I survived Monday, did you? It was a rather long day for me – over 14 hours commuting, working and running. But it was a great day.

A brief recap – [photos to come later]

Breakfast: Kashi chewy granola bar

Lunch: 1 salad with a 1/8 cup chicken breast tossed in for extra protein; 1 piece of WF whole wheat bread with basil and tomato hummus

PM Snack: greek yogurt and blueberries

[a 1.2 mile walk from work to the train – I opted for public transit yesterday so that I could read my book]

On the train home – prerun I was still hungry, so I had a 95 calorie Larabar – the cherry pie flavor (it was perfect)

An hour on the elliptical at the gym (giving my knees a much needed break after covering 13.6 miles over the weekend [Friday, Saturday & Sunday]). I covered 5.2 miles and I got an hour of reading, too. It was a rather perfect evening at the gym.

I got home at 8:25 last night. A super long day.  Imagine my surprise (and delight) when I walked into the house and my mom was cooking bacon. Seriously!? Yum.

Dinner: BSTBA (bacon, spinach, tomato, basil and avocado) on WF whole wheat bread. It was an amazing sandwich!!

Dessert: I had a 1/2 cup of real ice cream as I was talking to one of my best friends about possible career moves (for her, not for me). Peanut butter cup. It was worth it.

Somehow I found energy to prep a salad (half ass prep for sure) and prep a smoothie for 2.  I was in bed by 10:30 last night, I talked with a friend, read for a few minutes and was asleep in no time.

Now on to Tuesday. Have a great day, bloggies. See you in a bit.
