WIAWABW

Breakfast: Chobani Black Cherry and one of Mila’s Granola bars (which are delicious) and a pomegranate green tea

I also had some blueberries and a homemade s’more that went un-pictured. Bad blogger.

I wore this new dress I got at Target on Sunday and TWO people came into my work wearing the same one!

I also made these Monster Cookies which I added everything but the kitchen sink into.

I enjoyed one cookie while Adam had a couple and we both agreed we needed to get them out of the house so I sent them to work with him this morning. I’m not sure if people at work love it or hate it when I do this!

I’m off for a morning workout before I head to work.

QUESTIONS: Do you send treats into work with your significant other because you don’t want them in the house? Do you think they love it or hate it?

20 percent

Happy Monday boys and girls!

No, I’m not blogging from a beach – but my dad sent me this picture this morning and it was too pretty not to share!

This weekend Adam and I really took our 20% of eating non-healthy seriously.

Saturday I went into work for a few hours to set-up for a private party and Adam came for the last half so we could grab lunch somewhere close. We went to a sushi spot we remembered seeing a couple of weeks ago.

As always we ordered meals to share. We started off with crab shumai.

and a peach Bellini that was seriously yummy.

Our main meals at lunch were a  brown rice spicy tuna roll topped with shrimp tempura and tempura snapper tacos.

We ate so much (fried) fish i think I turned into one.

Adam thinks I’m funny.

We ended up going out Saturday night which always leads to an unhealthy day after for me.

Breakfast: Bacon egg and cheese on wheat toast

Lunch: Fruit Smoothie – We were so lazy that we ordered 2 smoothies for delivery.

Then we took a 3 hour nap… I know, we are pathetic right?

When we woke up around 6pm we were starving so we headed to outback to use up some gift cards I had.

Ohhh you know bacon, cheese fries for an appetizer. We split the half order. Yeah, thats a half.

Then we had “salads”

Aka cheese and croutons with a veggie or two.

Enjoyed some bread w/ Honey Butter

and had steaks w/ sweet potatoes as our main meal.

We decided to forgo their dessert menu because I picked up some yummy treats at TJ’s the day before.

Yep, we really didn’t eat one healthy thing all day long.

I see a lot of veggies in our future this week!!

QUESTIONS: Do you feel weighed down after a day of unhealthy eating? I’ve just recently started to notice this feeling and it makes me really think twice about eating this way!
