Saturday Recap/Sunday Breakfast :-D

Good Morning Everyone! Yesterday I was up around 8 and relaxed for a bit before deciding on Fiber One Oat Clusters, banana, cinnamon and unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze, with a mug of coffee on the side! I then went to the gym and did 2 miles on the treadmill and some weights. I went to the parent's house to show mom how to upload pics to the computer again from her camera. One day she'll get it :-D Unfortunately though Dad's candy was everywhere and I may have ate 3 pieces of his truffles and 2 huge handfuls of grapes. I was not hungry at all but it was there, oh well. I came home showered and got ready to go spend a gift card at Victoria's Secret! I got 5 new pairs of undies and bought some travel size bottles of lotions at Bath and Body Works. We came home and watched tv and relaxed for the rest of the day. I snacked on an apple and cottage cheese and also had 2 bites of Adam's turkey sub for a late snack.

By 5:30 I was STARVING and had my leftovers from NYC. I had the wrap but instead of fries had a sweet potato in the microwave with salsa on top. YUM! I can't figure out why the heck this is sideways!!! UGHWe then rented Tropic Thunder off of IO and settled in to watch that. I made a mint mocha freeze from hungry girl for my snack, it was delish! I also had a few chocolate covered honey roasted peanuts from Harry and David's. I can't wait to get rid of this candy!!

The movie was hysterical if you haven't seen it, Tom Cruise cracked me up :-D

Onto this mornings eats: I had a big ol bowl of oats with a banana, cinnamon, water, some granola (Back to Nature Blueberry Apple) and some soynog. I also had my mug of coffee and 2 bites of Adam's tasty pork roll egg and cheese sandwich. I'm now psyching myself up for the gym, I know it'll be packed if I go too early so I'm trying to hold out a bit longer. See ya later! Hope you have a great Sunday!

Question: What are your New Years Eve plans? Do you have a resolution?

NYC For The Day!

So we were up and out by 8:10 this morning to grab some breakfast and hit the road/train for NYC. We brought my brother there for his 18th bday present, we've been bringing him for the past 5 years and it was a big hit this year!

Here's the recap: breakfast was a fruit and yogurt parfait that I got from Einstein Brother's Bagels by our house. The boys got bagels from Dunkin Donuts and I got a coffee with skim milk. We ate on the train and were in NYC by alittle before 11. We went and saw the tree and walked all over the place!! We found this great pub called http://www.connollyspubandrestaurant.com/ I got a Blue Moon with an orange to drink, we then split the shrimp cocktail. The cocktail sauce was great! For lunch I got the MEDITERRANEAN GRILLED VEGETABLE accented with balsamic glaze, goat cheese, beefsteak tomatoes, greens, honey wheat wrap. It was so good, I dove right in and realized to take a picture after I ate half of it.. OOPPS! I also tried Adam's fish and chips and they were tasty too! Then to celebrate Joe's Birthday we had a shot of Jamison Irish Whiskey since we were at an Irish Pub and Joe was excited to get served..HAHAH We ended up walking to the Whole Foods in Union Square after lunch I got a huge fruit platter which we lugged home and some PB Puffins... YUM! I have to say I was not as impressed by this Whole Foods as I thought I would be :( I'll stick with the one close to home.. We walked back to Penn Station but first stopped at a shop to buy some cheesy souvenirs. Adam got a Cigarette Holder with a picture of NYC on it, Joe got an I love NYC flask and I got I love NYC sleep shorts with Taxi's on them and a I love NYC tshirt. We stopped to get Adam some food for dinner on the way to the train, I got a Sprite Zero and we finally got home by 8. I'm so glad to be home and relaxing, I made up a bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats with skim milk, a banana and tons of cinnamon (forgot to take picture since I was uploading the ones from today). I then needed something sweet so I had 2 bites of a HUGE caramel covered pretzel with mini m&ms on it. So good but I'm so full, it was a great day! I'm now ready for bed and a long day at the gym, even though we walked well over 6 miles around the city today ;) Have a great night and see you tomorrow.

I'll leave you with some fun pictures from our day :-D

Busy Busy!

Hiya!

Finally home and relaxing after 2 busy days! I feel like I haven't stopped. Today for breakfast I had oatmeal with half a banana and raisins. I also brought a big old mug of coffee with me on my walk to work. We have had a few teachers out this week so its been quite crazy and the elementary schools are having teacher's conferences so I've had those kids coming in super early at 1. Its been tough to keep all those age groups occupied for that long!

For lunch I had a Dannon Light and Fit with an apple and a handful of wheat thins. I walked home after work and had some peanuts after I got ready for the gym and was off. I did 2 miles on the treadmill and some weights and came home to bake Adam some pumpkin bread.

Dinner was my leftover wrap from last night and some sweet potato fries, and a small piece of some chicken francais that my dad gave us that Adam was eating.. YUM YUM! My tummy isn't too happy though because the wrap was lots and lots of veggies (maybe too much fiber?) We ran across the street to A & P to pick up a few things and now I'm cutting out turkeys for the kiddies tomorrow.. FUN TIMES!! let me tell ya ;) well I'm off to cut and sip a cup of french vanilla coffee.. Have a great night! See everyone tomorrow :-D

P.S. I cut up the pumpkin bread just now and tried a piece and boy is it tasty!! :-D
