Steam Room and Elliptical Fun

Last night there was a change of plans. Dinner got postponed to next week since my friend ended up having to work late. I do not like going home right after work because it puts me at too much risk of a binge so I decided to head back to the gym for a little.

I did not do any cardio since I took a spin class in the morning. There was a Total Body Conditioning Class starting 15 minutes after I got off work so I decided to do that instead of going home and waiting till 7:30 for the class. The class went well. It was nice to get in my weight training for the week.

After the class, I sat in the steam room for a bit. The gym near my home does not have a steam room so I decided to take advantage of being at my work gym at night. It felt so nice! Here is a nice article explaining some of the benefits of a steam room:

Steam Room Benefits

It was so relaxing and just what I needed. I also put conditioner in my hair the whole time to give my hair a deep treatment. It came out so nice and smooth! I should start doing this once a week, especially to help my mind relax.

I got home and had a package and some samples waiting for me!

The FedEx box contained…….

POPCHIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They offered to make me a member of their taste panel since I am obviously a huge fan. I get to try out new flavors that they are thinking of coming out with. Of course I happily agreed! They sent me two different version of Sour Cream & Onion. Yum!

I was so starving when I got home that I immediately ran into the kitchen and brought out my mozzarella cheese chunk! I had a few slices with pickles while deciding what to make for dinner.

I decided on something quick and delicious….an AMY’S BURRITO!!

I popped open a beer while I waited for it to heat up.

I also made a frozen veggie mix with cucumbers and hummus for the side.

I get the Non-Dairy Burritos but I had some deli cheese to use up so I melted a slice on the burrito. Very good!

After dinner, I really wanted something sweet but was not sure if I should get started with the ice cream. I decided to try to control myself and have 1 bowl.

I added pumpkin butter, chocolate chips, and whipped cream. YUM!!!!

Yes, I was very full but I went back in that kitchen. I made 1 more scoop of ice cream with Sugar-free Jello.

I know I did not need the 2nd bowl but at least I did not go crazy and make a 3rd!! I also had a 2nd beer too! Good thing I got in a good workout!!

I was considering going to the gym in the morning after eating so much last night but I really could not get up today. My room was freezing! I think the heat was broken last night.

I got to work ready for some oats! I brought a new flavor of an Honest Foods bar to try!

I crumbled a piece of it into my oats along with Grapes, Gerber Apples, Cinnamon, and Milk.

I loved this mix of add ins!! The Almond Trail Mix bar was pretty good! I like the Apple Ginger flavor more but this did the trick! I kind of ate all 3 bags of my Hannah Montana freeze dried fruits at work yesterday which is why I had Gerber today! I really can only bring 1 bag at a time to leave in my desk!

I enjoyed my bowl with a cup of Tazo Awake tea. Yum!

I went to the gym at lunch because I am not sure if I can go tonight. I also will not be able to go all weekend since I am going to my parent’s house in Philly tomorrow. I did a lovely 35 minutes on the elliptical. I did 2 minute intervals of level 4 and level 10. It is nice to have that done for the day in case my friend comes over early tonight.

I came back to work ready for lunch! I made a tuna sandwich last night to bring today!

Ingredients:

  • Arnold’s Sandwich Thin
  • Mustard
  • Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
  • American Cheese
  • Cucumbers
  • Tuna

Delicious! I love tuna with hummus! Such a great combination. Of course I had to try out my new popchips sample!

The verdict: DELICIOUS!! This might be my favorite flavor yet!! I am excited to see how the second bag compares!! I hope they start selling this very soon!
Speaking of popchips, today is your last chance to win a case!!! Enter here!!! I also have tons of $1.00 off coupons so shoot me an email if you would like me to send you one!
I am off because I actually have a lot to do for the rest of the day at work! Very rare at my job! Have a nice weekend!!
