Good Morning!
We are back to Monday – I hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was a lot of fun, I headed up to Starkville. I’ll be recapping some events from the weekend later today!
Let’s start with BREAKFAST. It’s a good one this morning. I’m really trying to eat a larger breakfast to help fuel me through the day!
Cup of coffee, of course! English muffin with honey & butter, Morning Star Farms Sausage Links, and a Banana. It was delicious.
I planned on waking up this morning for a run, but I’m seriously trying to improve on some bad habits I have. One of those being the amount of sleep I get at night. I got exactly 7 hours last night, preferably I’d get more, but that’s the reason I didn’t wake up any sooner. I’m packing my gym bag for work though so I can squeeze in a workout at the gym after I get off. Another bad habit I’m working on is my water intake. I definitely don’t get enough to keep my moving body hydrated. I’ve been working on a system at work that helps increase my intake by setting a goal to drink my blender bottle full of water by 12:30 and then again by 4:30, so I get about 44oz. right there. It still needs some improvement.
This past weekend in Starkville, I experienced two very different scenarios that a vegetarian may find themselves in.
First, Nick and I had Mexican on Friday night. I mentioned that in my post on Fun with Food Camp (btw, I found out it’s culinary camp – very cool). I found a piece of chicken & steak in my veggies. Something completely different happened on Sunday though at Starbucks. I was there alone working on the blog, enjoying my skinny caramel macchiato and a lady offered me a sample of their panini (with ham & Swiss). I thanked her, but told her I’m a vegetarian. She moved on to the next guy. A few minutes later, she brings over a bag and says that this panini has NO MEAT in it, it’s a tomato & basil (I’m fairly certain it was also larger than the first panini I was offered. I was extremely thankful because that was unnecessarily sweet! By the way, it was delicious – so if you’re hungry on the road and need to stop for some lunch, I highly recommend the tomato & basil panini from Starbucks!
Alright friends, I’m off to get ready for work, but I’ll be back later to recap my weekend!
- What do you eat for breakfast to fuel your day?
- How do you measure your water intake & what tricks do you use to increase that?
- Have you had the Tomato & Basil Panini at Starbucks? What were your thoughts?
I’ve had pastries and cookies from Sbux but none of their other food. Just doesn’t look that appealing to me in all honesty. But I’m glad to know that if I do need something, that its pretty good!
