Productive Friday

It’s finally Friday!! Friday’s have to be the worst day of the week to get out of bed for me. But I had exciting plans for part of the day so that motivated me quick enough! I went back to my trusty bowl of oats for breakie today!




-1 cup water
-1/2 Old Wessex 5-Grain cereal (the last of it...so sad!)
-1/2 mashed banana
-2 Tbsp hazelnut flavored liquid Coffee Mate
-2 Tbsp trail mix
-cinnamon



Snackie last night was the last piece of banana bread. I warmed it up in the microwave and sprayed some butter on it.



I also strained some yogurt for my snack today. Whenever you see that I've eaten yogurt, this is the brand that I use....



It's 60 calories per half cup and the best brand that I have found around here.

I was tagged by Bunny Trails to divulge 7 random facts about myself. I already did this in this post, but thought it would be fun to do it again. Now you will know 14 random things about me! Here ya go!

1) My first stint in college was for food and beverage management, my second for business administration
2) Until I became pregnant with my son, I hated coffee and steak. In fact, once I started craving red meat and coffee with hazelnut flavoring, I knew I was pregnant!
3) I have 2 tattoos...both on my back...one of a dolphin, one of my zodiac sign
4) I absolutely LOVE to read. In fact, I have to read in bed before I can fall asleep at night!
5) I've been to Italy three times and Cancun once. Time for another trip soon, I do think!
6) From the ages of 17-24, I was a smoker....eeeww! Thank God I quit that nasty habit!
7) I prefer to drive a standard vehicle over an automatic one

And here are the rules. I’m not going to tag anyone because I thin it’s gone around a lot already, but if you want to participate, by all means do!



No run (or walk) today. I had very exciting things to do! I was very productive over my lunch...it’s amazing what can be accomplished in one hour! Here’s what I did;

1)Drove over to the mall to hit up EB Games for a Wii system. I have the Wii Fit coming to me on Monday as my co-workers nephew works at Future Shop and snagged one for me earlier today, but she won’t see him until the weekend. No matter...I bought the new Wii Music to keep us occupied over the weekend and the system also came with a disc that has 5 games on it.



2)I then went across the street to William’s Coffee Pub to use my coupon for a FREE regular sized specialty drink. I decided on a pumpkin spice latte made with skim and no whip. OMG! So.Good.



3)The same plaza has a grocery store that I needed to do some price checking in so I
popped over there. There was a lady at the front handing out roses and coupon books with $20.00 worth of savings! How cool is that? Check out the beautiful rose!



I made a wrap last night for lunch using an Italian Herb flatout wrap that I smothered with a Laughing Cow cheese wedge and topped with 2 pieces of turkey bacon, lettuce, roasted red pepper and shredded carrots.




YUM! I also packed a half cup of strained plain yogurt with some pineapple-coconut jam.



After work we set up the Wii and played some tennis between the four of us before heading out to Swiss Chalet for dinner. I was irritated when looking through the menu and realized that most everything I would normally eat there is no longer on the menu! What the heck? No more grilled chicken breast, no more roasted veggies, no more soup & salad combo at dinner. Geez! I ended up begrudgingly ordering a quarter chicken white with a side of veg.



Not very satisfying. The veggies were a soggy, water logged mess (I didn't even eat them) and my chicken was on the dry side. *sigh* I guess the 8 or so chocolate covered almonds I ate when we got home made up for it! I plan to have a bowl of grapes later to get some produce into me. Until then, it's Wii time!! Yahoo!

Bye for now!!
