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!!!

It’s Saturday!!!!  I love Saturdays and I love my Saturday routines!  This morning I grabbed a slimfast from the fridge and drank it on the way to the gym.  I did kickboxing and worked arms/shoulders/abs.

After the gym I grabbed a bar real quick to refuel.  Chocolate and PB- two of my very favorite things!

Lunch today was my favorite sandwich from Potbelly Sandwich Works in between errands.

Turkey breast (no cheese) with all veggies and HOT PEPPERS!
a diet IBC root beer  (I cannot have this sandwich without one- it really cools down those hot peppers)

Then it was onto grocery shopping and back home.

After I got home I snacked on these.  Delicious!!

Right now I am making granola(recipe will be posted later).  It just came out of the oven and it smells gooooood!!  See ya at dinner.

Dinner tonight was Andouille red beans and rice and a glass of wine.  It looks a little weird but it was quite tasty!

Then for dessert was some Dryers Slow churned Caramel Delight with 1 Tablespoon of my homemade granola.  Seriously so good I wanted to go back for seconds.  I didn’t though!

Now Justin and I are going to chillax and watch some TV while we play with the puppy!  Good night!!

Another day, another dollar!  lol!  I’m about to start a countdown until the last day, seriously.  There’s so much crap “going down”.   On Monday I let both of my principals know that I wasn’t going to be returning next year (I haven’t oficially sent my resignation to the superintendent yet, but it’s coming as soon as I have enough time to sit down and write it).  One principal just couldn’t say enough about how much I’ve done and wishing me the best of luck, then the other one just said (and I quote) “thanks for letting me know”.  Seriously that’s all she said.  With all of the crap that she has given me over the last couple of years.  What a jerk.  That seriously tells you what kind of a person she is!

Anyway, on to happier matters! 

Food!

For breakfast I had what I like to call the “I woke up late and didn’t have time to make anything yummy” breakfast. 
A slimfast
an apple
and some water

Lunch–

Lunch was…

leftover pizza casserole from last night (even better the second day!!)
an apple
a small piece of banana bread(a recipe from my clean eating cookbook-I’ll post it soon!)
and a coke zero (mmmmm- caffeine!!)

I got a new pair of running shoes this evening- yay!  I can’t wait to break them in!  I think I’m going to go running at Trinity Park tomorrow to get a feel for them.

Here they are…

After we got my running shoes we decided to hit Panera for dinner since we were over on University Dr and we hardly ever get to go there!  Yumm yumm yumm- I love this place!  I made some really good choices today and stayed within my calories! 

I had the pick two combo with…
French Onion soup
Asian sesame chicken salad
a baguette

Whelp, I guess that’s it for today!!  Hope everyone had a great day and tomorrow is Friday- yay!!!
