Oh man, I’m totally exhausted for some reason. Today was another good day, though
Getting all of your comments on my last post made me so happy because it just reminded me throughout the day of how great yesterday was. Today was good too, except for the weather. Man it got cold again! I walked home and almost froze to death. Ok, I may be slightly exaggerating :lol:
Sorry, I’m making this quick. It’s been a really long day and I’m about to pass out. The food was good though and so was my workout. Love it!
BEST MEAL OF THE DAY:
Leftovers from yesterday were absolutely amazing, and I’m really tempted to call them the best meal of the day. The sauce is good stuff! I think it even looks prettier today
I ate my lunch with chopstick to really feel like I’m eating asian food… and it’s also kind of fun to eat with chopsticks

Ok ok, but because you’ve already seen this, I’ll also add a super delicious breakfast to my best meal of the day. Honestly I couldn’t chose between the 2 meals. I started eating breakfast at home because this way I get to eat exactly what I crave that very moment instead of what I pre-pack the night before, and I’m really loving it! So far the breakfasts also held me over just as long. Not sure if this will become my new thing, but it’s been definitely fun the last few days
Anyways, breakfast was a Food for Life english muffin with Barney Butter and cherry preserve + a medium banana and a large coffee. So delicious!

OTHER EATS



Sorry dinner is so ugly. I needed to make something super quick and despite being totally unphotogenic, this actually came out pretty delicious.

I was really trying to have the chobs as my dessert, but who was I kidding… I need chocolate for that
So I had 1/2 serving of my favorite trail mix ever!

Total calories for the day: ~ 1750 (I had to guesstimate for the office treat so I’m not 100% sure)
WORKOUT
I started with an abs class (which I was late to so I only did about 8 minutes), then took a 40 minute spin class, followed by 5 minutes of stretching and 20 minutes on the elliptical. I really wanted to do another 15 minutes of the stationary bike but my ipod battery died so I took it as a sign that I’ve had enough and left. It was still a great workout! Workout stats:
- Duration: 1:09 (+ 5 minutes of stretching)
- Calories burnt: 587 (15% fat)
- Ave HR: 146; Max HR: 172
MISC
I’ve been super busy at work and decided to ban blog reading during office hours. It just got bad, sneaking in peaks here and there. So I am reading when I get home, just not commenting as much. Sorry if you haven’t heard from me… I promise I’m reading
All right, I’m off. Seriously my eye lids feel so heavy right now…

First off, congrats on that awesome workout! Geesh you did it right!
And ALL of your food looks so good
I hope you enjoy your weekend, Elina!
Oh my gosh, great workout!
And ahhh yummy eats!!!
Was that a lemon bar earlier today? My goodness that looks good. I like chopsticks because I am a complete goofball and spend half the time trying not to drop food= instant portion control!
I hate it when my iPod dies! I am so dependent on it now for a good workout.
I do like to read your insightful comments when you can though!
Don’t worry about commenting as much, we know that you’re busy so don’t sweat it
Lovely eats…Happy Friday, Elina!
Wow that noodle dish totally looks like something I’d order at a restaurant. Yum!
Hope you got plenty of rest last night – HAPPY FRIDAY!!
Peach chobs! Yummy!
mm cherry preserves sound yummy. I’ve been craving some cherry stuff lately. And I like your idea of eating breakfast at home and getting exactly what you crave. Whenever I do that it puts me in a good mood in the morning.
ooh yum, dinner looks just as good as it did when we had it
Wow what healthy eating. You are an inspiration.
wow – all of your food looks amazing.
i agree! chopsticks are the best way to eat food!

YUM! I need to find a way to boil pasta in the microwave. Then I can whip up yummy Asian dishes in my dorm room.
Your workouts are awesomely hardcore, by the way!
Hehe, Mimi, you’re the microwave queen – I’m sure you’ll figure it out soon!
