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

I Need to Buy a New Car ASAP!

Hey there... I woke up again before my alarm clock today :( I know its good to wake up without an alarm but I wish I was sleeping longer ya know? I got up and got ready.. made a bowl of Kashi Oat Flakes & Wild Blueberry Clusters with cinnamon, banana and light soy milk. I also had the usual cup of coffee for workage.. I went out to my car and guess what!!!! IT WOULDN'T START!!! Needless to say I was not a happy camper. I dropped my gym clothes back off in the apt and walked to work. It was very very chilly but I just said forget it, I'll walk back at lunch and pick up Adam's car. The morning went by pretty quick (thank goodness) and it was time to walk back home to pick up the car. I got back to work and ate my Light and Fit Lemon with cantaloupe and pretzels. YUM YUM. At snack time this afternoon I had some more pretzels just to munch because I felt like a bottomless pit today! (I'm thinking b/c the stress of the car) I then got out around 3:45 WOOHOO for getting out early, and went to the gym. I did 30 minutes on the treadmill and weights and came home. When I got home I had about 2 handfuls of these tiny grapes we picked up at Foodtown this week. We did leftovers again since our fridge was filled with them. I had Annie's Mac and Cheese with tuna, on the side I had a pickle too :) tuna with pickles is one of my perfect meals.

(I have no idea why the mac and cheese uploaded sideways!)

I also had some of the roasted veggies that Adam had. I ate them cold out of the container.. They were quite tasty! We ran out to pick up some salads to have with dinner tomorrow night. My dad gave us a chicken dish that he made to try. (He wants me to make cheesecake for him this weekend so he's bribing me with dinner) Works for me!! When we got home I had 2 more of those yummy choc choc chip cookies, only 3 more left.. Thank goodness!! Tomorrow is a girls night out so I'm off to read some magazines and relax! tomorrow is supposed to be toasty! 45 degrees WE'RE HAVING A HEATWAVE HERE IN JERSEY!! hahah Have a great night and see you all tomorrow :-D

Thank Goodness Its Almost Friday :-D

Here's my recap run down, breakfast was the usual Special K Vanilla Almond with a banana, cinnamon and LF Vanilla soymilk. I brought my big old travel mug of coffee since I was FREEZING today! I walked to work and the wind was blowing pretty good, I was pretty chilly with just a long sleeve shirt and a sweatshirt on. For lunch I had some Dannon Light and Fit and cantaloupe and a few pretzels since I wanted CRUNCHIENESS! I was going to go to the gym since Adam had to be up early and did not want to go to his nephews football game tonight, then I heard there was a beached whale on a beach near my house so we went up to the boardwalk. Before we left I snacked on some walnuts since I was feeling munchie. There was no Whale there, but we had a nice little walk. Nothing long at all, it was breezy up there but it was nice to go up there during the day.

We stopped by the health food store that I used to work at so Adam could pick up some veggies, so I just had to get one of my favorite sandwiches from when I used to work there. Its a vegetarian chicken salad sammy on sprouted bread, it had carrots and celery mixed in too. I also had some pickles and a honey wheat pretzel to go with it. It really fills me up, but not enough to not want to bake. My parents had some Bisquick at home that needed to be used up so they called me to bake them some coffee cake. Here's the recipe I use http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/recipe.aspx?recipeID=35943&Source=SearchResultPage it is my dad's favorite so I couldn't say no ;)

I also had to retry baking Dreena's Homestyle Chocolate Chip Cookies from Vive Le Vegan since I had no idea what I did wrong last time, and this time they came out perfect! Thank goodness!! :)

Adam wanted me to tell everyone Hello :)

I hope everyone had a great Thursday! One more day until the weekend!!

2 More Days Until the Weekend

Well today started out just like any other day, I had my bowl of Special K Vanilla Almond with some banana, cinnamon and LF vanilla soymilk. I of course brought m travel mug of coffee with me for some energy ;) At lunch I walked home (I drove to work today because it was supposed to rain), I needed a phone number to call the church were the ceremony is going to be and I had forgotten it. I decided to wait on lunch until around 1ish, I hate eating breakfast and lunch when I'm not hungry. I was actually hungry for breakfast this morning so I had a couple of handfuls of grapes after the cereal which I guess kept me going a tad longer today. For lunch I had a protein bar because I still was not even that hungry and just didn't feel like the yogurt I had brought. I also had a few bites of cantaloupe just so I felt like I had some fruit at lunch. I was then off to the gym and did 2 miles and some weights.

Dinner was just an almond butter and jelly sandwich with some leftover fries that we had made, I just didn't know what I wanted and didn't feel like anything BIG. We then went for a walk on the boardwalk, the sky looked pretty bad but we made it through about 1.2 miles since it wasn't looking too promising. On the walk I got a phone call about one of my bridesmaids, she has to have surgery :( We then ran to pick up some salad for dinner tomorrow since we are going to Adam's nephews flag football game around dinner tomorrow so we are going to want something quick. I'm now finally relaxing and reading some blogs trying to forgot that I have a full house of kiddies tomorrow! Ugh. Oh and when I got home and unpacked the groceries I snacked on some cantaloupe since it was calling my name.

Hope everyone had a great day :) see you tomorrow!

CRAZY TUESDAY!

Well I had 13 kiddies today and it was alittle nuts! I started my day with a bowl of Special K Vanilla Almond with banana and cinnamon and LF vanilla soymilk. I also had my travel mug of coffee to bring with me since I knew I was going to need it!

Lunch was a Dannon Light and Fit and some cantaloupe, with a few pretzels for some crunch factor.I forgot to take pictures of the pretzels and cantaloupe. OOPPS

I had walked to and from work so I did about 2 miles at the gym so I could come home and get ready.

Pete and Elda's gets PACKED so we wanted to get there as early as possible. Adam wanted their Antipasta platter so I had some lettuce, red and green peppers, cucumbers and a bite of meat and cheese with some red wine vinegar on it. Then it was on to the pizza!! We got half mushrooms and peppers and half meatball. I had one slice of the veggie and about 3/4 slice of the meatball. They are known for extra extra thin crust but it fills me up pretty quickly! I also had a Miller Lite to sip on, after the hell of a day I had. We then went to Wegman's and picked up a few things for the week. We are finally home relaxing and I'm catching up on blogs before I go to sleep, maybe I'll do some ab work before I conk out! (Only got a pic of the veggie slice I jumped right into the meatball one :-p)

I also had a cookie when I got home just to relax and have my sugar fix ;)

I hope everyone had a wonderful Tuesday! Tomorrows Humpday :-D

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.

Another Busy One!!

I planned on posting last night but with the rain everything got changed!

Lets start at the beginning of the day.

Breakfast was the usual Kashi Go Lean Crunch and Total with skim milk, banana and cinnamon. I brought my coffee with me to work because it was too hot to drink before I left and didn't want to chug it.

Lunch was another Dannon Light and Fit with cantalope on the side, I also got conned into trying leftover cheesecake brownies from back to school night! YUM! (forgot to take pictures)

After work I was off the gym in the downpour! I decided against my brothers football game at this point. I LOVE FOOTBALL GAMES (GO SQUAN!) but HATe being cold and wet. So I did about 2.30 miles on the treadmill and came home. Adam decided it was a great night to get his keys made for the apartment! So we had "date" night at Home Depot, we then ran across the street to Ruby Tuesdays. I love their salad bar so I was mighty excited. Adam wanted an appetizer so we got their Typhoon Shrimp which are so good but fried and bad for you ;) I also got a Ruby Relaxer, I always enjoy a fun drink to relax at dinner on a Friday night. I then went up and piled my plate high with romaine, carrots, peppers, cucumbers, red onions, the tinest bit of cheese, dried cranberries, some grapes, a small scoop of some pasta salad that looked yummy and some croutons (I love their croutons) I put some lite ranch on it all. It really hit the spot, I was not even that hungry and I inhaled it! Hence why I forgot to take a darn picture!!!! UGH! I really need to learn to slow down (note to self) Adam got a steak with a crab cake, ofcourse he twisted my arm to try them and they were great also! We then were off to Costco for some things, I got a pineapple that I can't wait to cut into. We came home and Adam made some Cosmos but I just wasn't feeling it, I had a few sips but decided I wanted a cookie instead ;) It was then off to bed for me, Rainy days make me so sleepy. Hope everyone had a great Friday. I'll be back later with breakfast and my gym recap :-D

Its starting to feel like fall!

This is going to be a long post, I've got my whole day to recap! :)

for breakfast it was cereal (Kashi and Total) Banana and the last of my soymilk and some iced coffee. I was then off to walk to work on this beautiful day.

Lunch was the usual yogurt (Dannon light and fit) and cantalope(forgot a pic this morning), I also had a bag of these

Probably not the best thing for me but I was hungry on my walk back to the apartment before I left for the gym.

I did 2 miles on the treadmill and some upper body weights. I walked about a half mile from going back and forth to work today.

Dinner was some of the Ratatouille, half a sweet potato and a half can of tuna. This wasn't all mixed together (I forgot to take a picture since it was all random things I took out of the fridge and inhaled while listening to Adam about his day.

We then went to the Health Food store that I used to work at to get a veggie chicken salad sandwich for tomorrow, I have back to school night so I wanted something easy and this is my favorite! I also found THIS!!! I was so happy! I opened it right up in the parking lot to try it and wow was it GREAT! We then ran over to the bank and Foodtown to pick up a few things, I even saw one of my students who was very shocked to see the teacher not in school. I quess teachers never ever leave the classroom :-p

I'm now relaxing and eating a super charge me cookie and watching some tv.

I hope everyone had a great humpday! 2 more days to go.

Rainy Tuesday...

Hello everyone!

I woke up this morning and wanted to go right back to sleep. Tuesdays are my "Busy" days at work, I had 13 kids today but it ended up to be a nice day thank goodness! They were all happy for almost the whole morning, once 11 hits though they are all tired and ready for a nap. So the last 45 minutes are tough but then it was lunch and an easy afternoon for me :)

Onto the foodage of the day: breakfast was cereal (Kashi Go Lean Crunch and Total) with banana and lf soymilk. I made a new type of coffee and I took one sip and had to toss it! I was so mad it was my so called crazy busy day and no coffee for me since I didn't have enough time to make more. I could've run to Einstein Bagel for some but I didn't want to spend the money (gotta save for the wedding!!!) Snack time I had a few pretzels with the kids even though I wasn't hungry, they were calling me name...lol

Lunch was cherry vanilla yogurt and canalope I also had a few more pretzels and grapes in the afternoon with the kids at snack.

After work I went to the gym but had ZERO energy! I did about 2.25 miles. My belly isn't so happy after dad's birthday dinner last night, I ate a tad too much for my stomach to handle. Its been a tough belly day! I'm now trying to relax, to hopefully feel better and trying to figure out what the heck to have for dinner. Ideas anyone? Nothing too heavy. Ugh I hate not knowing what to eat! I miss the days growing up when it was you eat what you get... Who would have ever thought I'd miss it?!?!?

Hope everyone is having a great Tuesday and I hope it was a sunny day where you are :-D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!

Once again another busy busy day, I was up at at em for work around 7:30 today and had some breakfast of cereal (kashi go lean crunch and total) LF soymilk and banana and ofcourse a cup of coffee. I was then off to work for a nice relaxing day, we only had 5 today! Which is awesome since tomrorow I think I may have 14!! That is a ton of 2 year olds.......

Lunch was banana cream Axelrod yogurt and some cantalope that I sort of inhaled while talking to my boss about some things going on at the school. I also had a few pretzels and grapes during snack time ;)

I ran to the gym after work to get in a quick workout since I knew there would be some pigging out tonight. I did 2.30 miles on the treadmill and some lifting. I came home, refueled with a cookie and cleaned up the kitchen before jumping in the shower and running out the door to the parents house. I brought some work with me for the bulletin boards, which I didn't get much done of. We had baked chicken, baked sweet potato and some stuffing. I had about 3/4 piece of chicken 1/2 of a medium size sweet potato and a spoon full of stuffing. YUM! Gotta love mom's cooking :-D

Then it was time for my cake! Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting with christmas sprinkles. My dad always used to start playing christmas music pretty much right after school started when I was young to get my mom frazzled. haha She didn't want to start thinking about christmas shopping the 2nd week in September!! lol

here's my slice!

I'm now off to relax and do some work and be extremely full.

I hope everyone's Monday flew by like mine did :)

LAST WEEKEND OF THE BENNIES UNTIL NEXT YEAR!!

Ok so this is the last weekend of "summer" technically. It means the beaches and towns will finally be free of all the vacationers!! Alot has been said about the bennies by a mayor of a certain town.. So I think its good that summer is over and hopefully things can go back to "normal" well atleast until next Memorial Day. I really don't mind the out of towners, It is always enjoyable to watch the diferent people (since I'm a big people watcher) It was actually very quite up at the beach last night which suprised Adam and I greatly! Today isn't so nice at the Jersey Shore and the party for Adam's cousin/my highschool senior english teacher is postponed until tomorrow. That means today is gym/laundry day! My funfilled Saturday late morning/early afternoon :-D
Oh I also forgot to add that last night I had one of my supercharge me cookies while reading some blogs and relaxing on the couch with Adam :)

For breakfast this morning I had half of a multigrain bagel with black sesame seeds toasted with margarine and one half with sugar free raspberry jelly. I also had some cantalope and my usual mug o coffee! Adam was nice and shared a bite of porkroll and egg with me too! What a good fiance. I'm now looking up some recipes then I'll be off to burn off some energy/calories at the gym!


I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
