Goooood morning!!

I’m having a great morning round these parts. Just chilling at the casa on a breautiful Wednesday morning! I had a lot of trouble sleeping last night (definitely no more energy drinks for me). So I slept in a bit to let my body get some rest.

When I got up I was really craving oatmeal. So I made hubby and I some good ole oats this morning.

Breakfast-


In the oats-
1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 banana
toppings-
1 T wheat berries
1 T unsweetened coconut
1 T walnuts
1 T chocolate chips
packet of Barney Butter

Holey moley these were good. Really really filling too. My tummy is very happy!

Close up…

Well, I think I’m going to hop on the treadmill for some sprints and then I might get out my bike and go for a ride!

See you for lunch!

Howdy folks!

What a looooong day! And still so far from Friday, sigh.

For breakfast this morning I decided to have a protein shake. Not sure why, I just wasn’t feeling anything else this morn. I had a BSN chocolate lean dessert powder w/ 1 cup milk, 1/2 banana, 3 T unsweetened coconut, and some more “greens”.





Again, the amazing grass did nothing for me. No pep, I was soooo sleepy today. This was my last sample of it, so I definitely won’t be buying any more. I can’t wait for my green vibrance to come in!!

Lunch…


I had some green chile hummus ( a couple of Tablespoons)
Kashi 7 grain crackers
chobani w/ kashi go lean crunch
pixie tangerine

This definitely was NOT enough food! I was STARVING at the end of school, so as soon as I got home I made a sandwich.



Ham on wheat bread with mustard
food should taste good buffalo chips

That definitely hit the spot!

Then I hopped on the treadmill and ran two miles. I did some speed work today- I’m trying to speed up my mile.

For dinner we had FISH TACOS! yumm yumm yumm!

Grilled Mahi Mahi
Corn tortillas
Avocado
Blue Cheese slaw (got the recipe from bites + bowls)

The tacos (fish + cabbage + a slice of avocado, and one of them had a tiny sprinkle of cheese)


The “slaw” (so so so good!)

Whelp, I guess that’s about it for today. Just gonna hang out on the couch with hubby and watch a little TV. Nighty night!!!

Not me, LOL. This lady in my kickboxing class. She’s got to be in her mid 80’s at least. She has fire red hair, wears a beret and full makeup to class. She.cracks.me.up. She’s not to bad at kickboxing either!! Love her!

Anyway, before I went into the gym I had a small handful of dried fruit.

When I got home from the gym I made a little spritzer with POM/sparkling water. yum!



We had breakfast for dinner tonight- yumm! Look at this nifty little spoon holder thingy I picked up at World Market!



Dinner…



On my little breakfast sammy…
Whole wheat english muffin
morningstar farms sausage patty (2)
2 eggs scrambled with bell peppers, onions, and spinach
pepperjack cheese
a little boursin cheese(I forgot that I put the pepperjack on there, lol)

It was tasty but I’m still a little hungry. I need another snack I think, but I’m not sure what…

Before I talk about my day let’s start with my free samples! I got a couple of samples of Barney Butter in the mail today so I busted it out as soon as I got in the house.



I lost no time slathering it on a banana and chowing down. This stuff is fantastic!!! I now want to buy some, but I have three jars of PB in my cabinet right now, so I think I shall wait. It’s great- the last time I had almond butter I hated it, it had too many chunks in it, and I like my PB smooth and creamy. This seriously hit the spot!

Now, onto other matters…

Today before breakfast, I tried another “green” drink. This time I tried the amazing grass version. Yick, it was nas-tay. I started gagging toward the end of the drink and my stomach has felt funny all day. I won’t be getting any more of that (well, except for their wheat grass, that was amazing!). I think I shall stick with the green vibrance, which also happens to be what the lady at whole foods rec commended over the amazing grass. I should have listened to her!



This stuff did nothing for me at all.

After that all I really wanted was some cereal, so I made a bowl of PB Puffins(love).

Then I headed off to work, which sucked! 26 more days. 26 more days.

Mid-morning I knew I needed to eat something cause my tummy was feeling weird again. So I had a blueberry Clif Z bar. Tasty!

Lunch was a giganto salad with light ranch and blue cheese. Also 1/2 cup cottage cheese w/ some fresh mango (fab!!)



A few hours later I had a Larabar. Key lime pie- it was really good!!

And that brings us up to date! It’s almost time for kickboxing, so I’ll see you at dinner!

🙁

Tonight for dinner we made some pizzas out of whole wheat Naan and whatever else we felt like throwing on them.

I also had a brownie. At the last minute I decided to throw a little cool whip on top.

I didn’t count my calories today. No reason why, just didn’t feel like it. I think I ate a little too much though, cause my tummy doesn’t like me right now.

Till tomorrow…..
