Now that the weather is down in the 'teens (Celsius, my friends), it is acceptable to have soup for lunch. If I was in my good cooking and meal planning mode, I would be taking our new slow cooker out of the box and making delicious homemade soups. Since I am NOT meal planning, I brought a can of Heinz pumpkin minestrone soup.
I also lucked out by getting a free baguette with butter, lettuce and smoked salmon. My coworkers have been ordering platters of sandwiches all week for training, and there were so many leftovers today. Of course, I snagged one for myself. I fill up on just the soup alone, so I was violently full with the soup and sandwich. Oh well. The baguette tasted good, and that was the important part.
The pumpkin minestrone is fantastic, by the way. Cambell's makes a good one, as well. Last winter, I ate it very frequently.

Since I took my lunch hour today, I actually stayed until 5. I feel like I haven't done that in a long time. There are so many more cars on the road when I leave at the right time...
Dinner eventually came around, and I again caved into an easy and not-so-healthy meal. Al and I split McCain crunchy seasoned fries and fish from the freezer. These fries are hands down some of the best ones I've ever had in my life. The seasoning is so good! They also take less cooking time that other fries such as wedges, since they are thinner.

Wednesday night dinner! Do the fries count as a few servings of veggies?
It was mmm mmmm good.
Then, there was dessert.
Neopolitan ice cream in a mug with chocolate sauce and sprinkles.
At least I got ate some veggies for lunch....
Workout
For the second time this week, I just wasn't in the mood to go to the gym after work (I'm really starting to see the benefits of exercising in the morning). I still wanted to do something, so I loaded up toneitup.com. These girls are so entertaining (and sexxxxayyy). Plus, they give great workout advice.
I did a few of their short workouts with weights, and then I came across this one. It's three sets of three moves, and you will work your whole body. I was sweaty by the time I finished! For the best results, you'll need a stretchy band to tie around your legs for move #2. I have a long elastic Pilates band, so I used that. If you can do lunges and squats, give it a go! You'll work your body in under 20 minutes.

I also thought this video was entertaining on Tone It Up.
Also, have you noticed that my photos look a little bit better? Less blur and more clarity? That's because my mom bought me a camera when I was still in the US. I'm not sure why I haven't mentioned that before, but it's made such a difference in the quality of my photos. I can actually see details in my own pictures! It's a Canon PowerShot 100HS. It's not super-duper pricey, and it takes really good pictures. I'm so happy with it!
Catch ya later, folks!
