to weigh in yesterday. You see, both Friday and Saturday night I stayed up late to watch some of my shows on the DVR. Tony went to bed and Friday night I stayed up until 1:00 a.m. watching American Idol! And of course, with no one looking, the cheese and crackers came out and it was a lot of mindless eating. 
I don’t know why I do it, like if no one sees me eating it doesn’t really count. And I worked out over the weekend, so I don’t know why I would waste that time at the gym by eating food making it a wash. Gah. But, the weekend is over, this is a new week, and I’ll just have to dust myself off.
Since I still have the panini machine at work, I decided to make my boss and I breakfast paninis. I found burrito size tortillas that are 140 calories each, and the filling was egg whites, baby spinach, an ounce of ham and 1/2 an ounce of cheese. I cooked the egg/spinach/ham mixture at home, then assembled them at work.
We both really liked these – of course, I doused mine in Buffalo Tabasco after this picture was taken. 
My gym bag was packed and I decided to do a 5k on the treadmill. I walked 2 minutes, then ran three minutes, and each subsequent three minute runs I went faster. My last three minute run was at an 8:45 minute pace! Not a bad time for walking/running a 5k!
Tony and I went out for Chinese over the weekend, and I hate to waste leftovers, so I had a cup and a half of our leftovers – his was pan noodles with a bunch of different meat, mine was kung pao shrimp.

I decided to make us taco salads for dinner. I forget how good these are. Mine was lettuce and baby spinach with cucumber, diced tomato, and chopped pickled asparagus.
With ground sirloin, kidney beans and a dollop of Wholly Guacamole – yum! My dressing was 1/3 cup of my baja fresh salsa mixed with 1 tablespoon light ranch.
The spicy guacamole is amazeballs!
So while it was 51 degrees yesterday afternoon, this morning is 11 degrees, with a wind-chill of zero, and snow flurries are expected. I am so done with this winter already! When I posted the temp on facebook, I was a bit jealous of people who had temps in the 70s! (Kelly and Charlie, I am looking at you two!)
Right now I have a batch of banana granola pancakes going with the new Chobani flavor of banana yogurt. They look good! I’ll post the recipe tomorrow. I also have a three bean pork chili for lunch today – I made it over the weekend so it will be interesting to see how the flavors melded together.
Question of the Day: Do you eat when no one is looking?
Make it a great day!
Hey there! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading this post reminds me of my previous room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this post to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Many thanks for sharing!
Salsa + ranch? Oh my…that sounds heavenly! Especially YOUR salsa – the best! 🙂 I eat donuts when no one’s looking…in very small pieces when I walk by them. I have asked time and time again that hubby not buy them, or if he does, to buy just 1-2 for him so they’re GONE. But, no…they just sit there and call my name. And they’re my most favorite splurge food 🙁
