It's not Friday yet?!

Thursday, October 23, 2008

I cannot WAIT for sleeping in Saturday morning. This is the only thing getting me through these next few days, haha.

I had the hardest time getting out of bed this morning. I woke up a half hour before my alarm went off, still exhausted, and then I was pissed off that I woke up before my alarm! I hate that!

Well, breakfast this morning was like dessert. I used the leftover sugar free cherry pie filling from my Cherry Pie Oats the other day, and topped a cup of vanilla Dannon Light 'N Fit with it. I also sprinkled on some Wild Berry Crisp cereal. Very good, exactly what I wanted.




Last night Kris did bring home some subs for us. I'd told him to just get whatever he wanted for me. He chose the "Chicken Bacon Ranch" sub from Subway, on wheat bread w/ spinach, cucumbers, tomatoes and onions. I never get that sub from there, so it was a nice treat. And I think I needed those extra calories from the bacon and ranch dressing after all that exercising yesterday.

I ate a handful of Kashi crackers with it.

Alright...... time to get ready for work. I need a job where it doesn't feel like work! Haha, dont' we all?

Food, Fashion and Fun-Filled Day

Wednesday, October 15, 2008

What a great day I had today! I am so glad that I didn't skip yoga, I felt awesome afterward. I always do, but it's so hard to remember that feeling when your alarm is blaring at 5:30 in the morning...

I drove Kris's car to school today so that he could take mine to get its oil changed (Isn't he so sweet?!). I drank half of my delicious smoothie on the drive to Mankato, then the other half after yoga. About a half hour after I got to work, I had a peanut butter & jelly waffle sandwich.

Made with one toasted Nutrigrain Low-Fat waffle, 1 tablespoon of Naturally More Peanut Butter, and 2 tablespoons of blueberry sugar free preserves. Yum.

I was soooooooooo busy at work today. I got ALOT done! Because I was on the move so much, I didn't get hungry until around 1 pm. Then, all of a sudden I was STARVING. Good thing I'd packed a HUGE lunch.

Leftover stir-fry veggies, mixed with broccoli slaw, peppers & sugar snap peas.

I also had a chicken dog, fresh pepper strips and hummus & mustard for dipping.

AND I had a Cherry Coke Zero for a treat.

After work I got in a super quick gym workout. An intense 20-minute hill program on the recumbant bike, then a quick 10-minute run on the treadmill (1.25 miles). I had to cut it short because of class at 4. On my walk (sprint, really) to class, I snacked on a few grapes. Class was over at 5, and then I was mall-bound.

I only went to my favorite store (Charlotte Russe, haha) and bought a ton of stuff on clearance. Grey dress pants, two black shirts (I need to get away from BLACK!), 2 other shirts, a pair of black high heels and two necklaces. I spent only $60. AWESOME.

On the drive home I ate a delicious apple (which I tried to take a picture of, but it turned out super blurry). I wasn't real hungry when I got home, so I didn't know if I was even going to make anything for dinner. But then Kris mentioned Subway and I immediately got hungry! We split one of the new "Chicken Pizziola" subs. On my half, I got spinach, green peppers, onions, tomatoes and parmesan cheese. Very good.

We brought the subs home to eat. I cut mine in half (takes longer to eat, I swear!) and made a spinach, cucumber & tomato side salad with Fat Free Italian dressing on the side. Now I'm stuffed!

Well, tomorrow is ANOTHER LONG DAY (when aren't they?!) so I better get everything in order and get in bed early to make up for my lack of sleep last night. G'night all!
