HUMP DAY!!
It's Wednesday! I got up and really productive. I got the dishwasher unloaded, made sure there were clean sippy cups, and even remembered to put the roast in the crockpot. Plus I made myself breakfast and coffee.. oh ok so that was not so hard but hey I got it all done and off to work a bit early.
Breakfast:
-Sausage Sandwich
-Coffee with hazelnut creamer
I had a really good morning. Well mostly I did. I had a moment that really set my mood for the afternoon but oh well you are gonna have a day like that. I was not really that hungry at lunch but I knew I needed something to eat.
Lunch:
-Egg Salad Sandwich
-Miss Vickie's kettle chips
Oh I also had a CokeZero to drink. I really like CokeZero over Diet Coke. Something about the flavor. Oh course, I prefer Cherry CokeZero over just the regular one.
Because I put a roast in the crockpot, I have not had to worry about dinner tonight. All I needed to do when I got home was make some rice. And BAM! dinner was ready. Yeah me!
Dinner:
-Roast with onions, potatoes, and carrots
-Rice
It was a really long afternoon and so I really needed something to help be unwind and relax. So I am having a glass of wine. It was just that kinda day.
I have been thinking about my day and some things that happened. I am just going to let it go and not dwell on it. It will happen again and so I will hopefully get it dealt with .
Time for another glass of wine. Nighty Night my peeps!!!

Well hello Tuesday...
Today started of rushed. I woke up before my alarm and so I turned if off, thinking oh I will just stay here a couple more minutes and then I will get up. Then 30 minutes later, I wake back up and have to rush to get ready for work. But all was well, I got to work on time but with the barest of makeup. It was ok tho.
Breakfast:
-Key Lime Whipped Yogurt
-Banana
-Chewy Granola Bar
It worked really well yesterday so I decided to try it today. Did not work as well today for some reason. I was starving at lunch. So I checked the menu and knew I was gonna be bad.
Lunch:
-Taco Salad (Chicken)
But it's a salad, so it is good for me right. Lettuce tomatoes, protein. So good for me... nothing like the 12,000 calorie salad. :)
Dinner:
-Shrimp SandwichAnyway
-8 French Fries
-sweet tea
I picked up dinner tonight because it was just easy. I did not have anything to fix at home, so it was either pick up or go by the grocery store and then cook. I chose to pick-up. I am getting better about having things at home to cook and not picking up. I actually do have something at home but it is a roast and I was getting home kinda late today. So no time to make it.
I actually have plans to make the roast for tomorrow. Well as long as I get up on time, I should be able to get it into the crockpot. Then dinner will be done before I even get home. I so love the crockpot.
Anyways, I had a great day. Still did not get the application to the gym, maybe tomorrow. *fingers crossed
Talk to soon. Time for bed.. nighty night my peeps!!

Oh.. It's Monday...
It was definately a Monday. I was up at my normal "work" time but I so didn't want to be. Coffee is the best stuff ever. I know I have stated my love for the lovely warm liquid but on days like today it is a life saver.
Breakfast:
-Red Velvet Yogurt
-Banana
-Chewy Granola Bar
I know not the most well balanced breakfast but I did not get hungry all morning. I actually had to make myself go down and get lunch before a meeting that I had.
Lunch:
-Turkey Sandwich with Provolone on Wheat Bread
-Bag of Pretzels
My lunch was eaten in parts. I actually had also picked up an apple but never got around to eating it. Oh well, I will have it for tomorrow.
Dinner:
-Fried Chicken
-Fresh Corn on the Cob
-Sweet Peas
Yes I splurged on dinner but only with the chicken. I did not make mashed potatoes that I really was craving. Maybe I will have them tomorrow. I will not have a dessert tonight because I did make the fried chicken. The reason I splurged is that I have been craving it and I figured that I have been good the last few weeks. I believe that it is ok to do that every now and then.
Today was a good day. I am really starting to get the hang of my new job. I am still in the learning curve, however, I am getting more of the mess that was left cleaned up. My co-workers that did the job during the transition, as well as, when I was on my secret squirrel mission did a fantastic job. It was the big ol' hot mess that was left by the previous person in my spot that has been the pain in the arse. Oh well, it is about cleaned up. Once it is I will be looking like a champ.
Oh well enough of the work talk. Scooter and Lovey Man are doing wonderful. They love being at home with their Dad. E is doing such a fantastic job that I am impressed everyday at how well things are going. Makes me a little sad that I am not missed as much as I thought I might be. But that is just me being selfish.
Lovey Man is learning tons of stuff everyday. His new favorite thing is air drumming to the Foo Fighters. He loves music in general but the Foo Fighters is the band that makes him smile and air drum. Scooter is getting ready to get back to school. She is missing her friends and is ready to get back to being Miss Social Butterfly.
Ok ok ... time to wrap it up. I did complete the application to the gym at work. Now I just need to "find" the time to take it to them. I mean it is such a LONG walk from my office to the elevator to the gym. *evil grin
Alrighty my peeps... see you all tomorrow! Later Taters

It's Sunday and it has been a good day...
So I am week late in this whole I am going to start blogging again thingy...
Breakfast:
-Bowl of FiberOne cereal
-2 cups of Hazelnut Coffee with creamer
Lunch:
-8 inch sub from Larry's Giant Subs
-The Animal
-Bag of Jalapeno chips - Kettle Cooked
-plum
Dinner:
-homemade Cheeseburger
-American Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Pickle, Mayo, Ketchup, Cajun Spices, and Potato Roll
-Reduced Fat Ruffles
Dinner was really YUMMY! I love making homemade burgers. My indoor grill is fabulous. I loves it sooo muches!
It has been a slow day, just hanging with the family. Only ventured outside in this HEAT to get food.
I did not list PP values because I am being a very bad girl and I have not been tracking this week.
I will list until Wednesday and then I will start tracking again on Thursday. I have been eating really well the last few weeks. Really well, meaning that I have been eating within my points and not splurging on non-healthy things. Now don't get me wrong I have been have a piece of chocolate every now and then but every one deserves that.
I have missed you my peeps. I hope to rekindle this love affair with you all. Oh yeah I am also probably, maybe gonna join the gym at work. I mean it is at work and free.. so no real reasons not to.
Until the 'morrow.... Later taters.
