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 ;)

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 ;)

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.

Passports and Honeymoons!

Hey There All!
I wanted to type early but was lazy this afternoon and actually made dinner!!

I guess I'll start off with breakfast, it was oatmeal, banana, soynog, cinnamon and some Grape nuts. I also had a mug of Holiday Spice coffee with FF half and half and stevia. We sat and watched some TV then went to Adam's mom's house to do some stuff on her computer. I was transferring all of Adam's music onto a scandisk USB Thingy.. hahah We then were off to the mall for passports and booking the honeymoon!! When waiting for the pictures for our passports we ended up running into one of Adam's friends from work so it was nice to chat while waiting. By the time we were done it was around 12 and we were getting thirsty and munchy. I got a Coke Zero and Adam got some cookies, I did have 2 bites of a fudge cookie.. MMMM

We then booked the honeymoon to Antiqua http://www.sandals.com/main/antigua/an-home.cfm. We are so excited! I can't wait :-D After the mall we were STARVING! Adam had never been to an Olive Garden so we stopped there on the way home. I got a bowl of Minestrone and ate a breadstick too.. MMM I also had some of Adam's salad and a couple bites of his tasty pizza that he got. I was so mad that I forgot my phone to take pictures.. GRRR We came home and relaxed, I did my lesson plans for the week and snacked on some nuts while watching the Giants lose :(

Around 5 I got to cooking diner, We made regular and sweet potato fries and flounder breaded and baked in the oven for 12 minutes. I am not a fan of touching meats/fish when the are not cooked but I did it all by myself and boy was I proud :) I also had a glass of White Zin with dinner. After dinner while chatting I had a chocolate, chocolate chip cookie and 2 chocolate covered peanuts. MMM

I am off to watch Rich Bride, Poor Bride and get ready for bed and a new week.

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!
