Figuring Out Workouts

I swear…I think I’ve gotten a better workouts these past two days at work then I have in the past week at home. For whatever reason, my workout routine has become a little stale and I’ve just been lacking any desire to do anything. Even walking! Plus, it doesn’t help that my treadmill is currently standing upright in the corner of the basement, but anyways…

These past couple of days though? Great. I’m on the move, constantly up and down stairs, and definitely not stuck at my desk ALL day. I love it…and I’m pretty sure my glutes are appreciating it right now too. I’m sure once I get myself into a bit more of a routine, I’ll be able to figure out how workouts are going to fit in.

Most of the time, I am definitely a morning workout kind of person; I like it done and out of the way, so I have time to just do whatever it is I have to do once I get home, which is around 5:30pm. If I were to workout in the mornings though, I’d probably have to get up between 5-5:30am, and while I’ve certainly managed with that early start time before, I’m just not ready yet. With time!

So in the mean time, I’m going to continue rocking those stair climbs, and also incorporate some exercises from my office workout (total advantage to having an office with a door!). I’m not fretting about anything, because I know the routine will work itself out eventually…but I figured it was worth mentioning since I feel like I haven’t even mentioned the word "workout" in over a week. Sheesh!

So today was another great day, which started off with a simple and yummy breakfast.

This, however, is an old photo because I’m too lazy to grab my camera which has the picture from this morning…it’s okay though. These look better.

Half was eaten at home…half in the car…since I’m still learning this schedule. Once I got into work, I made myself a cup of coffee (we have a bunch of Green Mountain K-cups in the office – WOOT!)

Today also included THE most delicious lunch out. I was invited out with a few of the girls here, as sort of a "welcome" lunch for me and a "goodbye" lunch for the other girl who will be leaving today. Obviously, I wasn’t about to whip out the camera (yet?), but I can tell you that my meal was the most incredible mushroom ravioli dish, made with sherry brown butter and sweet butternut squash. I’m honestly not usually a huge mushroom person, so I have no idea what compelled me to order it, but my gosh, was it good.

Snacks for the day included another apple cinnamon Chobani mid-morning plus the rest of my banana from breakfast (which, by the way, made my garbage reek of banana ALL day long),

A mid-afternoon granny smith apple,

Notice the new mouse pad I have now?

And a tiny piece of cake which came hand-delivered to me at the end of the day.

Seriously…I couldn’t say no. And I’m glad I didn’t, because it was GOOD.

Right now, I’m thinking that breakfast for dinner is on the agenda. Since lunch was a bit heavier than normal, a light, easy dinner sounds like the perfect meal. Maybe an omelet?

*Edited to change…no omelet for dinner. By the time I got home, hubby was hard at work on a full sirloin steak dinner with potatoes and green beans. God. I. Love. This. Man.

Time to go help him out! But hey, be on the lookout for a fun post tomorrow morning…I think you guys are going to enjoy it!
