I’m exhausted!! I took a Turbo Kickboxing Class tonight and it was awesome, but it wore me out!! I burned around 600 calories! I’m about to go to bed, but I haven’t had a chance to post my dinner menu yet. I also started a new cleaning routine around the house and I’m trying to get used to it, but right now it’s a little time consuming. I’m so not a neat freak (although I really wish I was) so I now have a daily cleaning checklist to keep the house a little more tidy. It was seriously getting really bad. Anywho, here’s what was for dinner tonight:
Oven fried chicken
mashed potatoes (from scratch, that’s right!)
green beans
whole wheat bread w/ a little I can’t believe it’s not butter
I was feeling kinda old school at dinner tonight, lol.
Oh yeah, don’t forget the wine! A great glass of Chardonnay! mmmmm!!
OK, that’s all I got. I’m sleepy. Night!!
Lunchtime!

mmmm- lunch! Today I made some Pasta Salad from my clean eating cookbook. It was really good! I added a little leftover grilled chicken that I had in the freezer and it was perfect!
And then I went to work. The kids were crazy today- I was glad when the clock hit 3:30!!! And now here I am back at the house and I was hungry so I grabbed:
1/2 cup of lowfat cottage cheese
1 tsp strawberry allfruit
Tasty!! I’m headed out to turbo kickboxing here in a little bit, so I’ll catch you at dinner time!!!
Hump day (hehehe)

Ahhh, Wednesday! You are my favorite day of the week!! It’s the easiest day of the week at work and it’s closer to Saturday than yesterday!
Most of my morning consisted of playing with the pup. She’s finally napping now so I have a quiet moment to post! Here are some pics of our new cutie! (unfortunately our other dog, Anabelle, is way camera shy so she won’t be in the pics even though she was part of playtime)
Mommy, can I pleeeease get up on the couch?!
Look at me, I’m cute!!
Breakfast was some new cereal that I got (Optimum Slim) and it’s delish!! Also 1/2 of a banana and a cup of coffee.
