Wednesday was a busy one – I actually made myself get right out of bed in the morning. And straight to breakfast with my newly restocked oatmeal supply.
My usual mix of oatmeal, water, almond milk, half a banana, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice and topped with two of my favorites: peanut butter and fig butter.
I had plans to walk with Dawn, but unfortunately she was feeling under the weather. Luckily though I made it out the door myself and she kept me company on the phone as I walked for a full hour. Go hip go!
At 10 I headed over to my therapy appointment and then over to my parents’ house to prepare for teaching. My workday started earlier than usual (noon) and really my only chance to eat was before that time.
I waited until 11:40 and scaled back my lunch a bit:
- 1/3 cup brown rice
- big scoop of baby spinach
- three bean chili
- 1/2 ounce cheddar cheese melted on top
I was still pretty hungry by the time 5:45 rolled around, but the chili helped.
The other day at the store I bought a few kinds of bars to experiment with and I tried this Luna protein bar in the car on the way to rehearsal. Yum. Still feel like I should work on making my own bars, but haven’t researched that yet.
The bar (and my new obsession with tea in my thermos) held me over until rehearsal break at 8:40.
And look, all prepped the night before!
I ate my hard boiled egg and sandwich with laughing cow, baby spinach, and tempeh. I ended up splitting my carrots with some friends and I actually skipped the two dates. I packed them in case I felt in need of some dessert, but I think the chocolate peanut buyer bar satisfied my sugar cravings.
Despite the hour long drive to and from rehearsal tonight, I enjoyed my car mates. Unfortunately, I accidentally left my physical therapy exercises until I got home at 11pm. Not quite what I was in the mood for at that point, but I did manage to complete a (slightly shortened) version of my routine before heading to bed.
