Two Outta Three Ain’t Bad

I did not get to the X-ray clinic.  Who knew it would be this tough to find the time?  I did however get groceries and go to the gym this morning. 

I meal planned before I got the groceries since I’m totally determined to keep our grocery bill down even though FH is home now.  There is absolutely no need for us to spend the amount of money we had been spending (and by we I mean me!).  I just need to learn to work with what’s on hand instead of being led astray by unplanned recipes and treats. 

Definitely adding that to the Financial section of my Project Energize goals.

I may not have mentioned the Project too much this last week, but don’t worry it’s still on my mind every day!  It reminds me to eat my veggies, get my run on, take my vitamins, spend my money thoughtfully, and take care of myself. 

I’ll post my updated goals tomorrow.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As for today… my morning workout kicked my metabolism into gear for the day and made me ravenous!

Just two hours after my hearty oatmeal breakfast I was ready for lunch! 

Thawed some Chowdy Doody chicken corn chowder from the freezer…

Served with Terra Beets & Sweets for scooping…

Even after that I was still feeling hungry, so Tammi suggested it might be time for a #waterlogged challenge.  I tweeted it out there and lined up four challengers for 1 litre in 15 minutes.

It totally helped!!

After picking FH up from work, but before heading to the grocery store I snacked on another choco-minty biscuit to keep me out of the treat aisle while shopping.  :)

Dinner tonight was supposed to be turkey burgers, but not surprisingly SuperStore was out of ground turkey so I had to switch our menu plan around and go with perogies for tonight.

No biggie because we loves us some perogies!  I would have planned breaky and lunch a little different had I known though!  Oh well, such is life.  I rounded out my small perogie portion with some steamed broccoli.

Bigger pile of green veggies than carbs = OK by me!

On the agenda this evening: I don’t know!  Tea and TV.  Hard to say because now that FH is home my TV habits will change.  Pretty tough for him to jump in mid-season (not that he would watch The Good Wife or SYTYCD anyway!!)

Night all!

Booooo for Blogger

I don't know if it's Blogger or some unknown setting on my new laptop but adding/formatting photos is being a giant pain in the butt. I was trying to add pics to yesterday's post, but it won't let me move them around. I will try to do an edit with Live Writer instead...but what a pain!!

Zing Zang Zoom

Ha! That was a segment on The View today which was on the TV at the gym. I have no idea what it was about because I actually hate The View and I didn't have the sound hooked up, but I thought the name was funny. I think it had to do with magic or something.

Ziiiiiiing Zannnnng Zooooooooom ;)

So holy moly, where have I been?!! Nutso busy that's where. If I don't post for over 24 hours I'm either deathly ill, on vacation, or actually working my ass off.

A whole lot going on so I will recap with bullets and photos....

• realized I totally didn't post breakfast yesterday, so here it is
• microwaved egg white w/ white cheddar & salsa on 1/2 english muffin
• other 1/2 of muffin w/ pb and honey (helloooo Mr Honeybear!)
• dish of grapes

• ended up working late so made dinner right away (so much for the gym!)
• pork tenderloin that I marinated days ago and froze so I have no idea what the marinade was...something with grainy dijon
• it looks like a poop log on the baking sheet (ewwww, but it does!!)
• with some cubed sweet potatoes, and a big ol' salad
• some Kashi crackers and hummus while I waited

there may have been some pilfering of two Easter cookies from the gift plate (it's not my fault FH got sick and we never saw those friends as planned!)

• I need cookies when I work an extra 4 hours, it's only fair right?

• I slept through my alarm this morning and woke up about 45 minutes later than planned
• had somewhere to be! so slapped together this oddball sammich on my way out the door
• ww baguette toasted with pb, honey & sliced strawberries
• good concept, bad execution...bread was pretty hard
• pink coffee cup theme, first cup guzzled at home, second in the car

• wound up with an hour to kill after my appointments so HIT THE GYM!
• enjoyed this Lemon Larabar so I wouldn't pass out at said gym



Ran for a straight FIFTEEN MINUTES on the treadmill today....personal record...seriously mentally high fiving myself and grinning like a fool.


• would have kept going had I not had to work...stupid work!
• with only 10 minutes to spare when I got home before dreaded Wednesday conference call I whipped up a salad with lots of proteiny-goodness

• call lasted almost 4 hours today...I told you my sales team is trying to kill me
• more Kashi crackers and hummus to tide me over until dinner

• Are you getting bored yet? We are in the home stretch, I promise.
• worked late AGAIN, but thankfully I had to go for a wax so I was saved from the pain by the pain.
• made for a very late dinner...thank God for leftovers.
• roasted up some friggin tasty carrots & zucchini to go with the pork & sweet pots

• then more work and here I am!!
• there may have been an unphotographed choco PB oat bar from the freezer for dessert....deeeeeelish!
• I will have you know I skipped my yoga tonight in order to blog...I know where my priorities lie. :)

This was the most painful post to post!! Blogger will not let me fix those oddball bullets and I have no idea why some of the photos are out of alignment. Gah! Oh well....enjoy!!

Goodnight.
