SO SO FULL!

Hi Bloggies :)

This morning was a slow start... I just could not get my arse in gear! I was stuffy and sleepy, darn allergies!! But that means spring is acoming!!! I had my usual bowl of oats this morning and brought a mug of hot chocolate on my walk with me this morning. The morning flew by even though the kids were WILD!!! I heard there is a full moon tomorrow.. this explains everything, if you work with children or even adults.. you know what I am talking about! lol

Lunch was a Dannon Light and Fit Mixed Berry with some of my granola and cantaloupe on the side. This totally hit the spot, except it made me cold for the rest of the afternoon and I could not warm up for the life of me. Snack time came and I had 2 chocolate chip cookies with the kiddies.. yum yum. I left on time today and walked home to get ready for the gym, I was hungry so I munched on some peanuts and grapes before venturing off. I did 2 miles on the treadmill and some weights. I came home and dragged Adam out to the library and to my parents to drop some stuff off to them. We came home and I showered and tried to figure out what to have for dinner. I ate some raisins and more grapes while I decided, it took me forever!!!

I settled on a Weight Watchers Chicken Santa Fe and a piece of bread with some butter on the side. This wasn't my favorite frozen dinner but it was chock full of veggies and really filled me up! Like crazy full!

After dinner I helped my sweetie out with his new cell phone then snacked on some more apples and pb2. I was still full from my veggieful dinner but NEEDED something sweet ;) I also had a piece of chocolate.. It was calling me.. hahahha

I'm off to relax with this full belly of mine.. any ideas out there to make the fullness go away? I already walked out to the dumpster to toss some garbage.. lol I hope you all have a great night! 2 more days until the weekend ;-D

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

Busy Weekend ;-D

Hey bloggies ;)

How's it going? Sorry I haven't been around It was a busy weekend and today I ran around in the morning and vegged out/baked this afternoon... Sometimes you just need to shut off the technology and enjoy quiet!

I start out with yesterday's eats..

After Friday night's fun of a jager shot before we left and 2.5 beers I was hurting a bit in the morning.. yes I am a LIGHTWEIGHT!!!!! hahah and a cheap date ;) Breakfast was Kashi Raisin Spice Heart to Heart oatmeal with a nice mug of coffee.. MMMI went to the gym to try and sweat out some of the beer and did a quick 2 miles (this was a tough 2 miles on 5 hours of sleep). I then went to my parents just to say hi and ended up baking up some brownies for them.. and eating lots of batter.. This can cure any hangover.. hahaha I came home showered and got ready for the fundraiser/chinese auction for Adam's cousins' cheering squad. Before leaving I had some lunch of Tuna with reduced fat mayo and red onion mixed in and half of a sweet potato with salsa... YUM YUM!!!

I had a diet coke once we got to the bar for the auction, since the thought of alcohol made me quesy.. We then decided to go out to dinner to the best pizza place at the Jersey Shore! http://www.peteandeldas.com/ We left around 5 to get there as soon as we could.. since the wait is usually INSANE! For the first time in a long time we only waited maybe 5 minutes and got a table!! We were very excited... Adam got a salad since he was hungry and I picked a bit on it until our delish pizza.. We got peppers/mushrooms on the whole pizza and Adam got sausage on his half too. I had 2 pieces and was SO FULL!! but oh man was it good and totally hit the spot :-D We then went and walked around Target and hit up Wegman's for some food for the week :) I came home and snacked on a brownie but forgot to take a picture... OOPPS haha

I'll be back in a bit with today's post!!!

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.

Another Day Over

Hi Everyone

Well we are one day closer to the weekend! Does anyone else find it bad that most people spend all week just waiting for the weekend? I really try not to, but I can't help it.. I've got to be more positive!

Onto this mornings eats! I woke up early since I've been drinking so much water lately :( potty was calling..ugh so I was up at 7 and read my email and made some breakfast. It was a bowl of oats (the normal ones) lol and brought a mug of coffee with me to energize! The morning flew by and before I knew it, it was lunch! I had cottage cheese with a pear and some pretzel rods.. I wanted something crunchy. I stomach is just not right still so I'm trying to eat light until it gets better. After work I went to the gym and did about 2 miles on the treadmill and some weights. I came home talked with Adam about our days and got in the shower.

Dinner for me was the other half of my sweet potato with Newman's Own Pineapple Salsa and a salad with onion, peppers, cucumbers, hummus and croutons with balsamic vinegar. I had to run out and pick up new books for the kids at the library and get some meds at the pharmacy. We came home and I had another brownie with frosting and some grapes.. lol not together!!! I'm off to watch the History Channel since they are talking about the Jersey Devil. Hope you all have a great night! See you tomorrow :-D

Is It a Full Moon???

Good Evening Chickies!

I woke up this morning not too hungry again since my belly is still messed up! I had some oats just to have something in me to take some cold meds for my head and because I knew it would be a busy morning at work. I walked there since it was somewhat warm and sunny, and brought a mug of coffee with me for some energy :) Well the kids were NUTS today.. I don't know what it was but I didn't like it at all. Lunch came finally and I was actually hungry for it, I had a Yoplait thick and creamy and a pear and grapes. This did the trick and made me happy, until snack time when I was putting out the cookies and caved.. ehheh

I walked home and got ready for the gym and snacked on a few peanuts and grapes before leaving. I did a little over 2 miles on the treadmill watching Oprah, Dr. Oz was on and it was pretty interesting! I wanted to watch more but my stomach was really hurting so I decided to leave before it got any worse.

I came home showered and set Adam up to finish the questionnaire for our wedding prep class. I settled on something light for dinner a half of sweet potato with some Newman's Own Salsa and a salad with hummus and some balsamic vinegar. This totally hit the spot! I also might have snacked on some leftover sweet potato fries that were in the fridge calling my name.. My friend called me after dinner to give me the run down for our Girl's Night Happy Hour on Friday night to see Daddypop at Bar A. I painted my toenails as I chatted then when I was done decided on a brownie with some frosting for dessert just because.. :-D Oh and this plate was for Adam and I.. I only had one brownie ;)

I'm off to veg and watch some tv with the sweetie! Hope you all had a wonderful day!!

See ya tomorrow

Ice Ice Baby!

OMG the roads were so bad this morning! Thank goodness for only having to go around the block! HAHA This morning I was up before the alarm as usual and started to get ready in hopes my car would start.. I made up a bowl of oats with an extremely ripe nanner... It was so creamy and tasty...mmmmm mmm good! I also brought a mug of coffee with me to warm me up since it was 11 degrees out.

There were only 6 kids in my class today which was extremely nice. Luckily the morning flew by and it was time for lunch and boy was I hungry, I had a Dannon Light and Fit with a pear and some froot loops.. so so good! It was one of the kids birthday so I also had a chocolate munchin for snack.. After work I went to the gym and did 2.25 miles on the treadmill while watching Oprah, and then did some weights.

I came home and did some things around here, and cut up some veggies for my salad.. talked on the phone with my friend Kelli, showered then ate. I had a salad with lots of veggies, hummus, croutons and the last of my Newman's Asian dressing. I also had some leftover sweet tater fries that I burnt in my toaster! UGH! It totally smelled like smoke, so I opened up the windows even though its freezing and lit some candles.. now it smells delish :-D

I was in the candy mood so I had some chocolate covered peanuts (pic x2) lol. Well I hope everyone had a great Tuesday.

Do you have anything exciting going on this week?

I have a work meeting tomorrow and then my brother's fashion show for the Academy of Finance that he is in.. It should be fun!

See ya'll tomorrow!

SNOW DAY!!!!!!!!

I originally took today off from work but ended up having a snow day anyway! We found out last night around 9ish.. I can't believe we got a foot of snow at the Jersey Shore!!! Its exciting but a pain all at the same time. I got up around 8:15 and was so happy to have slept the whole night :)

I made some coffee and a nice bowl of oats. Then I got to making that yummy Irish Soda bread, I kept some for us and gave one to my parents and one to Adam's mom. We then went out and cleaned off the 3 cars which took almost an hour to do! YUCK! Thank goodness the wind wasn't too bad at that moment.. Around 1 I started to get hungry so I had a Yoplait Cinnamon Roll yogurt (not my favorite too sweet!!) and a pear. I also tried a piece of the bread to make sure no one gets sick :-P I cleaned a bit then we took Adam's work truck out to the store from some eggs and bread, and stopped by my parents to drop off the soda bread. I got some stuff done for work then showered and got dinner together. We had some leftover sloppy joes with sweet and regular fries that we made.. MMMM so good! I also had a pickle on the side. Dessert was a chocolate covered peanut and an almond Hershey's kiss... YUM YUM! I am off to relax and watch tv with Adam.. Have a great night guys :-D

ITS ALMOST FRIDAY!!!!!

HIYA!

I barely slept last night, but surprisingly I'm still kicking and its after 8! I woke up at 6 after finally falling asleep around 1:30ish. I got out of bed at 7 and checked my email and talked to my mom. I then made up a bowl of oats and some coffee for breakfast. I walked to work today since it was supposed to be toasty=50! It was a nice easy day in kiddies land at the morning flew by since we were outside for over a half hour. By lunch I wasn't very hungry but figured I might as well eat. I totally putzed out this morning (since I was on barely any sleep) and brought 1/2 a sweet potato instead of my cut up pear :( So lunch was the sweet potato and cottage cheese.. It tasted good but just wasn't what I wanted. At snacktime I had 3 handfuls of froot loops since I wasn't feeling too satified from lunch. I walked home after work to get ready for the gym and had about a cup of grapes since I was getting hungry!

I went to the gym and did 2 miles on the treadmill while reading a trashy mag and did some weights since my wrist is feeling a bit better :) I stopped off at the parents house quickly to pick up a few things and say hi. I came home showered and made up some din din. I didn't know what I was in the mood for, so after having 2 big forkfuls of cold baked ziti I decided on an Amy's burger with Laughing Cow Cheese, homemade ketchup which was very thick, some pickles and a few pita chips. Desert was a bowl of Cherry Jello and Cool Whip, I also may have had a chocolate chip cookie from mommy.. hehe I'm now sitting with Adam (he's doing good after his surgery! :-D) watching Survivor. I decided on going to Atlantic City with the girls this weekend so its should be a fun time! I plan on resting up good tomorrow for a LOOONG night Saturday ;)

Hope your Thursday flew by like mine did!!! See ya tomorrow.

Question:

Do you have any fun plans for the weekend?

Another Busy One

Well today is another go go go kinda day so here is my quick recap.. Lots of pictures missing since I was rushing and just wanted food in my belly!!! lol

Breakfast was a bowl of oats, eaten with Adam this morning since he had his gum surgery. Poor guy couldn't even sleep in :( I also brought a mug of coffee with me for a caffeine boost. I walked to work today and came home at lunch to pick up the car since I knew this afternoon would be busy. Lunch was a Dannon Light and Fit and a Pear. I also mixed in some cheerios into my cereal for CRUNCH! At snack time I may have had a handful or 2 of froot loops ;)

I went to the gym and did a quick 2 miles and came home to my baby laying on the couch.. He's doing ok, just uncomfortable. They ended up putting in some bone growing stuff b/c his bone in between 2 of his molars is disappearing! NOT GOOD! lets hope this helps! I showered and ate the other half of my veggie delight from last night with some pita chips and 2 handfuls of grapes afterward.

I went to my class on inclusion and got a decaf hazelnut coffee from Dunkin Donuts with skim milk and splenda. When I finally got home tonight around 8:45 I had an orange and a few (maybe more) jelly beans! My tummy was growling during the class.. haha Probably out of boredom.. I talked to my friend tonight and we might be going to AC for Saturday night I"ll see if I can handle it money wise... We will see.. ;) Oh and I almost forgot! I came home to a package from Gnufoods.com Thanks so much to Robyn for sending me a bunch of fun samples to try! I can't wait! I tried the Chocolate Brownie last week and loved it.. When I try them I will definitely let you all know how they are :)

Hope you had a great humpday! 2 more days to go!!!!!!!!!!
