my laptop is about to die

Seriously, it is falling apart. Literally, coming apart at the hinge. I don’t know how long it will be until it just completely falls apart, so I need to back up all of my stuff. There’s a ton of stuff on my computer, so I don’t really know where to start! I’ll probably start with my music, then pictures, then any other files. This is a good time to delete a lot of stuff that I don’t really need any more as well. Grrrrr, when it rains it pours!

I’m out of school again today (thanks swine flu). I went to bed kindof late last night, so I slept until 8:30 this morning. That’s sooooo late for me. When I got up my tummy was ready for breakfast. I picked up some new cereals from Whole Foods yesterday. I had a coupon for Nature’s Path, so I put it to good use. This morning I had 1/2 cup of each of these…

These are so so so good! And it kept me full for a really long time. I’m so glad I decided to try these out!

Look, it actually has pumpkin seeds in it!

I also had a cup of coffee.

Which I enjoyed sipping while I read my new book.

About an hour later I had my “greens” for the morning. Mixed with OJ. (still not brave enough to try it with water)

For Lunch I’m having a chicken caesar salad (a lightened up version, of course).

in my salad…
lettuce
2 T light Caesar dressing
1 t parmesan cheese
4 ounces chicken breast
a couple of whole wheat croutons

And 1/2 cup each of strawberries and blackberries

And now I’m still sitting and waiting on the car insurance dude to get here. Sometime between 9-3. Which I bet he doesn’t show up at all and I’ll have sat around all day waiting for him.

See ya at dinner!!!

a good day

well, in spite of the whole swine flu crazyness that’s going around TX I had a really great day! I didn’t have school (nor will I tomorrow).

When I got up I had some wheat grass mixed with OJ. Then I hopped on the treadmill for a jog.

After that I had a protein shake with some greens while I made breakfast.

Breakfast was an English muffin with egg whites, spinach, and a tasty sheeps milk cheese that I picked up at Whole Foods.

yumm!

Then I spent a while on the phone with my car insurance peeps since that idiot lady backed into me. What a mess!

I was feeling salad-y for lunch today so I made a giganto salad.

On my salad…
lettuce, yellow bell pepper, broccoli, tomatoes, goat cheese, light greek vinaigrette, a couple of croutons, and a piece of Boca chick’n

mmmmm, goat cheese. This vinaigrette is amazing and it has 50 calories!

I had a Chobani with my salad.

Then I did some grocery shopping! I headed to Whole Foods with a few coupons in hand…

On my way home from the grocery store I munched on a date (holy cow, these things are AWESOME!)

Then it was off to the gym, with a luna bar and a coconut water in hand!

At the gym I had two sessions with my trainer. Today was killer! We worked every single muscle in my upper body, gah!

Then it was home for dinner!

Hubby and I made spaghetti for dinner. Whole wheat spaghetti with 1/2 cup organic spaghetti sauce.

And a big salad with Annie’s light Honey Mustard.

And a piece of GH Tuscan tomato and herb bread with a little I can’t believe it’s not butter.
Dinner…

I also enjoyed a lovely POM spritzer. My new favorite thing!

And then the best part of all…. DESSERT!

Purely Decadent ice cream made with coconut milk.

dscf1704

Oh.My.Gosh.

Best ice cream ever!!

I sprinkled a little coconut on top of mine!

I have yet to find a product of theirs that I don’t like- no joke! I can’t wait to try more of them, although it will have to be a little at a time, they’re stuff is a teeny bit pricey.

Well, I guess that’s all for this evening. Night!!
