Back in The Swing of it

I slept amazing last night in my own bed last night. It's so nice to be home and back to my normal routine. I woke up this morning and went downstairs to make breakfast, a one egg one egg white omelet with cheese, canadian bacon, spinach and a banana on the side. I chopped up the canadian bacon and pan fried it (no oil), added some fresh baby spinach wilted it down. Then made my omelet (with a little olive oil to help with the sticking), added everything to the middle, and sprinkled with green onions. I also had a V8 fusion to go with it. Calorie Count: 374

I also hopped on the scale today to do a quick check in to see what damage I had done over my two week vacation by not being able to workout and didn't eat all that great. But when I hoped on I found I had lost .6 lbs! Amazing.

I then set off to pick up my race packet from Fleet Feet in Sacramento for my 5k this Sunday for the Women's Fitness Festival. I received a reusable bag, a water bottle, a packet of coffee from Java City, a Luna bar, coupons for Whole Foods, and best of all a Nike DryFit running shirt. It is a very nice shirt to get for a race, not just a cotton one. I am looking forward to going to the Kaiser Permanente "Thrive Pavilion" (aka big booth) where they are conducting blood pressure and body fat testing.

While I was at Fleet Feet they had a lot of flyers for other upcoming runs. My roommate and I have been looking for a half marathon to do sometime late this year, and I think we found one. The Urban Cow Half Marathon in Sacramento that benefits the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society on October 2nd.

Lunch was a Trader Joe's Tofu Spring Roll, with nachos on the side. Used the Trader Joe's Black Bean Dip on the nachos and didn't like it. It was very vinegary. But might be good with some sour cream or something but I didn't like it plain. Also I am super happy to be using my digital food scale again. It's really nice to make sure you are getting exact servings instead of just eyeballing it. Calorie Count: 575

After lunch and before dinner I was a little hungry so I had a small bowl of cereal. I also decided I'm still not feeling up to going to the gym. I'd rather try to make a real go at the run on Sunday, so I've decided not to go. :( Which makes me sad, but it will be better in the long run. For dinner I had an Asian inspired salad with a soy ginger dressing, slivered almonds, and mandarin orange slices and a piece of baked turbot with pineapple salsa and brown rice cake.

For 'dessert' I had a chocolate protein shake and a 100 calorie pack of popcorn. Calorie Count: 210
