Busy Time!

So much goes on at the end of the school year, especially if you have a graduating senior. Our house has two graduating seniors. Our third daughter graduated from UMD a few weeks ago and our youngest daughter graduates from high school on Friday night. It seems like there is always an award show, banquet or end of the year ceremony every night!!!! Not to mention all the graduation parties to attend on the weekends. This makes for a jam packed calendar. I think after this week, things are going to settle down around here. There is so much I need to get caught up with around the house, and I hope to get started on that this weekend!!

Someone loves me at Starbucks this morning:)

Breakfast.

Lunch.

Snack around 2pm.

100 calorie pretzels. I had to rush to my neighbors this afternoon. We all thought that she might be going into labor but it was a false alarm. While getting her boys off the bus and listening for their youngest to wake from a nap, I spotted these on their kitchen table. I NEVER buy pretzels. I would plow through these if they were in my house. Proud of myself for counting out a serving size.

Back at my house and I made myself a treat and I knew I was NOT hungry. Why???

 We had an awards show to get to tonight so dinner was super easy.  I made myself an omelet (1 egg/ 2 egg whites) with light cheese and turkey bacon. I also had a thin bagel 110 calories/  little butter. So good!!!

Off to the senior awards show.

The awards show was over 2 hours long!!!! Walked in the door at almost 10pm. I should have just headed up to bed but I grabbed one of these. I never usually eat anything past 7 :(

Terrible Tornado

We have had some crazy bad weather here in MD! Several tornado warnings, heavy rain, power outages, wind and lots of damage in the area. Thankfully, we only had wind and heavy rain but no downed trees or damage. Lets just say, I ran on my treadmill today. It is after 10 pm and it is still pouring. Hopefully, tomorrow the sun will shine and dry everything out. I have my running group in the morning and 2 graduation parties in the late afternoon. Busy busy.

Works for me.

Morning snack. 100 calories kettlecorn.

Ingredients for my lunch. No bad if you measure everything out. Tortilla 50 calories, 1/4 cup pizza sauce 40 calories, turkey pepperoni 70 calories (17 slices), 2% cheese 1/4 cup 80 calories. I also added onion and tomato. I figured I could use 2 tortillas and split the ingredients on each pizza for a total of 290 cal. Not bad!

This is one on a dinner size plate.

Late afternoon snack and I was not even hungry. Must be my theme for the day!

Nervous energy eating!! The storm was bad and I just paced around the house looking outside eating these. I did not measure them out and ate right from the bag!! Why??????

Ate one hard boiled egg just because.

Yep, this was dinner. A frozen pizza. Simple and easy dinner if we ended up losing power. Embarrassed to admit that this was dinner. I added the turkey pepperoni. This is a salad size plate and I had another slice too. Not happy with all of my food choices.

Rest Day

Rest/taper days are hard for me. I have a hard time just taking it easy. I really wanted to work out with my tire in the backyard today but figured I should give my knees a rest. My second half in a week is Sunday and I really want to do well :)

I only had HALF of this bar left and I was totally out of bananas!!

So my breakfast was half a Clif bar and 1 cup Kashi GoLean cereal.

Lunch was PB sandwich on ww, string cheese, triscuits and trail mix.

Afternoon snack.

For dinner I made a huge salad! Heart lettuce, yellow and red pepper, black beans, cucumbers, red onions, tomatoes, and some broccoli. This is a dinner size plate. SO SO good!

I sliced a sweet potato and baked it (so good so easy and I added nothing). We seriously never have RED meat, but these steaks (on the grill) were an amazing price and I knew this would make the hub happy!!!

No workout for me today. Going for an easy run tomorrow, then just take it easy until Sunday. I hope the weather is good. I think it is going to be warm for sure, but I will be happy to run in shorts for a change!!
