What A Day

Today ended up being a very busy day. I’m so relieved to be finally sitting here in my comfy’s, let me tell you! It all started this morning with preparing tuna sandwiches for our dinner on the road. I had planned to use leftover meat from yesterday and Monday, but there was none. It’s all good. Then I sat down to a nice breakfast;

-1 cup water
-1/3 cup sunrise blend w/ quinoa
-cinnamon
-raisins
-pumpkin puree
-cashew butter

The cashew butter is a bit dried out, but melted perfectly once stirred into the hot cereal. YUM!

Work moved along well. No complaints from the peanut gallery there. My morning snack was a bit different the usual today and I’ll tell you why in a sec. First, here it is!

This is ¾ of a cup of goat’s milk yogurt with cranberry sauce. Once all mixed together, you have cheesecake in a bowl! I’m really digging this yogurt. It’s without doubt tangier than cow’s milk yogurt and pairs very well with a sweeter add in. It’s a bit pricy, though, so I make sure the 2 cup container last’s me a good 2 weeks.

So, DS was on the ice at 4:30 this aft in a neighbouring city which meant I had to leave work a ½ hour early, which meant taking a ½ hour lunch. Hence the lighter (than a bar) snack. I still wanted to do something at the gym because I won’t be there for the next 4 days so I hit up the elliptical for 20 minutes.

Better than nothing, right?

I made a quick salad for lunch today. I haven’t had one in a while so I figured it would be a good way to get a few servings of veggies into me.

-iceberg lettuce (finished it off)
-red peppers
-can of mixed bean salad with a bit of the dressing

Here’s the bean mix that I used…

We had a meeting at work from 2-3:30 so that sucked up the afternoon. I don’t mean for that to sound negative….it was a productive meeting. I got my booty out the door as soon as we were done to go pick the kids up. On the way I ate a honey crisp apple;

Oh, honey crisp….why must your season be so short???

We managed to get DS to the ice on time. We even had a few minutes for a photo shoot!!

DS is in blue. His team mate isn’t flipping the bird in the first picture although I know it looks that way!! :D

I ate my tuna sandwich on the way home but can’t post a picture because none turned out. Darn flash!

I had my hubby drop me off at my parents place because we had to go to the funeral home. My bestie’s brother passed away Monday night which really sucks. He had been ill so it wasn’t sudden, but he was SO young. He would’ve turned 40 this coming Sunday. And his kids are small….5, 4 & 2 months….I feel terrible for them and the rest of the family. :(

I then had my parents drop me off at the pool where I caught the last of DD’s swimming lesson. I’m gonna watch Criminal Minds and then get my booty to bed. Yee Haw!!

Candy confession time;

Before I go…to all of you who watch the Biggest Loser….why do you think they showed an update on Dan but not Shay? We were discussing it at work today and I have a bad feeling they didn’t show her because she either didn’t lose any more weight OR she gained some back. What was YOUR take on that? I’d love to hear your theories…

Bye for now!!
