Quick Tuesday!

Wow today totally flew by and I am not complaining at all!! I was dreading it since I got done with work at 3:30 but had a meeting at 4 :( Luckily it was quick and painless!!

Onto today's eats:

Breakfast was a bowl of oats (usual but with some Pure Protein in Chocolate) added in.. MMM chocolate in the morning!!! I also brought my mug of coffee on my walk with me. It was in the high 20's but I didn't know if I'd have the energy to head to the gym after my meeting so I figured any walking would be something. The morning flew by and before I knew it, it was lunch time! I walked home to pick up my car, get more coffee and snack on some grapes before I headed back and had some lunch. I had a yogurt with some of my granola and cantaloupe on the side. I also had a few bites of pizza since it was pizza day.. Oh how I love working with kids! hehe

After work I had a cookie and more cantaloupe on my way to the gym. I did a quick 2 miles while watching the end of Oprah and a bit of Tyra and came home to shower and inhale some din din :)

While getting my salad and sweet potato I had tons of grapes and some pretzels.. I had the same salad as a few night ago with a small piece of sweet potato and Newman's Own Salsa. MMM MM GOOD! For dessert I had a piece of chocolate (not pictured) and some apple with some PB2. I had mixed some of the pb up on Friday and tried it plain and wasn't thrilled.. I think my expectations were set a bit high from everyones blogs. I decided to try it again with an apple and really liked it this time!I think I'll be buying a 4 pack from their website. I just got off the phone with my cousin, we were talking about the wedding and about her baby shower! She is due in August. I'm off to watch some Real Housewives on NY and go to bed! Have a great night :-D

Stupid Car!

Ok so I was having such a good stretch with my car until this morning when it wouldn't start! I then tried to move Adam's car, which was stuck in our spot with an icy mess all around it :( Needless to say I called my aide who lives in the same complex, she saved me even though she was already at work! What a life saver because I didn't want to walk to work in the frigidness today! I woke up a minute before my alarm and started getting ready. I had a bowl of 1/2 Kashi Blueberry Oat Clusters and 1/2 Trader Joe's Raisin Bran with a banana and light vanilla soy milk. There was also a good handful or 2 of grapes eaten when trying to figure out breakfast this morning.. I WAS STARVING!!! MMM I also brought a big mug of coffee with me to school.

The morning totally dragged this morning and I was more than ready to tear into my lunch when it was finally time! I had a Dannon Light and Fit with an orange and some froot loops.. At snack I had a Kashi Pumpkin Pie bar to hold me over until I got home from the gym (hoping my car would work to get me there!) My mommy was nice enough to pick me up from work and drop me off.. I was finally able to tell the kids my mommy was getting me.. and they were all like HUH?!? My car did start and I made my way to the gym and did 2.5 miles on the treadmill and came home to shower and putz around a bit since Adam had another class tonight.

I then made the best dinner EVER! PB&J on a potato roll with the rest of my sweet potato fries. SO SO GOOD!!!! I have always loved potato rolls but don't eat them anymore since they are not whole grains.. But Adam wanted them for the sloppy joe, and I figured why not? I also had some yummy ice tea with it...It made my day much better.. hahah I'm such a dork! I did some ab work then made Adam a microwave cake for when he came home.. I had a bite (to make sure it was good ) and an apple with cinnamon for dessert. I'm now relaxing on the couch with my sweetie listening to American Idol (he's a big fan) lol Hope your day went better than mine! See ya tomorrow :-D

FINALLY TIME TO RELAX!

HIYA

Well last night ended up being a nice and relaxing one. The day started with a bowl of Kashi Blueberry Oats with banana, cinnamon and soymilk. I brought a nice big old mug of coffee with me :) The day was nice and easy, only 6 kiddies for me and we got outside for over 20 minutes! That totally made my day!!! At lunch I decided to walk home to get some cottage cheese and an apple for lunch since I wasn't hungry yet and it was nice out. Well the weather turned and it was cold and breezy and the sun was HIDING! WTF?! Once I got back I ate and relaxed durin nap time, and noticed it was flurrying out! UGH What is up with this nutty weather?! I 2 handfuls of goldfish for snack with the kids and around 3:40 (I got out early) I was off to the gym :) I did about 30 minutes on the treadmill and some weights and came home. I was pretty hungry so I had some Archer Farms Pumpkin Spice trail mix and showered. I was trying to figure out what to have for dinner since my stomach hasn't been the best.

One of my little girls had Ramen Noodle one day for lunch and I've been craving it. I have to no fat, reduced sodium one so I chose that and melted some ff cheese it in to make it creamy :) I know this is still not "healthy" but it reminds me of my high school/college days. I also had a couple spoonfuls of Adam's veggie chili we defrosted and boy was it SPICY!!!!! We went to Pathmark to pick up some things and I got tons of grapes since they are on sale :-D

We also went to Blockbuster since I had a giftcard from Christmas. We got Pineapple Express and it was pretty funny. While watching it I snacked on one of my yummy cookies I made Wednesday night with a choc covered peanut. MMM

I woke up uber early this morning and started thinking.. I hate that so much! I made a pot of coffee and waited for Adam to get up. He was up early too, before 8. So he got to making his breakfast and I waited for him to finish up his fried eggs and pork roll. I made 1 egg white and some egg beaters scrambled with Laughing Cow cheese melted in. I also had pineapple on the side. I also may have at my body weight in grapes while waiting for Adam to finish cooking ;)

I am going to hang out for a bit (hopefully the temp will get passed 20) and I'll be off to the gym and to the parents to do laundry. See ya later and I hope your having a great Weekend!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS ALL!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day! I have to say last night started out Christmas perfectly. We went to Adam's cousins for 7 fishes.. I ate way too many fishes and chocolates, I also had 2 beers and a shot of Chamboard, with my Senior English teacher from high school(he's Adam's cousins husband) hahah I was very sluggish this morning so I had a cup of coffee and half an apple and 2 handfuls of grapes and was off to church with my parents and brother. I went back to the parents house and had a Pepperidge Farms Cherry Pomegranate Bagel with some margarine and fried in a pan. So bad but it was something my mom used to make for me when I was little and I totally wanted one this morning. I also had a few Wavy Lays and a couple of pizza Goldfish jumped in there too ;) I went back for more Goldfish later, they hit the spot! Joe and I went driving around after eating since he has a police scanner (he's a firefighter) so tis the season for chaos. He wanted to see what was going on at one house.. so we did a drive by.. So bad I know lol. Adam is at his brother's house now (he doesn't do church) and then we will be going to his cousin's house later on. I came home and vacuumed a bit and now I'm blasting some christmas music and relaxing before I hop in the shower and beautify myself for the rest of the day. I will definately try to remember to take pics of my eats tonight at the parents. We are having prime rib and homemade caesar salad. I also bought a bottle of wine to have with it ;) I'm not a big prime rib fan but I love dad's salad!

I hope your all having a great day! See you tonight :-D

I'll leave you with some pictures from today: Me and my baby brother (he's going to be 18 in 5 days!!!) and our Charlie Brown Christmas tree!

Is It Friday Yet?

Hiya Everybody!

I woke up feeling extremely yucky this morning! I looked in the mirror and my whole face was all puffy! WTF? I made myself eat a bowl of cereal (Fiber One Honey Oat, Honey Nut Cheerios, banana, cinnamon, and Light vanilla 8th Continent) even though I wasn't hungry at all, but once I started eating I didn't want to stop! SO SO WEIRD! I also brought a mug of coffee with me on my way to work (I walked since it was so warm out!) The day was quite busy and I felt like I didn't stop. I walked home at lunch to pick up my car since one of the teachers were out and I might have had to stay late. I ended up getting out around the same time as usual though ;) Lunch was Dannon Light and Fit with 1/2 an apple and some pineapple. MMM I also had 2 big handfuls of froot loops, gosh I love these things! After work I went to the gym and did 2 miles on the treadmill and some weights. When I got home I got some things done around the apartment before Adam got home. While doing some stuff I had a handful of peanuts. Then all of a sudden our power went out! My brother called to check in with us (he's a jr firefighter) so he had his pager on and told us a transformer blew up a few towns a way. This caused complete chaos!!! Luckily our power was out for only a few minutes, once we got all the candles lit it came back on.. hahah but my parents and Adam's mom didn't have it for over an hour. Once it went back on we hurried to heat up some dinner just in case it went out again. I had Mac and Cheese with a half can of tuna in it. This totally hit the spot! Carby goodness :-D (I forgot a pic since we were rushing) We then went over to my parents and Adam's moms to check up on everyone. Once back I broke open a Sugar Free Double Chocolate Jello pudding and put some light whipped cream on top. It was one of those days where I just wanted junk! I feel lousy and carbs and chocolate make it all better ;) I'm now relaxing on the couch with Adam as he watches the news.. I hope everyone has a wonderful night! see you tomorrow :-D

Hiya

Well I had another busy one today! Those kids are amped up I think the Halloween candy is seeping into their veins even though they haven't gotten it yet!

For breakfast this morning it was the usual wegmans oats and honey with strawberries cereal, fiber one, banana, cinnamon and skim milk. I also brought m travel mug of coffee with me :)

Lunch was a HUGE apple with cottage cheese and 2 chocolate chip cookies. MMM!

I walked home after work and had some walnuts before the gym. I did about 2 miles on the treadmill and some weights and came home.

I had leftver salmon and veggies with a few fries for dinner (I ate some of the salmon before I took the picture.. I was hungry), I also had a few bites of some vcon baked beans that I made a LONG TIME AGO that we defrosted. They were still awesome! (Adam had them with his dinner) We then were off to Old Navy where I got a Halloween shirt and a new sweater :-D We then went to Barnes and Nobles for our "Date" night, I had a diet rootbeer and a few bites of Adam's Peanutbutter cup cookie. We read some magazines and ended up buying the new Weird New Jersey. I love these magazines, its so much fun since I know where alot of the places are in it. It was then off to Walmart to pick up a few things and now we are home relaxing and watching tv. I had some of my apple crumble because I needed something sweet. (ok I really just wanted it!!) I'm hoping it doesn't rain tomorrow because my brother has a football game at 2 and Adam and are planned to go for a nice walk in the am.. but we will see.. If not I'll be going to the gym and doing laundry, and maybe some cleaning around the apt.

I hope everyone had a great Friday! See you tomorrow morning :-D
I'm having trouble uploading the pictures.. so I'll just leave you with my ramblings :-P

Light and Easy Monday

Good Evening All :)

Last night I didn't sleep very well, but today was an easy day so I can't complain. For breakfast I had the usual of Kashi Go Lean Crunch, Fiber One, a banana, cinnamon, the last bit of my Almond Milk and some skim milk. I also brought my travel mug of coffee with me on my walk over to work. The morning flew by since I only had 5 kiddies today :)

Lunch was light since this past weekend I had way too much meat and my tummy did not appreciate it at all! I had an apple with cottage cheese and a handful of goldfish. It was one of the little boys birthdays today so I brought home a cupcake from him (I can't turn down homemade cupcakes from cute kids) I walked home after work had some walnuts and grapes and was off to the gym. I did 2 miles on the treadmill and some weights for my arms and back. I came home and checked out my new Self magazine and relaxed until Adam got home.

I had an almond butter and jelly sandwich with some leftover sweet potato fries. I also snacked on some more goldfish while waiting for Adam to come home. I also had diet lemonade iced tea snapple with dinner. I love these so much!! For dessert I inhaled the tasty cupcake which I forgot to take a picture of. After dinner we walked across the highway for a stroll to A&P for some things. I am baking an apple cake one day this week so I thought we'd pick up what I needed since we wanted to go for a walk.

Its now time to finish cutting out my bats for the kids to paint tomorrow and read some blogs.

I hope everyone had a great Monday, see you tomorrow :)

Here's to Another Long Day

Last night I was bad and took a Tylenol PM so I could sleep well, since I've had trouble sleeping lately. I woke up from my wonderful coma and was on my way this morning. I had a bowl of a few different cereals this morning I had some Honey Nut Cheerios, Special K Vanilla Almond, and some Fiber One. I also had a banana and cinnamon with Unsweetened Almond Breeze, this really hit the spot :) I also brought my travel mug of coffee with me to fuel me through the day. On my lunch break I walked home to get out in the beautiful weather, I did some dishes and walked back to work.

For lunch I had a huge apple with about 1/2 cup of whipped cottage cheese. Finally I got to have the lunch I wanted yesterday, I was so happy. After work I was off to the gym and had a handful of peanuts before I went in. I did 2 miles on the treadmill and some weights for my arms and back. I'm now home and showered and painted my toenails for tonight. Adam has to work late which stinks because he is working down near Atlantic City but has to drive all the way back to our house to shower and get ready to go back down for the concert. Hopefully he'll be home by 7, the concert starts at 8 and we definitely won't get there until 9. Hopefully The Black Crowes won't come on until well after 9!! Keep your fingers crossed! I'll be back before I leave to fill you in on dinner, I hope everyone is having a great Friday :)

Munchie Kinda Day!

Lets see I was woke up at 1:15 am by my neighbor upstairs yelling at his cat to go upstairs! UGH.. I felt like I barely slept after that, and woke up with HUGE PUFFY EYES! I made myself a bowl of cereal (kashi go lean crunch and total) with skim milk, cinnamon and banana. I of course had my coffee in the travel mug to bring to work. I walked again and I could tell my allergies are kicking my butt! I had a hard time breathing and it was down hill!!

The day went pretty smooth up to lunch, I had yogurt and an apple while I called a few places for our reception, we have 2 appointments on Sunday morning! I'm excited :-D I then had a handful of peanuts at 1:30ish. I was hungry all afternoon it was crazy! I inhaled my food in 2 minutes and an hour and a half later felt like I hadn't eaten at all. The afternoon didn't go as smooth as the morning since we combine 2 classes, I have the 2 and 3 years olds. I had a new boy bite one girl and 2 other boys fist fighting! AHHHH

After work I walked back home and got ready for the gym, I did 2 miles and lifted. I came home and showered and had an almond butter and jelly sandwich on German dark wheat bread. OMG how I have missed almond butter! It was the fresh ground kind from Whole Foods I was so happy! I also had some pickles (random I know) and pretzels on the side. We then ran out to Food town to pick up some salad (for tomorrow night) and other random things. We are now home and relaxing, well Adam is on wedding duty figuring out his side of the guest list. I'm eating a yummy dark chocolate sugar free pudding with some whipped cream on top! What a perfect way to end the day!

UGH TO TUESDAYS!!

First off I just want to thank the people who are saying that I "have a problem not eating enough calories" I don't eat much at work because I'm running around after 2 year olds... So if I eat too much with all the bending and stuff I do not feel so swift! I have tried eating more in one sitting and realized it just doesn't work for me! I always eat some more food at snacktime with the kids, it may not be much but it gets me through the day! Its not worth it in my eyes to end up feeling sick, so I just tend to graze alittle bit instead. But thank you for worrying! I'm doing ok I promise :-D

For breakfast this morning it was the usual cereal (kashi go lean crunch and total) with bananas, cinnamon and skim milk. I also filled up my travel mug with coffee, splenda and some ff hazelnut creamer. I NEEDED THE CAFFEINE TODAY! We had 14 1.5-2.5 year olds today so as you can imagine it was NUTS!!!

When lunch came I was starting to get alittle hungry, my body is finally getting used to eating earlier :)

I had Wegman's blended vanilla yogurt and a yummy apple! My first of the season, You will be seeing tons of apples soon. Adam and I will be apple picking in about 2 weeks and I will live on them. I can't wait! Snack time was a couple handfuls of goldfish and then it was outside to play with the kids. I walked to and from work today so that was about a half of a mile. I came home and got changed and had half of a Larabar the peanut butter one!! SO GOOD!!! I then went to the gym and did about 2 more miles while watching Reba. I came home and did some cleaning and cutting up those yummy brownies. I had to try one since I'm giving them away to the parents (didn't want anyone getting sick of course.. hahha).

I'm now reading some blogs and waiting to hop in the shower, I let Adam go in before me since he works outside all day :)

hope everyone had a nice Tuesday! See you for dinner!
