...is it Weds already?

I sat down to post about 5 different times yesterday but kept getting sidelined but other things. Silly life getting in the way of my blogging...

Mon. 3/28:

• breakfast: whole wheat english muffin w/ earth balance and strawberry jam and 8oz of organic chocolate milk
• am snack: apples w/ peanut butter, wheat thins
• lunch: taco and bean burrito from Taco Bell w/ a small soda
• pm snack: fruit smoothie w/ whey protein (post workout)
• dinner: big salad w/ bell pepper, onion, mozz cheese, parmesan ranch dressing and a packet of Lean Cuisines garlic chicken spring rolls - delicious!!
• 1 hour workout
• 0 cigarettes
• $5 spent on lunch
• 12:30am bedtime - ugh

Tues. 3/29:

• breakfast: oatmeal w/ stevia, cinnamon, earth balance, and a splash of 2% milk
• am snacks: pears, raw almonds, wheat thins and an 8oz organic chocolate milk (Horizon sells their organic flavored milks in this little juicebox boxes - so convenient for work! I love them!)
• lunch: butter chicken (not sure why they call it that, it doesn't really taste like butter at all lol), basmati rice, curried potatoes, some kind of delicious pea/mushroom mix in this amazing sauce, naan bread from this little Indian place near work
• dinner: a big salad w/ the usual, a small serving of mom's frito chili pie - my belly was still a little full from lunch and my salad. 
• pm snack: dark chocolate almond milk
• no workout
• 0 cigarettes
• $9 spent on lunch
• 12:30am bedtime.. again

I've had a little bit of insomnia going on the last few nights. I get really tired about 9, but I stay up until about 11 anyway and then by the time I do go to bed it's like I've caught a second wind or something and it takes me forever to settle down. Mike seems to be experiencing the same thing because once I finally do think I might fall asleep he starts talking to me about how he's not tired and blah blah blah... it's a vicious cycle!

I'm so tired today but I did pack my gym bag this morning and absolutely plan on hitting the gym after work today. I think it will make me feel better and hopefully will help me sleep better tonight. I've got to start getting up when my alarm goes off instead of hitting snooze for 30mins... this gloomy winter-like weather has definitely not been helping my morning efforts. It's almost April for chrissake!!! 

I think we may go home for lunch today and I'm actually pretty excited about it because I'm really hungry for a pita pizza... for which I will post a little recipe for you here now:

Mini Pita Pizza

• 1 Kontos Pizza Parlor Crust (they're about the size of a regular sized pita, but made with olive oil so they have good fats! Plus 4g of fiber)
• 1-2 tbsp's of spaghetti sauce (I usually use Wegman's brand smooth marinara or Prego classic tomato basil)
• 1/4 - 1/2 cup of shredded part-skim mozzarella - use as much or as little as you like 
• Toppings as you like them! I usually use bell pepper, onion, and about 4 turkey pepperonis
• Pre-heat oven to 400F, bake for 10-12 minutes - enjoy!

With the toppings and amount of cheese I use for my tastes this quick and yummy lunch or dinner comes to about 350 calories - not bad, and way better than a Lean Cuisine pizza or the like!!
