Sunflowers and blueberries

Last night's dinner was our favorite Irish Bangers from Whole Foods with grilled sweet potato and baked beans.

So yummy and British! Getting ready to go to the inlaws this weekend:)

After dinner I did one of my favorite Exercise TV workouts Bootcamp Calorie Burn. Love the intensity of this workout. Then Hubby and I started work on the DVR that is getting pretty full.

This morning I had another Green Monster with my sunflowers.

Today's Blend
1/2 frozen banana
2 handfuls of spinach
2 handfuls of blueberries
1 cup soy milk

This was ok I think it would have been better colder...but it still was a good breakfast.

I have a staff meeting for most of the day so may or may not be back with more food later:)

Sunlight and Sunflowers

I am so happy to be back to short weeks again, and to be headed to the in-laws in a few days! Breakfast this morning was off to a healthy start. Green monster with coffee by the flowers.

The sunflowers came from my tree that need to be cut down a bit. It was a good project to do last night after the storm with no power.

Green monster:
1/2 frozen banana
5 melon balls
5 cantaloupe balls
2 handfuls spinach
1 cup soy milk

Blend and enjoy.

I had packed my lunch but when the girls in the office mentioned Peace a Pizza I was in.

One slice of Mediterranean Salad I was proud of myself, eaten with a fork and knife to take my time it was just enough.

And maybe a little fudge that was in my packed lunch! Hopefully a quiet night at home tonight....any plans for the week?

Ending the weekend on a dark note!

I typed this post from my phones because although I got my new laptop set up, I have no internet without power and our power has been out since an afternoon thunderstorm.

So let's do a food recap from the weekend, Saturday morning I made french toast bites with leftover beer bread. Just dip in soy milk and cinnamon and brown up. Topped with blue berries it was perfect.

While the puppy was getting a haircut, I got some sun/caught up on some magazines and got in a great Exercise TV workout.

Lunch was simple with some veggies and Food Should Taste Good chips.The bean came from my aunts garden and she had just steamed then with a little salt before sending them to me.

The afternoon was spent getting this baby all set up.

I love my new laptop and although totally not needed I will so enjoy it!

For dinner we actually went to my parents because they need help with a few projects, and got homemade pasta sauce gravy and meatballs!

Love my mom's sauce, with a little salad and wine so perfect!

After a walk with the puppy this bowl might have made it into my belly.

Sunday morning I was craving eggs. So hubby and I had pouched eggs on toast with a little cheese and hot sauce. Also a Morningstar Farm patty made it on my plate.

The morning held more time in the sun and some Slimdown yoga before we headed out for some errands. We ended up at Costco and I was not really hungry but did call this my lunch:

Yeah I know...

Once the power went out I spent some time with my Borders e-reader on the laptop and was enjoying this book















Full review later.

Since we did not want to open the fridge dinner was a Subway Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki sandwich and Popchips.

I have not had one of these in so long, it was awesome. We spent the night just hanging out with no power...

Finally some time off

So glad to have the weekend here. I have been working for 12 days straight and am just happy to have time off starting this afternoon. Although I have been very productive at work this morning which is always a great feeling.

Dinner last night was quick because Hubby and I planned on a 365 Value Tour at Whole Foods (the woman had left early so our tour did not happen -insert sad face here ). Back to dinner...I made a quick cucumber salad for us.

Ingredients ready to go. We peeled this 2 cucumbers then sliced them and chopped 1/4 of the onion. Added some salt to drain in a colander. Then mixed the white vinegar 1 TBSP with 1 tsp of sugar and some fresh chives and it was set to go. t

On the side of a Barber Chicken Stuffer it was perfect.

Since we were out and not at Whole Foods, we decided to do some research for a project that Hubby is working on with his amazing wood projects and check out the laptop I wanted. (And yes I know that this laptop is pretty simple but since I just want it for going online and taking with us when we travel it is actually perfect and a great price.) Well after seeing it and liking it Hubby and I left Best Buy with it! The website said our store did not have it but when they did Hubby said to use my birthday money and I could not be happier! Can't wait to play with it this weekend!!!

We got home later then I planned so I gave myself yesterday off or working out but will be all over it when I get home today!

Breakfast was Chobani raspberry and Cheerios with a make at home Vanilla Latte. This was Tassimo Cappuccino and Vanilla Syrup

Lunch was easy as well

Almond butter sandwich again because it was so yummy, an apple, rest of last night's cucumber salad, and a chocolate covered mint cookie. Love my chocolate creations.

Time to head out to clean the house and get that workout in before heading out to dinner with the 'rents!


Any fun weekend plans? Mine are to get organized around the house!

Happy Thursday

I am glad it is Thursday even if I am working Friday this week (I have a lot to do so I am actually happy about it).

Last's night dinner was a freezer meal Shepard's Pie. Shown here in His and Her's sizes. Hubby and I generally eat the same thing, his is normally just much bigger!

I did a Total Body Slimdown, then had some fudge as we relaxed and caught up on some DVR'd shows.

For some reason I was craving cereal this morning. Luckily I had a box of Special K Blueberry in the basement. With a side of Earl Grey and soy milk so yummy!

Lunch today was the chance to use my almond butter (show here).

Just roasted almonds processed until the butter forms, so easy!

In sandwich form with an apple, and some caramel popcorn. I am sure there will be another snack later today.

Something fun planned for tonight but I will tell you more tomorrow...and I think I will be getting a laptop this weekend with my birthday money! So excited:)
