FOOD

Yesterday started out with another juice.  This one was tomato, cucumber, lemon, and parsley.  I was nervous because I hate parsley, but I know it has some amazing nutritional benefits (most things we think of garnish does), so I’m on a mission to find a way to stomach it.  Turns out, that works best for me by juicing I think.  It was surprisingly tasty.  I think the highly juicy tomatoes and cucumber masked the parsley taste, which is just fine with me.

Lunch was a Mexican BAS before heading to the movies.

Of course one cannot go to the movies without popcorn.  At least not this one.  I had about half of a small bag of plain popped corn.

Dinner ended up being a green smoothie.  I wasn’t feeling a big meal, so that worked out well.  Then I got cold and crawled into bed with a heating pad wrapped around my feet.  Long story.

This morning I made a double batch of smoothie.  I drank half when I got to work and packed the other half in a thermos and stuck in the fridge at work, just in case.

Lunch was a 3-tiered bento of awesome.  Tier 1 – veggie snacks.  Tier 2 – tofu stir fry.  Tier 3 – cabbage and kale slaw salad thingy with the lemon/hemp dressing I made before.

Side note.  S gave me hell on Facebook for having a plastic fork.  I AM SORRY.  I forgot to pack either my fork or chopsticks, so it was either use a plastic fork from work or eat with my hands.

Dinner ended up being wicked late at the office, so it’s a good thing I had a cold smoothie just waiting for me.  That was dinner.

Two points for me actually being prepared today!

FITNESS

I did a workout DVD yesterday.  I didn’t make it to the group run at the ocean front.  I just couldn’t make myself set an alarm on another weekend day – especially since I know I’m in for a heck of a rough week this week.  I decided that if I woke up on my own in plenty of time, I’d go.  If not – I’d do something else.  It was a something else kind of day.

LIFE

Yesterday D and I went to the movies!  If you know me, we’re a big movie loving family.  We quote them constantly, and I have a memory about actors that rivals IMDB.  So yesterday was a happy day.

We saw Django Unchained, which was just awesome.  People are either Quentin Tarantino fans or they’re not.  Thankfully, both D and I are.  I won’t go into any big movie review, but if you like Quentin Tarantino flicks (Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs, etc.), you’ll enjoy this.  If not…well….then skip it I suppose.

Today was back to work.  It’s funny though, I woke up this morning quite excited about it being Monday and going to the office.  Not that I ever don’t like what I do, but thought it was a weird feeling for an early Monday morning.  Oh well, I’m going to roll with it.

It was a 10 hour day and I have a billion things to do (though we all do, so it’s not like I’m special or anything…well…I am, but not because of my to do list).  I didn’t get everything on my list done by a long shot, but I did get everything on my “can’t go home until it’s done Monday” things done.  Which is probably why I was there until 630.

I swung by the pool to see D and to watch R swim for a bit, and then came home to make them dinner.

Now…I plan to be asleep in an hour, so Happy Monday!  Hope you had a good one 🙂
