Wednesday Rush

Slept pretty good…not great, but good.  If only it had been before 2am when I fell asleep it could have been great!

This morning I still had that headache.  I don’t get headaches often so when I do there is usually a reason.  I’m going with serious lack of water over the last few days, too many late/sleepless nights, and the need for a good massage.

Haligonians:  has anyone tried Massage Addict?  (I think I’ve asked this before…) They offer a great price because you have to sign up for monthly sessions.  I want to give them a shot but there’s are so many therapists to choose from I don’t know who to pick!

Today, my water bottle is my BFF.

And I made sure to get protein, fibre, and fresh fruit into my breakfast this morning.  WW English muffin with almond butter and honey, with a side of kiwi and strawberries.

Pain in the Head

People.  I have a crazy headache that just won’t quit.

So yes, I’m sitting in front of the computer again.  LOL.  go me!

Admittedly I probably brought it on myself by not eating proper meals today.  For the first time in a very long time I missed both a real breakfast and totally forgot lunch.

I was on the run this morning for an appointment and a few errands, so breakfast ended up being the deeeelish latte you saw earlier and half of a Coconut Crack Cream Pie Larabar.  I only ate half thinking I’d go home and make lunch…oooops.

Work got away from me and then next thing I knew it was like 4pm, I was cranky, thirsty, had a headache and realized I was starving.

Instead of making a meal…thinking I’d make a big and lovely dinner…I broke into the strawberries I picked up this morning.  A pound of strawberries makes a meal right?  Yup, whole box…gone!  (good thing they were BOGO!)

And a Choco-Cran-Almond Bar

Finally around 6:30 I walked away from work for a bit and wandered around the kitchen.  I will admit that I was seriously considering driving to Wendy’s for chicken strips.  That’s when bad choices occur…when I’ve screwed up my daily eats.  But you will all be glad to know that I was a good girl and made a comfort food sammich instead. 

Bacon and tomato with a little herby cream cheese on ww bread. B&T are my fave!!

And broke into some fresh pea pods to snack on after my sammich.

More work ensued for a short period of time, and then FH went out for a bit so I took the opportunity to steal the couch and cozy up to watch So You Think You Can Dance and Big Brother.  (Yes, I realize I spend a lot of time talking about TV on here…but you all secretly love it I know!)

While watching I finally got myself some of that yummy ice cream I was talking about the other night.  Amazingly I stuck to one serving of Hoof Prints…gotta love those little PB cups!

It was right around that time that I realized I didn’t do any activity today.  ooops.  Well, my back thanked me for it and feels much better so tomorrow I’ll get back on track.  See…new Planner!

And now, here it is midnight yet again and I’m still awake.  Time for some more Sookie and Tylenol and hopefully a solid night’s sleep.  (Last night insomnia struck yet again…this is getting old!)

Oh, and last but certainly not least, a shout out to my Haliblogger superstar gal pal Angie!  She was on the news tonight and was absolutely lovely and inspiring.  :)

Did you get your Pumpkin Spice Latte yet?

Proof that social media does indeed influence purchasing decisions…

While out running errands today I added “stop at Starbucks for a Pumpkin Spice Latte” to my list because I had at least ten Twitter or Facebook updates shouting at me about them this morning.

Just yesterday we were all complaining that Summer seems to be ending and we aren’t pleased about it happening so early, but today we are hit over the head with Pumpkin Spice ads/tweets/emails/posters and a herd of us hurried right to the shops for a hit of tasty Autumn goodness.

LOL.

I will say though, that if I’m going to be influenced to buy something, I’m glad it was a yummy caffeinated beverage!!

Deeeeelish.
