smorgasbord

Today was not a day I was looking forward to...but all good things must come to an end, so back to work I went...

It wasn't as bad as I anticipated (most likely because I went in with the lowest of low expectations) - how sad that I approach my job this way?! Whatever. The unit was slow-ish, but I still had 3 patients. It was nice to work with Miranda and Jaja at least...
Here's the lunch I packed the day before.

Smart deli turkey sammie with greek yog, mustard, and lettuce on A street bread.
And then the rest of the snack items with the sando...I had the raisins with my AM coffee, and about a gallon of apple juice throughout the morning. Then at lunch (after I had my healthy sando), I ruined the good streak and I got 2 MASSIVE oatmeal raisins cookies from Bruno's. What can I say, I don't do very well with such delicious looking holiday treats in front of my face around the clock.
Sooo...back to work I went for the rest of the shift I was on a mega sugar high. On the way home from work I had a new flavor of Odwalla bar. (Drumroll please) I have new fave ladies and gents...
Super protein = super good. It tastes like a oatmeal raisin cookie but not as sugary. I felt energized enough to go to the gym, but once I got there, I was struggling BIG time. I ran for 15 minutes and then left because I just felt SOOO exhausted. My body isn't ready for this schedule yet!
After my shower I was far too lazy to be creative with my meal...all I wanted was dinner and sleep! So, I made a chicken salad kinda thing with smart "chik'n" tenders and veganaise.

Then I put that on A street bread with lettuce, mustard, and greek yog...

Talk about a lazy dinner sando!

I was still hungry so FIRST I had something salty (soy nuts from whole foods)...

...and THEN I had something sweet (dates from whole foods)...

...and THEN I had something really sweet :)
A big glass of silk vanilla soy milk with 5 vegan cookies from whole foods. Only 2 made the photo (the others were already in my tummy). I had 3 of the oatmeal raisin cookies and 2 of the gingersnap ones. The oatmeal raisin ones were mmmmm, and the gingersnap ones were good, but probably would have been better if they were fresh from the oven. They were a little too hard, so I had to submerge them in soymilk before each bite (not a bad thing). Talk about an assortment of dinner items!
Tomorrow is thanksgiving!!
