Pizza Pizza!

Today was a lovely day. I got to the gym after work and opted to spend an hour just walking because I'm off tomorrow and want to take my time when I start lifting again. Then I went to get the kiddos, but spotted Nasur pulling out of daycare with the kids. So I told him I was craving pizza and we opted to get some Little Caesar's. It didn't hit the spot so great. I wanted something more saucy and more cheesy, so maybe I'll make some pizza myself later on. My brother and mom introduced me to a really excellent Detroit style pizza and I make it when there are special occasions because it's a bit of a time consuming process, but totally delicious. Anyway, I only ate two slices and one crazy bread, which is crazy little pizza for me. Granted, I did have another slice 2.5 hours later, but typically I eat way more than that. 

I also am having some pain in my knee already. I was almost at my hour mark and had to decrease my incline and slow my pace. For our after dinner walk, I wore my brace and will try to start making it a habit to wear at the gym. The extra support really helps. 

Anywho, I'm really looking forward to vegging in front of the TV tonight. Tomorrow I'm off and have a massage planned and a financial planning session planned. That, and my intention to lift and maybe try out a new recipe will keep me pretty busy.

I forgot a lot of food photos today, but I accidentally skipped breakfast and then had a yummy lunch with a cookie. I had a protein drink later in the day on the way to the gym as well.

Today's lunch - I'm really digging this new skinnytaste gyro sandwich

Getting some steps in and some eats

So, my day yesterday was busy, busy, busy. When I'm on call, the call is 24 hours and there is nothing I like less than a busy 24 hour shift. That being said, when you're too busy to eat, I feel like that probably helps with weight loss. But, the lack of sleep? Maybe that's a negative.

Anywho, once home, I showered, made some breakfast, and then met with our financial advisor to finally start some 529s for the kiddos and put in more of my hard-earned money to our retirement accounts. Money is so complicated and I don't have a clue what I'm doing, so I'm very thankful there are smart folks around to help me.

After 2 hours of financial planning, I watched the last episode of Only Murders in the Building. I'll be honest, I was a bit disappointed in this last episode. For those who are watching, what'd you think? Anyway, because I need to keep moving, I opted to walk in place while watching TV. I know walking isn't much, but it's better than sitting! And these types of small healthy changes can be a big game changer in the grand scope of life. 

After TV, I napped to catch up on the sleep I didn't get yesterday and to get enough sleep for my next two 24 hour shifts. Yes, I'm crying on the inside. After my nap, I made some turkey taco meat for dinner tonight and then went to get the kiddos. Once home, I got dinner together and then we enjoyed some tacos. After dinner, I took the kiddos to Costco to get some milk and watermelon and picked up some good-looking salmon while there. Once home, it was bath time and bed time. After the kids were in bed, I cleaned up a bit and then got the last of my steps in watching Junior Bake Off on Netflix.

Today's food photos are next! Not pictured was my breakfast - had scrambled eggs and some avocado. Also not pictured was my dessert banana (eaten after dinner) and two servings of sliced ham for snackage. 

The perfect banana

My snack after nap time (didn't want to ruin dinner)

Taco! I thought we had hard shells, but alas, we did not, so I had a carb smart tortilla

Second taco, but without the tortilla to save on some calories

Today's dinner fruit (we usually have some kind of fruit with dinner)
