It’s back to work and I am lucky to be able to work from home today! With no long commute taking up my morning, I was able to go for a nice walk and do some strength exercises before getting down to business.
My cereal looked fall like and festive today.
I’ve started adding some veggies back in to my diet so the frst thing I wanted for lunch was a hummus and veggie sandwich. I haven’t had one of these in a while!
I also had a bowl of red grapes.
What is your favorite sandwich to eat for lunch?

Labor Day weekend was fun and busy, but I am sad to see summer leave! We had some sun and some chilly weather this weekend and fall is def in the air.
I had a BBQ with my family Saturday night. There was grilled chicken, ribs, broccoli, eggplant, potatoes and tomato salad. There was so much food and I was stuffed after dinner 
BBQ’s can be healthy if you choose carefully. Grilled potatoes are real TASTY and are a good alternative to potato salad that’s usually made with tons of mayo. I especially like them because I can’t eat mayo (allergy!). And, you really can’t beat grilled veggies! I’ll miss them come winter 
Sunday afternoon John and I decided to walk the Freedom Trail in Boston. We walked from one historic site to the next including…
The State House
and Paul Revere’s grave stone.
This was our tour guide who had lots of stories to tell!
John and I saw the movie Extract Saturday night. It was funny and entertaining, but the story line was a little out of the ordinary. Have you seen this movie? What did you think of it?
It was really nice to have Monday off! I spent most of Monday relaxing then I was off to Mohegan Sun to see Journey in concert. They were fantastic! I think my friend and I were some of the youngest people there, but it was fun! There were a lot of food choices at Mohegan Sun. We choose to eat at Bobby Flay’s Bobby’s Burger Palace. It was the best burger I had in a while. It was the perfect portion (I was full, but not stuffed afterwards) and I did not feel like I was eating a fast food burger at all. The restaruant did not serve any seafood so I got my french fry fix! The fries were crispy, just how I like them
Here are the rest of the weekend’s EATS:
Saturday and Sunday’s bowl of cereal were identical so I didn’t snap a photo of Sunday’s Rice Chex with rice milk.
I also had some chips that are not pictured with the hot dog.

I took a quicker than usual lunch break earlier today so I was able to sneak outside for 10 minutes this afternoon to take a short walk with a co-worker. No rain and 85 degrees today:) I think summer may finally be here to stay!!
Before heading outside I snacked on a nectarine and 2 oatmeal cookies at my desk. (This is the last of the oatmeal cookies )
After work I went to the gym for a quick but sweaty WORKOUT!
Eliptical- 15 minutes
Bike- 15 minutes
Bicep curls- 2 sets of 15
Side bends- 15 reps each side with weieghts
Reverse crunches- 2 sets of 20
I ate some grapes on my way to the gym to carry me over until dinner. I hate working out when I feel hungry- I would have just wanted to leave the gym and go home to EAT!
After the gym I headed to John’s. I wasn’t very hungry and neither was he. We just grilled some veggies- zucchini, asparagus and tomato- and ate them with hummus and pita chips.
BEFORE (The veggies were marinated in olive oil, garlic salt and pepper.)

AFTER
My first plate
I kept picking and had more of everything! It was the perfect summer dinner
What are your favorite veggies to grill? What do you season them with?

Hello! I'm 31-years-old and living outside of Boston. I try to do something healthy each day, like take a walk or eat a big salad. Sounds easy, right? It can be. But with working a full-time job, spending time with friends and family and all those not so fun tasks you need to do like laundry, taking proper care of yourself both physically and mentally often gets pushed to the bottom of the To-Do list. Hopefully you will find some ideas through Anna's Eats to incorporate into your routine and share your ideas as well no matter what your specific needs are!!
