Tuesday’s Make Great Monday’s!

I love that it’s already hump day tomorrow! Aren’t holiday Monday’s great makings for a fast work/school week?? 100_6117

DD started cross country at the school today and had to be there early. In order to get as much shut eye as possible, I planned on cereal for breakfast. 100_6116

This here is the last of my Kashi U. This makes me sad because I loved this cereal and it’s not available in these parts.

Lunch time came quick for me today because I’m on the 11:30 shift this week. I ate a zucchini nut muffin before I went; 100_6118

I brought my new Lululemon outfit to wear today and had a gym buddy take a quick photo of me in it so I could show you guys what it looks like on. Don’t mind all the crap in the background or the poor quality of the photo…it was taken with a camera phone.

Hehe…I can be such a goofball sometimes! This tank was super good at keeping the sweat off me. It definitely helped to keep me cool. Here are my run stats!

  • Time: 50 minutes
  • Avg Hr: 168
  • Max Hr: 183
  • Calories Burned: 501
  • Distance: 4.63 miles

I ran for 45 minutes and did 5 minutes of really good stretching at the end.

Lunch was a big bowl of Can’t Believe It’s Not Potato Salad; 100_6122

Followed by a pepper jack cheese stick; 100_6127

I buried myself in a spreadsheet for the afternoon and before I knew it, it was almost time to pack up for the day. I decided to eat my grapes before I left to keep me from snacking when I arrived home. 100_6128

Dinner was a yummy one tonight. We BBQ’d a pork tenderloin which I basted with PC Memories of Damascus sauce and some zucchini from the garden. I had mine with a scoop of whipped cottage cheese sprinkled with salt and pepper. 100_6129

Pretty plain looking plate! But, t’was delicious. My dessert was another Skinny Cow fudge bar. 100_6130

These are pretty good going down, but I’m not fond of the Splenda aftertaste that they have. My hubby bought these as a treat for me which was very kind, but I wouldn’t buy them again for this reason.

DD and I just tool KC out for a walk and practiced her spelling for Friday’s test. Lunches were made before dinner with her help so that is all set to go.

Before I sign off to watch SYTYCD Canada, I wanted to give a big SHOUTOUT to my most awesome FIL who is celebrating his birthday today. The kids called at dinner time to sing him Happy Birthday and we all hope he’s had a wonderful day! Happy Birthday, Al!!!

Bye for now!!

  11. Very weird. I have Skinny Cow fudge bars that look like that but they don't have Splenda, I just double checked, no Splenda or sucralose in the ingredient list, I don't like to eat that crap either. The ingredient list is still filled with not great things so I eat them rarely but I wonder if the Splenda is a Canada/US thing or if they just sell two different versions?
