Fab Friday!

Before I get any further, Erin has a giveaway going on over at her blog, so get thee over there and check it out ASAP! It’s www.walkinthisworld.com

After I got to school, the usual crazyness ensued.  The kids are aweful this time of year.  TAKS test plus school ending soon = crazy kids!  I’m not even joking.  So I managed to survive the day without losing it and on to the food!

A few hours after I got to work I got hungry so I had a Luna Bar.  This one was not my favorite, but it was pretty good.

Not too much longer and it was lunchtime!  Which also meant the day was halfway over- yay!!

Lunch was:

-Some leftover mac and cheese from last night
-Fresh mixed fruit
-carrots (which I didn’t actually eat because they were kindof dried out and funny tasting)

Then I gave some recorder tests to 5th grade, played some instrument BINGO with 3rd and 4th and it’s 3:15 and my last class is over!

Fast forward 45 minutes and I am at home enjoying an apple and some chocolate chip cookie dough peanut butter!

This was about 30 mins ago and I’m still hungry.  I’m going to go grab another snack.  I don’t know what it is about apples but every time I eat one it makes me SO HUNGRY!  No joke!

I’m also trying to decide if I’m going to work out or not.  My tummy is a little weird feeling so I’m not sure yet.  We’ll see.

theme mayhem!

okay, I’m going back to my original theme. The other one was cutting off my pictures- boo! Isn’t it silly that I’m so up in arms over a theme?!

up and at em!

I got up early this morning because I feel like I never have enough time to get anything done in the morning.  It feels great to be able to post here in the morning!!  I think I’m going to start getting up this early from now on!

For breakfast this morning-

– Organic instant oatmeal
– 1 T granola
– 1 T white chocolate raspberry PB (amazing!!)
– coffee

Well, I gues I better finish getting ready for work. It’s FRIDAY!!!!

PB Thursday!

Well, I can’t decide on a theme that I like.  I don’t like any of them and I wish that I knew how to make my own, but alas, I do not.  I might stick with this one for a while- I like the green and I like how simple it is.  And I like that it has a custom header- I just have to make something suitable to go in it.  It might take a while though, lol.

This is going to be a long post about my day so grab some popcorn and settle in!

I woke up waaay late this morning (my alarm went off for an hour before I realized it was going off!)  Just had enough time to grab a bowl of cereal.

Cereal of choice:

-Optimum Slim
-1 T dried cranberries
-cup of coffee

Then it was off to the races!  I grabbed a quick Luna Bar between changing classes.  Smores.  Not so great- won’t be buying that one again!

Nothing really good happened between then and lunch, so I’ll go straight into lunch.

Lunch:

-pasta salad (1 cup)
-fresh mixed fruit
-baby carrots and sweet yellow tomatoes

After school I was starvin like marvin (what does that mean, anyway?!  Must google.)

So I had a Larabar.  This was the first one that I have ever had and it was fantastic!!  LOVE!  I got a few more, so I can’t wait to try them as well.

Then the REAL fun begins!!!

I ordered some peanut butter from PB Loco and it came in today!!  I got a three pack- chocolate chip cookie dough, Sumatra cinnamon and raisin, and raspberry white chocolate.  Then we (hubby and I) decided to have a tasting.  That’s right people, some do wine tastings and we do peanut butter tastings. 😉

So I took a couple of these awesome mini pitas that I found at the grocery store (aren’t they so cute?!)

and put a little PB on each.

We tried each, taking a sip of water between to “cleanse the palate”.  We both came up with a winner and we actually agreed(surprising- that seriously never happens!).  Here were our favs…

Me-

1. Chocolate chip cookie dough
2. Raspberry white chocolate
3. Cinnamon and raisin

Justin-

This was fun and I can’t wait to eat more PB!!!

Dinner was some clean eating mac and cheese.  Turned out quite tasty!!!  (I actually forgot to take a picture it looked so good, so I had to take the pic when I was almost done.  oops!)

Today was rest day- no workout for me.  I burned plenty of calories chasing the puppy around- she’s into EVERYTHING!!  I guess that’s about it for tonight- catch you on the flip side!!!
