Short work week + no boss in the office=perfection

Ahhh, it is like today is Friday!  I love it when a holiday falls up against a weekend.  And my office is EMPTY today, so I can catch up on some of the busy work around here that I need to do and I can blogsurf a bit. I am hoping our HR department lets us out of here early too.  I am thinking about dying my hair and making some cupcakes for Fourth of July.  Ummm, not at the same time though. :)   And I have an awesome girls night out planned in the District with Missy tonight.  My mother isn’t making it into town until Saturday now. :(

On the way into work this morning, after realizing that I still forgot to pick up some GFI sugar-free coffee, I thought I could handle a little Fourth of July/it is the last day of the work week treat.  We have the cutest little drive-thru coffee shop near my house that I would much rather give my money to than that coffee giant that sounds a lot like marducks.

I got a small non fat latte with a squirt of sugar free caramel.  Yum yum.  Once I got into work, I poured about half of it over ice and that is what I am enjoying now.  I probably will get to the other half later today.  After all the caffeine I had yesterday I should probably watch my intake today.

Breakfast
For breakfast this morning I stole the idea from Meals from the Girl in the Little Black Dress.  I made overnight oats.  1/2cup of oats mixed with 1/2cup of soy milk and 2T of water.  I let it soak overnight and then this morning I mixed in 1/2 a cut up banana, 1T of flax seed, 2T of Fage and some cinnamon.  I put in some blueberries but I ended up not eating them.  They just didn’t mix well with the creamy consistency of everything else.  It was very very yummy and is something I definitely will be having a lot.

Am Snack
Basically the same, kefir and a peach.  Hopefully this peach will be better than the one I had earlier this week.  It felt a little softer, so there is hope.

I am planning on heading to the gym over lunch.  My hand has stopped openly bleeding, so I think it is okay if I do some cardio.  Probably treadmill so I don’t have to use my hands.  I really want to lift this afternoon…I am trying to decide if I think that is the wisest thing or not.  Maybe I could try and see if it hurts/opens the wound…

And for a little giggle, I leave you with:

    haha, that cartoon’s funny.

    i never stop at little coffee places, even though i should, cause i never know what to order from them and what ill end up actually getting. im one of those people that likes to stay away from new things because routine is comfortable.

    yes, i take my coffee that seriously.

Summary



About Me: 28-year old, fairly newlywed (Spring 2007) that lives in Northern VA. Work full time, love my job, have an unfortunately long daily commute.

While an obsessive long distance runner, I am still trying to recover from 2 major knee surgeries. Atleast I am able to (semi) run again.

In the past, I definitely have not always fed my body correctly to support all the running I did. Simply put, my aim was to be the smallest weight/size possible. Now, my aim is to eat healthy, well rounded and simply to enjoy as much of life without worry about the calorie content and what the tenth of a pound the scale is showing me.
