I will completely admit to getting off track the last few weeks. But, I’m refocused and ready to work. I went back to using the desk peddler to get my muscles working again
I’m still working on making breakfast a proper habit but one of my friends at work gave me a protein bar from Trader Joe’s that was really good! I may have to get a couple boxes and keep them in my desk. For lunch, I tried out my Yule gift to myself, the Itaki Smart Pro (not sponsored). I’d made lemon chicken, rice, and broccoli on Sunday so, I packed some of the leftovers in the containers and set the Itaki to reheat. 20 minutes later, I had a hot lunch. This works out better than the microwave since it didn’t dry out the chicken when I heated it all up. Yes, it does take longer than 2 minutes in the microwave, so if your break is 30 minutes, it’ll be a rush to snarf it down and pack everything back up to go back to work. The cord is also ABSURDLY short. I already have an extension chord from the other Itaki so it was fine but yikes. I get that they’re expecting you to do this at your desk and have an outlet close by but even so, there’s no way it would reach directly from the top of my desk to an outlet near the floor. And yes, it still uses steam and you have to put some water in the bottom.
Not that I intended this to be a review of the device but anyways, I got a deal on some avocados and made a salad with one for dinner. I can feel my muscles waking up and I hope to get back to running soon!
