Second Place

So, how’s everybody today? The weather was gorgeous out again here which is always a treat. Now let’s just hope that the internet and I are friends again tonight! Posting from blogger felt really strange because I haven’t done it in a bout a year. While WLW is my saviour where blogging is concerned, I have to admit that I like the way my pictures post from the blogger website better. Moving on…..
-3/4 cup coconut milk
-1/2 cup Alpen cereal
This was warmed up in the microwave for 1min30sec. Have I mentioned how much I’m digging this cereal??? LOL!

Work trickled along OK, I guess. I spent the morning in a staff meeting where we brainstormed a department “mission statement”. It’s amazing what a group of people can come up with given a half hour! Just a little background; I work in the payroll department (which falls under the HR umbrella) of a school board. That being said, here’s what we came up with:

“H”elpful “R”eliable “C”ommunication “A”chieves “R”espected “E”nriched “S”chool Communities
“HR CARES”

My morning snack was another new bar.
This is one I bought in Buffalo last Wednesday. When I busted the package open my first thought was; “this smells like a Cadbury mini egg!” Then I saw that it was green and I got a little scared!
It was delicious, though. I mean, really delicious! And as someone who loves to read anything, I appreciated all the little tidbits on the packaging!

I rocked it out at the gym again today. I hopped on the elliptical for 30mins again but upped the resistance some from what I usually do. Then I did 20 minutes of weights.

Time: 50 minutes
Avg Hr: 155
Max Hr: 178
Calories Torched: 475
Distance: 3.2 miles

I enjoyed my lunch much later in the afternoon again today. Seeing as (this week) I’m in the gym from 12:30 -1:30, I haven’t been getting hungry until at least 2:30. Mind you, I’ve eaten some pretty dense bars pre gym this week so I suppose I should factor that in, right?! Alas, I’m straying. Lunch was a serving of quinoa stew from my freezer:
We had to leave for an out of town hockey game right after work so Subway was dinner. That’s OK by me! I had my usual 6” WW veggie with Swiss, lettuce, tomato, green pepper, cucumber, hot peppers, black olives and sweet onion sauce:
The boys lost again tonight which means the series is over and they placed 2nd. We were SO very proud of all of them!
Here’s DS getting his medal and a close up of the medal:
On the drive home I ate a baggie of sweet grapes.

And I just polished off an unpictured dark chocolate blueberry banana muffin. I plan on spending a bit of down time in front of the TV, but will be hitting the sack soon enough. Tomorrow is free….actually, we’re free until Monday! Now that hockey is done I’m not sure what I’ll do with my time! LOL!

Bye for now!!
