Vacation Time

YAHOO!! My 2 weeks off work has finally arrived! Hallelujah! I got the day off on the right foot with a great bowl of oats.

• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup oat bran
• cinnamon
• TJ’s almond butter
• dorset cereal
• caramel apple yoga chips

Nom. nom. nom! The apple chips were very good, but very expensive for the little bit that was in the bag. What you see was about 1/2 the bag which cost me $1.79. I saved the other half to eat on their own so that I could get the true flavour. They reminded me of a candy apple which is a big plus in my book!

Here are my snacks that I ate through the day. I’ve been randomly munching on bits here and there lately which is why I’m just posting everything together.

I took an hour off work this morning to attend DS’s last day of Italian school festivities. His teacher is out of town tomorrow which is why the class ended today. DD’s class finishes tomorrow. The kids put on a little show and enjoyed cake and juice, then we all played a game very similar to bingo. Here he is getting his “diploma”!

Check out that bad ass haircut! ;)

I was back to work with enough time to etch out 30 minutes on the elliptical.

Backed with the knowledge that the weather was going to be cool and wet again today, I packed some soup for lunch. I tried a V8 Golden Autumn Carrot;

I paired it up with my last 2 Suzie’s spelt sticks and topped it off with the seeds that were at the bottom of the box…

This soup was all sorts of good! I’d definitely buy it again. I still have a V8 broccoli and V8 chipotle corn to try out. Later in the afternoon I broke out a chocolate Amazing Grass packet and mixed it with hot water and a splash of milk;

Not my favourite way to drink this, but I got it back. It was just to “grassy” when hot!

We BBQ’d up a pork tenderloin for dinner tonight and I chopped up my serving and added it to a huge bunch of red leaf lettuce dotted with feta and topped with Kraft Fig Balsamic dressing.

We are severely lacking in the veggie department. Thankfully grocery day is tomorrow! DD and I ran out the door as soon as dinner was done for haircuts, well, trims, really! We just walked in the door now at 8pm and I wanted to get this up before settling in to watch SYTYCD. I’m very intrigued about the singing and dancing that Katie Holmes is suppose to be doing! Anyone else? Anyways, I’ll be back tomorrow stress and care free on my first day of vacation….or maybe I should call it my “stay-cation”!!

Bye for now!
