Since work is the place I spend majority of my day you would think it wouldn’t have taken me 4 years to figure out that I should probably stock up on some healthy items and leave them in the fridge here and at my desk in case I miss breakfast, hunger strikes, or I’m tempted to eat the donuts brought weekly. Donuts, by the way, are gross. I don’t even like them and yet I find myself mindlessly snacking on them when they are brought to work and I am hungry.

So I went to target this morning on my way to work and bought 100 calorie fruit cups, cheddar rice cakes (which I love), hummus, baby carrotts and bananas. Each snack is about 100 cal. so should fit right in and help me stay around 1350 calories per day.

After my workout this morning I made a toasted mini wheat bagel, wtih one (measured) teaspoon of chunky peanut butter and a smoothie made with 2/3 cup frozen unsweetened strawberries and 1/2 cup of milk. With my cup of coffee the whole meal came out to 318 calories.

See you after lunch!
