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.

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!!

dinner time!

Went and looked around at Barnes and Noble before my workout and I had a nice warm mocha. I just sat and read and drank my lovely coffee drink. It was fab!!

I got a couple of books- one was a book on superfoods, and the other was wordpress for dummies, lol. And I feel like one whilst I am trying to switch over to self hosting. It’s so confusing!

After that I went over to the gym and had a workout with my trainer- legs today. It was a great workout- I was super sweaty! And I also feel muuuuch better!

After I got home we made some dinner. Tonight’s dinner was Amy’s Texas burgers on an English muffin with some lettuce, pickles, onions, and mustard. Served with some organic steak fries from WF. It hit the spot!

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

crazy-ness!

So they canceled school for the rest of the week. Supposedly we will be able to go back on monday. Who knows though. Well, it looks like I will be on vacay for the next few days, lol.

Today for lunch I took some whole wheat tortillas, smeared them with some black bean dip, then added a few toppings.

Toppings include…
lettuce
avocado
yellow bell pepper slices
tomato
a teeny tiny drizzle of light ranch dressing

sooooo yum!!!

And a mango!

When I got home from our school day cut short, I was feeling very munchy. I think it’s just because I have a lot of stress/tension right now. I’m a bit anxious about the future, since they’re reviewing my application right now for the program I want to get into. I just don’t feel like me right now. I just feel like a big bundle of nerves!! This weather is awful too- I think I need some window shopping to perk me up. And maybe a nice cup of coffee!

anyhoo- I munched on some cheetos when I got home 🙁

then I had a banana with some choco chip PB.

dscf1682

I think I’m going to get out of the house for a bit- I feel like I’m going to go nuts!

changes coming soon!

I might not be able to post a lot over the next few days- I’m changing website hosts, so it could take 3-5 days for the transfer to happen. This blog may or may not be available during that time period. I’ll keep posting if I can, so who knows what will happen! LOL. BUT it will be worth it in the end because I will be able to make the blog better and I’ve also already got a sponsor or two lined up. YAY!

I accidentally deleted my breakfast picture from my camera, but I had a small bowl of PB Puffins and a cup of joe. I wanted something small because I’m probably going to have an early lunch today.

Not much new going on here other than trying to get something done about the stupid person that smushed my pretty little car. Also, there are only 20 days of school left!!!

Oh, and the high school in the town that I teach in is shut down for the swine flu- can you believe it?! We’re not closed down (although I think we probably should be because so many of our kids have big brothers and sisters at the high school and have possibly been exposed to it). But they won’t close us down because of the TAKS. The school definitely cares more about the TAKS than the kids health, and that’s not a joke. Anyhoo, we’ll see what happens with that.

See you at lunch!!

Oh and Clarissa… If I don’t hear from you by tonight, then I’m going to have to pick a new winner for the gift card. sarah_rhenea@sbcglobal.net

And the winner is…

The winner of the gift card to whole foods is…

Clarissa!!!

Shoot me an email at sarah_rhenea@sbcglobal.net with your info and I’ll get that gift card to you so you can get shopping!!

Sorry no post today- I’m a sucky blogger, I know. I just don’t feel much like it. I got hit in the gym parking lot by a lady with no drivers license or insurance. She caused several thousand dollars in damage and there’s a big chance that she’ll get off scott free. I’m going to be making some calls tomorrow to see about filing a civil suit. Its so unfair that she might get away with this- it makes me so so mad.

I will say, however, that I had a very large glass of wine with dinner.

I’ll catch up with my blogging tomorrow- promise!
