Thrown Together in Less Than Three

Do you all have superpowers or something?

Because I’m feeling SO MUCH BETTER this afternoon and I’m quite tempted to say it’s from all your wonderful get-well wishes. So THANK YOU…I’m on the mend!!

Thanks to my later-than-expected-but-still-super-fun-dinner-out last night, I didn’t end up getting anything prepped for today’s meals. Also unfortunately for me…I didn’t realize it until I opened the fridge this morning. Oops.

So today’s meals were definitely what you’d call a “throw together whatever you can find” kinda deal.

Exhibit A: Breakfast

First, I grabbed the rest of my bag of Kashi Heart to Heart cereal, and threw in another small handful of some of my me & goji Fantastically Festive mix.

Then I paired that with a packet of “in case of emergency” instant oatmeal from my desk at work,

and added in a super-ripe banana. It may not look pretty, but it sure was tasty.

And, of course, the coffee was included in the mix too. It did a fairly good job of holding me over for lunch up until about 45 minutes before…then my stomach was ravenous!

So then it was time to dig into Exhibit B: Lunch

Organized and packed in about 3 minutes flat!

Some mixed veggies + hommus (using the last of my baby carrots bag, which I always do…it saves a baggie!)

Half of a grapefruit + about 3/4 cup 1% cottage cheese. This is an awesome combo, by the way! I also sprinkled my grapefruit with about 1/2 packet of Truvia for a little sweetness.

And a little dose of my looooove: a Honey Graham Clif Z Bar. I think I could eat one of these every day and be totally ok with it.

Not tooooo shabby, right? I mean, for 3 minutes…I was pleased.

Workout

After work, I came home and decided I was feeling well enough for a little cardio session (YAY!) so I hopped on the treadmill and completed my Insane Incline Run routine. I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: these intervals are no joke!

So now I’m about to head into the kitchen and find something to eat quickly, since I have a hot date tonight…

With a masseuse! I’ve hot an Hour Long Swedish Massage waiting for me in a little while, thanks to the gift certificate that Jay got me for our Anniversary. I definitely like the whole paper anniversary thing!

Maybe if I’m lucky enough, this masseuse will massage any of these leftover sick germs right out of my body!

Question for the Evening:

Do you ever treat yourself by getting pampered? Massages? Facials?
