Weekly Workout Recap + A LOT to do this weekend

Hey guys,

Just thought I'd stop in after lunch to say hello and see the day is going.

My day? My day is going great! I have 2 days left (after today) of work and I have so much planned. I actually spent yesterday manually writing a list of my 'to dos' for this upcoming weekend.

Before I give you a 'check' tasks for this Thursday night until Monday (woop woop for having 4 days off). I'm gonna do a quick recap of eats this week and last weeks workouts.

Breakfast

A breakfast just wouldn't be a breakfast without a class peanut butter and chocolate protein powder w. an XL black coffee.

Yumm!

Lunch

Breakfast filled me up quite a bit today and I didn't get too 'snackish' throughout the morning.

Lunch was a delicious HUGE salad w. a HUGE bottle of water!

*I added 3-oz of pork loin also but I snapped the picture prior to this

spinach + edamame + mixed berries + tomatoes + mixed nuts + white cranberry balsamic vinaigrette = best.salad.ever

Also, this has been laying on the side of my desk for some time now .. a girl at work actually yelled at me to eat it and I told her I'd wait for my stomach to settle. She kept saying I was a rabbit and laughing with everyone. I'm not gonna lie .. I was a little intimidate .. sometimes people get food bullied..

..or is that just my excuse so I can eat cake?
