Play Time’s Over

Well, boys and girls, it was back to work for this girl today. Can’t say I’m thrilled, but whatcha gonna do? Getting up this morning at 6:30 was killer, I’m not gonna lie. I’m still on vacation time and didn’t fall asleep until after midnight. Tonight will be an earlier one for sure.

I made myself a nice filling breakfast to fuel me through the morning;

• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup Windy Hill Farms cremo cereal
• cinnamon
• blueberries
• almond butter

I had a stack of paperwork on my desk to contend with and by the time I waded through it, it was just after 11. I took a breather to eat half of a Blueberry Crisp Clif Bar;

I ate the other half after lunch.

I was pretty jazzed about hitting the gym. I only ran twice on vacay and did the bootcamp. Certainly not what I’m use to. I thought I be lagging in a bad way, but aside from a 5 minute cramp on my right side about 10 minutes in, everything went well!

I was pretty hungry when I got back to my desk so I dug right into lunch. I packed a good 2 cup serving of the Can’t Believe It’s Not Potato Salad and brought along this pack of tuna to mix in;

This was a great alternative to having to wrestle with opening a can! I got a few pouches while we were in Buffalo. Here’s everything a messed up!

The sun had been shining for most of the day, but at 2 the skies opened up and boy did it pour! It’s been raining on and off since. I decided to make myself a stir fry for my dinner….the fam had their chicken smothered in salsa (not so bad) and lots of cheese (not so good). For the stir fry I sliced a chicken breast into strips and cooked it up. Near the end I added half a yellow zucchini and some broccoli along with a scoop of salsa and about 3 tbsp of Ted Readers peach bourbon sauce;

These are the noodles that I used….

These were pretty good! They were very reminiscent of Shiritaki noodles, but a little more hardy. They made a great addition to my supper.

Because it’s so damp and muggy out, I went for a small bowl of vanilla froyo with chocolate shaving and caramel;

Before I totally forget, I enjoyed a wee snack pre bed last night. I dipped 3 mini blueberry muffins into some macadamia nut butter;

Those little babies did the belly good! This is the brand of macadamia nut butter that I bought;

Love this stuff! I’m off to take K.C. for a walk with DS before the rain starts up again and then I will be tucking in to watch the first episode of SYTYCD Canada! HOOT! Enjoy your Monday evening…

Bye for now!!
