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!!!

BACK!

Hi Guys! I'm back :-D

Things have just been a bit nutty here... but oh well.. that's life right? I'll start off with last night since we celebrated Adam's Birthday with his family. We went to the http://www.thehickoryhog.com/Home.htm in Point Pleasant NJ. We have been there once before and the food is great! They give HUGE portions.. I wish I would have taken pictures, but my mind was on other things.. and trying to happy.. For our apps we got the onion loaf which is onions rings but in the shape of a loaf! I had one little onion ring since I really try to not each too many fried things.. I also tried a bit of a spicy pub pickle which is a fried pickle, this was actually pretty good.. and then we got some bbq nachos, they were great! I had a few chips and it came with pulled bbq pork on them and cheese and hot peppers.. MMM I was full just after snacking on those!! hahah I got the Mango BBQ Pork it comes with cornbread and 2 sides I got tator tots and hot cinnamon apples. This was AMAZING! but way too much food for a unhappy/stressed belly. I brought TONS of leftovers home so we will be eating these again, and I'll have some pictures for ya ;)

Onto today, I had a bowl of Kashi Blueberry Oat Clusters, Trader Joe's Raisin Bran and a banana with cinnamon and skim milk. I also brought my coffee with me on my walk to work today. The morning flew by and was great! The kids were so cute and good today.. (KNOCK ON WOOD!) Lunch came and I was starting to get hungry, so I had a light Wegman's blueberry yogurt with some of my homemade granola and pineapple on the side. One of my coworkers made a pistachio cake so I tried a couple bites of it.. it was really good so I took the recipe (Adam loves pistachios). I walked home and snacked on a 2 handfuls of grapes and was off to the gym. I did 2 miles on the treadmill and weights and came home. Adam and I then ran to see daddy and say hi! I just had to give him a big ol' hug.. We then went to Dunkin Donuts so I could get the kiddies munchins for St. Patrick's day :)

We came home, I showered and made up a salad with romaine, cucs, green peppers, red onions, roasted red peppers, croutons, and tuna. I put some Catalina dressing on it (this was my favorite dressing growing up!) I got some things done around the apartment and sat down with a brownie and frosting. JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED! I am now off to digest and catch up on blog reading.. Hope you all had a great day! See you 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

BOO To Work Meetings!

HIYA!

Well today was an easy day, so I can't complain. But it was long for me :(

Breakfast was a bowl of oats with water, light vanilla soy milk, raisins, banana and some agave nectar for some sweetness ;) I also brought a mug of coffee with me to work as usual. The morning pretty much flew by, even the half hour of being outside in the coldness with the kiddies!

Lunch was cottage cheese and a giant apple (still the ones from apple picking!) and a brownie that one of my mom's made for us teachers :)

We had a work meeting that lasted until after 5 so I was a total slacker and just looped around the block and came home. It was just a long day and I've been so good with the gym lately that I decided to take a day off. I FEEL LIKE A SLACKER! But I know I deserve it every now and then.

I came home dumped all my stuff on the floor and complained to Adam, of course he listen like a good fiance and didn't even turn on the TV! He even made a martini for himself and let me have a few sips and 2 olives from it ;) He totally knows what cheers me up :-p

I decided to make a PB&J on Arnold's Double Fiber bread and had a bag of Brother's All Natural potato "chips" mmm so good! I talked on the phone and did some work stuff. Adam and I then got to the invitations, since we had to choose them so we could get the book back to his mom ASAP. THANK GOODNESS IT IS DONE :) For dessert I had a Jello sugar free chocolate pudding cup with some light whipped cream. I'm off to relax and watch some Food Network. I hope everyone had a wonderful night! 2 more days to go until the weekend :-D

2 More Days To Go!!

Hiya!

I finally had a good night sleep last night :-D I woke up and got ready and had the usual breakfast of Kashi Go Lean Crunch, Wegman's Oats and Honey with strawberries, bananas, cinnamon and skim milk. I also bought a big old travel mug of peppermint hot chocolate which totally hit the spot on another cold and windy day.

At work today one of the little girls mom had a baby so she brought in chocolate covered pretzels which I of course had to have one of!!

Lunch was a GIGANTIC apple with cottage cheese, silly me took a pic of the apple but forgot one of the cottage cheese. I also had a few cheese its since that is what snack was in the afternoon ;)

I then went to the gym and did 2 miles on the treadmill and some weights. I then came home and made Adam and I dinner!!! I made chicken in foil with some salsa in the oven. I also had a salad with roasted red peppers, romaine, onions, zucchini and croutons with Newman's Own honey mustard dressing. YUM!

After dinner I had a brownie that was quite tasty!! I was extremely full but it was calling my name as usual. My brother just stopped by so we are bonding and just blabbing.

I hope everyone has a great night :-D See you tomorrow.

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!

Monday Monday....

Lets recap my day...

Breakfast was the usual cereal (total and kashi go lean crunch) with banana and skim milk. I was then off to work for a nice light day, we only had 7 kids! It was great and flew by.

Lunch was Dannon Light and Fit with cantaloupe and some pineapple. I took the picture after I had already starting eating it OOPPS!!! While the kiddies were having snack I also had some of it, just some cheddar cheese Goldfish.

I was then off to the gym and did around 2 miles on the treadmill and some upper body lifting. It was then home and doing some cleaning up in the kitchen. I finally sat down and Adam came home.. I was telling him how we got some more post cards in the mail from a photographer, he jumped in the shower and then I took a double take at the postcard. The picture of the front looked very familiar... Why.....It is one of my good friends from high school who lives in the same complex and me and her hubby!! I imed her right away telling her she was famous! I was very excited! haha

Dinner was then a salad with bbq tofu from Whole Foods, romaine, carrots, peppers, red onion, and some chicken. I put some Newman's Own honey mustard dressing YUM!! I also had some of dad's green beans baked with mozzerella cheese and breadcrumbs on top. It was great... Adam and I then went out for a walk on the boardwalk, it was a little less than 2 miles. We then ran to Kmart to pick up a few things for the apartment now that he is officially living here!!!!! I am now relaxing with some brownies baking in the oven for mom and I ate one of my super charge me cookies because I NEEDED something sweet ASAP! I also did have some brownie batter.. It is another one of those SWEETS kinda days.

I hope everyone had a fast and good Monday!

see you tomorrow.
