Wednesdays are my least favorite days of the week.  I have a meeting at 6am in the morning, and a meeting at 9pm at night.  Oh yeah, and many meetings in between.  But it’s gotta be done.  Gotta make that money, pay those bills.

After yesterday’s heavy breakfast, I went for light and healthy this morning.  A hard boiled egg, a yogurt, and a honeycrisp apple.

The honeycrisp apples are growing on me.  They are actually really refreshing – moreso than regular apples that I eat because they are so juicy and crisp.  They are not quite as sweet, I think that is why I didn’t like them as much at first.  But they are good, especially first thing in the morning when I am really hungry.

I got these yogurts from Target.  They are Archers Farms fat free, and I got two flavors – cherry pomegranate, and honey almond.  So far I have only tried the cherry pomegranate, but I am really pleasantly surprised.  They are thick and delicious.  Not as good as greek yogurt, but I would definitely buy them again.

Mid-morning I munched on an orange that S had brought home from work the other day and never ate.  It wasn’t very flavorful, but I always like a good dose of vitamin C.

For lunch I had a salad with crab meat.  So far, so good!

I managed to make it into mid-afternoon avoiding the box of Krispy Kremes.  I hid them out of sight, munched on an apple to try to avoid them.  I even broke out the pickles to try to eat something salty so they wouldn’t seem as appealing.

But nope… they were still appealing.

So two went onto my plate, and into my belly.  Not one, but two.  Oh well… at least it wasn’t three.  Or four.  Or nine.

The past few days have just been crazy at work and I have been feeling exhausted.  I really wanted to go to the gym in the afternoon today, especially after eating those two krispy kremes, but I had told S I would wait for him to come home from work.  So at home I sat.

When he finally got home, we headed to the gym where I did 30 minutes on the stair stepper.  I wanted to do stepmill, but they were all taken.  We rushed home for my 9pm meeting, during which I made a quick dinner of an omelette with laughing cow cheese, sauteed shrimp and some baby carrots:

For dessert I had an Edy’s ice cream cup (I’m trying to go the single-serving route to help with my portion control problems) with a handful of pretzels crushed on top.  It was good, the mix of salty and sweet really hit the spot.

Finally, right before bed, I had a pure protein bar.

Tomorrow is my last “work day” of the week because on Friday I get to go in to San Francisco for a class.  At least it’s a break from the ordinary!

I only ate two krispy kremes today, so tomorrow will be day 2 of Operation don’t-eat-all-the-donuts.  Wish me luck with mission impossible.

I have an acorn squash and a butternut squash and am trying to think of what I will make with them this weekend.  What are your favorite squash recipes?

G’night, ya’ll!
