Bacon for Dinner


Today I had a LONG, LONG day. 

I'm a spoiled person when it comes to jobs..  I get to be active & play with kids!

BUT TODAY, I had to go into a training from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.


HOW DO PEOPLE SIT AT DESKS ALL DAY!!!???

My legs and butt were so cramped, and my stomach started to feel bloated and my back started to get achey from sitting up straight in a chair and working/testing/listening for all that time!!

I seriously have new respect for anyone who works a desk job, and am SO GLAD I am majoring in education.... a Job that requires you to move around frequently!!!!




 Breakfast was 2 fried eggs & broccoli! 

These are the things I packed to the training today for lunch & snacks!!!

Was it weird being the only person at the training NOT taking the free starchy/sugary snacks & eating fresh foods out of tubs?

Yes, I will say it WAS a little weird. 

Was it worth it?

HECK YEAH!

While everyone there munched on cookies & crackers & candy all day, I ate like a KING!


Dinner:
ISN'T IT BEAUTIFUL??!!!!

After a long day sitting, bored out of my mind I decided I deserved a treat!!!
I came home, stretched and I made guacamole and dipped bacon in it. 

BEST DINNER EVER. 

For a "workout" tonight I played volleyball with some friends from high school!!

It was allot of fun!!

In the beginning I was afraid to go after the ball, but by the end I was actually getting into it!!

and WOW volleyball really works up a sweat! I'm going to try and play games like that more often!

Hope ya'll had a great day!

It's amazing how sitting at a desk all day can really wipe you out!

  1. A volleyball game with friends sounds like a great way to burn off some calories and have fun! Question - for your chicken and broccoli, how many days in advance did you prepare it? Did you just make 1 portion or did you make a few portions for days to come? Just curious to know how long it keeps and stays tasting good. I still need to work on preparing my lunches in advance.

    1. What I did this week was grab a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from the grocery store! I take it all off the bone the night i buy it (it will go bad faster on the bone) and I eat it within a week of buying it!!! Same with the veggies I cook, anything I don't eat within 5-7 days of cooking gets trashed!

      Usually when I have more time I will pick up a bag of frozen chicken breasts from the store and barbeque them ALL at once and keep them in the fridge! These have lasted me up to a week/ a little more.... I noticed the rotisserie chicken goes bad faster!

      I too am still experimenting with food/storage & meal planning!!!
