No, I am not devastated over my meeting. It hasn’t happened yet. I am devastated because I worked really hard to look nice this morning (for my meeting) and I ended up getting yogurt on my pants 2 seconds after I got to work. Gah!

I quickly dove into my stash of wet wipes to correct the situation. I think I am good. But now it has started to rain. Its like I am destined to not look remotely put together today.

Regardless of the pants situation my breakfast was fantastic. The star of the show was the new Oikos Caramel flavored Greek yogurt.

It was a little on the sweet side, but I am looking forward to chowing down on more. And the I get to try the chocolate. Mmmmm.

I topped my yogurt with some Nature’s Path Agave Plus granola. Great combo, and I already have plans for my next. Do you think I could replicate Somoas Girl Scout cookies with some shredded coconut and dark chocolate chips added to this mix? I am gonna try.  What’s in the white bowl you ask?

Strawberries, blueberries, and kiwi. I promise, there really are blueberries in there.

All together now.

After finishing all of this I was stuffed with a capital S-T-U-F-F-E-D. However I did start feeling a little hungry by 10:30. To snack or not to snack that is the question.

I decided to snack because I do not want to me starving by the time I get to my lunch meeting. Inhaling my salad would probably not be a model of professional behavior. Alas, neither will taking pictures of my food. Sorry folks.

I tried to keep my snack light again today.

More mini pickles and an apple. Unfortunately these guys are not holding me over too well. I guess I am going to have to start chugging water to hold me over for the next hour.

No lunch pictures today so I will catch you all for dinner! Please keep your fingers crossed that my meeting goes well.

Is it bad that I didn’t consider the new year really beginning until I came back to work? I guess work means that the vacation and holidays are over and the reality of “real life” in the new year are just beginning for me. Coming back to work after a long weekend is hard. I do feel kind of refreshed though, and I am ready to get back into a more normal routine.

Last night after wrapping up my blogging I headed for the tub, which is probably one of my favorite parts of my normal routine. Having a knee replacement my body often feels out of whack and a nice long soak in the tub always makes me feel nice and loose.

After my bath I slathered on a little bit of my new lotion.

This stuff smell so good. Light and powdery.

And climbed into my new PJ’s.

Cute and comfy.

Before lights out I had a bedtime snack.

Multigrain Club cracker sandwiches with Laughing Cow and Hummus and a Clementine. I got some new hummus at Costco yesterday so I am trying to hurry up and use the older stuff so I can crack it open. Sabra Hummus with Roasted Pine Nuts. I can’t wait!

I did manage to get myself out of bed early for a workout. I think I need to get out of bed about 5 minutes earlier tomorrow though. I decided to try a circuit training, inspired by Emily,  this morning since getting bored while working out is one of my biggest struggles with working out. This is what I had planned.

I ran out of time after the lunges. And the chest press was actually more like a chest fly.

I really like this workout. I didn’t have an opportunity to get bored and the time flew by. I will definitely be doing this, or a variation of this, again. I really like working out in the comfort of my own home, especially when it is on 20* outside at 6 AM. Brr.

After working out I was starving for breakfast. So I guzzled down some water while I threw something together.

1/2 Fuji apple, 1/2 banana, 1 container (7 oz?) of 0% Fage with strawberries.

I like this but it had a bit too much yogurt for my liking. Next time I will probably only use 1/2 the container.

Breakfast only held me over for a little while. I have been sipping on sweet tea and managed to put off snacking until 10 AM. And of course, I had some Clementines.

I am still feeling hungry so snack #2 will soon follow.

See you for lunch!
