Using up some veggies

Where does the time go?  I can’t believe it’s already 10:00!  

Here’s a quick recap of my day.  

Breakfast – Multigrain Arnold’s Sandwich Thin topped with Barney Butter and a small banana

Morning snack – Cashew Cookie Larabar

Lunch – mini apple
And another multigrain sandwich thin topped with a garlic & herb laughing cow wedge, organic turkey, sprouts, and romaine.
I may have also had some fries with my lunch.  I don’t have a picture because I didn’t take my camera to work.

Lately I have been so unmotivated to work out.  I have been getting my cardio in, but I haven’t done any weights all week.  I told myself this evening that I only had to do 20 minutes and then I could leave.  That’s exactly what I did, 22 minutes on the Arc Trainer.  My heart rate monitor said I burned around 300 calories, so I did at least push myself in my short little cardio session.  

By the time I got home from the gym and showered, it was 9:00.  Because I was so short on time, I threw together a quick stir fry for dinner to use up some veggies that I’ve had hanging out a little too long.  

The stir fry contained - 

• frozen tri color peppers
• frozen green beans
• 1/2 bag broccoli slaw
• 1 green bell pepper
• cashews
• a sauce made with sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice wine vinegar

I put half of the veggies aside for tomorrow, and then threw some defrosted frozen shrimp into the skillet to heat through.  I served the stir fry over a small portion of instant brown rice.  

I am so glad tomorrow is Friday!  Even though I had a four day weekend, this week has been seriously dragging.  

Have a great night!
