Another 9pm folks! I’m on a roll!
I should really have planned my week out better realizing that I have basically, literally no time to pack now. Thank goodness I don’t NEED to do laundry.
I find that my stress levels go through the roof when I’m always on the go like this. My fallback plan is to keep the nutrition up since my body needs it quite a bit at this point.
My cheat – Vega Whole Health Optimizer (vanilla chai – just mixed with water). While I think food is the best way to get nutrients and vitamins in your body, this Vega stuff has half of almost everything you need in one scoop. So, this morning, I shook up a half scoop-ish to get my day started on the right foot.
I tried to include nutritious eats the rest of the day, as well – lots of fruits and veggies.
Breakfast is the usual as of late – fried local, cage-free egg, rye bagel and a banana.
Nommmmmm
Lunch was frozen (stove-top-reheated) ED&BV lentil soup with parsley from my garden.
Hubby wanted me to take a picture of his sandwich – turkey and melty cheese on another rye bagel.
Orange juice for vitamin C.
An apple a day…right?
The last of my overnight steel cut oats – cooked stovetop with some organic pumpkin and topped with maple syrup and sliced almond made for a fabulous pre-workout snack.

Post work I taught ZUMBA!
I bused out some new, TOUGH songs tonight. They need serious polishing, but hey…I tried them. Practice makes perfect right?

Post-workout dinner with the girls = pesto chicken salad on pumpernickel at Dean & Deluca. There was actually quite a bit of veg in here, so I didn’t get a side. There was tons of celery in the chicken salad, but I also added romaine and a tomato slice. Yum!
Plus I had my first Pinkberry experience tonight! I got a mini with coconut (whoa! yum!) and plain/original with MOCHI CAKES (you know!), kiwi and pineapple. So so yummy! Pinkberry’s froyo is so nice and creamy and I just love that they do a coconut flavor!
Another long day tomorrow kids! Wish me luck!
What are your tricks for your busiest weeks?
pesto chicken salad? yum! i hope you have time to relax this weekend- sounds like you need it!
Hang in there! Those rye bagels are giving me a serious bagel craving. I better pick some up this weekend!
I hope you get to have a relaxing weekend.
Those rye bagels look so amazing! I would love to have one of those right now 🙂
When I have busy weeks, I just do the best I can. I make lists each morning of what I can accomplish and I try to squeeze in laundry, dishes, cleaning, relaxing time whenever I can. Usually I ask my husband for help and we work together to get through the week.
teamwork always helps! esp when you have a great hubby which it sounds like you do! i know my hubby helps out all the time! 🙂
That Pinkberry is so TALL!! Holy moly. Looks delicious, though 🙂 I try to make to-do lists when I know I’ll be really busy. Crossing things off is such a good feeling!
i think they accidentally gave me too much! lol
I go the to-do list route too. I also make sure that on the weekend I prep as many meals as possible and have easy to prepare snacks and lunches to make life as simple as possible.
Busy weeks can be stressful but they also go by very quickly.
i love the prepping trick! sundays are great for that and i love the idea of cooking and baking lots of yummy things! 🙂
