Hiya Girlies :)

I'm in a very good mood tonight since me and one of my brides maids.. Kelli are going out tonight to see Daddypop :-D

Here's a quick recap of yesterday and todays eats!

Yesterday morning was Kashi Raisin Spice oatmeal and a Dunkin Donuts Toasted Almond coffee with skim milk and splenda.. MMMM Lunch was homemade garlic tomato soup (I'll have to post the recipe tomorrow! its really good) with some wheatables and tons of fresh pineapple!

After work I did a quick 2.5 miles on the treadmill came home and went to the health food store to pick up one of my favorite veggie chicken salad sammies and had some pickles and Stacy's pita chips on the side.. TOTALLY HIT THE SPOT! MY FAVORITE!I had a piece of cake (forgot to take a picture since it was calling my name and I inhaled it.. heheh

I'll be back shortly with todays eats :-D

CARS STINK!

Hey All!

How was your day? Mine was rudely interrupted around 5:15 because my bladder was about to burst, unfortunately Adam was in the pottyroom getting ready for work. I finally jumped up and yelled to him to get out ASAP! I was floating.. hahahah It took along time to go back to sleep and then the alarm was going off before I knew it. Breakfast was another delish bowl of oats, same as yesterday I think I may be addicted. Not a bad thing to be addicted to I think?

I of course brought my mug of coffee with me and had a few cheerios at snack time with the kiddies. Lunch was a cup of Pacific Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato soup. MY FAVORITE!! I had some Wheatables on the side and some cantaloupe and honeydew. I had 2 of my kiddies go home sick today :( looks like a tummy virus is running around my classroom!! NOT GOOD AT ALL! I made an appointment for Saturday at David's Bridal and called about my car while the kids were napping. I found out that its the computer that's causing my cars problems and I have to take it to the dealer. Looks like an expensive problem!!! At afternoon snack I had a couple handfuls of Froot Loops and a cup of peppermint tea. I was then off to the gym and did 35 minutes on the treadmill while watching wife swap. I came home and picked up Adam and picked up my car after shelling out 100 bux or them to tell me they couldn't fix it :( UGH

We decided to lay low tonight and relax (not that I relaxed at all!) My stomach isn't feeling too swift so I just had a Chobani Vanilla with lots of frozen berries with a bunch of Honey Nut Cheerios. I also had a couple of handfuls of grapes while trying to figure out what the feed my face with!!! I also had a few olives and pretzels too, I was craving something salty after that sweet dinner. I figured since I was going to be home I'd bake Adam some cookies Double Chocolate Pecan Chippers from The Everyday Vegan. I tried one and boy were they good! Adam liked them too. After cleaning up the kitchen I noticed a "smell" near the garbage, I have no idea what it was but needless to say a trip to the dumpster later. I have the garbage can soaking with bleach in the shower overnight. That made me start cleaning out drawers in the kitchen, so needless to say I just sat down to relax around 9ish. Only 2 more days to go and then its girls night out Friday for Happy Hour and to see the band playing our wedding :-D

I hope you had a great day, see you all tomorrow!

I just realized I never took a picture of the tasty cookies, I'll try to remember to take one tomorrow before I inhale them ;)

Where's All The Snow?!?!?!

Hey there!

Well Daddy is back home! No clue what the deal is :( but at least he is home! I didn't sleep well last night at all I couldn't fall asleep until well after 12 then woke up around 6ish. UGH I got up around 7:30 and made some coffee. I put some cocoa powder with stevia and skim milk in it and boy was it tasty! We went to the dinner near our house last night since I was in no mood for cooking. I got a veggie omelet with egg whites, home fries and ww toast. It was huge so I brought a ton of it home and ate the leftover omelet for breakie this morning with some fruit on the side. Adam had the home fries but of course I stole a few ;) mmm

I was in cleaning mode so I vacuumed and dusted and backed Adam a chocolate chip quick bread for this weeks breakfast, I threw away the box and can't remember who it was made by. But let me tell you it was TASTY!! If I figure it out I will let ya know :-D

I ate way too much batter and then was off to the gym, I did about 35 minutes and some weights. I then went to my parents to see daddy and do my laundry. I may or may not have eaten my body weight in cookies there.. OOPPS! haha

Once home I unloaded the laundry and showered then had a pear with cottage cheese since I was still full from the cookie fest! I sat around and watched The Real Housewives of Atlanta and paid some bills. Adam and I then went to Wegman's to get a Pork tenderloin that he cooked up tonight to try out.

Since I was feeling yucky from my sugar overload I just had a cup of Pacific Brand Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato soup with some Wheatables. Adam's dinner took awhile and I was hungry so I chowed down while he cooked.(Gotta love the classy plastic top I threw the crackers on!! :-p) Once his was done I tried a few bites, and boy was it good! I even ate a few more bites of the pork and veggies. He wanted me to take a picture, but I was too lazy to get up and get the camera.. hahah I then made myself a dirty martini and ate a few olives. It was too dirty for me and after about 5 sips I gave it to Adam. I then had a 2 chocolate covered peanuts and a mini dark milkway. YUM! More sugary goodness... Now I feel like CRAP!!!!!!!!!! I think I may make a cup of gingerbread tea, since I finally foud the Celestial Seasonings Seasonals tea at Stop and Shop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also picked up the Sugar Cookie one and I can't wait to try it :)

I hope you all have a great night! Tomorrow we are off to get our passports and go to the travel agent at the mall to get started on the HONEYMOON! WOOHOO!

See you tomorrow!

Why Do The Weekends Fly By?

Hi There All! Boy am I full and sleepy. All I wanted to do was eat today, and eat I did. I'll start with breakfast, I had 1 egg white and 1 egg scrambled with some Kraft FF Cheddar Cheese and lots of ketchup. I also probably had about a pound of grapes while deciding on breakfast, I was STARVING this morning! Thanks to the shot and beer last night! AHAHI also had a mug of Holiday Spice coffee and a half a piece of whole wheat toast on the side.(I had started eating then realized I needed a picture!) I ran to my parents to drop some stuff off and ate a chocolate chip cookie that had just come out of the oven. MMMMM We went to Harry and David to pick up Adam's Dad a xmas present and walked around a bit. We were home early so I did some cleaning and baking! Lunch was a plain Chobani yogurt with frozen berries, and lots of Back to Nature granola (apple blueberry) I also had some of Adam's Wendy's french fries.. YUMMY! Then it was baking time! I made my mom's favorite peanut butter cookies:

I also added semi sweet chocolate chips in since Adam thought it sounded good ;) Unfortunately I ate way too much cookie dough, so I'm not feeling too wonderful! That's what I get!! hahah

I got some work done for school and relaxed. Then decided on dinner, I had a big bowl of salad with tuna and Newman's Own Asian Sesame dressing. I also had some pieces of a sweet potato that I had microwaved (the thing was HUGE) and some reduced fat wheatables and pickle slices. So random I know!! HAHA I also ate 2 of those cookies I made!

Needless to say I'm very full and uncomfortable right now but I enjoyed every single bite ;)

I hope you all had a great weekend! See you tomorrow, its gonna be a late one for me since now its winter sports season and my brother is on the bowling team. This is one sport I totally understand (I was on the team in hs too I'm a big dork I know ) So I'll be running there right from work!

Why Do The Weekends Fly By?

Wow where do the weekends go? After breakfast and showers we were off to the boardwalk since it was beautiful out, there was a juvenile diabetes walk there so it was PACKED! We then went and picked up my brother and went to Target and Costco. I got a few things but nothing too exciting, I looked at Target for their chocolate pb but didn't see it there I was very upset :( lol at Costco they had tons of samples so I tried one of some type of soft cheese and bread, I had a tiny bite and gave the other bite to my brother. It was really good :) On our way home Adam stopped at Wendy's to get a burger and fries. I ofcourse had a bite of the tasty burger and a few fries.. I had a Pepperidge Farm fruit and grain bagel with cottage cheese, pickles and some red peppers. MMMM GOOD! I also had a handful of walnuts while figuring out what I wanted since I was STARVING!! I then relaxed for a bit and did a few things around the apartment and then we were off to food shop for the week. I got some new mayan chocolate drink for general foods international which I can't wait to try :)

For dinner I had some Wheatables with Pacific Foods Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup, and a piece of apple on the side. I also had a few slices of red pepper and celery with some ranch dressing after I took the picture because Adam was making a big salad...I was in the munchie mood. I figured if I'm munchie I might as well eat some good stuff. For dessert I had 3 bites of the chocolate cake that my mom made this weekend (forgot to take a picture since I was eating it out of the container) since I'm a piggy and can't turn down chocolate cake!
