Thirsty Thursday

Today I had to work in the office since I took some time off this week that cut down on my in office time (they don't make me do this but I despise falling behind and having other people do my work - I'm a control freak).  However, I got to go in a little later due to having to go down to the workers' compensation commissioner's office for a brief settlement meeting at 9am.

I got to eat breakfast at home and we had some Honey Bunches of Oats to use up so that's what I had.

Side note:  My almond milk was at work for coffee but its so good in Honey Bunches of Oats - makes it a little sweet - you should try it.

 

On the way to work I heard that BK commercial about their smoothies again and this girl is missing her blender (its already in Arizona waiting for me) so I swung through and got a banana strawberry smoothie. I found the calorie count and it was only 200 calories for a small. 

Do you think that's good for a smoothie?  I wasn't sure really since I never count up my homemade ingredients.  It was pretty tasty.  Better than Sonic I'd say (calorie wise) since they use ice cream in theirs.

I bypassed the coffee this morning due to the smoothie.

 

 At work I did lots of filing today so was sitting on my ass most of the day and didn't feel like I accomplished much at all.  

After work I headed to kickboxing for 54 minutes (I skipped out a little early so I wasn't late to pick up kids from daycare) and had my arse kicked the ENTIRE time.  I love it and I hate it all at the same time.

Dinner consisted of random stuff we need to use from the fridge before our move - again.

I had orange juice, strawberries, and crackers dipped in ham salad.  

I know.  It didn't thrill me either.

After dinner the kids took a quick ride on the mower with Uncle Jimmy, played on the swing set, went to my parents for a bit to start dethawing the 60 pounds of meat the husband is smoking next week for our going away shin dig, and then it was dark.  The house is still a mess but we are all worn out and had a good night.

Very worth it.

Speaking of cleaning out the fridge, its for sale folks!  Any takers?

 

Tomorrow I only work a few short hours before my MASSAGE at Anani so I am going to get some work done here for a bit and RELAX tomorrow before this hectic weekend of dance rehearsals and dance recitals begins!

Wednesday Happenings

I have a busy day planned working both jobs and fitting in my yearly colitis checkup so not sure how detailed this post will get for you.

I started off getting labs today so didn't eat until mod morning But had the Usual yogurt and coffee.


(Yes I know its sideways but I don't know how to edit on my phone yet)

I packed lunch meat sandwich and a salad with Ranch for lunch.
I snacked on a banana later, hit Kosama for a KILLER circuit session which left me stinky and drenched in sweat.  I had to run to WalMart all nasty to get a few things (but no one seemed to notice my grossness at WalMart).

When I got home the husband and FIL were attempting to fix the garage door (again) and it worked this time!!!  We had pizza from Papa's Pizza (sausage with banana peppers) and couple of brewskies.

It was a good productive day!

Wednesdays Food Coma.

The picture diary continues!  I haven't been to the office since LAST THURSDAY!  With my work at home schedule I always luck out with a Monday holiday and feel like I'm recovering from vacation when I was really working, just at home!

Oh well not crisis while I was at home and all things are well in the work world.

I began breakfast with the usual - yogurt and coffee.

I love how Greek yogurt really does sustain you until lunch and sometimes I forget to eat altogether (that in itself is a small miracle around here).

I worked away until my tummy rumbled for my D.P., roast beef sandwich (co-jack pepper jack cheese, mayo & mustard), and carrots.

Around the normal 3:00 p.m. the tummy began again so I had a small snack packed full of energy before my work out - Red Delicious Apple!

I FORCED myself to go to circuit at Kosama tonight but I was glad I did.  It was a hard workout and I bet my abs are sore tomorrow.

We met the in laws who are in from AZ at our old stand-by, El Rodeo where I FEASTED on steak tacos (in a corn tortilla at least right?), chips, salsa & cheese dip.  I was too busy stuffing face to take a picture.

At home we had dessert - Chad's brownies.

Again I was feasting too fast that this is a picture of Launa's much smaller brownie.

I'm too scared to do the calorie count tonight so I'll just plug my cardio into MyFitnessPal and call it good.

Some days are just like that.

But they are oh so worth it.

Tell me - what do you DREAD putting into MyFitnessPal but you just can't resist?

Thursday - Food Diary

Day two of being brutally honest about my food intake.

First off here is the jelly bean jar.

In my office.

I am NOT refilling it again.

Hopefully someone else helps me empty it.

 

Today I worked in the office but had to run some errands first so wasn't my typical breakfast.

I scarfed down two pieces of toast and two scrambled eggs before I realized I didn't take a picture.

Oopsie.

 

Drank this when I got in.

Had the same salad as yesterday for lunch.

Carrots as a snack.

  

And I hit Kosama for 55 minutes of kickboxing - by far my favorite day! 

  

(Yikes! I'm having second thoughts about the post workout pics)

Here is a screen shot of MyFitnessPal from my daily intake. 

Note I worked my second job tonight so had to eat out - I chose Bbops because I was craving a burger.

WRONG CHOICE.  At least I learned from MyFitnessPal that I have to do more than 45 minutes of kickboxing in order to eat that burger on a normal day.

Oh well.  TOTALLY WORTH IT.

I should have nixed the chili (no it wasn't breakfast, I just am too lazy to move it  under dinner)

 

I did okay.   Off to eat some mini candy bars and check emails!

Side note: I got a positive response to my resume today so I may not be unemployed as long as I thought!

I'm not sure if that's something I call a positive yet....
