Happy Tuesday!
New York City has finally realized that Spring has arrived! Our weather this week includes numbers like 75 and words like mostly sunny! I’m especially excited for the weekend’s sunny weather. This morning, I even had the chance to wear a skirt WITHOUT hose! I know kids, it’s the little things in life!
Today was a busy day in the office but luckily I was able to sneak out a little early for some fresh air and errands! 
As you can see, even at 7pm it was still sunny and breezy. 
MORNING WORKOUT
My day started on an awesome foot with a personal training session. I’m amazed how far I’ve come during my month with Lauren. Each training appointment lasts an hour, including a 10 minute stretching session. While each workout includes different exercises, each one challenges me and leaves my muscles screaming and quivering. This morning our multiple lunges left my legs screaming but I realized that I no longer have a hard time finding my balance like I did a month ago. My muscles are starting to memorize movements and become more familiar with the exercises which now allows us to add more weight!
BREAKFAST
After my training session my hunger was out of control! My normal breakfast only kept me full for 3.5 hours instead of the normal 5 hours!
LUNCH
I munched on a handful of almonds to subside my hunger until lunch time when my co-worker Eileen was sweet enough to bring me a salad. Her concoction was a fresh change on my normal salad including vegetables like broccoli which I rarely include on my salads. It was DELICIOUS!
DINNER
Tonight’s dinner was a delicious repeat from last week, the Cooking Light Shrimp Cobb Salad. This week the salad was a little different due to Whole Food’s lack of fresh shrimp. The salad is still a perfect and satiating evening meal but fresh shrimp makes a huge difference.
I’m ready to curl up on the couch with Bo and this week’s 90 minute Glee episode! I have an early morning run planned and then my first trip out to Long Island!
Question: How do you handle your hunger when it’s off the charts? Any filling snack suggestions?
I love almonds when I need to keep hunger at bay for a little while longer, but I tend to eat to many! I’m a huge fan of dried fruit for this purpose. Trader Joe’s has fruit leathers (boysenberry is my favorite of these), and their “Just Mango” is perfect. They don’t have a bunch of added sugar, and they’re not filling enough to ruin a meal.
That’s a great idea Maddie! I packed my own trail mix last week combining nuts and dried fruit in portion controlled bags!
