I made the most amazing sandwich! An Arnold Thin with ground turkey (yup, leftover from last night’s tacos), cucumbers, cheese, and sprouts. As soon as I took the last bite, I wished I had made a 2nd one. I also tried my first bag of chips from Food Should Taste Good. Thank you to their co-op Emily for shipping the samples to me. (Go Huskies!)
I started with the Potato and Chive flavor because it was the one I was least excited about. Get it eaten and over with? Haha. I was actually pretty impressed with the flavor of these chips. They really did taste like potatoes. The unique flavor was one that I could appreciate without over eating. Plus it seemed to go well with my sandwich. Important to note that these bad boys are gluten free. I always think of Shannon when I find foods without gluten.
I had a cranberry VitaMuffin for a snack. Look at all of those berries!
I went to the gym at 1pm, ready to work. I decided to hit the treadmill for some interval running. I walked for 2 minutes, ran for 2 minutes, walked for 1 minute, ran for 2 minutes, walked for 1 minute, and then ran for 2 minutes. I repeated this pattern a second time and then walked for 5 minutes to cool down. Wow, what a great workout! Each time I ran, I made sure I picked a speed that out me under a 9 minute mile. Then I walked at 4 mph to recover.
Changing the speed so often kept me distracted. Plus I was never totally exhausted so I was able to finish strong. I’m going to plan out another interval workout and do this again! I used the foam roller and sat in the sauna for 10 minutes before heading back to work.
I snacked on 2 Clementines. Yay for Vitamin C!
Then I snacked on a Mojo Dipped fruit and nut bar. Really sweet plus a vanilla yogurty coating = perfection.
I used more of the taco leftovers to make a taco salad. Same ingredients as last night, but a much bigger serving size.
I had to run an errand and knew the salad wouldn’t be enough to keep me full for the entire evening. Especially since I had to power walk around Back Bay.
I had a small bowl of Annie’s macaroni and cheese. Since I got rained on while running the errand, I just wanted some warm comfort food.
My evening is being dedicated to the Glee fall finale. I look forward to an hour of music every Wednesday night so I’m going to miss this while it’s off the air. At least I have a few other shows that I really enjoy, and Lost will begin it’s final season in 2 months. I may also do my Whittle My Middle workout. I began the challenge a week late and I’ve been slacking.

I can’t watch Glee until the husband gets home from work, which may be never! AHHH I can’t wait much longer!!!
Let me know how you like the FSTG Olive chips if you try them….those and sweet potato are my faves:) The potato chive are good, but like you said, I couldn’t eat a ton at once….there’s something a little off maybe about them???? But yummmy in moderation!

Oh My – potato and chive sounds AMAZING to me! I need to find those chips. I love that brand – their sweet potato chips are awesome!
Your salad looks great – I hope you have warmed up from your shopping- it is so gross out.

That mac and cheese looks so yummy. I pretty much can’t make a box of that unless the boyfriend wants to eat half – otherwise I’m too tempted to eat all of it…
Your interval work out sounds great. I did intervals with a slow jog in between, but I bet my fast intervals could be faster if I walked instead. I’ll put it on my list.

Those chiops are gluten free? Yeah! I’m not a huge chip fan, but I’ve heard so many good things, I’ll have to check them out!
My husband and I are counting days until LOST comes back! I didn’t start watching Glee, but maybe I need to track it down on line.

Great interval workout! Intervals are they only thing that keep me on the treadmill.
I think of Shannon whenever I see gluten free too! I always make a mental note to tell her about the product.
I missed Glee. I’m two episodes behind. If my boss leaves, I’m going to watch them online today
