I Walk In This World

Tonight the hubz and I have a date (a political event, but fancy nonetheless).  I honestly don’t know if I can take my camera or not.  We shall see.  It’s at a swank hotel in a town not far from where we live, so I’m expecting a decent meal and interesting socialization.

I did a 30 minute walk after lunch today, just to loosen the limbs and spike the metabolism a bit since there’s no time for a gym trip tonight.

For now, I leave you with with lunch and more evidence that Spring is, in fact, here.

On Mr. Stripey…

• leftover crockpot poblano chicken soup
• 1 small piece of Marathon bread
• BIG tossed salad with green beans, cukes, carrot, maters, dried cherries, goat cheese sprinkle & basalm/vin dressing
• 2 PB stuffed dates

I’m an eating machine today, b/c I just ate a Bosc pear and am about to eat some OIKOS.  What the heck body?  We’re trying to lose weight, remember?

Oh, and I scarfed this down a sec ago…

What do you do when you’re having a starvin marvin day?

SPRING

Hi kids.

The SUN is out, thank god.  I felt my mood crashing again this week with the stupid gray skies & cold weather.  Today is a better day.

I’m still a little bitter about how bad Jillian kicked my ass last night.  But in my effort to be a more positive person (my family is laughing at this notion), I will try to forgive Jillian and give her another go.

Just not today.

Lunch.

On the picnic table…

• a whole mango that was perfect
• whole grain bread with avocado, American cheese, 1 slice Applegate Farm ham
• my Hard Green book

Look at all that sunlight!

Did this morning even happen?  It zipped right by me and I can’t really say what the heck I was up to, other than work.  My brain is not in the (work) game today.  I blame this on Friday.

Breks was a repeat of yesterday, but better b/c I forgot HOT sauce yesterday and today I remembered it.  It is definitely the key ingredient.

On the leaf…

• whole grain mini bagel
• fried eggwhites with peppers, onions, mushrooms
• faux sausage
• 1 slice American cheese
• HOT sauce

I did NOT eat this in the car today!  Rather I ate it at my home computer like any good internet addict.

What’s everyone up to tonight?

What was I up to LAST night?  Eating this glob of pure evil goodness…

• a spoonFULL of choco PB
• 10 choco chips
• 5 butterscotch chips

• And 1 of my new personal fav homemade coconut chocolate chip cookies

After much thought and a few different taste tests, I have 100% decided that I do not like Barney Butter.

It is too salty, which overwhelms the beauty that is a good nut butter. 

I wonder if I am to be shunned from blog world now???

It’s late, so this is gonna be short.

Din was great!  Dessert was fab-u-lusssss!!

• Cashew ginger carrot soup with turkey, navy beans, and mixed veggies (crockpot)
• Whole grain bread

I also added about 1 cup fresh spinach to my soup.  The hubs didn’t.  While I woulda liked to eat all that bread, I was a good girl and split it with the hubs.

• smidge square of Cooking Light’s butterscotch bar
• hefty spoonful of PB & Co. dark choco PB crack

Exercise tonight was 20 mins heavy hiking and 20 mins shoulder/bicep work.

The hubs and I were so happy that FRINGE is back on FOX.  We’ve been missing it for WEEKS! 

Watching telly with the dog…

The husband is in a huff b.c he can’t find some dumb paper.  I gotta go smooth his ruffled feathers.  Such the dramz.

Nite!
