One More Sleep Until The Weekend

I was afraid to move when I woke up this morning but the stiffness wasn’t as bad as I thought. Phew! I did some leg stretching in bed then took an extra hot shower. I had “one of those” mornings with the kids today. Specifically, DD which is odd because it’s usually DS that is moody. Not gonna get into details and I love her to bits, but I was relieved to drop her off at the sitter this morning. Therefore, although breakfast was mighty tasty, it wasn’t all together enjoyed.

Last night DS and I ran to the store to buy a box of crackers and look what else I came home with! IMG_0506
My hubby took one look and asked; “What’s with all the junk?” I told him it was on sale 4/$5.00 and to help himself. Whoppers are my fave, that’s why you see 3 boxes! I did bring a box to work for the office candy bowl, though. LOL!!

I gotta say, up until 11:15 I was all “go gym, rawr, here I come!!” And then it was like my enthusiasm hit a big ole brick wall and my mind took a detour from the whole idea. And that, my friends, is something I do not ignore. Aside from being stiff (I can handle that) I’ve been weirdly exhausted all week and my tummy has been off (IBS issues, nothing new). I made the wise decision to go home and put my feet up for the duration of my lunch hour. I had packed a LUNA bar to eat before the gym, but ended up snacking on some almonds instead. IMG_0503
To me, the Luna is too big of a “snack” when not working out. And while home I ate a few Whoppers and sipped on a Celestial sugar cookie tea. IMG_0508 IMG_0507
I ate lunch a bit later in the afternoon…around 2ish. This is what I had: IMG_0509 IMG_0510
I’ve bought this Ocean’s product before in a Thai flavour so I thought I’d go Italian this time. I liked the Thai better, but this was very good, too. I like the convenience of everything being in the one can, already mixed up. And the tuna is in nice big chunks, not hiding: IMG_0512
The only thing I shoulda brought was some of those crackers I bought last night! HA! C’est la vie…

Going completely off topic here; I ordered some Avon stuff on Monday from a girl at work who sells it and it came in already! Here’s my loot:

P.M. Solutions Night Cream and a Thermal Cleanser. There was a special where you buy one, try another for $0.99. I’m all over deals like that! I’d say when it comes to facial products I use mostly Avon and Clinique. How about you? I’m always up for trying new products that come tester approved. ;)

Ate my bowl of fruit again today! IMG_0514

And a Stash tea a la Allie: IMG_0513

I made dinner to go tonight because DD had skating lessons at 5:30 and I didn’t have enough time, nor did I want, to eat at home. I poached 2 chicken breasts and sliced one into a container then mixed it with some Vidalia peach salsa. In a Ziploc I brought at Flatout wrap, lettuce and a LC cheese wedge. Once DD was on the ice I pulled up a chair in the cafe and prepared my wrap. IMG_0515

Like my Eating Well place mat? Ha! Here it is all wrapped up ready for my belly. IMG_0516

There was also a handful of Reece Pieces that didn’t make the shoot. ;)

I’m off to watch women’s hockey. Canada is leading 1-0…WAHOO! I’ll leave you with a few fun avocado tidbits care of Eating Well Magazine

  • it takes an avocado 12 months to mature
  • avocados do not ripen until picked
  • if left on the tree, they will continue to “put on fat” for an additional 6 months making them even better for you

There you have it!

Bye for now!!

  1. You only ate 5 whoppers!?!? Krista my dear, you are a SAINT. ROTFL!!! For my face I use Baby Dove (unscented, it's the only thing that never dries out my face! I've been using it for years!) and L'oreal Vitamin E SPF 15 & Burt's Bee's Royal Jelly creams. Been using this stuff for years... I have dry & delicate skin and this is what works for me! :)

  2. I had no idea it takes an avocado a year to mature...wow! That tuna salad looks delish -- a great meal on the go. Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride is so good, isn't it?! Just like a cookie in a cup. :)

  3. Hi pretty lady ;) How are you? Sorry to hear you've been having tummy issues this week :( Hopefully they go away in time for the weekend. Love your little candy treats. I'm thinking of picking up a little treat for myself this weekend- not sure what I'm in the mood for. owww the fruit looks super yummy (again!). This fact about avocados really makes me appreciate them : "it takes an avocado 12 months to mature"
