Trying To Lay Low

Hiya

Ok here's today's fun filled day... Woke up around 8:15 which is totally sleeping in for me! I was very very excited, I stayed in bed until about 8:30 and got up to make some coffee and watch the news.. the news is so depressing, so needless to say I didn't keep it on very long.. lol

Breakfast was 1/2 cup eggbeaters with a Laughing Cow Cheese wedge and half a piece of Wegman's Country Oat bread with cottage cheese.. mmm oh and tons of ketchup for the eggs ;)

We went to both of our parents houses to pick up a few things then went to the dollar store, I needed an aluminum pan to cook a cake that I wanted to try out and we got the Sunday paper for $1, its usually 2 bux!! haha we are so thrifty. :-P

Since it was so beautiful out I decided to skip the gym and go to http://www.allairevillage.org/index.html Its so pretty here to walk around, it totally made my day to be outside in warmth! (its gonna get cold again tomorrow.. ugh!) We got home around 1:30ish and I made up some Chobani vanilla with frozen strawberries and blueberries and put some granola and golden grahams on it.. SO SO GOOD!

I then got to baking up a Weight Watchers cake recipe I had seen that I thought would be worth a shot..

all it is :

1 box cake mix

1 egg white

1 can diet cola

mix and put in a 9x12 inch pan and bake for about 45 minutes or until toothpick is clean.

This was so easy to bake and let me tell you it tastes GREAT! I kept some for us and gave the rest to the parents ;) While baking I ate some batter and tons of grapes to try and avoid the batter.. hahah that didn't work too well :-P

I vegged around getting things done for work, reading the paper and cutting out coupons... For dinner I had one of my frozen chickpea cutlets from Vcon with homemade honey mustard to dip it in and some more sweet potato with salsa.. MMMM

I then had some of the cake with frosting ofcourse.. I had cut it for Adam but had to steal some bites.. so no pic.. oopps.. I'll get one tomorrow for ya ;)

I'm off to watch the travel channel with my honey and relax before another fun filled week of work..

Hope your weekend was great!

MMM Dinner At The Parents

Hey there chickies!

Today was a gorgeous day here at the good old Jersey Shore! It was over 60 degrees here and I enjoyed it as much as I could. I was up at ready to go and made a yummy bowl of oats and brought a mug of coffee with me on my walk to work. The morning flew by since we were outside playing for about 40 minutes. Before I knew it, it was lunch time and even though I wasn't too hungry I ate my yogurt/cereal mix and some pineapple while talking about our favorite bad for us fast foods :) I love working with all women sometimes, at least we all know what the other is going through when it comes to eating.. lol

I was out the door for my walk home at 3:30, I came home ate 2 handfuls of grapes and got ready for the gym. There I did 2 miles on the treadmill and lifted, and came home to get ready for dinner with my family.

We were celebrating Adam's birthday and my dad made veal bolognese with tortellini and I made my "famous" garlic bread.. hahah omg I ate so much!!!!! It was so freaking good! I miss living at home let me tell ya ;) I also had a few bites of Adam's cake (a few too many) lol

It was nice to sit and talk with my family for a while since dad is still not doing too well :( He is now retaining water and thinking it might be heart related.. since he hasn't been eating anything too salty and he is already on water pills.. UGH! can someone say stress?!?!??! at least the weekend is almost here! I've got a girls night out with one of my bridesmaids on Friday and I can't wait :-D Hope everyone had a great day.. See ya tomorrow!

Happy Birthday Adam!

Evening All

I woke up early again... darn water! lol I got up and started my day.. Checked my email, watched some of the news, and made some coffee and oats. I enjoyed the oats (same ones as always) while watching the news. I was then off to work for a nice somewhat easy day! The kids (all 12) of them were actually quite good for once.. WOOHOOO Before I knew it, it was 11:40 (most kids leave at 11:45) I was so happy :) I then cleaned up the room and went to lunch.

I wasn't very hungry but figured I might as well eat anyway. I had a stop & shop light coffee yogurt, it was pretty tasty. I put some granola that I made over the weekend on it and had some cut up pineapple too. At snack time I had a couple pretzel rods with the kids since they looked good. On the way to the gym I finished up my pineapple for a quick energy boost. Once I got there I did a quick 2.25 miles on the treadmill as I flipped channels on the tv.

I rushed home to get in the shower and start making Adam's birthday dinner. I made up chicken parm and some ww pasta. I also made some garlic bread on ww bread. I also had some random roasted red peppers on the side since I saw them in the fridge and they sounded good.. haha It was yummy and sweetie enjoyed it! I also had a small glass of pinot grigio with it since it was a special night :)

I mixed up a microwave cake since we are celebrating his birthday on Sunday with his fam and Monday with mine and I plan on making a regular cake for Monday night. I had a few bites of the cake and 2 mouthfuls of his Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Garcia. MMMM Perfect Ending to a very nice day :) AND TOMORROW IS FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you all have a great night, see ya tomorrow.
