Healthworks?

I’m getting into early morning workouts this semester too! It’s such a great way to start the day.

I’m really terrible at getting up early enough to do a morning workout but I also really love it when I do! I might give it a go this week!

Whenever I get in my early morning workouts it makes me miss when I did them regularly. I really need to get back in the habit.

Enjoy your family dinner. I can’t wait to read what Mal whips up :-)

Working out first thing is the morning is always so refreshing. What a great jumpstart to your day! Yesterday was cookie Sunday at my house. Hehe. This is actually the first time I’ve visited your blog. I will for sure be checking it out in the future!

I made it a cookie Monday too! The chocolate chip cookie I had was out of this world, in fact I may be going back for a second. Yikes! Awesome on the early morning workout, I love that feeling too!

I love starting my day with a sweat session; I always feel so much more focused! It’s tough for me to fit one in though because I already wake up at 5:30 for work…

Yum @ your cookie! Love the M&Ms in it!

After a great am workout and a productive Monday, you totally deserved to reward yourself with a cookie Monday. Now, I hope that doesn’t mean this cancells out cookie Friday! ;)

This could very well be a double cookie week. (Sometimes those are inevitable)

Enjoy your wonderful dinner tonight with your wonderful hubby.

Love all of your bags! My husband told me I looked like I was going to climb Everest this morning. A girl’s gotta pack snacks, lunch, and workout gear! :)

Hey, Tina… quick question: Do you prefer the Multi-Grain or Whole Wheat Sandwich Thins?

Reply

Tina September 1, 2009 at 6:20 am

@Heather: Either, I guess. I believe that the ingredients and nutrition are mostly the same.
