Hungry

Lunch today was really yummy… We went to this new Mexican restaurant which seemed to be similar to Moe’s… However, I was NOT impressed… granted it was new and I’m sure they dont have the logistics down yet, but servings were REALLY tiny… as in they used what looked like a 1/4 cup to serve everything, which is fine for the fatty/unhealthy stuff, but when I ordered a salad with grilled veggies & black beans, it was a pile of lettuce and a tiny bit of veggies & beans and a sprinkling of shredded cheese… I added some hot sauce & tons of pico de gallo (for “veggies”) to it as dressing and my mouth was on fire, but in a good sort of way!

I apologize for the icky cell-phone pic… I was trying to be incognito because a lot of my co-workers were at this restaurant today also… I’m not sure if I’ll be going back, maybe once in a while, but it’s not high up on my list   Plus, I was STARVING all afternoon… I hate feeling like that… In the afternoon I had a tangerine, but it didn’t really do the trick, however, I didnt have any other options on hand, so I made myself wait until I could have my pre-spin snack, which was an old standby… A clif mini bar chocolate brownie flavor (sadly the only flavor I have left)… I find that for me there is NO better pre-spin snack…

Spinning was great… The instructors rotate every Thursday and luckily both of them are awesome & have different styles, so I don’t think I’ll ever get “used” to a particular routine… I got there a little early and worked on my abs using the machines – LOVE THESE (I hope they work!)… I burned 450 calories, woo hoo!

Since I’ve been watching “Grill Week” on Food network, I’ve been getting all sorts of cravings… I watched a Throwdown episode where Bobby Flay had a Jamaican Jerk throwdown, which completely made me crave Jamaican jerk AND got me super excited about going back to Jamaica in September!  I decided to make a Boca vegan w/ soy burger and top it off w/ our “authentic” (bought it in Jamaica, but it was bottled in US – go figure!!) Jamaican jerk sauce… this was awesome and made me dream about sitting beach side w/ a tropical frozen drink (complete w/ umbrella of course!)… On the side I had some carrots & garlic hummus…

I think I am properly fueled now… so I’m going to do a little bit of work on my paper & prepare for the 2 hr season finale of LOST!

I’m 99% sure that since I’m staying up until 11pm tonight (normal bed time is 9:45pm) that I will be eating a snack, we’ll see if the belly is a-grumblin’!
