It’s only Tuesday? It feels like it should be Friday already! It’s not raining, but this morning I woke up with a song from “Singing in the Rain” stuck in my head, you know the good morning song. It’s still stuck by the way. I love that movie- one of my all time favorites! I think part of the reason I like it so much is because of Gene Kelly *swoon* (and yes, I realize that he hasn’t been alive for quite some time now).

This blogging thing is so much fun, but I’m still trying to figure out how to make it better. And also, like 3 people see this. I’m wondering how to get it “out there”? I feel like I am putting SO much work into something that only I look at, lol. Oh well.

What’s on the menu today?

Breakfast was kind of boring today, I was in a hurry-
1 C Organic Honey toasted O’s
a few berries
1 T granola
A cuppa joe

Morning snack-
Well, I hesitate to call this a “snack” persay, but it still filled my tummy and was pretty delish! I lurve me some chocolate milk!

Horizon Organic Reduced fat chocolate milk

Lunch- I was feeling hodge podgey when I made my lunch this morning, LOL
½ cup lowfat cottage cheese
About a cup of mixed fruit
Applesauce pumpkin muffin
An ounce and a half of my wonderful food should taste good chips

After school I went to the gym and had a kick but workout!  After my workout I had a Clif bar to refuel.  I love those things, but they are kinda high calorie.  I’ve yet to find anything else that meets what I need after a workout though, so I will be sticking with those and “spending” the calories. Plus they’re organic and I really like that!

mmmmm- dark cherry almond! (sorry, I thought I took a pic, but I can’t seem to find it!)

For dinner I was craving a salad (I know, weird right?!)  So I stopped at Central Market on the way home from the gym and hit the salad bar.  On my salad:

Lettuce, spinach, bell pepper, mushrooms, peperoncini, olives, broccoli, cauliflower, blue cheese(LOVE), grilled chicken, carrots, cabbage, and topped off with a few tablespoons of Roasted red pepper vinaigrette.  Heaven!

Also I may or may not have had a scoop of ice cream.  Not pictured- I gobbled it down too fast!

I think next week I’m going to play around with my calorie intake a little, I think I need a little more of a deficit.  Allthough I really don’t know, I haven’t stepped on a scale in a while- I’m too skerd!

Anyway, it’s past my bedtime.  And if there is anyone that actually reads this- thank you!!  It makes me feel worthwile!

It’s Monday, the beginning of another week.  One week closer to Summer!!  Today was a pretty boring day at work today.  Nothing really happened.

I decided to make some oatmeal for breakfast this morning.  I haven’t had any in a while and it was time to reaquaint myself with the glory of its oaty-ness!

Into my oatmeal went:

-1/2 banana
-1 T granola
-1 T natural peanut butter

For a mid-morning snack I had a applesauce pumpkin muffin, the other half of my banana from breakfast, and some water from my sweet water bottle.  Isn’t my desk pretty? LOL

For lunch I had some leftover andouille red beans and rice
some mixed fruit
and yes!!  I had a piece of cake.  Unfortunately it was just okay and I shouldn’t have eaten it.  I had to get on the treadmill when I got home to work it off.  Lesson learned!!

Here’s my lunch on my funny zoo-animal plate!!  (it was left over from a rhythm activity I did with my Kinders, so if figured it should get used.

On the way home from school I snacked on some baby carrots and a few sweet yellow tomatoes- mmmm!

Then on the way to Kickboxing I had a Luna Bar (I love kickboxing AND Luna bars!!!)

Then when I got home from kickboxing I was hungry again so I had some lowfat cottage cheese with a sprinkle of granola(will not be doing that again- granola is GROSS on cottage cheese!!)

Then I started working on dinner!  We had taco soup!  I had mine with:

-1/2 oz sharp cheddar
– 1 /2 oz crushed baked tostitos
-1 T lowfat sour cream
– a couple of jalapenos

and a diet cherry Dr. Pepper!  I try not to drink much soda, but this is one that I have a hard time resisting- it’s wonderful!!!

Well, I guess that’s it for tonight!!  Toodles!!

Justin and I went out to Red Lobster tonight for dinner since we worked really hard to clean the house.  I wasn’t super impressed.   I mean the biscuits were good, of COURSE, but everything else was just okay.  The broccoli was overcooked and our baked potatoes didn’t come out until after we were done with the rest of our food.

I had:

Grilled Mahi Mahi
broccoli
baked potato w/ 1 tsp of butter (not pictured)
salad with red wine vinaigrette (not pictured)
2 cheddar biscuits (I went a bit overboard here, I really should have had just one but I couldn’t resist!) (also not pictured, but I promise I didn’t have any more than 2!)

On the way home we stopped at Starbucks and I got a tall Cafe Mocha (non-fat, no whip of course!!)

I thought Sunday’s were supposed to be a day of rest?  And what have we been doing all day- cleaning inside and out.  Justin is doing all the outside lawn work and I’m working inside today.  I didn’t realize how messy the house had gotten until we decided to spend the day cleaning. yikes!  I’m wondering where the day went because it’s already after 3:00!

For breakfast this morning I made some applesauce pumpkin muffins from my Clean Eating Cookbook.  They turned out really great!!  I’ll post the recipe later.

I had that with a banana and a cup of coffee from my lovely Keurig!

Then onto the cleaning of the house!!  I took a little break for a quick snack and had a cookies and cream Luna bar- it was fantastic! I will definitely be getting some more of those!

Then back to more cleaning and by now the laundry had been started.  Then we took another break for lunch…

For lunch we had:

All natural chicken lunchmeat on whole wheat bread with a slice of Kerrygold cheese- mmmmm, I love that stuff!!
1 oz of Food Should Taste Good Buffalo chips
a big ole scoop of fresh mixed fruit!

Well, I better get back to cleaning.  See you for dinner!!!
