what a gorgeous day…

to bad I’ll be stuck inside for most of it.  I am SOOOOO ready for the summer and for my job to be over!

I just registered for orientation at TWU (Texas Woman’s University) on June the 4th!!  That’s the day that I will get to register for my classes and wander around the campus and whatnot- yay!!  I am so excited to get back in school and get my new career started that I literally think I’ll bust!

Breakfast this morning was oats.  My oat jar is empty now and that makes me sad!!  It’s a good thing that oats are so cheap, I need to get some more.

In and on my oats this morning…

  • 1/3 cup oats
  • 1/3 cup almond milk
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/2 banana
  • 1 T walnuts
  • 1 T mymix granola
  • 1 T raspberry white chocolate PB

YUMMMM!!!!   Well, I have to get ready for work now (BOO!)  Adios!

Dinner was stir fry obviously! But we’ll get to that later.  I woke up so late this morning!  I barely had time to get ready- let’s just say it was pony tail day!

I grabbed a quick bar and a coffee before I headed out the door to work.

I like the PURE bars, I really do- they’re very tasty.  BUT they don’t fill me up at all.  I was hungry about an hour later, so I had 1/4 cup of dried fruit and nuts.  That huge bag of this stuff isn’t lasting us nearly as long as I thought it would.  I blame the husband- I think he munches it after I go to bed at night.  He’s such a night owl, I swear he would just stay up all night and sleep all day if he didn’t have a job.  Maybe he’s a vampire!! 😉

Lunch was yummy pasta leftovers from last night (recipe coming soon!) and some straawbries (said in my best English accent).  Like my animal plates?  They’re leftover from a rhythm game I played with my Kinders.  I figured instead of wasting them and throwing them away I should use them!  (Don’t worry, no germy kid hands have touched them)

When I got home I grabbed a mini clif bar (I found these the other day- they are perfect for a pre workout snack.  They are 100 calories!!)  Forgot to take a picture.

Then I hit the gym!  My gym (24 hr fitness) opened up a new location in forty worth, so I thought I would check it out.  It is sooooo nice!  It makes my gym look like it was built in the 1970’s.  I took a spin class and it was great, burned lots o calories!  Man, I loved that gym…it even had the new gym smell.  All of the machines were so shiny and new!  I can’t get over it.  I’m glad my membership includes all of their gyms- I can go to both of them!

Then I headed home and it was time for stir fry!  I wanted to put my giganto bags of veggies to good use!

In the mix…

  • broccoli
  • asparagus
  • carrots
  • orange bell pepper
  • scallions
  • chicken (no pic…I didn’t think anyone wanted to see a pic of raw meat)

I stir fried the meat and veggies (separately) in a little sesame oil (love this stuff- it’s so flavorful!)  Then I added a little garlic, ginger, and tamari(soy sauce).  Voila!

Served with 1/4 cup brown rice.  Yum!

And a brownie for dessert!
