Daily Download: Week One: Wednesday

Little man made it a very easy night on us last night, plus it didn't hurt that we got to bed by 10pm. He slept 6 hours from 8:30pm - 2:30am, when I got up to feed him. During these morning feedings, I don't need to engage with him as much since I need him to go back to sleep {and he's usually sleeping through the bottle anyway} so I had a chance to read my new issue of Shape magazine and there was some great information in there {will share a couple tidbits that I took away later - some great reading!}.

Breakfast:  had a slim fast protein shake on the way to work {not because I'm on the slimfast diet, but because I didn't have anything else good for breakfast and it was in the cupboard, plus it gives me my skim milk in the morning}. Around 9:30am I had two hard boiled eggs.

Diet Mt Dew {unfortunately my caffeine is still a must}

Late morning these little devils were delivered to my office {I always buy from my employee's kids} and were staring at me until I finally walked them down to the host office and left them for everyone else. Last year, I devoured a whole box of those lemonade cookies in a two day span...not going to risk repeating that again.

Lemonades & Thin Mints...oh my!

Lunch: remainder of chicken salad from dinner last night. Chicken, celery, hard boiled eggs, mustard and a dollop of light mayo - no bread or crackers.

...all I can think about is walking all the way down to the Host office to shove a couple of cookies into my mouth. Need.Will.Power.

Diet Mt Dew & teryaki beef jerky

Dinner: 1/2 vegetarian enchilada I made the other night from my Cooking Light cookbook

Water: 8 - 8oz

Exercise: drug myself out of bed by 5am for my girl Tracy Anderson...I really enjoy this workout, but find it hard to believe that after gaining 60lbs with her son a couple years ago that she has a body like that. Unless she's some type of superwoman or something...

I have to say I'm pretty impressed that I did not give in to my cookie craving...now it's out of sight, out of mind.
