The girls did good at there game last night, we ended up beating them 2 out of 3. I got home around 7:30pm with dinner on the table and a clean family room…it was nice. Mike picked me up a garden salad and I added a morningstar chicken patty on the top. I had ranch dressing on the side and just fork dipped it. I also added some sprays of italian dressing. I ate all of it except the cheese and tomatoes.

 

Got a little exercise September 25, 2008

Instead of going to spin class after practice I went to my future sister-in-laws house to exercise with her. We walked/jogged 2 miles and did push-ups, crunches, squats, and a bunch of other stuff that I don’t know what they are called. For dinner we decided on chicken salads with romaine lettuce, carrots, tomato, grilled chicken, peppercinis, some parm cheese, a little bbq sauce and some ranch dressing. It was really good. I remembered to take the picture after I already starting eating.

This what I ate when I got home from my volleyball game. I didn’t end up get home until 10pm, but it’s okay because we WON!!!!!! For dinner I made a quick sandwich on an english muffin with a morningstar chicken patty, 1 whole egg, 1 slice of cheese and buffalo sauce. For desert I had a Fage 0% with dark chocolate chips, honey and a couple of puffins. Normally I would put banana in it but I was all out.

I also had a pear after my game.

 

I’m glad it’s Monday September 15, 2008

I’m actually glad it is Monday. I don’t know why but I have the hardest time controlling myself over the weekend. I always eat and drink way too much. So today I need to get back on track.

Saturday night I had a little scare…I ended up in urgent care till 3am. Around midnight I was walking to the bathroom and half way there I felt the worst pain in my foot. It felt like a huge needle got stabbed in my foot. I looked down and saw a huge scorpion running across the room. I started scream to Mike to kill it!!!! He did and put it in a bottle and we rushed to the urgent care which is 45 minutes away from our house. When I got there the doctor said that it was definitely a poisonous one. They took my blood, put in an IV and gave me some medicine so I wouldn’t be nauseous. 2-3 hours later I was able to leave. He said I should be fine. Boy was that scary!

I just realized that I forgot my camera cord at home. I was in a hurry this morning and switched bags…I left it in the other bag. :( Sorry! I’ll have to upload my breakfast and lunch tomorrow. For breakfast I had instant oatmeal and a very ripe banana.

Lunch:

Dinner: I had 2 different salads. They were in a small bowl.

I left work early to go home and take a nap. I ended up taking a 5 hour nap…wow…I guess I was really tired. When I woke up I made myself a turkey sandwich with laughing cow cheese, spinach, sprouts, pickles, and jalapenos. On the side I had a pear.

Mike was at his footbal game so I was on my own for dinner. I ended up having 2 spinach pizzas from Trader Joe’s. These things are so good!!! When Mike got home I had a Bud Light with him.

I left work early so I didn’t have time to post my lunch…I had a baggie full of edamame and a lean cuisine.

Sorry I don’t have pictures for dinner or my snack. Around 3pm I had a Luna bar, I believe it was chocolate raspberry…don’t think I really liked it, it tasted a little weird to me. After the volleyball games were over (8:30pm) we stopped for dinner at Sonic. I had never been there before but I heard that their food was awesome, not to mention their hilarious commericals. But I ended up getting a grilled chicken wrap (380 calories) and I had a few fries and a couple onion rings. To drink I got their diet cherry limeade…it’s made with real limes and cherries.

Volleyball practice ended at 4:30pm and the spinning class started at 5:00pm… I really didn’t want to go and wanted to go shopping instead. But I went…before the class I had half of a PB Larabar and had the other half after the class. Good thing I chose to go though, I got there right when it started and burned 352 calories. I don’t think my heart rate monitor was accurate though, my heart rate was very low the whole time and normally it’s very high during that class. Oh well, I’m glad I went cause I felt great afterwards. When the class was over I went shopping at Super Target…love this place….I walked around for almost 2 hours just looking at all the cool stuff they have. I ended up buying some workout clothes while I was there. I got 2 sports bras, 2 pairs of workout shorts, and 2 pairs of bermuda shorts.

By the time I got home (8:30pm) I was starving…I snacked on some Annie’s cheddar crackers and dark chocolate chips. I wanted something quick for dinner so I made a spinach omelet using egg beaters, spinach, jalapeno mexican cheese, avocado and salsa. On the side I had a morningstar sausage patty and an english muffin with lowfat cream cheese.

The game went well but the girls still need a bit more practice and preparation for a game. Our next game is on Thursday so hopefully we are ready for that game. When I got home around 7:30pm I was starving. I made a morningstar chicken patty on Ezekiel bread with dijon mustard, spinach, pickles, jalapenos, and sprouts. On the side I had some grilled zucchini. Dinner turned out great! I also snacked on some Annie’s cheddar crackers and dark chocolate chips (no pic).

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I had a glass of wine.

 

A snacking kind of night September 9, 2008

All I wanted to do tonight was snack on everything and anything. Before I left for volleyball practice I had a plum…it was not good at all.

When I got home I had a handful of Annie’s cheddar crackers and a handful of dark chocolate chips.

For dinner I made the spinach pizza I got from Trader Joe’s…OMG they were so good and only 140 calories per pizza. I had two of them! I also made some zucchini and spinach. There was corn in the fridge that needed to be cooked, so I boiled it…but I didn’t end up eating it, it was gross!
