34/33/32 days to go...

I can't believe how close to the trip we are! In one month Monday we'll be taking flight! Exciting!!

Tuesday was a smoothie for breakfast, time time I skipped the banana and tried to make it just with frozen raspberries, mango, yogurt, flaxseed oil, orange juice and protein powder. Unfortunately, and contrary to what I'd thought, the lack of banana made this smoothie really thick. Not so good.

Tuesday we went out for a labmate's last day for lunch at the local grad student pub. I had a chicken caesar wrap with tortilla chips (not bad since the burgers come with fries). Also this was a pretty weak chicken caesar wrap. It was watery caesar dressing with lettuce and bits of chicken.

Dinner was salmon with bok choy. Yum! I stopped in at the grocery store after the gym to pick up some of my boyfriend's favourite salsa and picked up some organic tortilla chips. I made some makeshift nachos while I watched Glee. I also had a great gym day on Tuesday, with a nice sweaty cardio and some amazing arm and ab work. Go me!

Yesterday, I made a smoothie, this time with banana. Lunch was a huge fail yesterday. I had packed my usual salad/yogurt but was starving mid-way through the morning so I grabbed a whole-wheat bagel from downstairs. This means that instead of actual lunch I had an apple around 2pm because I was full. Dinner yesterday was pizza for a meeting I had to stay late for. Altogether I didn't have time for the gym today, so there goes that.

Today, breakfast was eggs with toast (a rare treat). I had no appetite after this massive breakfast so I had a few tortilla chips, an apple and a piece of a friend's birthday cake. I had a bagel and a banana on the road since I was supposed to have dinner with Rob. However, he ran late to go out with his brother, so I picked up some cheese curds (another treat) and a small spinach pizza, which I ate half of. Again, no gym today and definitely a bad eating day. It's the week before "shark week" so I'm bloated and after all this food I feel terrible.

It's too bad that I'm going on vacation to my parents' house this weekend and am expecting to eat like garbage so next week will be serious bootcamp for that dress. Mostly I'm doing alright and I'm conscious of everything I eat, but absolutely lack of time and lack of discipline under stress is leading to poor choices.

Tomorrow is a new day though!
