7/6/5/4/3/2 days to go...

WOW giant fail this week in keeping up with everything. I'll do my best to summarize.

Breakfasts have been all smoothies all week. I'm officially addicted I think. No breakfast today.

Lunches (all except Friday and today) were salad with either tuna, salmon, or chickpea patty with cucumbers and home-made croutons. Friday I had leftovers of Thursday night's Vietnamese noodles. Today I had sushi lunch with my brother. I was SOO full from all the beer and poutine that I barely ate anything.

Dinners:
Monday - chickpea patty burger
Tuesday - same
Wednesday -  last of the pork tenderloin fillet with huge plate of greens
Thursday - few slices of pizza from a meeting at work and half an order of Vietnamese noodles
Friday - beer (haha), half a small order of boneless chicken wings and poutine (yeah, we celebrated my birthday. We also had cheesecake that my coworkers had brought in for me! Yay!

Exercise:
- Monday and Tuesday - gym after work, both really hard workouts
- Wednesday and Thursday - none, busy running errands for the trip
- Friday - none, out with friends
- Saturday - none officially, but I was out walking around and I cleaned the whole apartment from top to bottom. That almost counts, because my back is killing me.

So for those of you who know when I leave, you'll notice that I fail at counting. We are leaving Wednesday, not Monday as the countdown would indicate. Whoops!

8 days to go...

Today was a really chill day. Really chill. I slept until 12:30am and lazed around until I went for a walk to run an errand and do a restorative yoga class. I ran another errand to the drug store later and that's it. Pretty mellow.

Brunch: an omelette with salsa and a piece of soda bread.

Dinner: a piece of pork loin, a LOT of greens and some whole wheat pasta with pesto. Dessert was a small date square that my grandpa made and I had frozen, and testing a failed batch of red velvet cupcakes for the co-workers.

Workout: hmm not a physical workout but a calming restorative yoga class. I have been a total and utter mess lately (my poor boyfriend...I feel so bad for him) so I needed the grounding, cooling and calming class. It definitely helped.

Snack tonight was a small bowl of ancient grains cereal.

Yep, nothing major today. This week I'm going easy on the food and hard on the workouts I hope. I'm anxious to get into that bathing suit!! This time next week I'll be in my man's arms and all ready for our first vacation together!
