Shopping!
January 3, 2009
So I had a little change of plans today. My mom and sister wanted to go shopping to get my sis a new suit for some interviews she’s having, so we went to the Westchester Mall for the afternoon. And I got a new coat on SALE at Jcrew! Yay 
I had a tall coffee from Starbucks as we walked around, with a bit of skim milk and 1 splenda
At around 2:00 we went for lunch which is late but it ended up being perfect since I had such a late breakfast. We ate at the Nordstroms Cafe. I got the half sandwich/soup/salad option. It had half a turkey sandwich (with lettuce, tomato, mustard) on wheat bread, a cup of tomato soup with a crostini, and a green salad with balsamic dressing on the side.
I only ate about half of the soup and crostini because it was a lot creamier than I thought it would be.
And I finished off everything else!
They also gave us these little chocolate mint sticks with the bill so I ate one of those.
I thankfully managed to get to the gym when we get home from the mall. I did 25 minutes on the Arc Trainer on level 7, plus 10 minutes on the Stairmaster (the one with the revolving staircase) 5 mins at level 8 and 5 mins at level 9 followed by about 5 minutes of stretching.
I came home to TACO NIGHT! woohooo. I made a healthy taco and photographed the process… Here is my mom and sister, Jenna, with our taco bar beautifully presented
I started off with about a 1/4 cup of 2% cheddar cheese and a big glob of refried beans on a whole wheat tortilla…
then I added diced red pepper, lettuce and chopped tomatoes…
with a dollop of medium salsa and water on the side! It was HUGE and soo good.
And I still needed a little something else so decided on an orange.
And for dessert about a square of Trader Joe’s vegan (I like it vegan for some reason) 72% Dark Chocolate.
And there you have it… my first full day of blogging. How exciting!!! Tomorrow, there is a yoga studio near me that is celebrating it’s 5th year anniversary by having a full day of free classes! I am going to two 45 minute classes in the morning so am looking forward to that. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
