I apologize for the super late post! It was a crazier (busy) day than expected, plus I got to the gym later than normal and still had to do laundry & pack for Cooperstown!
Anyway, this will be a short & sweet post…
My dinner (since we got home late – had to pick up a car from the shop!) was a pb&j sandwich with kashi and cottage cheese… I was going to make something more dinner-like, but for some reason I really wanted pb&j, probably since I haven’t had it in a few days!
After dinner, I headed to the gym for 30 minutes of cardio (15 mins elliptical + 15 mins treadmill) and 20 minutes of upper body weights + abs… It was a good tough workout! I felt pumped & energetic when I got home, so I had all these ambitious goals of packing & stuff… After an hour of doing laundry & packing up, the tiredness has hit me… I didn’t really feel like packing anymore but unfortunately I still have to! Oh well… to keep me going, I decided to have another mini meal… 1/8 cup bulgur w/ chocolate chips, yogurt raisins, nuts, and a drizzle of maple syrup… It didn’t really help w/ keeping me awake, if anything, my belly is full and I’m ready for bed 
Do you all dread packing as much as me?

Those melty chocolate chips look heavenly!
I dread packing so so so much. I always end up doing it an hour before I need to, then I fear I’ll forget something! I wish it was like Mary Poppins where I can just snap and everything will pack itself.

Okay, that bedtime mini-meal looks BEYOND scrumptious – glad that your belly is full :0D
I dread UNpacking more than I do packing… but they’re both pretty brutal, haha ;0)

Yuck– packing.
The bulgur looks terrific– do you cook it, or eat it raw? I’ve only ever had bulgur in tabbouli.

Romina ~ Ahhh, being Mary Poppins would definitely be awesome!
VeggieGirl + creatingadiva + MizFit ~ That’s true… Unpacking is much worse!!!!!
ChocolateCoveredVegan ~ No I definitely ate it cooked… I don’t think it would taste very good uncooked
I think even in tabbouli it is cooked first, right?
Jill ~ hehehe, def not awesome!
oatmeal ~ Haha…
I know, I had all my favorites today (except for ice cream!)…
RhodeyGirl ~ LOL, it’s funny you say that because I enjoy coming up w/ outfit ideas (I definitely plan it all out in excel like weeks in advance)! But I hate doing all the laundry & packing it all away!
Jenn ~ Yeah I’m not a huge fan of them because they are calorie dense, however, just a sprinkling of them in bulgur or oats hits the spot!

Yup, tabbouli is cooked first.
