Cooler than a Polar Bear's Toe Nails

Good Evening Boys and Girls (Mostly Girls),

Do you know what's totally cool to me? Tomorrow's Friday!!!! Woooooooo!!!!

Today was a busy day. Between the gym, work, school and socializing, I haven't spent a moment at home! That's ok. It was a fun one. I'll give you a quick run down of the pre-school food and then get to tonight's feature presentation (that would be book club... I know... Am I exciting or what?!)!

As you know, today I had a soy latte that was to DIE for. The first of many, most certainly. Along with the Starbucks, I had a Kashi bar (unpictured) and a twizzler. I haven't had twizzlers in YEARsssss. Now, I remember why. They aren't good.

Lunch was fantabulous. I used leftovers from last night's edition of Hubby in the Kitchen to make a Pork-Yam bowl and topped it with a dollop of Apricot Preserves.

My afternoon snack was organic vanilla yogurt with fresh raspberries. I was too lazy to put the berries and yogurt in separate containers, so it just looks like yogurt with globs. Those were mighty tasty globs, though! I also had an apple.

School was fun today. We did circuit again, and we're all finally getting the hang of it. I was able to figure out how to up the resistance on my bike so I'm actually getting my heartrate up a little. It was the first time I actually felt like I was getting a workout in class. Oh! I almost forgot! One of my classmates, Sheree, is also a nutrition major and a fellow food blogger! Funny story: As we were discussing her story of going from vegetarian to vegan, I was pulling out my bag so I could write down her blog and she says, "Ya, I went from vegetarian to vegan. I don't even buy leather or anything like that." We both look down and there I am, holding my leather school bag and my leather wallet. It was a funny moment and we both had a good laugh over it. :)

After school, I had a quick snack to hold me until book club. (I heart raspberries.)

This month, book club met at Casa De Pico, which happened to be less than a mile from my house! Dee kicked off the night with a Tequila shot.

This month's book pick was Leah's. She chose The General's Daughter by Nelson DeMille. It was a tough book for me. I wasn't wild about his writing style and I tend to avoid Army-type books. That said, Leah seemed to really like it. :)

Regardless, I really enjoyed discussing the book anyway. It's an interesting and, at times, emotionally-jarring read and we had a really good discussion about motives, human (sexual) nature and Army life in general. We have a group of fun, intelligent women so its always time well spent. Thanks girlies!!!

For dinner, I ordered the Black Bean Burritto, which the menu said was 661 calories. I ate about 2/3 of the burrito, a good portion of the rice and a few tortilla chips with salsa. A carby night, for sure.

When I arrived home, I was glad to see Hubby did some bonding of his own... boy-style. He and the roommie played video games the entire evening (still playing as I type this). So, all is right in the world of Mrs. Myers. :) And on that note, it's time for this little woman to shower and hit the hay.

  3. I want to like Twizzlers- they are 'fun' to eat, but they just don't taste good. Burritos on the other hand... ;)

    have a great Friday!

  5. eck, I never really got on the twizzler trolly.

    Dinner (and the tequila shot) looks AMAZING! I really could seriously live on Mexican food. Carlos doesn't like it so we only get to go every couple of months. Guess it's good considering the most options aren't the best and I normally eat way more chips & salsa then should be allowed.

    Hey lady, lay off my toast! HAHA! Just kidding - can you believe it, I like my toast a little more on the burnt side? YUMMY!!
