And people wonder why I take my lunch break at 3. My reason, dear friends, is that it makes the work day go by infinitely faster! I decided to take my walk at 11:30 today because there’s a storm with rain and potential snow blowing in right now, and I wanted to take advantage of the gorgeous sunny weather beforehand. The walk was great! I hadn’t planned on doing that, so I snacked on a tiny chocolate chip cookie while I headed out:
Yes, you read that correctly. I ate a chocolate chip cookie while I worked out. That’s just how I roll! When I got back I made lunch:
Baby carrots and 1 Tbsp almond butter (not pictured), about a cup of leftover risotto, and a sandwich thin with a slice of provolone and a Morningstar Farms Tomato/Basil patty. This was a great lunch, except my risotto got cold on me while I snapped away! A couple hours after lunch I got bored and, rather than DO something I went and got a snack bag of Cheetos:
Sigh. The good news is the bag was tiny and only half full, but I know I shouldn’t have eaten them. The good news is I shouldn’t be craving Cheetos for a while though! I’m over it now and thinking about what to make for dinner…I’m thinking another yam like I had last night, a leftover black bean burger (don’t worry, it’s been frozen), and maybe an egg? All I know is I want some guacamole and pita chips STAT!
So, I really liked this question from Caitlin’s post last night, so I thought I’d steal it: If you could have any other name, what would it be? I think I would choose Marin or Sophia…no real reason why, other than I really like those names!
reagan – i’ve always loved it!
What a fun question! Mine are kind of weird..don’t laugh. But I like Lucy or Miller.
I love my name : ) Completely happy with it!
That lunch looks delish & and cookie + workout sounds about right to me : )
I used to wish I was named “Abby”, but now I’d be happy with anything unique, or something that can be shortened easily to a nickname. Heather doesn’t really lean towards good nicknames 😉
I’m a late lunch girl and I prefer it as well – the day definitely speeds by!
For some crazy reason I love the name Coburn for a girl. I met someone once with that name and her personality matched it exactly. It’s so different but it just worked! For myself, I am a pretty big fan of my name, I just wish there weren’t so many variations – it never gets spelled right!!
Haha, sounds good to be working out while eating a chocolate chip cookie 😀
My parents almost named me Samantha. I always wondered what it would have been like to be called “Sam” my whole life – but I’m pretty attached to “Michele” so I don’t think I’d trade it for a different name. 😀
My middle name is Marin
I want to try a morning star patty after seeing your posts about them! I’ll have to pick some up soon. I also love those sandwich thins..brilliant idea.
I must say I wouldn’t change my name although when I was younger I wanted to be named Autumn- random!
No shame in the Cheetos, no shame 😉 I have to have my cheeto fix every now and then too.
I always wanted to be named Brooke!
lol– I always give different names at Starbucks, just because I like the thought of having another name. I like too many to choose just one!
When I take lunch, I try to take it later in the day to not break up my productive streak and to make the day go by faster, but 3 is super late!
I actually really like my name – Elizabeth. It’s not an unusual or hard to pronounce name, but I rarely meet anyone else with the same name. My middle name is Kristine and my parents called me Kristy for the first 8 years of my life until I insisted on going by my first name, so in a way, I kind of picked my name afterall. Maybe that’s why I like it. 😉
I have always loved my name and I can’t imagine going by anything else. Although, I went through the world’s biggest Little Mermaid phase when I was little and insisted that everyone call me Ariel for about a week.
I used to eat late, but then I’d snack a lot more. Sorry about spreading the cheetoh craving!
late lunches are totally the way to go! I take mine at 1.
and I would totally eat a cookie while I work out. 🙂
Well… You know I love the name Marin 😉
When I was younger I hated my name. It was different, and I wanted to have a common name like everyone else. Now I love my name for its uniqueness 🙂
Samantha! I may or may not introduce myself as Samantha to creepy guys. 🙂
I really love my name and always have. Never really wanted to change it. 🙂
I’ve always liked my first name and don’t think I would like to be called anything else. When I was a teenager, though, I always thought I was more of a Cindy. Not sure why.
Morgan! I tried to change my name three years ago–meaning, change my email, voicemail, myspace (when it was cool, of course), introductions, etc. Everyone refused to call me Morgan no matter how much I insisted, except my dad. He still calls me that. Yep, I’m a tool.
