Go, Girl, GO!!!

It certainly has been a beautiful fall in these parts so far. We haven’t had any rain yet in September and the temperature has been magnificent. I’m sure glad the weather was gorgeous for DD’s cross country meet today. More on the in a second. Let’s get to breakie first!

• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup kamut flakes
• cinnamon
• blueberries
• macadamia nut butter

DE-LI-CIOUS!

At 11am we picked up KC and made our way to the meet. DD was a little nervous, but I think it was more from the girls freaking each other out than the actual race itself. Here she is (on the right) at the start line;

And I took this one about half way through;

Look! She’s airborne! Her grade (five) had to run 2 km and I ran part of it with her so I could pass her a water bottle. She gets hot pretty quick and I knew it was help her out. I also wanted to keep her motivated as she went. I asked her after the race if my running along helped or not and she said she appreciated it. I snapped the next picture without her knowing about it. This was soon after she crossed the finish line;

HA! LOL!!! At one point while I was running with her she wanted to stop and I told her that she would feel so proud when she finished and that nothing worth having was easy. Shortly after I took this picture she told me she was so glad that she kept going and crossed the line. Awwww…

Then she wanted to eat! So lunch it was…mind you, it was 1pm at this point! In a bowl I mixed about a cup of NF Oikos, a scoop of pumpkin butter and about a 1/2 cup of Nature’s Path vanilla almond granola;

Love, love, LOVED this!!!I swear, there’s yogurt hiding under there! :D

I took care of the groceries as soon as I was done eating, then DD and I stole KC again and drove over to a nearby trail for an hour long walk. It was awesome. The puppers had fun, too!

We got home pert near 4pm and I was pooped out! I crashed on the deck with a magazine and stayed put for an hour while sipping on a half caramel cappuccino, half coffee from 7-11…

Bliss…

While I was zoning out, my hubby got some dinner grub on the BBQ. Beer butt chicken (yes, we`re addicted!), tri coloured potatoes (which I tossed with avocado oil, S&P)…..

…..and a quartered buttercup squashed that was spritzed with my olive oil mister. This all stayed on the grill for 1 hour. Dinner was served!

Oh, la la!! Dessert was a caramel Skinny Cow bar that I bought today. These ones have no Splenda and tasted JUST like butterscotch pudding!

I tried a new (to me) product that I`ve been working through for the past week or so. Blue Diamond Wasabi Soy almonds;

Good Lord, these are fabulous!!! I finished the can off at some point today. They made a great little filler for me while they lasted. It`d be safe to say that I ate small handfuls at a time and that was just enough.

My hubby is heading out for hockey in a bit and I plan on spending some time in front of the TV. Tomorrow morning we are attending a bottle fund raiser for the hockey team. That should prove interesting! My Dad brought over a big load of wine bottles and we hit up some of the neighbours, too. Now we have a nice little stash to bring along! I will be sure to report back tomorrow on how it went!

Bye for now!!
