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

Wow today was a busy day! We only had 10 kiddies but they were full of energy. I was up ready to go this morning. I wasn't really hungry but made up my usual bowl of oats and some coffee. At snack time one of my co workers who recently went to Italy brought back these tasty cookies and let me tell you they were GREAT! I mean anything chocolate is a winner in my book but I really enjoyed these :)Since I walked to work and it started to look like rain I walked home at lunch in a drizzle to pick up my car, and some more coffee since I was chilly!!

Lunch while the kids rested was a bowl of Pacific Foods Roasted Red Pepper Tomato soup with some Wheatables on the side. MMMM I love this soup so much! After work on my way to the gym I had a pear since I was getting hungry. At the gym I did some weights and around 2 miles on the treadmill and ran to the dollar store to pick up a few things for work.

After coming home and getting some stuff done like showering ;) I made up dinner, which was half of a big old sweet potato with Newman's Own Pineapple Salsa. I also had a salad with some roasted red pepper hummus and croutons. I put some Newman's Own Lighten Up Low Fat Sesame Ginger Dressing . I am almost done with it! I'll have to get some more :) As I was eating one of my bridesmaids called and we chatted for a bit. I cleaned up the apartment since Adam's still working and now I'm snacking on a Weight Watchers Brownie that I heated up in the microwave for about 10 seconds. Its not too bad, I'd rather a no pudge brownie though if I'm going for low fat ;) I'm off to catch up on my blog reading! See everyone tomorrow :-D

Holy Humpday!

Well my alarm woke me up this morning (I set my cell phone just in case). I got up and got ready and made up my usual bowl of oats and my travel mug of coffee. When I got to work I saw it was NUTS! I had more children today than yesterday, which is usually my heavy day! They were a bit wild so I was glad the rain held off for the morning so we could go OUT! At lunch I wasn't very hungry yet, those oats really fill me up! I ate anyway though since I had a ton of kids in my room resting. They really don't rest though, they just do everything in their power to drive me wacky... Lunch was the same as yesterday yogurt and an orange, these navel oranges are great :) I also had a few froot loops when I was putting out snack. I didn't get out of work until after 4 since there were a ton of kids still there. I snacked on some pretzels and almonds on my way out the door to the gym. There I did almost 2.25 miles and just wanted to get home! Adam had to work a 13 hour day today and he still isn't home.. poor guy.. so I was on my own tonight. I made up a grilled cheese on ww with a gallon of ketchup and some pita chips (ate a bunch before taking a pic) and a few Doritos. Adam has to finish these tasty things up!! lol I also had a few spoonfuls of his chili but no picture ;) I inhaled it! I got a few odds and ends done and snacked on some cherry sf jello with cool whip, a piece of my dad's chocolate may have snuck in before the camera also... ooppsThis is what happens when I have a Megan night.. lots of yummy eats! lol I'm off to watch some food network and read all your blogs! 2 more days until the weekend, have a great night :-D

Darn Alarm Clock!

I over slept today!!! I have not done that since High School! My alarm went off but I have it on radio and it wasn't coming in, so it wasn't making any noise. I woke up at 7:50 instead of 7:30 and flew out of my bed. I don't work well rushing at all, and all I could think of was I better have time to eat.. ahhah Thank goodness I did and I got to work on time! maybe even a bit early, damn I'm good. For breakfast I picked up a new bar that I've been meaning to try its a Gnu Fiber bar in chocolate and I was pleasantly surprised. It was really good, and I plan on buying more of these next time I see them in the store. Luckily the morning flew by and by lunch I was ready to relax for a bit. I had my orange and since I wasn't really hungry from my flippy belly I saved my yogurt for the kids nap time.

After work I went to the gym and did 2.25 miles on the treadmill and lifted. I came home and got situated and got in the shower. I had a handful of peanuts and some raisins when I came home since I was alittle hungry and didn't know when Adam was getting home tonight from work.

Adam had chili tonight so I decided to go easy on my belly since it was still funny from rushing this morning. I had a salad with some hummus on top and some Newman's Own Lighten Up Low Fat Sesame Ginger Dressing. I also had a half of a big sweet potato with Newman's Own Mango Salsa, it was a Newman's kinda night ;) We went to shop rite to do some food shopping since I had some coupons and they had some good deals. I came home with some weight watchers snacks to try since they were on sale and I had a coupon. I had the chocolate cake tonight, they are SMALL!!! At first they had an icky fake taste... then I heated it up and it tasted better. I also had a few peanut mm's after it. I got some stuff done for work=cutting out "Lincoln's hat" for the kiddies to paint tomorrow. I think it may be an early night tonight. Hope your Tuesday flew by as quickly as mine did! See you tomorrow :-D

One Meeting Down!

Well we got our first meeting with the pastor out of the way! She seems very nice and upbeat which is always a good thing. We have to take an online questionnaire to find out our "strengths" and were we need to "grow". This should be interesting!! hahah When we got home around 6:15 I was just getting hungry, which surprised me since I'm always hungry.. what is my deal? I did have a cup of Sleigh Ride tea before we left but I doubt that filled me up! I had a PB & J on WW with some Brother's All Natural chips. I love this dinner so easy and comforting, which totally works for me! I snacked on some grapes as usual and had an orange (forgot to take a pic but we know what oranges look like ;) I'm now watching Food Network and relaxing with my sweetie pie before my work week begins.. Hope Ya'll had a great Monday! See you tomorrow.

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?

Wow This Mini Vaca Is Flying By!

I can't believe its Sunday night already!! Where did the weekend go? I woke up way too early this morning around 6ish but stayed in bed till about 7:30. I got up and made some coffee while checking email and watching the news. I was waiting for Adam to get up to get my oats started, so the minute he was up I was getting my foodage together :) I had my normal bowl of oats (banana, light original soy milk, grape nuts) and my coffee while chatting with Adam as he made his breakfast.

I went to the gym and did 2.5 miles on the treadmill and weights. I came home and we went across the street to A&P for Adam's goodies to make his yummy chilly. Once home He started cooking and I got to scrubbing the bathroom. Tons of fun for a Sunday morning :-P After cleaning and showering I started to get hungry around 12:30ish and made a bowl of Trader Joe's Greek Yogurt with strawberries and blueberries. I also mixed in some Golden Grahams for some CRUNCH! MMMM I also had a big ol' handful of grapes.

I decided to get my butt in gear and print out the labels finally for the save the dates. It took awhile to get the right size font but I finally got it! I then went to the parents house to do laundry, while there I also made some cookies. (forgot my camera since it was charging at home) I made double chocolate chunk and Oatmeal chocolate chip (both by Better Crocker in the pouch)I did try some cookie dough and it was YUMMY! Even though my tummy is way funny lately and this was not a good idea. Mom and I did some bonding over wedding stuff and once my laundry was finally done I came home to Adam watching the Daytona 500. I tried a tiny bowl of his chili that he made with chopped meat and pork tenderloin and it was really good!!! I'm not a huge chili fan but I really enjoyed it alot! I also had a salad to go with it. It had some roasted red pepper hummus, roasted red/yellow peppers, green pepper, cucs, lettuces, croutons and some balsamic vinegar for dressing. This totally hit the spot, I then was cutting up the rice krispie treats that I had made to give some to Joe and ate a small piece (no pic it was shoved in my face faster than you could imagine)hahah

Joe and I had a date to go bowling down the street since they have 1.75 games Sunday night from 7-9. Unfortunately the place was crazy packed and the wait would be forever so we left. I was so disappointed :( Instead I came home and had a piece of Daddy's chocolates the Grand Marnier one. SO FREAKING GOOD!!! I also had a few peanut mm's on the side. Chocolate cravings are out of control since we have tons in the house.. GET IT AWAY!!!!!!! hahah I'm now off to watch some rich bride poor bride.. See you all tomorrow! I've got one more day off!!! :-D
