fruity


Hello Thursday readers! We are so very close to the weekend and I am so ready. I have Monday off so just remember that I will be post less for a while! Every blogger needs a break!

I am so excited about the e-mails that I am getting from some of the best companies in the WORLD saying that they are sending samples my way! Thanks to them I have something to look forward too. The living tree is one in particular that has made my day and are going to be sending me something that I have always wanted to try but have yet to. Your just going to have to wait see what that may be!

This morning was out "employee appreciation breakfast". Things like that give me anxiety and I hate to attend. However, I had to. Why do I get anxiety? Because I never ever want to eat the foods that they have. They did have however fruit and I was pleased. It is so awkward for me to grab a bowl of fruit and sit there (I already had my first snack of the morning and my second "breakfast" isnt until 10:00ish. Sitting at the table with the bowl and not touching it was like "Please, judge me!" I had to be social and sit there and I was just waiting to be there for 15 minutes so that I could leave. One thing that did put a smile on my face was that I snagged the half of papaya that was in the fruit tray. Everyone was looking at it and saying "what is that weird looking piece of fruit, it is gross looking." Meanwhile, I was thinking "get out of the way, I want that beauty!" It is so funny to me how A: people never try anything new and B: fruit in the winter is like gold to me. It is SO expensive here and never tastes like it does in the winter. I usually have to stick to grapefruit and apples in the colder months because that is what I can afford. Well take a look at the bowl of fruit I got! I got enough for today and tomorrow to pair with my yogurt and cottage cheese mix. I am looking forward now to my 12:00 meal! MMMMMMM!


How do you manage to get through a sticky situation when you don't want to be rude but you don't want to partake in the food/drink that your work place, family or friends prepare but want to still be social??? I am eager to hear what you have to say!


I made it pretty when I got back to my desk. This really was a treat and I am happy. I am thinking that I should make an effort to buy some fruit other than apples and grapefruit. I missed it! SO what happens when you get a lovely array of fruit in my world?

I never do parfaits! This one was amazing! Oh so goooood!


Today is my first day training my new client and I am both nervous and excited. It is always a huge change for a person that is not active to start working out and a challenge to get in the right mindset to know that this is something that they are going to be held to. She is just the sweetest girl but boy is this going to be a challenge for her. We will be doing intervals today and it will consist of 10 minutes walking 4 minutes jogging. I asked her if she wanted to do walking at a normal pace and then speed walking for the other but she jumped right in and said "I think I can jog, lets do it!) So, I will see how this goes today and let you know. It should be interesting!


Lunch and snacks today will be the same Ole same Ole. This weekend will be a bit different as I have dinner plans and excited to be eating at my favorite (Doc Chey's). A Chinese restaurant that is amazing and makes my food just the way I order, almost every time ;)


So sorry that this is a short post but sometimes I just don't have much to say. I will have a great post for tomorrow though so no worries! See ya!
