officially the weekend!

yipee!! 27 more days till I get to leave my job!

Today I forgot my lunch. I was sad. But I will say that I am lucky that I carry an “emergency” bar in my purse! (I get like 15 mins for lunch, so no time to go anywhere and they serve some serious crap in the cafeteria. I’d rather starve than eat that!)

So, lunch was a chocolate peppermint stick Luna Bar.

When I left work I was so hungry that I literally felt sick to my stomach! So before I even left town I had to stop at subway and grab a quick sandwich. Turkey on wheat, all veggies, spicy mustard. No pic because I downed that sucker within two minutes of getting in the car! Then when I got home I had a chobani.

while I was working on dinner I snacked on some flatbread crisps with some Boursin cheese.

Dinner was leftover shredded BBQ chicken sandwiches, corn on the cob, and a salad with some light 1000 island.

Well, I gotta hit the hay early. I have to get up super early because I’m doing the zoo run tomorrow morning. I hope it doesn’t rain, I’m not hardcore enough to do a 5K in the rain, LOL.

Night folks!

good morning!

It’s Friday- Hallelujah!! Can’t wait for the weekend to start!

I got up early enough to post about breakfast this morning, yay.

I had a lovely bowl of oatmeal this morning.

That’s all for now- see you after work!!

trail running is tough!

For reals!! Gosh, I could barely go two miles. Hubby and I went to trinity trails and ran the looped trail. There were parts of the trail that were just plain dirt and rocks. It was a tough run, but I feel soooo good!! Right after this I’m going to go foam roll- can’t wait!

Today for breakfast I some optimum slim with a little skim milk and a banana. Also, a piece of GH honey wheat bread with a little cinn raisin PB(I only ate about half of that). Oh and don’t forget the coffee!!

Then it was off to work I went! The kids were nutso again today. I have the sneaking suspision that it’s only going to go downhill until the last day of school. *sigh*

For lunch…

Amy’s Creamy Tomato Soup (soooo good!!)
about a cup of strawberries
a Luna bar cause I was craving something chocolaty (not pictured)

Then after school I talked the hubby into going running with me. The first time that he has even though I ask him all the time! Before that I had half a sammy on WW bread with roasted chicken, lettuce, cuc, and kerrygold cheese-1/2 oz. Sorry, I really thought that I had taken a picture!!

Then after our run we went to Panera since we were right over there by it and I got a Fuji Chicken salad. It was really really good! We just chilled and chatted. We haven’t gotten to do that in a long time- it was great!

good stuff!

That brings us up to date. As soon as I say goodbye I’m gonna hit the foam roller, read a little Twilight, then hit the sack!

Oh, I almost forgot! I know I don’t get much traffic, if any at all. For all I know I’m the only one who reads this, lol. Anyhoo…

Erin over at I walk in this world is holding a kickarse auction to raise money for cancer research. Everyone should check it out. I mean, is there anyone whose life hasn’t been affected by cancer in some way? I haven’t yet decided if I’m going to donate something or maybe just buy something. I’m not feeling super creative right now, so who knows!

This is starting to get long so I think I’m going to say adios for the evening. I will soon be posting a career update. I just need to do a little more praying before I say what I’m going onto next in my life.

Until breakfast…

Dinner time!

So I ended up running three miles tonight, but I didn’t end up doing any ab stuff. I’m pretty good with the three miles though!!

After the run I grabbed the blender and made a little smoothie with my protein powder. It coulda used a little fruit. I’ll remember that next time. We for real need a new blender, this one doesn’t do ANYthing with the ice any more!
Can anyone recommend one??

Here is the protein powder I use. BSM Lean Dessert. It’s tasty.

for dinner I threw together a little pasta dish. I did whole wheat penne, 1/2 cup organic pasta sauce, 1/2 ounce each of asiago and mozzarella. Then put it under the broiler in my cute lil fiesta casserole dishes and there ya go! Then I toasted up some of my GH Tuscan Tomato and Herb bread that I got last weekend, threw a salad on the table and there was dinner!
