Hey all! How has your Thursday been? I’ve had another busy one, but it’s all good! After posting last night I warmed up some chocolate peppermint stick soy milk as a bit of a snack.
I started the day out with my usual oats;
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup PC 5 grain cereal
- cinnamon
- almond butter
- carob chips
- pecans
I remembered soon after arriving at work that it was the day for our office potluck lunch. More food. *sigh* My work goes kinda nuts with food this time of year. Another great spread was put out, but I didn’t get any photos this time. Here is my plate, though!
FRUIT! A mini pita with roasted red pepper hummus, 2 pinwheels, crackers and a bit of cheese, meatballs, shepherds pie and pasta. They brought out trays of cabbage rolls later on and I had one of those, too. Everything was very good. And I kept the sweet stuff to a minimum today. Check out my “dessert”.
And I enjoyed a coffee laced with eggnog:
I did bring some treats home for for the kids, though.
To keep myself from complete data entry boredom this afternoon, I amused myself by taking pictures of my necklace.
I bet I had 15 on my camera by the time I was done!
Needless to say, I wasn’t very hungry for supper, certainly not for sausages which were on the meal plan for tonight! Instead, I went for a salad with pecans and raspberry walnut dressing and a toasted WW English muffin with a LC wedge and a 1/4 cup of egg whites.
After dinner we all went to DS’s hockey practice and then up to the mall where I picked up a few more presents and a birthday present for a party DS is going to tomorrow night. I bought a GREAT pair of earrings which I will photograph and post tomorrow because the flash is not doing them justice. The best part? They were on sale for $4.99. SCORE!
I think I’m going to end this here and go grab a snack because I’m feeling hungry now and dinner was long ago. I’m thinking a bowl of cereal will do the trick. Hehe!
Bye for now!!
Great necklace! I am thinking I need to pick up some carob chips ... they look way too yummy in your oats.
ReplyDeletechocolate peppermint stick soy milk sounds fabulous- especially heated! Your office puts on so many holiday events- love it. Cute necklace and can't wait to see the earrings (what a steal!). Enjoy your night:)
ReplyDeleteMmm chocolate peppermint stick soy milk! I love peppermint flavors during the holiday.
ReplyDeletePeppermint hot chocolate from starbucks is my favorite.
Have a great night!
looks like a delicious work lunch!
ReplyDeletechoco peppermint soy milk?! that sounds delicious!
ReplyDeletethere is SO much food everywhere at work! I work in a corporate fitness center so I try to not wander the building too much because there is legit food everywhere!!
love those gingerbread men and rice crispies for the kiddies!
Can't wait to see the earrings - sounds like a great deal! Those gingerbread men are decorated so nicely! I may be a baker but I'm NOT a decorator. A 5 year old could do better than me!
ReplyDeletePretty necklace! Food is everywhere this year for me... I think it's because I've been so concious lately about what I eat.
ReplyDeleteoh i love that necklace and i'm so excited to see the earrings!
ReplyDeleteshow 'em off girl :)
Bet the kids loved those cute little treats! I still haven't made gingerbread men this year, think I might run out of time unfortunately!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I used to love chocolate icy squares! (I haven't seen them in forever though!) The gingerbread men are adorable!
