HAPPY HUMPDAY!

WOW This week is flying by!! I can't believe there are only 2 days until the weekend and 23 days left until Christmas! I need to get my butt in gear and start shopping. I woke up this morning not very hungry but made myself eat since I knew we had a few people out at work today and wasn't sure if I'd get my lunch break. I had a bowl of Fiber One Oats and Honey with some Honey Nut Cheerios with a banana, cinnamon and light vanilla 8th Continent. I also brought a mug of coffee with me to work to keep me going ;)

I walked home at lunch to get out and get some fresh air since it was warmish out. I came back and had a black cherry Axelrod yogurt with a red pear. I love red pears it was so juicy and tasty! At snack time I had about a cup of Froot Loops, I can't wait for these to be out of the darn school!!!!! :-p

I went to the gym after work and did some weights and alittle over 2 miles on the treadmill since I was watching some show on VH1 and didn't want to miss it.. (gotta love tv pushing me to work out more!!! I came home and my stomach was killing me, I ate some of an apple (this probably wasn't a good idea) then sat and thought about dinner.

I had a bowl of Pacific Foods Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup. This is my favorite soup EVER!! I had it with Honey Wheatables on the side (I went back for more crackers when I was done with the pictures ones). I also had 2 slices of turkey for some protein while deciding on dinner.

After dinner we ran out to pick up milk and bread then stopped at my moms to drop off some laundry and pick up some food dad made for us, he made pork chops and this noodle dish with dried apricots, raisins and cheese. We will be having that one night soon for dinner Thanks Dad :-D Once home I had a super charge me cookie, then another. Oh how I love feeling yucky but eating anyway, which just makes it worse.. One day I'll learn :-P

I hope you all had a great day. See you tomorrow.

24 Days and Counting!!!

Good Evening All!

Today flew by, and believe me I'm not complaining at all! I didn't sleep very well last night so that made for a sluggish start to the day. For breakfast I had oats, banana, light vanilla soy milk and handful of raisins on the side ;) I also brought a mug of coffee with me on my walk to work, I needed it today!

Lunch was an apple and cottage cheese and 2 handfuls of tasty but not so healthy froot loops! Oh how I love working in a preschool :-P

I walked home and ate a Huge handful of peanuts and was off to the gym. I did 2 miles on the treadmill and some weights. I came home starving but sat and relaxed for a bit before I showered. Dinner was Almond butter and low sugar jelly on Arnold's Double Fiber bread. I also had a bag of Brother's All Natural Chips. While deciding on dinner I also had some grapes and a few pickles. I just didn't know what I wanted to eat, so snacking worked while I thought :-D After dinner we went to the library to get some books for the kiddies and picked up some rolls, soy milk and some Chobani since Foodtown had them on sale :-D I came back cleaned up and had a couple super charge me cookies for dessert and now I'm relaxing and reading some blogs. I hope everyone had a great Monday, See you tomorrow.

Can't We have 4 More Days Off?!?!

HIYA!

Well today was quite the lazy day after we got home, I felt like such a bum but I have to admit it was nice. I know with the holidays on their way the next 4 weeks will fly by extremely quick!

Around 6ish I decided on having some leftovers from daddy, it was chicken Marsala with some egg noodles and a salad on the side (took the pic after I started eating). I wasn't very hungry at all and kinda just felt blah, I'm thinking since I didn't exercise today and the rainy weather just didn't help! Dinner really hit the spot though and I had seconds and thirds on the noodles. HAHAH... Dessert were 2 super charge me cookies, I completely forgot to take a picture! I really need to get my hiney in gear :-P

Well I'm off to look at some craft books for ideas for the kiddies for Christmas, see you all tomorrow. HAVE A GREAT NIGHT!

Slacking Once Again!

Hey Guys!

Sorry I've been slacking lately, but with work and the holiday coming up things have been a tad crazy. When I finally get home I just want to be lazy and relax, last night actually my brother came over and hung out for a few hours. I had to kick him out since it was 9:30 and I knew he had tons of homework to do! He was so excited because he got a letter from Caldwell College (where I went and where he applied) that he got over 11,000 bux in scholarships! That definately helps alot ;) Ok enough rambling here's a recap of yesterday and today's foods.

Yesterday was a bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds, some Kashi Go Lean Crunch, banana, cinnamon and light vanilla soymilk. I also brought a mug of coffee with me as usual.

I walked home at lunch since I drove to work because I had tons of stuff to bring in to school. Lunch was an apple with cottage cheese and a serving of pretzel goldfish. On the way to the gym I had a handful of peanuts before I got in there. I did 2 miles on the treadmill and weights, I came home and relaxed for a bit. Dinner was the last of my Snobby Joe's (forgot to take pic until I was already done!) and a salad. This really hit the spot!!! Later on for a snack I had a vcon super charge me cookie and some pineapple :-D

Today was a yucky day in general, lots of kiddies and lots of rain=no outside and crazy kids and teachers!! AHHHHHHHHH. I wasn't hungry when I got up and really didn't want to eat but knew I had a tough day ahead of me. I made up a bowl of honey nut cheerios and honey bunches of oats with almonds, banana, cinnamon and light vanilla soymilk. I also brought the mug O' coffee since I knew I was gonna need it! Lunch was inhaled in less than 10 minutes and included an apple (almost done with them from apple picking!) and cottage cheese. I also had a cupcake since 2 of my kiddies were celebrating their birthdays today. The big "3".. hehe The cupcake was sooo good! I got out of work at 4 and was off to the gym, I did alittle over 2 miles and came home. I talked on the phone with my cousin and got dinner ready for Adam and I, We had a nice unhealthy dinner. He has never had fried bologna, and since he loves hotdogs and this tastes just like it! This was a favorite of mine when I was little.. hahah We got the light Oscar Mayer kind to make me feel alittle better about eating it.. I also bad butternut squash "fries" to go with it. I had my one slice of bologna with cheese on a whole wheat english muffin with lots of fries, I ate way more than in the picture, I was full but just kept on going back for more! I was so happy Adam liked the dinner, I'm obviously not much of a chef so even if it is something totally basic and easy I still worry that he won't like it. haha.I also baked up some Jiffy Corn bread for teh kids at school for out Thanksgiving "Feast". Snack was a super charge me cookie and some pineapple. I am finally relaxing watching the Food Network! Have a great night! See you tomorrow ;-D

THANK GOODNESS FOR FRIDAYS

Hi there!

I have to say today was an easy day, there were only 7 kiddies in my class and the morning flew by! I guess I should start with the beginning of my day, where I got my jump start ;) I had a bowl of oats with dried apricots, raisins, a banana, cinnamon and a touch of light vanilla soy milk. I also brought a mug of coffee with me on my very cold walk to work. The oats could've kept me going way past my lunch time at 12, but that's my free time when the kids are eating so I had to bust open the yogurt and apple. I also had some pretzels for some salty goodness. I walked home as fast as I could since it was FRRREEZING! I was starving for some reason when I got home so I ate some peanuts and grapes. That worked to get my through my 2 miles on the treadmill while I watched Oprah. I came home and showered and thought about dinner. My stomach has been funny so I settled on a bowl of the low fat/sodium Ramen Noodles I know this is definitely not the healthiest thing at all but its what I was in the mood for :) I also added a slice of cheese to make it creamy. Just like I did it back in elementary school.. hahah

Adam and I then were off to Barnes and Nobles to look at books and get some coffee. I got a tall skim cappuccino but realized half way through it I didn't get decaf! Their coffee is a tad too strong for me to be drinking a whole cup of it at 7 at night! So I stopped there at a half cup, When we came home I wanted some sweets so I had one of my super charge me cookies. That did the trick :) I'm now drinking tons of water because even though the soup was low in sodium I think it was still too salty for me since I'm not a big salt person.

I'm off to check out the weather tomorrow because my brother has another football game. I heard the windchill might be 19 degrees, I think he'll understand if I stay comfy in my house and clean instead ;) Maybe I'll bake him something for all his hard work!! I've also got to babysit tomorrow night so it might be a good thing to get all my cleaning and stuff out of the way early.

hope you all have a great night :-D

Tueday's Gone With The Wind

Hi everybody!

I'm finally relaxing watching some Good Eats on Food Network :-D

Here's a recap of my good eats.

This morning was a bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds, Kashi Go Lean Crunch, cinnamon, banana and Light Vanilla 8th Continent Soy milk. I brought a big old mug of coffee with me to work today, I drove because it was just too cold for me to walk that whole 1/4 mile :-p

Today was Pizza Day at school so the kiddies had pizza and the teachers got an antipasto. I had mostly lettuce, roasted red peppers, olives, and green peppers. I also threw in a couple pieces of cheese and meat (needed some protein)I also had an apple with my salad. I also had 2 cookies for snack time.. They were calling my name :-D After work I was off to the gym, I did about 2 miles on the treadmill and some weights. I came home and cut up a tasty pineapple that we picked up at BJ's on Saturday. I had to try a few pieces of it to make sure it was sweet of course.

Dinner was Snobby Joe's from Vcon and a salad. I had some croutons on the salad with some Newman's Own Honey Mustard Dressing. After inhaling the Snobby Joe's my mouth was on fire! I put a tad too much chili in it ;) so I had some leftover cold french fries from Adam's dinner last night!

After dinner we went to the library and out to the supermarket to pick up lunched for Adam since he was running low.. I got a sweet potato and a Chobani yogurt for one day ;) When we got home I was CRAVING something sweet to I had 2 (only took pic of one) of my super charge me cookies. MMM now I'm off to do some crunches and watch some tv. Have a great night :-D

Holy Wind Batman!!

The wind kept me up all night last night :( I was so tired and went to bed early, but the wind was so strong it woke me up a million times. I finally got up around 8:30 and made some pumpkin spice coffee and waited for Adam to get up. I had a Pepperidge Farm Fruit and Grain bagel with Friendship Whipped Cottage cheese on it. I also ate a half of a banana while it was toasting (no pic). Around 10:30 I decided on going to the gym and did about 2 miles on about a 12% incline while reading the new People Magazine. I also did some weights for my arms and back while there. I came home and got ready to go to the new Outlets that opened near our house. Before we left I had a handful of peanuts since I have been starving for some reason (I'm thinking hormone related!!) Once we got close though the traffic started to back up. Adam thought maybe the traffic lights were out but I knew its because of the outlets and I was right!!! IT WAS CRAZY!!! We sat in traffic for 10 minutes and drove right by and went to Walmart instead. I was disappointed but oh well, we definitely spent less money at Walmart than we would have at the outlets ;)

We stopped at A&P for Adam to pick up some fried chicken that he wanted for lunch and came home. He got some tasty but evil fries too so of course I ate one too many of those along with a big bowl of Oikos vanilla Greek yogurt with the end of my can of pumpkin, tons of frozen berries, and honey nut cheerios. YUM YUM!

We pretty much sat around all day and I made some Vcon's Snobby Joe's to have for dinner on Tuesday night, since we are taking the parents out to dinner tomorrow night for a football fundraiser for my brother's high school.

Dinner was my leftover pizza from a few nights ago and the rest of my salad from Friday, with some ff ranch dressing. This dinner was great and hit the spot! Of course dessert was a Super Charge Me Cookie with a glass of 8th Continent Vanilla Light Soy milk. We are now watching Bridezillas and I'm looking up some ideas for some more turkey day projects for my kiddies to do!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! See everyone tomorrow night :-D
