Cut off

I have been a bottomless pit today. So freaking hungry at work. It started innocently enough - egg beaters with a cheese and tomato slice open faced on a slice of bread. About a cup, maybe a little less, of Blueberry Kefir. But then around 10:30, the tummy rumblings started, as they normally do. And my dumb ass ate an apple. News flash, an apple is good for food cravings, when I just want something to eat, not so good when I'm actually feeling like my stomach is going to eat itself. I need to have snacks with a little fat and protein. But no. So a half hour later, I'm still famished and I my "afternoon" snack - triscuits. Then I decided I still wasn't full so I made a protein shake. And by shake I mean putting protein powder in milk and shaking it. Mind you, this was all before lunch.

Lifted weights at lunch:
Squats on the V-squat machine - 2 sets of 12 reps. One at 50 pounds, the second at 55.
Push ups at a 45 degree angle on the Smith machine - 2 sets of 12 reps
the thing - I always forget what it's called - it's for your back and works your biceps too. Anyway - 2 sets of 2 reps. First at 45 pounds, second at 52.5.
Step ups - 2 sets of 12 reps. 20 pounds both sets.
An ab thing - 2 sets of 15 reps. I was supposed to do Swiss Ball Crunches but nary a Swiss Ball could be found.

So, yeah, back to eating. I stopped at Subway and got a Veggie Delite (mustard; no cheese) and apparantly Subway has all these new "healthy" chips. I tried the Flat Earth Peach Berry Mango. Damn good. And if you check out their website, you'll see that you can print a coupon for a free big bag of chips. You're welcome.

So, didn't have an afternoon snack because I'd eaten them. Then I got stuck in horrible traffic. This city just falls apart if there is any sort of precipitation. It took me an hour to get home. I work 13 miles away. Had a normal dinner. More of the Mexican Pasta salad and steamed broccoli. Then I had a piece of bread with sugar free jelly.

Still kinda munchy. I need to run 4.5 miles today. No backing out like I did yesterday.
