Could It Get Busier?

Hmmmm….let’s see…what can I say about today? I know! I’m sure glad to be at home, in my comfy’s on the couch! Don’t get me wrong….the day was good, just long. Work went by fast as it usually does when it’s busy, then we had hockey from 5:30-6:30 and swimming lessons from 7-8. Sheesh!

I actually got to eat at home this morning as no overtime was required of me today. And I enjoyed every single bite.

Back tracking to last night….I made another kefir concoction using 1 cup of thawed mango, 1 cup kefir and 1 tbsp of honey;

This was SO damn good! AND….I made sure to have my camera handy because I knew Pepper would be all over it again. I let him take a lick for the sake of a photo…

LOL!!

There were very few snacks consumed today. I was too preoccupied to worry about food. Here’s what I ate minus the apple which is waiting to be noshed on tomorrow:

I jumped on the treadmill today for the first time in a bit. I ran for 30mins at a speed of 6mph then I walked at 4mph with a 7% incline.

Time: 45 minutes
Avg HR: 172
Max HR: 187
Calories Torched: 520
Distance: 4.2 miles

As you can see from my HR and calories burned, this was a killer one for me. We’ll see if my ankles become upset with me for the incline I did.

I ate a very random lunch today consisting of a container of Oikos, 1 tbsp of chocolate PB2 and some Nature’s Path pomegranate acai granola.

I was surprised at how much this filled me up! Hence not being hungry for my apple!

We had a VERY early dinner tonight. Like 4:30pm early. I whipped up and easy meatball and spaghetti meal for the fam using my homemade marinara sauce. I put some of the sauce aside for me which I mixed into the leftover brown rice from last night. I used a little pasta water to loosen everything up. While that was getting nice and hot I microwaved a third cup of egg whites to use as a topper. Check it out:

The sprinkling of cilantro sealed the deal on this scrumptious meal!

Hockey and swimming were thankfully at the same complex. That means that I spent 3.5hrs there tonight! Needless to say, I was hankering for some eats when I got home. I just scarfed back a bowl of Nature’s Path Maple Pecan cereal.

L-O-V-E this stuff!

I’m signing off and shutting down now. I think I’ll watch Law & Order: SVU and then hit the sack! Hope you all had a wonderful Wednesday….

Bye for now!!
