I’m here to say that Crazy Busy Life + Sleep Deprivation + Daylight Savings = Pretty lame food choices. Ya. My weekend was pretty weak. I could have done a LOT worse though. ************************** On Friday, my daughter asked if she and her 8 year old brother could make a treat. My first thought was, “Dang it.” Then I realized it was Friday and I loved making treats when I was a kid and I don’t want to deprive them all the time, etc., etc., etc.! So, I said “Yes!” They wanted to make chocolate chip cookies (my fav!), however Continue Reading…
Roasted Pear and Feta Flatbread
About a month ago I went to the Cheesecake Factory and ordered their Roasted Pear and Blue Cheese Flatbread (from the Skinnylicious Menu) and it was so so so good! I KNEW I just HAD to make my own version at home. So, we made them for dinner the other night and I LOVED them!! They were pretty easy to throw together too. However, I must say that the flatbread I used as the crust was not my favorite. It was still very good, but I’m going to keep searching until I find just the right one. Oh, I’m sorry Continue Reading…
Fruity Vanilla Protein Shake + a Decent Run!
Happy Friday everyone!! I love love love Fridays!! Well, I was able to go on a decent run today! Yay! I was so sad about how crappy my last run was that I was anxious (and a little nervous!) to go again and redeem myself! My kids didn’t have school today, so I was able to leave my little ones home (no jogger for me!) I ran just over 4 miles, but I don’t know my pace because the battery on my Garmin was dead. 🙁 I felt good most of the time though and really tried to push myself. The Continue Reading…
Easy Chicken Fajitas
Hey all. I went to a great muscle class at the gym this morning. I really love the class and I really love my instructor. When I got home, I had my yummy “go to” chocolate protein shake again. I also had some homemade pita chips (love them and they are super easy to make!), a pear and about 1/2 C. cottage cheese. I was stuffed. Later on this afternoon, I OD’ed on cereal. I love love love cereal, but I usually avoid it because I can’t have just one bowl. I had Special K and Cheerios, so it wasn’t Continue Reading…
A Very Lame Run
Well, this morning I went on a very lame run. Yes, I’m sorry for the sad report. I wish I could say all my runs were awesome and that every time I exercised I was full of energy and loved every minute. Sadly, that’s not the case. For whatever reason, I felt terrible today! I was going to run 5 miles, but ended up cutting it short and only going 3. I just felt……spent. Ya know, quite often I don’t feel like running. But, usually after about a 1/2 mile or so I feel good and love it. I kept Continue Reading…
I’m a Price Matcher. Woo Hoo!
So…….when I’m feeling ambitious, I love to sit down with my stack of circulars from all the local grocery stores and make a list of all the things I want. Then I go over to good ‘ol Walmart and Price Match. Yes, I’m a bargain shopper! 🙂 I try not to do too many at a time though because I know it’s a little obnoxious. But, hey it’s also pretty awesome too. 😉 Here I am pretty proud of my 5 dozen eggs for $5.89 (usually $9.50ish.) Woo Hoo. Excuse my psychopathic smile. It’d been a long day and I Continue Reading…
