I gotta make this post a quick one because I have to get to bed asap since I am getting up at 5 am!!!!  YIKES!  Clinical starts at 7 am, and I won’t be done until 4pm (I have an hour break at 12)!  It’s gonna be a long one!  I decided against the gym today and stuck with the outdoors theme by going for a run outside in my neighborhood!  It was 50 minutes of just what I needed (I walked some/more than usual…I was feeling sluggish today, and listened to my body)!  So, for dinner I quickly decided to make Veganomicon’s caesar dressing (sort of–I didn’t use any oil that it called for).  I halved the recipe, and had half of it on a huge bed of romaine with some spinach and cucumber and topped it with fresh ground black pepper.  It was pretty tasty!  I love caesar salads!  With my salad I had 1 cup dry whole wheat penne with .75 cups canned crushed tomatoes with oregano, thyme, basil, and garlic powder.  I also cooked in about an ounce of vegan gourmet to make the sauce a bit creamy.  This was a very filling dinner at 587 calories, 18 g fat, 18 g fiber, and 29 g protein. 

Even though I wasn’t hungry I still thought I needed a snack and would probably be hungry soon due to the fact that I was most likely full from such volume!  So, I had a banana bread muffin and an apple.  Yummy snack!  My snack was 231 calories, 1 g fat, 9 g fiber, and 3 g protein.  

Now, I must shower, pack my lunch, watch a CD-ROM to learn some things for tomorrow, and most importantly, go to bed!!!  Tomorrow’s post will be all in one most likely.  Have a good evening!
