TGIAF

That’s right! The weekend is just around the corner. This week feels like it has gone by very fast. I’m sure not complaining! Even though it wasn’t the case, I was feeling rushed for time this morning so I decided a bowl of cereal was the way to go;

This here is a cup of Kashi U, fresh blueberries and USAB. I’m almost done the box which makes me sad because this is one terrific cereal.

I managed to get a few odd jobs off my desk today. Glad to see the back of them! My morning snack was a Clif Dipped Mojo Bar;

This bar had me at first glance;

Anything coated in luxurious chocolate has to be good, right? Right. One taste blew my mind! It was like a big mouthful of crunchy peanut butter and nutella. Heaven. The only thing that gave me pause was the 210 calorie count. I normally would want a bar that high to be bigger than this was, but it’s nothing that would stop me from purchasing more on my next road trip to the US. I have a PB & Jelly dipped one still to try and I’m hoping it’s as good. Here’s a final thought on Mr. Dipped!

Then I was off to the gym. I really had to talk myself into going today. I just was not feeling it. Those are usually the days that end up rocking and today was no exception!

• Time: 50 minutes
• Avg Hr: 162
• Max Hr: 186
• Calories Burned: 470
• Distance: 4.5 miles

Five minutes of this was spend giving my legs a really good stretch. Feels great after a run, for sure!

Lunch was a bit of a cop out, but really tasty! I was so unmotivated last night while trying to figure out what I wanted that I just threw 3 ingredients in a container…..leftover zucchini, feta and chopped walnuts;

This turned out to be a fabulous blend of flavours! I also ate some fruit that I collected from the staff kitchen that was left over from a meeting…

Love fresh fruit. Especially when it’s already cut up for me! :D

DS was on the ice again this aft at 5 so I drove over to the rink to watch for a bit. On the way I snacked on some peach yoga chips;

I’ve only got 2 packs left which is a sad thing.

DD and I made our way home at 5:30 so I could get dinner going. I grilled up some bone in chicken breasts and red onions, nuked a sweet potato pour moi and dished out some baby carrots and Sabra jalapeno hummus;

FYI….that extra crispy skin came off as soon as the picture was taken. I have never, ever been a fan of the skin….crispy or otherwise. Ewww. My sweet end was a Skinny Cow fudge pop.

I spent some time on the deck with my book before collecting DD to go purchase a gift for a party she’s invited to tomorrow. Parties sure have come a long way since I was a kid. This sleepover starts at 6:30pm tomorrow and is being held at a HOTEL. Yes, you read that right, a hotel. According to the invite, there will be movies, swimming, and a waffle b-fast bar in the morning. I think I want to go to this party, too. ;)

I’ll sign off now as I go reminisce about b-day parties of the past where we played pin the tail on the donkey and ate a good ole Betty Crocker cake with Smarties as decorations….

Bye for now!
