Hard to believe that hours ago I was in New Jersey and yesterday was my first day on the job.

I was greeted in the reception area with a warm welcome sign and then the day sped by meeting people, acquainting myself with the office and reviewing the employee handbook.

This is the last time my work email will be empty – let the games begin…

I knew it was going to be a long day so I made a protein smoothie using a frozen banana this time, which made my breakfast drink nice and thick.

My coworker took me out to lunch and I had a delicious veggie egg white omelet, but I left the camera home for the day as I wanted to appear professional, at least for the time being. Don’t worry, my coworkers will know soon enough about this fabulous little hobby of mine 🙂

By the time I got home the elliptical I was dreaming about earlier in the day disappeared with stomach grumbles and I settled with dinner instead of a gym visit after my long day.

I whipped up a quick salad by cooking up one of these protein packed patties – Trader Joe’s to the quick dinner fix rescue!

Time for day two…
