Breakfast was a banana pudding shake. It was delicious. Delicious in a "this is a dessert" type of way. I've never been a sweets-for-breakfast gal (especially since I threw up pancakes one time during a bout of food poisoning--TMI), and this was good but just a little too much.
At any rate, if you'd like to make your own, it consists of:
Snack was as many mini Triscuits as I could shove into my face and still be professional on a recruiting call.
Then my boss canceled a meeting, so I went to the gym and did 30 minutes on the exercise bike. And checked work e-mails. Multi-tasking! That's 7.5 miles, 200 calories, and a few HR issues solved.
I didn't take a picture of lunch because it was a business lunch and Mega Boss was there. That would be weird, right? But here's a picture I stole off the internet. We went to Katerina's in Manassas, and I had the chicken souvlaki and a side salad (and NO DELICIOUS POTATOES), plus 2 pieces of pita.
And then I went to Medical Massage Specialities for a sports massage because I had a gift certificate, and because my "special" hip was feeling all sorts of jacked up (technical term). It was enjoyable, and the therapist (Brian) did Assisted Stretching and told me I was flexible, until he got to my hamstrings. That's where I keep allllllll of the tension. I hide it in my hamstrings. This is my third massage there, and I dig it--first, because the prices are reasonable, and you get 60 minutes, not 50, plus they always go over. Second, because they always run specials (just check out their Facebook and/or get their e-mails) so it's even more affordable. And third, because their relaxation area is actually relaxing and not stuffy and has snacks. See?
Anyway, if you want to try it out, here's a coupon from their latest e-mail. And tell them I sent you, because I get...something? I don't remember what. I'm not telling you for the swag, I'm telling you because they're an awesome local business. And also, you need a massage. Here, have 20% off. Or buy 3 gift cards (heeeey Mother's Day) and get one for yourself. Or just use them all on yourself. I'm not here to judge you.
Then, it was Cinco de Mayo (go Mexico--beat the French!) so Chris and I made a little feasty feast. This was my cheat meal for the week, not because it was unhealthy, but because there was so much of it. We had: turkey tacos, chips & salsa, guacamole, jicama and mango with tajin seasoning, refried beans, and tequila that we bought in Mexico when we'd had too much tequila. It was good and I'd do it again!
In Kate news, she and Wills made a run for it, heading to their country home at Sandringham, where they'll be left alone. Not pictured: Prince or Princess McCheeks. Wills drove. Kate wore a new $198 scarf, which is what one does upon giving birth, apparently.
Hope you had a good day, my people! Tomorrow I'll probably discuss one of my Repli-Kate outfits or what Beyonce wore to the Met Gala (spoiler alert: ALL the sequins).
At any rate, if you'd like to make your own, it consists of:
- Ice cubes (12-15)
- Banana (or you can be clever and freeze banana slices and use less ice)
- Vanilla Protein Powder (I prefer soy and use a half scoop)
- Milk (skim, 1%, almond, whatever)
- Light Instant Banana Pudding, about a tablespoon
