Hurry Hurry

When I woke up at 5:30 this morning I was already behind schedule for my spin class. (It's getting to be a thing. Yay, exercise!) So here is a speedy rundown of all the food I packed for the day.

Post Exercise Pre-Breakfast

• banana (19 cents at TJ's. They charge a buck at the gymbo. Ha!)

Breakfast

• 3/4 cup steel cut oatmeal with cinnamon on top
  
• 1/2 cup strawberries
• 1 tbsp Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Spread (don't judge me)

Lunch

• Grapefruit cocktail (grapefruit, ginger, honey)
• 1/2 cup whole wheat pasta with 1/2 TJ's Just Sauce turkey bolognese (I added shaved brussell sprouts and bell pepper to it)
• broccoli
• 1/2 cup low fat vanilla yogurt

Late Afternoon Snack

• grapes
• sugar snap peas

Sheesh! That seems like a lot of food. But it's actually pretty reasonable if you think about it. Those little boxes and baggies kept me satisfied for about 13 hours. I will be honest and say that sometimes it is a pain to pack it all up every night (or morning) and lug it around with me on the subway to work and then they're clanking all over the place when they are empty on the way back home. But, in the end it's worth it. I save a ton of money and I really get to eat food that I like. Well, I also like cupcakes and candy and barbequed spareribs...just imagine how wonderful THAT lunch would be! But, I digress. Like I said, it's worth it.
