monday, monday, blah, blah, blah...

mondays are my least favorite day of the week. it doesn't matter how much i try and give myself a mental pep talk, mondays are just poopy. i realize it's a first work problem. and maybe i shouldn't complain. i mean, at least i have a job that allows me to experience "the mondays."

anyways, so work was pretty eh. things are picking up, but i still don't have enough to fill my 10hr work day, so after about midday the hours just d r a g by.

i realized today that i tend to have my biggest snack cravings at the beginning and end of the week. today brought an excruciating case of what i'm deeming the "monday munchies." i played by the 10 minute rule and after holding out and still craving something sweet, i allowed myself a bit of chocolate with my coffee. there's something about pairing black coffee with a sweet treat that is oh, so satisfying.  

the frustrating thing is that i was hungry all day. it was one of those days where my normal eating schedule just didn't suffice. and of course only my lunch was prepped. i didn't have any of my usual snacks packed and ready, but i was able to get creative and toss together a few healthy alternatives from the break room. 

after work, i hit the gym to test out a brand spankin' new lifting routine. i love my old routine, but my body was beginning to get too used to it, and i wasn't feeling that feel-good soreness afterwards. 

and that about wraps up my day. chowed on a great post-gym dinner and am just cozy as a clam, relaxing to a bit of Shark Week. :)

nighters!
