wow, yesterday was a busy day and lots going on! I have very few pics from yesterday because I accidently left my camera at home on the charger. Oopsie!
I woke up and grabbed a quick bowl of cereal and then headed off to the gym for cardio kickboxing. My favorite instructor was teaching- I heart Tony! He kicks my booty and I burn a ton more calories in his class than in anyone elses.
When I got home I had THREE packages waiting on my doorstep!!! The postman loved me today I guess.
The first thing I ripped open was my mymix granola! I have entered countless blog contests to try to win some of this stuff, but I NEVER win, so I broke down and ordered some. I made a mix for me and I also made a mix for my hubby. In my mix was…
- lowfat granola
- mango
- papaya
- banana chips
- flax seeds
- peanut butter bites
yummmmmmmmmm!!!!!! This stuff is so fresh and delicious! The company even sent me an email to let me know that my mix was sitting on my doorstep waiting to be munched on! I got the email as I was leaving the gym so I was really excited on the drive home. Yup, I’m a dork. Excited about granola.
The next package I ripped into was a goodie basket from Lauren. This was full of goodies from Trader Joe’s. We don’t have any of them round these parts so I was really really excited to get this! Look at all of these goodies!!!!
And a sweet note!
I tried a bite or two of everything I think, but didn’t take a picture of everything. The first thing I busted into was the dark chocolate edamame. Yummmm! The edamame was crunchy, and the dark chocolate was nice and bittersweet. It was fantastic!
I’ll post more pictures of the individual stuff as I go along.
Then I opened my package from Fresh Market with my barney butter and spring blend coffee. I had to break down and get some of this because I kept seeing it on Kath’s blog and I cannot resist trying a new coffee. It did NOT disappoint! It is so rich with a beautiful hint of toffee. YUM!
Then I grabbed a couple of ounces of my granola mix in a ziplock for the road and headed out to the “Ville” to get manis and pedis with my mom and my sis-in-law. It was pretty fun. And I can’t help but giggle at my mom getting a flower painted on her toes and my dad actually noticing it! hehe.
toes…
Like my TSU flipflops? Go TEXANS!!!!
Then mom, dad, brother, sis-in-law, hubby and I went to Hard Eight for some awesome BBQ! Seriously the best BBQ I’ve ever had. I had some smoked chicken, a baked potato, beans (holy yumm, they have fantastic beans, so spicy!), and a couple of bites of banana pudding. It was a fun evening, we talked about food and exercise a lot. Brother and sis-in-law are training for a half Iron Man. What a bunch of crazys they are! And I’m going to do a 34 mile bike ride in Dublin (TX, not Ireland, lol) in June. I can’t wait to start training for it. As soon as the weather clears up I’m hitting the bike trail!
I guess that’s about it from yesterday!
Yay for getting your TJs goodies!
