Foggy Tuesday

<p>I slept like a rock last night and it felt great! Woke up, hopped out of bed, and hit the gym for a quick <strong>20 minute interval run</strong>! Boy do those really get my heart pumping.</p> <p>Did you know interval training not only elevates your metabolism for a longer period of time after exercise (so you burn more fat when resting), but it also keep  your body from using muscle as fuel! Learned that in my Oxygen magazine last month!</p> <p>After my quicky run I made my usual <strong>oatmeal</strong> with <strong>PB2</strong> and a <strong>small sliced banana</strong> for <strong>4 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRdPNdx-bpdgB32Suof-a2xSk3dy1ZRGqtDHBes4oK69dOV5AfaB8rZ_256jaTbZ0ftuu_ShlmIRStqYyXvn3bJsHIxm4wmNub4JaJ_lOYmwFkpKkK02kyvG4oS9er1mGvmSN29qccetYC/s1600-h/DSC06333%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06333" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjws6xiG0r36mydzZZBOiCqZgFtcke_HnowKd4OHmLroLrRZ7YdTzU3OHnpqnD_GgbxBVhLRkaLGY4bOzeoKQaGYjyPz2zptXSeTJU7D92X4t_frTEEd4P5Hi5tn5sDh7fXFhAk-44CstkQ/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC06333" width="404" /></a></p> <p>I was <u>uber</u> productive this morning at work. Not that I am not always productive, it just seemed like I was <u>EXTRA</u> today!! :) </p> <p>My first morning snack was <strong>1 cup</strong> of <strong>grapes</strong> for <strong>1 point</strong>. These are some of the smallest grapes I've had before, but they are SUPER crisp! Doesn't usually happen that way. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4MU98NZAfITg2cWSQjxWiOARyQ3O31Sze0oncRLFunGzmYzSfUZlqFRZNO-C2EyDv177HoaOygW3ydvpy_s3B-CdMOiKwxUIyGcJqQN1s5BYr9aUsZNkt4PlcFdHOkSW_cc9BNpWPJ-Fr/s1600-h/DSC06334%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06334" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFuiNH3aNp0Qf3I6-bioKKP8jqI_zgA-IT2eDPzDbt4y_gjovMT3w67E2QhQSdcAYZjcyWOOkpGrZpDum9YHX_EiMp3uh7CX4lgcf9kg63VJh1Y2R15WDJVrx0b2O12V6_ROw5RA1vQFTv/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC06334" width="404" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p>About 1 1/2 hours later I had<strong> ww strawberry yogurt</strong> with <strong>1/4c</strong> of <strong>grapes nuts</strong> for <strong>2 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwb0A2ROQuM0FTK1diFTfrjOZLlMAAIo8aNyp3_96uO9mrHTS_oyvTBMBg-C6H0_PmTrQd_yJBbQkSoGEuvo7Ml3XsnCb6yHuUBJSUGGXxwyFrAkH9uIbZCwKKvekfhfcLwjgFQgM6JeQs/s1600-h/DSC06335%5B4%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06335" border="0" height="377" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg43fQtD7SAxwkb2Rf2VQaO03pp599qV_roZhKQQiyIlSOiAgP6-6jQP4It4CRoS_eFy0J4-fEXXwGrj9Ni_7P_z4z9GVFOzj13nJNNpL4fw7710zmTf9erNDJVZTLw2PDd6XyoEkb4cXa5/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC06335" width="284" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p>I ran a few errands on my lunch and stopped home to let my pup out.
