Good morning!

I managed to get my butt out of bed early this morning so I smashed out a Daily HIIT workout from their challenge (it was a good one) and did the 20 minute Turbo Jam. So there's my 40 minutes for the day :) I do quite enjoy getting it out of the way before work and not having to worry about it after. I can only do this on my late shift weeks though otherwise I'd have to be getting up around 4:00AM... and that is NOT going to happen lol.

I always feel silly bringing so many things to work but I like to make sure I'm not starving. Here are what my lunches look like for two days.

Morning snack: a yogurt cup and grapes. Lunch: romaine salad with hard boiled eggs, sliced almonds, hemp hearts, chia seeds, grape tomatoes, mushrooms, shredded skim milk mozzarella cheese, and balsamic dressing (olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a bit of honey to bind it), and an apple. Afternoon snack: celery and carrot sticks, yogurt cup. The cheerios were to tide me over between my AM snack and lunch. (I had oatmeal for breakfast this day)

Morning snack: yogurt cup and half a large banana. Lunch: romaine salad, grape tomatoes, sliced almonds, hemp hearts, chia seeds, shredded skim milk mozzarella cheese, same dressing as above, and a tilapia fillet. Afternoon snack: yogurt cup. I wasn't very hungry this day on my afternoon break so I ended up eating my apple around 5:30PM (worked until 6:15PM) and had left over veggies for home. The little pancake is my snack between morning break and lunch because this shift throws me off.

Back to work for me! I hope everyone enjoys their day today :)
