Kashi Meal Review & a Surprise Party

Good Evening Peeps!

I've been working on my book all night, and I'm just now getting to blog. This is wayyyyy past my usual bedtime, so I'll make it quick.

For lunch today, I tried a Kashi Meal: Lemongrass Coconut Chicken.

Ok, I seriously heart coconut. Where the halibut was the coconut?!? Needless to say, I wasn't impressed. I thought it would be really tasty. It has quinoa, which I love, but there was really no flavor. It tasted like chicken, quinoa and snow peas. No flavoring at all. And, it was a bit mushy to boot. I didn't eat it all.

For dinner,I threw something together at lightning speed because I needed to get back to work. Hubby couldn't cook tonight because the Colts were playing (HOLY COW - did you see that game!?).

So, I made Kraft Whole Grain Mac n Cheese with a can of tuna and some fresh broccoli. Served with kiwi on the side. It was actually really tasty.

Sorry, my camera sucks if I'm only using interior lighting (it was already dark outside, so no help from the sun).

Also, last night, we threw my husband a SURPRISE 30th Birthday Party. It was a total hit. He was COMPLETELY surprised.

Yes, a football cake, too. Of course, what else?

Hubby had an absolute blast. A complete success! I can't believe my man is 30!!! It seems so grown up!

And, now... it's really time to go to bed. In the morning, I'm hoping to hit the gym and finish my math homework, all before I have to be in class at 7:30am. SHEESH. We'll see.

See you tomorrow.

The Moment I Wake Up

(Before I put on my makeup... la la la)

Good morning everyone! Again, happy 4th! I hope you're enjoying your holiday weekend.

This morning, I had a personal training session. We did both squats and lunges (with weights). I barely made it up the stairs to my apartment my legs were so weak. Ugh. My trainer Janan is one tough cookie, that's for sure.

This morning pre-workout, I had a bowl of Kashi Honey Sunshine and fresh blackberries. I also had a glob of a almond butter in the mix for protein (since I don't drink my cereal milk).

After my workout, I managed to crawl into my apartment, where I had a glass of 1%, a kashi bar and some Flintstones.

I don't know yet what our plans are for today. Right now, Mr. Myers is doing laundry and I'm... well, I'm doing nothing. :) We'll see what the day brings.

Have a good one. :)

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.

xoxo
