A Well "Balanced" Lunch

Hi all! It’s been a great morning so far, although I have been in meetings for a total of about 2 1/2 hours. Luckily it has not been one straight meeting, because I tend to zone out after an hour or so.

After my great run this morning, I munched on more crunchy cereal…

It was my standard mix of Kashi Go Lean Crunch and cheerios.

On my way to work, I heard Starbucks calling my name so I stopped to get a tall mocha frap with light whip cream. Bummer that it nearly melted completed before I was able to drink it. I don’t like taking “frozen drinks” into business meetings. Even though it’s technically coffee, it somehow screams “spring break” and I don’t like to give that impression. Any hoo, the drink just sat there lonely on my desk, developing condensation. I came back to a melted drink and a wet desk. No fun…but the drink was still good.

Because a girl can’t live on frozen coffee alone – although I’m sure some girls think they can! – I made sure to eat a healthy lunch. It’s all about balance, ladies!

I had a 1/2 turkey sandwich on whole-grain bread with three-layer Trader Joe’s hummus and a little feta cheese. Hmm…good! I also had a side of carrots and a few pretzel “chips”.

Now, I think I’m all set for the afternoon.

We have a big day planned for tomorrow and the whole weekend. More details to follow tonight!
