A Look into what a Typical Day of Eating looks like for Me and What I do to Stay in Shape

A typical Day and My Food Intake:

Anywhere from 5:50 a.m. to 6:10 a.m. - Have half a cup of Coffee (usually the left over from the cup and a half I pour into Jeff's travel coffee mug).

I leave for work usually at 6:20 a.m. to catch the 6:32 p.m hour-long train to Union Station in Toronto and that gets me to my desk about 7:45 a.m.  (If I'm lolly-gagging (which I have been lately - lol), I leave the house at 6:45 a.m/6:50 a.m. to catch the 7:02 a.m. train, that lands me at my desk around 8:15 a.m./8:20 a.m.)

8:00 a.m. - Have a protein shake and a banana.

9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. - Drink maybe one to two cups of coffee, along with my morning oatmeal.

(On average, after I've had my morning coffee, I won't drink anything else but water for the rest of the day, which may be anywhere from two to four litres of water)

11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. - This varies slightly, I'll munch closer to 11:30 if I'm going to a 12 o'clock class or closer to 12:30 p.m. if I'm going to a 1 p.m. class.  I usually eat two rice cakes, always.  Sometimes I'll squeeze in my carrots and celery.  If I don't eat the veggies then, I'll eat them as soon as I get back from the gym.

1 p.m. to 2:30 pm. - Depending on which class I've gone to, during these times I'll eat my lunch, which is a white tortilla wrap with a bit of light mayo, honey Dijon mustard, baby spinach, a slice of Swiss cheese and a home-cooked seasoned thin filet of chicken breast.. Really filling, much more so than deli meat that are loaded with sulfites and preservatives.  I also usually eat a piece of fruit, these days it's a pear and a 100g container of Activia yogurt.

Somewhere usually between 2:30 p.m. and 3:45 p.m., I'll snack on a handful of unsalted almonds and an apple.

I leave work on a good day around 3:45 p.m. but most days 3:55 p.m., which makes for me hauling ASS to the train station to catch the 4:10 p.m. train home.

Weekend Recap and Pictures, of course :)

So I have a bit of a confession here, pssst: I blow off seeing friends or going out for lunches with people because... I love and need to go to the gym.  That's how dedicated I am. Or lame, however you want to look at it.  LOL  Speaking of working out, I just got back from a yoga class outdoors in 36 degrees weather.  Man was it hot!

Moving on, we have a friend staying with us at the moment.  He got into town last Thursday after having drove all the way from BC.  Nice to have him home, he's been gone from Ontario for about a year now and he's finally back which is awesome.  This Saturday, as a matter of fact, we're heading up to his parents' place to go boating in the afternoon and then see his mom in some play she's acting in.  Saturday morning the boys are going swimming in the pool.  Dock diving not quite, but more like confidence building in the pool.  Sunday is a BBQ at my mom's place, her annual get together with some friends and family.

Looks like Jeff just got some baseball tickets so I'll be meeting him, Alex and a fourth person downtown after work on Friday.  Sweet! :)

That's all, I'm really scattered today so forgive me.  Light, love and happiness
