Bad, Bad, Bad

Good morning!

Oh I was bad last night. I went to a "Ginger" birthday dinner were all the food was ginger inspired.

Carmel Apple Punch - I had four or fives small glasses.
My first bad.

Chips with Queso, Sweet Potato Fries with a Mayo dipping sauce

Pumpkin Soup. Ate enough of everything to be my big second bad.

Cookies - I was good. I didn't have one.

Pumpkin Roll - I ate a slice and brought a (small) slice home. 

My third bad.

My last bad of the night was I had a glass of wine. 

The birthday Ginger that inspired this dinner. Happy B-day G!

I was not planning on working out today but because of my actions last night I think it might be a good idea if I do. It's pouring outside so I think I'll do JM 30 day. 

Breakfast

Oatmeal with half a banana and Coffee with silk milk and honey

Today I'm Grateful for...

the view I have when I'm working out. I picture myself lounging by the pool in a bikini one piece bathing suit. That keeps me motivated throughout my workout.

Right as I was finishing my workout I received a call from J with some not-so-good news. J was in a fender-bender and J was at fault. ugh! I'm grateful nobody was hurt (besides our pocketbooks). 

Lunch

Turkey Chili Burrito, an Apple, and a cup of Green Tea

I made a burrito out of the leftover turkey chili from last night. I used a flour tortilla. I would have used a healthier choice if it wasn't for the large quantity of flour tortillas I have and need to get rid of. I refuse to waste food. 

I added a small amount of cheese and a large handful of shredded spinach leaves.

This was so good.

No Pain, No Gain

I'm not one to complain about the pain I feel a day or two after a workout. I actually like the pain. The pain lets me know I'm doing something right and my workout is working. But a couple days ago I tried a new workout with my exercise ball and the pain that I'm feeling from the sit-ups I did are just plain wicked.

Today
Took T to her audition. It was earlier in the day and in Studio City so no traffic for us. I usually don't watch too much TV during the day mostly because I'm busy and I just don't have the time. I like to listen to music (thanks to Pandora or playlist.com) while I'm working at home. But for whatever reason today I decided to turn Oprah on. I cried pretty much through the whole show. My heart just breaks for Maire Osmond and the pain she is going through. I just couldn't imagine losing a child.

On a brighter note. We had another great day @ work. A couple auditions, one booking, and a client have been put on hold for a co-star role on a sitcom. And the work days are not over yet. Not bad for a holiday.

Dinner
I took the vegetables from the soup I made the other night and 1 can of tomato sauce. Added some herbs and seasoning. Served over whole wheat penne pasta.
