Work stress is overwhelming!!! I'm sitting here with my glass of wine and about another hour worth of work. Food is good and I did walk last night (101*) UGG! We couldn't bring ourselves to run. I'm sitting on the couch tonight. I got to work at 6am this morning and didn't leave until 6pm. I had 2 peices of pizza for dinner and I'm sitting on my but with a lap top in my lap :)
Time to get back to work...This weekend should be nice (albeit HOT)

FORGET IT!
REALLY! Forget cooking! Forget outside exercise! It will be 103* today with a heat index of 115*. We didn't run last night b/c (a) it was too hot (b) I got my little visitor and had really bad cramps (c) IT WAS TOO HOT!!! I didn't even cook dinner so the beloved chicken was tossed out :) Mase spent the night with his mom mom last night so we took Dom and Olivia to Chuckie Cheese. It was ok...I got the salad bar but the people there are so bizarre. Why are people so rude sometimes? I know, a question for the ages...
Today will be good food wise
Breakfast: eng muffin/veg sausage/lf cheese sammie, GM
Snack: Watermelon
Lunch: Eng muffin/veg burger/lf cheese sammie, RF cheese nips
Snack: Watermelon & Apple
Dinner tonight will be out. I just can't turn on my oven or stove top! IT IS SO RIDICULOUSLY HOT!
I will make a valiant attempt to run tonight. I have the PTA meeting at the new school so hopefully this will end early enough that I can make it home to run before it gets too dark (I do want to wait until it cools down a little). UGG...I will melt today (Ohhhh, wouldn't that be nice? LOL)

Running and Talking...
This week I've been a Rockstar! Exercise every day! Eating lots of veggies! Not Snacking after 6p! GOOD STUFF!!!
Last night was my first night back to running with Terri. I do more when I have a partner in crime! We timed out runs. I've signed up to run my first 5K...Race for a Cure in October...so we are training for this. It is really great to talk while running. (a) I know I'm not over doing it (b) I LOVE TO TALK! LOL
So yesterday was really good food wise:
Breakfast: coffee w/ 1tbsp cream, veg sausage/thin slice lf cheese/eng muffin, Green Monster!
Lunch: Chicken and rice/beans, Greens and Cherry Toms, Apple with 1tbsp natural PB
Snack: Watermelon! YUM
Dinner: 1 C. Baked Ziti from Poulet (dinner service) - really good!!!
That was it...then ran 2 miles (ish) with Terri
GREAT DAY YESTERDAY - even if the head index was 110*
Today will be a little different but still good. For some reason I woke up STARVING this morning. I NEVER wake up hungry so this was weird. I had a banana on the way to work and Wednesday mornings I treat myself to Dunkin Donuts. I got a large coffee w/ cream and a egg white/turkey sausage/flat bread sandwich. I've already consumed that. Around 8a I'm going to get myself some fruit from the deli down stairs. Lunch will be out...Grace and I go out to lunch on Wednesdays. Somewhere pretty healthy hopefully...Jason's deli or maybe panera (I can get something OK here). I don't know what I'm in the mood for, I'm sure it'll be fine! Dinner tonight will be chicken and broccoli casserole. It is going to be hot but I HAVE to make this chicken in my fridge before it goes bad! :)
TONIGHT/TODAY is another scorcher! I know we'll run; it will probably just be MUCH LATER to let the earth cool...That's all I got for today!!

what a weekend...
Well...where do I begin?!?
Something is up with me...my motivation is low (as I'm sure we all sensed in my last few posts). I have gained 2lbs from last week. My weekend eating is horrible! At the pool we snack snack snack and not on such healthy stuff. So here is a run down:
Friday night was my brother's birthday. We went to my moms after work and hung out until dinner/cake time. I had DJ run out to get us some snacks. I ordered pico de gallo with avocado and whole grain tortilla chips. OK, this isn't a horrible snack (except for the tortilla chips) but the problem is that I ATE ALOT OF IT! Dang it... Then dinner was Italian sausage with peppers and onions on a big white hoggie roll (with a little mayo). Oh and my mom made her shrimp macaroni salad (with lots of mayo too). Ouch but so delicious. Then dessert was a tollhouse brownie cake. YUM! but I only had a little piece. Lunch had been OK...a salad with some chicken and bfast had been good (a vitamuffin). Oh and I just remembered...I had some really bad trail mix with candy in it (prob 300 cal worth). Oh and to my credit, when we got home I ran a mile and a half! WOOT FOR ME...eating bad - exercise good!
Saturday, I had to go to patient first with my big boy. He got a splinter in his foot at mom's on Friday night and we couldn't get it out so we relied on the experts at Patient First. It was a success but that meant we didn't get home until almost 10a. There was no run :( But I did power clean my whole house. I mean crazy woman cleaning...cleaning out the grout in my bathroom with a toothbrush cleaning, vacuuming the ceiling cleaning...CRAZY! I used this as my exercise credit for the day :) So what did we do the rest of the day? We went to the pool...I snacked on a few chips but all in all it wasn't a BAD food day. Then for dinner we got sushi (spicy tuna, cali, phili (DJ), salmon avacado - all good choices). I may have had a tiny dish of ice cream...but that was pretty much it!
Sunday, I woke up around 6am and went for a run. Then we got ready for breakfast at the diner (weekend ritual) and church. At the diner I get the same thing each week. 2 eggs over medium with rye toast and potatoes. When we got home, I started getting us ready for the pool. Lunch I packed...sandwiches on again white hoggie rolls. sliced chicken breast with a little cheese, tomato and light mayo. CHIPS...UGG! I ate alot of chips!!! I've gotta do away with the chips. I'm becoming an impulsive eater!! Dinner last night was a quesadilla (I made) with a tiny bit of cheese some pico de gallo and a little light sour cream. Dessert: another SMALL scoop of double churned light ice cream.
My weekend wasn't TOO HORRIBLE but it was bad enough to bring me up to a weight I don't want to discuss. I know my week days are under control, now I just need to get my weekends under control. DAMN POOL :( LOL Oh and I didn't green monster AT ALL this weekend :(
Back to it today...I've packed a small salad (greens, grape toms, cucs, lemon vinaigrette), I made a batch of my beans and rice with chicken yesterday and was able to get 4 lunch containers packed with it (3/4 C brown rice, can of black beans (rinsed), 1/2 C frozen corn, chicken breast diced, 2/3 C. Pico de gallo). This is the whole recipe and I broke it out into 4 tupperware for this week's lunches. I know it has alot of carbs but I really crave that at lunch time so hopefully it will stop me from snacking too much. Breakfast will be a GM and vita muffin and I'm enjoying my coffee with 1tbsp cream right now. Dinner tonight will be baked ziti but I'll only have 1 CUP and hopefully Terri will be up to running (she just got home from vacay).
That's all I've got...TTFN!

Pool Days
I LOVE going to the pool. I love the time with the kids, I love the sun, I love that Livie takes good naps there, you name it!!! The only problem with the pool is the ice cream and snacking! I can't seem to get a handle on it. This is probably the cause of the mysterious plateau!! I've decided I'm going to write down EVERYTHING I eat this weekend...I'll update yall on Monday!

Plateau
It's official I've hit a plateau. I can say that b/c I've been doing really well with exercise and eating right (I need to improve my weekend habits but...all in all I've been doing well). And I'm sticking with the same weight since last week...ICK!
I know I'll move past it but this makes motivation difficult. I'll just keep plugging away.
Note: I even ran last night in temps in the 90s!!! Tonight is an outing with La...little GNO :) We'll be at BoneFish, I think I can be good here :)
TTFN all...217

Mood...
My Mood is GREAT!!! I'm not sure what happened over the last week but I'm elated lately. I'm thinking this is because my stress quotent is decreased GREATLY!!! I'm so happy to report that I feel like my old self again! I'm running, monstering and eating well *I'm sure this is part of it* :)
This weekend I did well food wise. I had lots of fruit and veggies. I had GNO on Saturday night where I got a tuna/mango wrap that I'm going to crave b/c it was SO DELICIOUS! I went a little crazy on Tortilla Chips but nothing too crazy :)
Today I had a veggie sausage, english muffin, cheese breakfast sandwich. Lunch was a veggie burger/english muffin sandwich, salad with a new lemon vinegrette dressing I'm loving. Snacks included my monster, some tricuits, pineapple and a gala apple. Dinner tonight will be chicken fajitas. I will C25k tonight even though it is like 100* outside - OUCH! Work is good, Home is good, Life is good...let's see how long this lasts...TTFN!
