Soccer and Tacos

It was a crazy afternoon yesterday...I left work and headed home, made dinner (Taco Night) and then we had Soccer practice for Dom :) 

While walking out of work I had a granola bar (not the best choice but I needed a snack).

Then I made dinner - I LOVE Taco Night the only problem was that we didn't have any cheese.  The shredded cheddar cheese is my favorite part of TACO NIGHT!  DANG IT!  Oh well, we had cheese-less Tacos and hit the road for Soccer Practice.

Soccer practice was Great and Mason even found some friends to play with at the field!  Livie had a Chobani Champions (kids yogurt) and she LOVED it!  I'm not sure I should be surprised.  Livie LOVES all food.  After practice we attempted to stop for Fro Yo but it was too late and sister was getting grumpy.  It was 7:30p, about an hour past her bedtime.  We got home, I gave her a bath/bottle then bed.  The boys had a great night, bath then bed.  Then DH and I had to talk about some stuff and I decided it was sleepy time.

That's all I got for tonight!  TTFN

Grace is back and Underwhelmed

Why is it that when Grace returns from vacation...we head to Wegman's and PIG OUT?!?!  LOL...We had a great lunch break and felt like time stopped :) We didn't really PIG OUT...but we tried.

Back to this morning...I'm back in at 6am in the mornings (since school is back in session).  This means that stomach issues or no stomach issues, I've got to give coffee another go.  Result?!?  SUCCESS!  I didn't have any stomach issues and thoroughly enjoyed my cup of coffee this morning (favorite part of my morning coffee is my morning coffee cup)  I HEART the Food Network!

Breakfast was my new addiction (Oatmeal/Bananas/Macadamia Nuts)

around 10:30am I had my Green Monster!!!  My Monster was so green today b/c I omitted the blueberries :)  I LOVE when it is bright green!!!!!!

Around 11:20 we headed out to do some shopping...we hit Wegmans where GRACE made me pick out some Dim Sum (snicker).  I LOVE LOVE LOVE Dim Sum.

I LOVED the little dumplings at the top of the picture but didn't like the purses.  I should have taken a picture of the middle...it was bready (weird texture).  I didn't want to waste the calories :(  I gave them to Grace *haha*

We realized it isn't as much fun to shop when you don't want to spend money.  We are all on a money crunch with school starting and the economy SUCKING right now :(

When we got back to the office I heated up the Lean Cuisine I'd brought for lunch.  I always doctor my Lean Cuisines so I brought about a cup of frozen broccoli for this Thai Chicken dish. 

I just microwave the broccoli for a minute and the LC for 4, pour the LC over the Broccoli and voila, BEEFED Up Lunch.  I learned this little trick from Hungry Girl.

All in all I was underwhelmed by this LC.  It was kind of bland and I had to add some salt *which I hate doing*.  I didn't overly enjoy it and won't buy it again.

I tried to talk Grace into going to Tutti Fruitty again (Fro Yo) but she said it wouldn't be a good idea (sometimes you need a friend to talk you off the ledge) LOL...I know we'll be going there by Wednesday at the latest.  It was SO GOOD and way too close for me not to indulge!

That's all I got for today...I'm full although the flavor profile of my lunch didn't really satisfy :(  Not sure what will be on the menu for dinner.  The fam should be home around 5p and we have to be at Soccer for Dom by 5:45.  I'll check in later - TTFN

Dinner at Mom Mom's

After I got the girl up (around 1pm), we went to El Forno (little pizza place near our house).  I got a side salad and had a garlic knot :)  YUM...the boys got a pizza and enjoyed!

Then we headed to my Mom's (Mom Mom's) for dinner.  I LOVE my mom's cooking.  She is AMAZING!  We had Lasagna Roll Ups with Salad and some bread :)

My sis made a delicious pineapple pudding cake

After dessert we burned some calories trying to get the kids to take a picture together :)

It was not easy :)

Then we came home and I put Livie to sleep then went for a quick 1 mile run.  It was a good end to the weekend.  Now it is time to research some receipes for Livie's first birthday party this weekend...let's see what I can find :)

That's all I got!!!  TTFN

Sunday Funday

I'm kinda sick of being responsible for everyone's food!!!  It is 12:48p and we haven't eaten lunch.  I asked everyone what they wanted and they said they didn't care...so FINE!  YOU GET NOTHING!  Alright maybe I'm a little grumpy :)  LOL

This morning we woke up bright and early and went to breakfast at the Diner before Church

Dom's chocolate chip pancakes looked too good not to have a bite

Then we came home and cleaned like CRAZY...we'll be waking up little girl in a few and head to my Mom's for dinner.  She is making Lasagna! YUM!!!!

I'm gonna have to get the boys something to eat...I'll eat something lite, before dinner!

TTFN

Pool and Crafts

So I DID just eat what I packed...(plus one treat...some Doritos)

And an ice cold Diet Pepsi

We came home from the pool and I had my leftover chicken from dinner last night.  Man I LOVE that Margarita Chicken :)

Livie and I went shopping for some birthday stuff (I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE WILL BE ONE NEXT WEEK) and we hit the grocery store too :)  While at the grocery store I ordered sushi for DJ...and a roll for myself :)

I got the Salmon Avacado roll and had a few of his Cucumber Maki and one piece of his California Roll. 

I HEART SUSHI!!

Alright...that's all I got - TTFN and Good Night!

Saturday...Soccer and the Pool!

Boys woke us up at 5am...UGG...come on boys it is Saturday.  So I told them they needed to stay in their beds and go back to sleep until the sun comes up.  Believe it or not it worked :)  Around 6:45 we all got up and I hit the road.  I did over 2 miles (YAY)!!!  It felt really really great (I can even say I ran most of it).

When I got home, I made breakfast.  I'm obsessed with this oatmeal and Livie and Mason ate it too.  No spinach for my monster so we had purple monsters this morning.

We hit the road for Soccer pictures and Soccer Fun Day.  Before Soccer Fun Day I needed some 'Bucks.  I got my Tazo Passion Tea/Lemonade Unsweetened.  YUM

Soccer Fun Day was good but HOT!

Then we came home...little girl is asleep for a little nap and the boys are downstairs playing.  I've packed lunch for the pool :)  We'll see if this is all I eat or if I indulge (more on that later).  Here is what I packed:

Time for Pool Fun!!!!  TTFN (210)

Another Storm and Chilis for dinner

WOW!  Another storm is fixin to hit us.  The boys bailed on the game tonight due to the weather :( 

Before we realized weather was going to dampen their plans, they picked me up for work and we went to Chilis :)  I was researching the Chilis menu and found out ALOT OF INFO!!!

Look at the BURGERS!!!!!!  2210 CALORIES?!?!?!

The Salads aren't much better...LOOK at the Quesadilla Explosion Salad

Holy Heart Attack!!!

 

So what did I have???  I started with a side salad...dipped my fork in Avacado Ranch (I needed some veggies) Whoops, I forgot to take the before picture...here is the after :)

  

Then I opted for the Margarita Grilled Chicken (550 Calories for the whole thing)

 I only ate half (so proud)...which meant I could have 3 french fries :)

The boys asked me to take pictures of their food...:)

Dessert?!?!  I finally got some dessert :)  We went to Tutti Frutti for the frozen yogurt bar...YUM.  I got the littlest bit of chocolate/vanilla swirl yogurt with some strawberries, blueberries, almonds, a tiny squirt of chocolate sauce and 3 peanuts and sprinkles.  It was SO GOOD.  Even better, I shared with Dom and Livie so I only had a few bites but it was the perfect amount to cure my crave :)  Believe it or not...this pic was taken before we even took a bite (I promise to make it prettier next time)

See the nasty storm!?!?!  It hasn't hit us here yet but it slammed into Baltimore City (which is where the boys were going to be) 

That's all I got for the night...Dom and I are watching Triple D :)  I LOVE Guy and the Food Network!

Good Night!

Or at least I thought...I needed a snack and found some whole wheat pasta (Oh Well) it was yummy :)
