Figgy Friday

No early morning Wii workout for this girl this morning! I didn’t fall asleep until well after midnight and was just exhausted this morning so I used the extra 45 mins to sleep in. Once I dragged myself out of bed and into the shower, I was awake enough to get some breakfast going. Thank God the kids had a PD Day today so I didn’t have to worry about lunches! Phew! Anyways, here’s my bowl de jour!


-1 cup water
-1/2 cup McCann’s Irish Oats
-1/2 mashed banana
-1 heaping teaspoon full of fig preserves
-cinnamon


This bowl was kinda sweet which was OK because I needed the sugar rush!

I think that due to a lack of sleep, I was hungry again by 10:30. That’s way earlier than normal! I managed to hold off until 11am before I ate my Pumpkin Pie Bar. No picture today…I didn’t want to be too repetitive! The snack must’ve been just what I needed because it did a pretty good job of holding me over until my lunch at 1:30pm.

I decided to give myself a rest today from any workouts. I promised my guilty conscience a nice run and Wii workout tomorrow! I had some things to take care of anyways and it’s nice to have the hour to do them. DD was invited over to a friend’s place for a visit so I picked her up from the sitter’s and drove her there, went home and picked up the library books that were due and made my way to the library, picked out 2 novels and 2 food related books...Whole Grains, Every Day, Every Way by Lorna Sass(which came highly recommended by Tri To Cook) and "Skinny" by Melissa Clark & Robin Aronson. The latter book claims to tell you "how to fit into your little black dress forever" and is just for reading during commercials. I like these books for the little tidbits of info you can get from them. I still had some time so I hit up 7-11 for a small half pumpkin spice latte/half hazelnut flavored coffee.


That’s all that was left by the time I got back! It was SO good!!

My bagel yesterday was so awesome that I decided to make it again today! Just changed the type of cheese I used…..Weight Watchers WW bagel, mozzarella, fig preserves, spinach, slice of deli chicken breast.


I also picked up a bag of huge cookies at 7-11 for an afternoon treat for the office gals I work with. There were chocolate chip and macadamia nut. I saved one of each for home and quartered the rest for afternoon break.


This plate did not last very long!

DD wasn't home for dinner tonight so the 3 of us went out to Boston Pizza. I ordered the California pizza which came with mushrooms, onions, sun dried tomatoes and fresh tomatoes and Parmesan cheese. My hubby's pizza came with black olives which he doesn't like, so I popped them on to my pizza!



After dinner I dropped the boys off and went to pick up my Mom to hit the mall and try to accomplish some Christmas shopping. We ended up spending almost 3 hours there! I picked up a few things, but Mom bought loads of stuff! As I type, I'm sipping a hot chocolate and relaxing in my comfies. What a long day! Hope everyone enjoyed their Friday evening!

Bye for now!
