Back to the Grind

Today I welcomed back one of  my daycare kids. She brought me a wonderful surprise, just what I needed on a rainy, Wednesday morning!

Because I’m a bag-a-holic she brought me a Life is Good tote, a pink pen with a “K” and a yummy bag of peanut butter chocolates that I immediately hid in the freezer from hubby for emergency purposes only! It’s hard to get back in the grind after not doing daycare during the summer so this was a great way to start the week off! :)

After my early morning workout I chow’d down a bowl of cereal with fruit and soon after had a larabar, chocolate coconut chew…not bad.

During naptime I cleaned out the fridge, it’s Wednesday after all and I was planning on getting to the grocery store before summer. I like to take stock to see what I have, is low on and need to get. I HAVE to plan out my dinners and write a list, if not I get home from shopping and I don’t have nearly what I need! As you see in my previous post today, I love to cut out coupons and get the most for my money, it really does add up and some weeks I can save between $20-25 dollars. That’s a post for another day! ;)

Lunch was the usual, Chobani Yogurt, fruit and a cheese stick.

Dinner was even more boring! I guess I’d rather have boring rather than stopping on my way home and picking up fast food like I used to after doing groceries!

Italian Wedding Soup, whole wheat wrap spread with hummus and brown rice chips…

…perfect night for soup, just wish it was homemade! lol

I have a date with hubby, the couch and our dvr!

‘night!

Like Mother, Like Daughter

My oldest daughter, Kailey who is 11 years old was out to lunch with her friend Annie and her mom. How funny is this, she took pictures of what she ate and sent them to my phone!! :)) Possible future Food Blogger?? lol

Here’s her salad, so proud!! :)

 

Here’s her entree Ribs, potatoes and broccoli*

*note, the broccoli hasn’t been touched :(  hahaha

 

As for me, it’s STILL raining!!!  Mother nature has a sick sense of humor!!!

Perfect day for cutting out coupons and getting some groceries!

Hope everyone is enjoying their day!

Comfort Food

Happy Monday!! Hope everyone had a great weekend, mine was rainy and it’s still raining…that only means one thing, comfort food!!!
This morning I worked out, I am on day 23 of my 30 day shred!! Feeling great, just wish I saw more of a difference in my muscle tone. Patience…I have none! lol For breakfast I had Multi Grain Cheerios and Kashi GO Lean with some strawberries. And for a snack I had a Kashi bar, Honey Almond Flax…
 

For lunch I made a hummus, tomato and basil sandwich on whole wheat roll along with some carrot/celery sticks and brown rice chips. And for my afternoon snack I had a handful of almonds, grapes and laughing cow cheese…


By dinnertime I was craving some comfort food, with all this cool rainy weather we have been having so for me that’s a big ol’ serving of pasta with lots of tomatoes, garlic and basil and garlic bread, of course! :)

I had 2 servings and NO SALAD!!!  Just sayin’!! ;)
Tomorrow will be the last day I have quality time with my girls,  day care kids are back on Wednesday and they start back to school next week! :(  Booooo!!!!

What is your favorite comfort food?
