Has anyone noticed that drinks are more fun with a straw, even when they’re not a magarita? I use one of those plastic cups that looks like a Starbucks cup, but is reusable. It’s too hot to take a walk today, so stairs are my only hope-oops.11:30 PM: Fill up my water. And I forgot to take the stairs this morning, even though it’s our weekly office wellness day when we get to wear sneakers to work and are encouraged to exercise. This morning gets a 10.Ĩ:45 AM: At work, sip my coffee. To top it off, the Lady Gaga song that’s been all over the radio this month-you know the one-comes on as I pull onto the highway.
I already have coffee, but take a muffin-score! It’s still warm and tastes wheat-floury and not sweet-just how I like it.
FITDAY FOR BLACKBERRY FREE
On my one-block walk to the car, I notice that there’s a new nearby restaurant giving away free coffee and blueberry muffins to spread the word. Pour my iced coffee with milk and Truvia, pack more peach, yogurt and walnuts. I drive home, exhausted, and have a small glass of water and am in bed at 10:30.ħ:00 AM: Up. Tonight I trim three bowls and one vase, and make one new vase. I’m twice as hungry now that the burrito is in the car with me.Ħ:00 PM: At the studio and finished with my burrito, I get an early start. So I stop at Chipotle and get a chicken burrito with black beans, tomatoes, a bit of the corn mix, rice, and cheese. My ceramics class is at 7, but there’s barely time to go home first, and would just be a waste of gas. My teeth have a great affinity for cavities, so I’m really strict about sugary drinks and candy (aside from chocolate, clearly).ĥ:00 PM: Leave work. It’s made with Splenda and is a tad too sweet, so I water it down with ice. The wrapper says, “Be a little naughty with your nice.”Ĥ:10 PM: Give up halfway through the water and open a can of Arizona Arnold Palmer with zero calories of sugar. $1.20 for a lemon? $5.99 for a half pint of blackberries? No thank you.ģ:20 PM: Chocolate craving! I grab a dark chocolate-with-almonds mini Dove bar from the bag I keep at my desk. I also have fat-free Greek yogurt with a sliced peach and a few walnuts.Ģ:15 PM: Investigate a deal online for a one-month local produce club and then look at prices, say “Oh, God,” and go back to work. It’s just what I had in the fridge, but turns out to be an amazing combo. It consists of “spring mix” lettuce, corn leftover from a barbecue, cherry tomatoes, walnuts, beets, avocado, black beans, and balsamic vinaigrette. Elevators are having issues today, so I walk up the four flights.ġ1:00 AM: I switch to water and fill up my 16-ounce cup.ġ:30 PM: Not really hungry yet after that bagel, but I know I’ll be having an early dinner before my weekly ceramics class this evening, so I take the salad I brought with me out of the fridge. When I get down there, there’s a line for eggs, so I toast a raisin bagel with low-fat cream cheese. Sounds tasty, but the Web site says it’s filled with fat and calories. The breakfast feature today is an egg-and-cheese croissant. The cafeteria downstairs is great, cheap, and healthy-most items are low-fat. It’s amazing.Ĩ:15 AM: Leave for work, sip iced coffee in the car.ĩ:00 AM: At work. Side note: I recently got an iced coffee French press which you make the night before and can last for several days. I prep lunch, pour half skim milk and half iced coffee with some Truvia into a travel mug and leave. I’m not a morning person, which means I need maximum get-ready time. The night before I started this diary I went back to the gym for a high intensity training class, which kicked my butt.”ħ:00 AM: Alarm goes off. But I’m coming off of traveling (by air) three times in the last three weeks and a week of 100-plus degree weather during which my gym was closed for cleaning. Self-described activity level: “I’ve always maintained a pretty regular five- to six-day-a-week workout regimen that includes gym classes, cardio and sometimes outdoor running in spring/fall. Our food diarist makes mostly healthy choices, but she missed out on the healthier burrito bowl at Chipotle.
