Late last night...



Yesterday in a nut shell: after breakfast, my lunch was a half of my coffee can salad, I had a piece of toast with pb and some granola on top, then dinner was green beans, salmon, and roasted sweet potatoes. I got a few pictures but nothing substantial. Please forgive the blurriness, it's a little digital cam I'm using so it auto focuses and if I move even a cm it goes out of focus! Having a hard time with it! Well...today was a usual mix of cereal and granola, however, I forgot to take pictures until I was literally gulping down the milk in the bottom of the bowl...oh well...if you've seen it once, you've seen it a thousand times! Packed some carrot sticks and cheese and another slice of bread with some mixed seeds to go on top (sunflower and pumpkin). I also made some granola bars, following Kath's recipe (I know I get a bunch of stuff from her, but that's because her and I seem to have similar tastes...). I used chopped dates, raisins, walnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, almonds, almond extract and vanilla in mine...but I used the same basic recipe. Well have to get ready for work. Glad I got out there and got my run out of the way, because now it's raining!!!!

Breakfast was phenomenal yesterday. It kept me pretty full for about six hours. which was great because I didn't get to eat lunch until then! A mix of granola and cheerios, some milk and peanut butter, along with some raspberries and blueberries. YUM! Lots of fiber...I didn't post this yesterday because I was at work for 10 hours and then I had to come home and clean. My landlord is fixing our floor today (rather he sent someone to do it). Lunch was simply leftovers from the kabobs (just veggies) and two chicken strips. I just looooove sweet potatoes. I also ended up with enough leftovers to use for dinner lol. I tossed them up with some shrimp and threw it on top of some brown rice. It was scarfed down in about five minutes because around the time that we were eating dinner, my daughter was getting up to go on a church trip (2:30 am!) to Cherokee. They are going to have lots of fun (she went with grandma)! I skipped breakfast today because I had to get up and finish some cleaning and dishes from dinner. We had "lunch" pretty soon after we got up. I ate most of a chopped salad from Arby's with roasted chicken and balsamic vinaigrette on it. It was delish!!! Those were some of the freshest greens I've ever seen from a fast food place. We really shouldn't eat fast food at all I guess... It's just a habit we have to get rid of. About to make a grocery list. This week has to be cheap and healthy! Wish me luck!

Bowla Granola



I did a little shopping after work last night, and I got a few new things. My favorite was this Organic granola that was only $3. It went really well on top of banana oats this morning, along with the almond butter and more banana! Time to go pack lunch and get ready for work! Later!
