I feel so bad for the people in the Philippines right now. All this rain we’ve been getting in Japan is coming from the two typhoons that have recently hit the Philippines. I should start counting my blessings instead of complaining so much. It’s so easy to forget how much worse my life and situation could always be.
I’m setting a new goal for myself: No more starting blogs with complaining… things could always be SO much worse. Besides, who wants to read negative thinking all the time? Not me! And probably not you either.
After a less than stellar start to my morning, today ended up not being so bad.
I made sure to drag one of our heavier covers out of the closet and wash it today. This girl will not be having trouble sleeping tonight because of being cold.
Lunch:
My breakfast was super filling and tided me over until after I returned from the grocery store, which was close to 12:30! I was super hungry, though, and wanted a “real” sit down kind of lunch.
Leftover sloppy joe mix on wheat bread, 1/2 an Asian pear, and a salad
Our refrigerator was REALLY full after my visit to the store, so I used some leftovers to make my sandwich. The wheat bread I bought a few days ago is so thick that I couldn’t even imagine putting two pieces together again for a sandwich. So, I cut one piece into two and used that. It was easy to do and a good idea.
See my cute new salad bowl? Inside of this bowl is some lettuce, spinach, sprouts (!!!), onion, green pepper, green onion, craisins, and a little drizzle of Italian dressing. Yes, I did try the sprouts again, and once more, I enjoyed them. I think we can officially say that Maria is a sprouts lover. And what’s not to love about that?
I bought a new variety of tea than my usual today. The package was so appealing and I thought the tea would probably have a good flavor, too.
My thoughts? The tea smelled amazing! That alone might have sealed the deal for me. Lucky for me, it tasted good too. The strawberry flavoring wasn’t very strong. It tasted more like regular black tea than strawberry tea, but it still had a nice taste. I would buy it again, for sure.
Snack-time:
Some more of my weird crackers, along with a soft cheese, were my snack between lunch and dinner. They weren’t too bad when I added a little cheese on top of them. Still probably never buying this kind again.
Dinner:
Tacos with a little bit of beef, lots of lettuce, and onion, and a reheat of mac ‘n cheese with some frozen veggies thrown in.
I didn’t put much beef in mine, since I just ate sloppy joe leftovers for lunch. Instead I loaded up with veggies tonight… even skipping the cheese since I already had some on my macaroni. So proud of myself for that. It’s been a veggie day for sure.
——————————————————–Had a great ST session and yoga practice today instead of the run that I had scheduled in on my GCal. I knew that if I insisted on the run it would never, ever happen. The odds of me convincing myself that running outside in the cold, windy, rain were zero to none. It was a much better idea (and more likely to actually happen) to switch my workouts around for this week depending upon the weather. So, today’s run will wait for another (and hopefully more pretty) day.
Super excited to figure out today that I am able to listen to my favorite radio station from back home online! I was so happy to have some tunes while I worked today.
