Weigh In & Highlites!

I was happy to see this number today!!

Clif and banana for breakfast.

Kashi Cookie.

PB sandwich on ww, almonds and cheese for lunch.

Woohoo. Appointment at 3 today for highlites and a cut!!

Sitting under the dryer, eating a KIND bar.

Happy with the color:)

Munched on grapes and strawberries while we got dinner ready.

Salad was excellent!! Fresh veggies from my garden. 

Chicken baked with honey dijon mustard and sliced almonds, sliced sweet potato, couscous and a slice of french bread. Dinner was yummy thanks to daughter #3. 

After dinner was all cleaned up and my food settled, I changed into my running clothes and headed outside. I did a good 4 miler. I realize now that I run so much better in the morning. This is something I really have to work on. Morning runs.

Enjoyed two sugar free pops when I got back.

Well, I am showered and nails are painted. Once they are dry enough, I am headed to bed!! Today, was a busy, awesome, fun, beautiful day:)

 

Took a Break

Hi guys! Sorry it has been a few days since my last post. I think everything caught up with me and I felt like things were getting out of control around here. Sounds crazy I know, but I function better when things are in order. So, I spent a few hours on Wednesday doing stuff around the house. Then I got on a roll the past few days and my blogging got behind. Never enough time!!

Changed up some of my decorations. Love this from Pottery Barn. I bought this several years ago on clearance and I have loved it ever since. I had faux diamonds in here with the candle, but I changed it to some faux sand and pretty rocks.

I placed this above my kitchen sink. Bought some sand dollars at the beach.

These were on the kitchen table but I moved them to the tv table. I bought these at West Elm. Love the color. Again, another clearance find! I just ordered some photos to change up some of my framed family pictures. I love the silver thin frames from PB. They are the perfect size.

Breakfast.

Went to Starbucks around 11 for a tea, and came back with these awesome cookies! They were so good but 140 calories each!! I was then not hungry for lunch.

Around 2pm, I was finally hungry. Instead of lunch I just grabbed a Zone Bar. I knew that tonight was "date night" with the hub, so I was trying to save my calories. We love a little place called The Cork. I also knew exactly what I wanted!!

We started with the fresh hummus. So so good!!

Dinner was a veggie pizza. Excellent!! Plus, it you can manage to get there before 5pm the hummus and the pizza were half off!! I am such a cheap date:)

After dinner, we headed to a frozen yogurt shop that I have been wanting to try. We tried to visit on July 4th but they were closed. It is called Lexie's. There were several flavors of yogurt, but I went for the vanilla.

I passed on the candy toppings.

Instead, I went for the fresh fruit (strawberries)
 and some chocolate syrup.

Then they weigh you! lol
We both thought it was good, but pricey!! Wow, it was almost $10 for the two of us!!
Can you imagine if we really went crazy with the toppings??

Tomorrow, I am back with my running group. We are meeting early because of the heat and looks like 6-7 miles is on the agenda. So I have my Garmin charging and got my water belt out!! Excited to see everyone. It has been a few weeks since we were away on vacation.

Happy Friday!!

Back to Work

So hard returning to work after a vacation!! Especially, when it is the end of the month, and everything needs to be closed out. Back to my routine and sometimes that's not so bad.

Back to my usual breakfast. Clif and a banana.

1/4 cup trail mix for a snack.

Lunch was pretty boring. Just a PB sandwich on ww and...

Triscuits. I really need to get to the grocery store.

When I got off work today, I had to stop by the vacuum store. My vacuum had a piece break, and I thought it would just be a simple fix. NOT. I have to buy and entire new hose that leads to the broken piece and it costs $139. I was not prepared for that and said I would have to wait. When I left, I called my husband and we were hoping to find it cheaper online. We did find it, but by the time you add shipping costs, we would have only saved a few dollars. If you know anything about me, I have issues with vacuuming. I seriously vacuum EVERYDAY. So, to be without my vacuum it not so good. When I get off work tomorrow I am heading back to the vacuum store!! Ugh, who wants to spend money on that??? Stinks!

Enjoyed this in the car on my way home. 

 Laughing Cow cheese (35 cal.) and Triscuits while I searched the internet for my vacuum replacement.

. 

Dinner was a nice big salad with veggies, 1 cup lasagna and one slice of french bread.

Yummy strawberries!

After dinner, I hit the treadmill late. The day really got away from me. I did a 3.5 mile walk with the weighted vest on incline. I totally could have pushed myself harder but just didn't. Still a good work out:)

Sunday Eats

I started off my morning with a banana.

John made me an egg, light English muffin and a slice of ham. I love Sunday!

1/4 cup trail mix.

Lunch was turkey, Swiss, lettuce, light mayo on ww. I also enjoyed a bag of 150 cal. chips.

Cookie:)

I enjoyed several bowls of watermelon and strawberries. So good. The watermelon seriously tasted like candy. I know I ate way too much of it today but it was so good.

Once again dinner started with a huge salad full of veggies.

Dinner was London broil with 2 slices of french bread.

Could you resist??? LOL

Today was another awesome day. I enjoyed a 3 mile run again tonight then jumped on my bike for a few miles. Great workout to start off my week!

Another Hot One

Wow, today was HOT in MD!! Heat advisory kept me on the treadmill again today.  Had I gone for an early run this morning I would have been okay but I chose sleep instead!

Love the sticker on my banana this morning:)

Ate my Clif once I got to the office.

This is a snack size baggie. I mixed some almonds and dark chocolate chips.

Lunch was PB sandwich on ww, string cheese and Triscuits.

Afternoon snack was a Kashi bar.

When I got home from work I MEASURED out a 1/4 cup of trail mix. Woohoo!

Dinner started with fresh strawberries. We all enjoyed these. They were so good!

Salad with lots of veggies. 

Dinner was chicken with dijon mustard/slivered almonds, Alexia onion rings and a slice of whole wheat french bread (totally not necessary). I did not finish all the chicken because it was pretty big. This is a salad size plate. 

After dinner I got a few things done around the house including laundry, vacuuming and I managed to get one of the bathrooms cleaned. This caused me to get on the treadmill after 8 and I stayed on for an hour. Good workout. Late workout!! 

Super late treat thanks to daughter #3!! Not too bad. I think the bag contains 7 tootsie roll midgees and 120 calories. She was so sweet to surprise me with them so I had to eat them!!!
