Breakfast, Lunch, and Football!!!

Go Colts! Go Colts! Go Colts! Actually, football stresses me out.

I get so stressed out when watching the Colts play. I want them to win SO BAD!!! Oops. I just erased half of this line because the Colts made a good play. he he... See what I mean? I get into it.

Breakfast was an egg sammy on an Ezekiel muffin. I try not to eat eggs very often, unless its egg beaters or egg whites. Real eggs are for the weekends. :D


Plus a glass of skim milk.

After breakfast, I finished up a big project for one of my clients. It's laundry day, so Ryan was busy with that. He does the laundry. I deal with cooking, general cleaning, and most of the dishes. He also vacuums. Isn't that cool? I love that he does the laundry. I would hate to have to lug the laundry up and down the stairs. (We live on the second floor of our apartment building.)

Lunch was more of the fried bologna I bought at the market the other day. Served it on a whole wheat sandwich thin, along with an apple and some yogurt.



Here's a couple more pics from yesterday's photoshoot.






Be sure to check out the photoshoot if you missed it. My husband did a fantastic job.

Now, I'm about to work on a set of articles for another client while I watch the game. Multi-tasking is necessary. Always.

Does your significant other help you out around the house? What's his/her job(s)?

Humpday Megapost (w/Pictures!!!)

This is a humpday megapost coming to you LIVE from San Diego, California. :)

Kashi Mushroom Trio & Spinach Pizza

Kashi Pizza Review. Excellent! I really liked this pizza. The crust was thin and had a really good, almost clean taste. Not greasy tasting at all. The mushrooms were a little mushy, but the spinach was a nice accent. It was spare, which is good. Spinach can make a pizza soggy sometimes, but not in this case.

Look at this list of ingredients!

I made the pizza directly on the oven rack, as indicated. I've never baked a pizza "on rack" before, and this is why:

It fell through the grates. Gravity. Go figure. Luckily, I had the foresight to put a cookie sheet under there. Sometimes I have my thinking cap on and all the neurons fire... Tonight was one of those nights. In the end, I managed to get it out of there, and it was quite tasty.

I made up a fruit salad to go with it. A medium apple, a banana, a few grapes and a small handful of grape tomatoes.

I used a tad Orange Champagne Vinegar Dressing from TJs. I use this on all my salads. Veggies or Fruit.

And a dash of my SUPER SECRET WEAPON.

I know... Am I ingenious or what?... It was yum:

Ok, so backing up for a bit. As you know my camera crapped out on me this morning, so you got a picture-less post AND I had my exam today. I think my exam went well. There were maybe 3 questions on there that were a wee-bit tricky, related to cholesterol, but otherwise, I think I aced it. Yay!

I'll recap some of today's eats. It's not all of them. I thought maybe my card was fried so I didn't picture everything. Luckily, it's not fried, just tempermental.

Sunny Days... Chasing the Clouds Away (and June Roundup)

Today is a beautiful day. It started out dreary and dismal, but the sun has come out and the birdies are chirping. Last night, my grandpa had a fever of 105.6. This morning I called the hospital, and he answered. "Hey sissy!" he said, when he heard my voice. He said he felt so much better. This is a huge difference from yesterday when they were throwing around the "stroke" word. It's a big sigh of relief.

Last night after I blogged, I curled up with my book and ate a mini-bag of salt and pepper popcorn. It was a quiet, relaxing night (and I needed that).

This morning, I had an english muffin with an egg sunny side down and a piece of light american cheese. I never eat that cheese, but it was in the drawer, so what they hey. I also sliced up a peach.

Mid-morning, I had a kashi bar and a bowl of apples and strawberries w/almond butter. The strawbabies are about to turn, so I need to eat them up today, for sure.

Today, the plan was to work until 1pm, then hit up the gym. However, I just remembered that my father's birthday is Sunday. (I am notoriously bad about remembering things like this. I love my family and friends ALOT, but I cannot ever seem to remember their birthdays or anniversaries.) So, the new plan at 1pm is to walk over to the mall, pick up a book for dad, go to Walmart and pick up some pictures to send to my grandparents (just because), and then hit up Costco on the way back. Round trip, it will be about 6 miles of walking. (And let's not forget I have circuit training class tonight.) All together, a good enough workout for today, I'd say.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments and emails. It means alot, and all the wonderful vibes you sent my way obviously paid off. My grandfather sounded fantastic on the phone. I'll talk to you guys after dinner.
