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

Ice Ice Baby!

OMG the roads were so bad this morning! Thank goodness for only having to go around the block! HAHA This morning I was up before the alarm as usual and started to get ready in hopes my car would start.. I made up a bowl of oats with an extremely ripe nanner... It was so creamy and tasty...mmmmm mmm good! I also brought a mug of coffee with me to warm me up since it was 11 degrees out.

There were only 6 kids in my class today which was extremely nice. Luckily the morning flew by and it was time for lunch and boy was I hungry, I had a Dannon Light and Fit with a pear and some froot loops.. so so good! It was one of the kids birthday so I also had a chocolate munchin for snack.. After work I went to the gym and did 2.25 miles on the treadmill while watching Oprah, and then did some weights.

I came home and did some things around here, and cut up some veggies for my salad.. talked on the phone with my friend Kelli, showered then ate. I had a salad with lots of veggies, hummus, croutons and the last of my Newman's Asian dressing. I also had some leftover sweet tater fries that I burnt in my toaster! UGH! It totally smelled like smoke, so I opened up the windows even though its freezing and lit some candles.. now it smells delish :-D

I was in the candy mood so I had some chocolate covered peanuts (pic x2) lol. Well I hope everyone had a great Tuesday.

Do you have anything exciting going on this week?

I have a work meeting tomorrow and then my brother's fashion show for the Academy of Finance that he is in.. It should be fun!

See ya'll tomorrow!

SNOW DAY!!!!!!!!

I originally took today off from work but ended up having a snow day anyway! We found out last night around 9ish.. I can't believe we got a foot of snow at the Jersey Shore!!! Its exciting but a pain all at the same time. I got up around 8:15 and was so happy to have slept the whole night :)

I made some coffee and a nice bowl of oats. Then I got to making that yummy Irish Soda bread, I kept some for us and gave one to my parents and one to Adam's mom. We then went out and cleaned off the 3 cars which took almost an hour to do! YUCK! Thank goodness the wind wasn't too bad at that moment.. Around 1 I started to get hungry so I had a Yoplait Cinnamon Roll yogurt (not my favorite too sweet!!) and a pear. I also tried a piece of the bread to make sure no one gets sick :-P I cleaned a bit then we took Adam's work truck out to the store from some eggs and bread, and stopped by my parents to drop off the soda bread. I got some stuff done for work then showered and got dinner together. We had some leftover sloppy joes with sweet and regular fries that we made.. MMMM so good! I also had a pickle on the side. Dessert was a chocolate covered peanut and an almond Hershey's kiss... YUM YUM! I am off to relax and watch tv with Adam.. Have a great night guys :-D

Another Busy One

Well today is another go go go kinda day so here is my quick recap.. Lots of pictures missing since I was rushing and just wanted food in my belly!!! lol

Breakfast was a bowl of oats, eaten with Adam this morning since he had his gum surgery. Poor guy couldn't even sleep in :( I also brought a mug of coffee with me for a caffeine boost. I walked to work today and came home at lunch to pick up the car since I knew this afternoon would be busy. Lunch was a Dannon Light and Fit and a Pear. I also mixed in some cheerios into my cereal for CRUNCH! At snack time I may have had a handful or 2 of froot loops ;)

I went to the gym and did a quick 2 miles and came home to my baby laying on the couch.. He's doing ok, just uncomfortable. They ended up putting in some bone growing stuff b/c his bone in between 2 of his molars is disappearing! NOT GOOD! lets hope this helps! I showered and ate the other half of my veggie delight from last night with some pita chips and 2 handfuls of grapes afterward.

I went to my class on inclusion and got a decaf hazelnut coffee from Dunkin Donuts with skim milk and splenda. When I finally got home tonight around 8:45 I had an orange and a few (maybe more) jelly beans! My tummy was growling during the class.. haha Probably out of boredom.. I talked to my friend tonight and we might be going to AC for Saturday night I"ll see if I can handle it money wise... We will see.. ;) Oh and I almost forgot! I came home to a package from Gnufoods.com Thanks so much to Robyn for sending me a bunch of fun samples to try! I can't wait! I tried the Chocolate Brownie last week and loved it.. When I try them I will definitely let you all know how they are :)

Hope you had a great humpday! 2 more days to go!!!!!!!!!!

I Love Saturdays!

I got so much done today!!! I woke up way too early this morning..BIG SHOCKER! I made a pot of coffee for Adam and I then had a bowl of Kashi Bluberry Oat Clusters with a banana and light vanilla soymilk. I also had a bite or 2 of Adam's sausage and eggs :) I got a couple things done and went to the gym. I did 2.5 miles and went to my parents to do my laundry, and bake a Duncun Hines Carrot Cake. I had way too much batter but boy was it yummy ;) I came home and put away all my laundry had a few walnuts and showered. I was feeling kinda yucky from all the batter so I just settled on a pear and cottage cheese to hopefully ease my belly.

I got my lesson plans done for this coming week and some other things and then we headed out to Target and Wegman's! My favorite things to do on the weekend.. haha I'm such a dork!I got some Jelly Belly Jelly Beans at Wegman's and snacked a on few in the car. They are my favorite jelly beans.. We finally came home around 6 and got to cooking.

I made a hamsteak cooked in pineapple juice. I had a sweet potato on the side with Newman's Pineapple salsa. YUMO! Since I was in the cooking mood I whipped up a lowfat baked ziti for tomorrow night too. I also made some tiramisu for Adam for dessert which I had one too many bites of (sorry no pic.. I was a piggy) We are now watching Goodfellas since I've never seen it! I hope everyone had a great day! see ya'll tomorrow.

Feeling Blah

After this past week I'm just feeling a bit blue. I'll just give a quick recap of my eats yesterday ;)

Friday's breakfast was my ususal oatmeal and coffee which totally hit the spot! The morning was crazy and once lunch time hit I was starving! I had my Dannon Light and Fit Kiwi Strawberry and a pear. I then had to talk to a parent about their childs behavior.. This is what made the day not so fun... I went to the gym right after work to DE STRESS and did 2.25 miles on the treadmill and came home to find Adam home already :) We decided on going out to dinner after both having a rough week. We tried Applebee's across the street, but our waitress never came to us!!!!!!!!! Needless to say after 15 minutes of staring at the menu we got up and left. We went to a pub down the street from us http://www.porchpub.com/ I got a cosmo and a cheeseburger (cheddar) with sweet potato fries. OMG now I know why this place is known for their burgers!!! As you all may have noticed I'm not a big red meat eater at all but I've been craving a good burger and this fit the bill! I ate half and some fries and some of Adam's salad. I also was bad and got another cosmo. MMMM Needless to say I was tipsy but very happy and relaxed. We then went to A&P to pick up some breakfasty stuff for today. I checked out cars and car insurance once we came home I also snacked on a piece of Hershey's dark chocolate truffle from my vday heart and a chocolate covered peanut... yum yum! (there was lots of water drinking in there too!! I was then ready to hit the hay by 11ish and passed out!!!

I hope you all had a good Friday and I'll be back later to recap my breakie from this morning ;) Have a WONDERFUL WEEKEND :-D

Last Day of Freedom!

I finally slept in today!! I woke up at 8 and was so excited when I looked at the clock. I slept over 8 hours and boy did I need it! I wasn't very hungry so I made some coffee and watched the news for a bit, until Adam's breakfast was almost done cooking. I then made my normal bowl of oats. It totally hit the spot! Along with a bite of Adam's fried eggs and pork roll ;) I baked a new bread today which I got from http://zestycook.com/homemade-bubbly-beer-bread/. It came out great! I completely forgot to take a picture though and already cut it up for freezing and giving to the parents. I figured it would go well with Adam's chili that he made yesterday. I also cleaned up the apt. a bit while letting food settle in my belly. I then went to the gym and did a quick 2.5 miles on the treadmill watching Rachel Ray and came home to shower and get ready to do a few errands with Adam. We mailed out our save the date finally today!! Its about time! lol.

We went for a walk through Manasquan town since it is so nice out, came home and I was getting HUNGRY. I had a huge pear with 3/4 cup whipped cottage cheese, but while figuring out what to have I snacked on some dried fruit (dried apples, pears, peaches, and plums) These were so good and moist. We are now watching Pretty in Pick and enjoying our day off until we have to go for our meeting with the Pastor who is doing our wedding. While watching I snacked on one of the new Quaker True Delights bars that I got free from Foodbuzz. I had the Dark Chocolate Raspberry Almond and it was very tasty.

I really enjoyed it and would definitely buy some! Hope you all are having a great President's Day/ Monday.

Question:

If your off today do/did you have anything fun planned?

HAPPY BELATED VALENTINE'S DAY!

Hi Guys!

I hope you all had a wonderful day yesterday :) Mine was a busy one to start out with! We were up early... even earlier than we needed to be :( Once again I can't sleep a full night! ugh! We got ready and were out the door by 8:15 to get gas and some DD's for the ride. I had a medium Hazelnut coffee with skim milk and an equal. I had a bite of Adam's bacon egg and cheese but my breakie was a yoplait cherry cobbler, some cereal and a couple of pieces of a pear I cut up(I forgot the pic of this opps) We missed the bowling alley 3 times and were driving around New Brunswick for awhile. It was too funny!! We still got there earlier and found my family right away. This bowling alley has 82 lanes which I think is nuts! When I bowled there the first time my Freshman year of HS I was in awe.. haha I'm such a dork!!! Poor Manasquan didn't do too well, but it looked like the boys were enjoying themselves anyway so that is all that matters! The tournament was over by 12 and were drove over to Menlo Park mall to wander around. In the car once we got there I had a Clif Pumpkin Pie bar, these are the best flavor by far!!! :-D I also chugged a bottle of water since the bowling alley was so freaking hot! We had fun walking around the mall and left around 2ish to come home and hang out for a bit.

Once home I snacked on some random things I seriously don't even remember except for some grapes.. hahah I then had a slight breakdown... I have a 4 day break but have a bunch of things to do with work/wedding/cleaning the apt. and just got upset. I was just being a bit dramatic but I really can't wait for our honeymoon where I don't have to think about anything except laying out by the pool (ok so I know that is so not me and I'll be out exploring the whole time! I can't sit still too long at all) lol

We then ordered out Vday pizza from the pizza place my brother works at. We got large pie half (mine) with peppers and mushrooms and Adam's half with pepperoni and sausage. He also got a pasta e fagioli. I had a few spoonfuls of the soup and a piece of my pizza and 2 huge bites of Adam's. I was so full, my belly was just weird yesterday I never got hungry. That is so unlike me. I got my lesson plans done for next week and we looked up a few things online then got to playing some super mario brothers on wii and had a few beers. I had a Blue Moon with an orange slice and then half a Miller Lite.(unpictured) Since it was Vday and I just had to have some chocolate I had 3 peanut mms and made Adam some random chocolate covered fruits. I was antsy to do something once we were done with the video games.. I had half a banana which I melted chocolate done and attempted to roll the naner in. I also put a couple of dried apricots in there for the extra chocolate. I def licked my fingers once or twice ;) hehe Adam decided to take pictures of me when I was playing with the chocolate. They didn't come out so well.. here's the best one ;)

How was your Vday? I have to say I was never one to make a big deal out of it. I think it is way too commercialized... Its really just another day to me.. but it does give me a "reason" to eat more chocolate ;)

2 More Days Until My Weekend!!!

Oh how I love short weeks!!! :) I woke up this morning not too hungry.. I made up a bowl of oats (the usual) and forced myself to eat it up since I didn't know how the morning would be. I made a cup of coffee to bring with me on my walk. The morning flew by and it was pretty dark and dingy out so I walked home to pick up my car just in case in started to rain before I got out of work. Lunch was a pear with cottage cheese and some pretzels, I still wasn't hungry and it took me a while to eat it. ME NOT HUNGRY... WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!?!?LOL After work I was off to the gym for a quick 2 miles on the treadmill and a run to Kmart to pick up something for a certain someone for VDAY :)

I came home and checked my email and showered then made up some Garlic Shells by Lipton. These were my absolute favorite growing up, def not healthy but brings back good memories which is all that matters to me ;) We also had dad's home made chicken cordon bleu which was AMAZING! I went back for a little of both after I finished what was on my plate ;) FYI I tore into before the pic because it was held together with toothpicks and we were trying to find em ;)We stopped by the rent's after dinner and went to pick up a few things at A&P since they had grapes on sale !!! 99 cents a pound!! We came home and I was craving nuts so I had a few walnuts and some lime jello and cool whip... mmm Now its time to watch American Idol and be lazy with my sweetie! Hope Ya'll had a great day! I will try to blog tomorrow but I have another class for my CEU's so we will see how exhausted I am when I get home ;) toodles tigers!

Its a Tundra Out There!

I actually woke up to snow this morning! I was so excited :-D Breakfast was a nice hot bowl of oats with cinnamon, banana, soynog, and grapenuts. I also brought my mug of coffee to keep me toasty warm. This morning was not too bad even though it was one of my "heavy" kiddie days, it flew by and I realized it was already lunch time. I decided to call Adam and see how he was doing out in this coldness. Lucky him he was on his way home from work! While on the phone I cleaned my car off so I didn't have to worry about it after work.

I was more than ready for lunch when I got in, I had a pear with cottage cheese and about 2 handfuls of Cheddar Cheese Goldfish.

Luckily we didn't have many kids this afternoon so I got to leave around 3:40 and went right to the gym. I snacked on some more goldfish on the ride ;) Once I got there I did alittle over 2 miles on the treadmill and some weights. I came home and relaxed for a bit since Adam had a dentist appointment. I also had some pumpkin trail mix from Target, this stuff is AMAZING! I'm so glad I caved in and tried it :) I showered and watched the news, since there was a plane crash in NY. I wondered what to have for dinner and decided on a ww Arnold Sandwich thin with a slice of American cheese, and a few slices of Light Life Bologna. This was my favorite sammy when I worked at the health food store. On the side I had half of a giant sweet potato, and I also snacked on about 3 olives (which I didn't get a picture of) We had some errands to run and once we got home I had one of the cookies I baked last night. These are so good! I think one of my favorites! I am off to look at David's Bridal's website to look at dresses since Saturday is the big shopping day! I talked to my bridal party and they will all be coming too! It should be a fun afternoon I can't wait. Well have a great night and stay toasty warm if you in the northeast ;)

3 More Days To Go!!

Can you tell I'm ready for the weekend?

Lets see.. to start off my day I was lucky enough to have Adam still here, since he went into the office today. I had a bowl of oats with cinnamon, banana, soynog, and grape nuts. YUM! I also had a mug of coffee.

At lunch time since it was pretty warm out I walked home to take advantage of the kinda warmness.. since the rest of the week is going to be FREEZING! I got back to work and had some lunch which was a pear and cottage cheese with some froot loops! The afternoon seemed to drag forever! It was finally 4 oclock and I was off to the gym. On the way there I snacked on some nuts, to give myself some energy. I did 30 minutes on the treadmill and some weights and came home. I called about my car and they said that they are still trying to figure it out :( something with the computer and it not realizing that the car is getting warm, which is why its EATING gas up!!

When I got home I had some dried fruit and some grapes before getting in the shower and checking my email. Dinner was a Amy's veggie burger with a slice of American cheese, sweet potato fries and a pickle. I had to run to my parents house to pick a few things up and dad gave us some Italian beef stew to try, since its going to be so cold.. Gotta love how he worries about us :-D We ran to Shoprite for the can can sale and picked up a few things and came home. I had a cookie while fixing up my report cards and now I'm watching American Idol.

I hope you all have a great night! See you tomorrow.

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!
