MDW: Part Deux / Workout Wednesday

First and foremost, please take a moment to read Whitney‘s brave and truly touching post on dealing with her illness and they way people treat her. Let’s spread awareness and try to end some of the ignorance – dealing with an illness is hard enough.

I decided to go to church – my hometown church in fact. 

I am so glad I went, it was an incredibly uplifting experience.

I spent a good deal of time making sure I made the first deadline for the e-book. Shortly after I headed to a bbq hosted by some of my favorite people. Great company, delicious grilled food, a huge bonfire, classic playlist and pretty fireworks made for a wonderful evening.

 

Monday:

Monday I slept in, popped open a green Kombucha and spent a good portion of the afternoon

working, writing and marketing some of my new projects on the deck & enjoying the gorgeous weather.

 I spent a good deal of time at Barnes & Noble getting writing books and researching a variety of topics. Nothing makes me happier than immersing myself in literature.

After picking up some cute Boston-esque little gifts, I headed to Jamaica Plain for a friends going away party. It was one of those nights that I knew one person when I walked in the door and left with a creative muse/new bff (in the gorgeous sky blue dress), lots of new acquaintances and some pretty surreal memories to look back on.

My shipment of new clothes comes in tomorrow and after a full week of working out more days than not and extremely clean eating, I’m feeling nice and slender.

Friday one of my co-workers who knows of my affinity for clean eating, fiber-rich meals and trying new dishes – asked me to suggest a new place for lunch.

Before I had the chance to reply she had sent me a pdf of local Legal Sea Foods vegetarian menu.

She had highlighted Legal’s version of a bento boxed lunch (pictured below): brown rice, broccoli, firm cubes of delicately seasoned tofu, cashews, mushrooms, carrots and savory onion. It was delicious and kept us full for hours – and we had actually split one entree!

Back to the gym today (I was running on four hours of sleep Tuesday and in

keeping it real with myself, did not even bring my dang gym bag with me to work. 

How are your workouts progressing and how close
