No deep thoughts today....just food........good food.

Breakfast ....2 poached eggs, My "Nutella Coffee" experiment, strawberries and vanilla yogurt. (I wake up HUNGRY!)
7 PPV




Do you have one of these to poach eggs in the microwave?




I've had it forever! Microwave for 1 1/2 minutes, and the perfect poached eggs!




I was thinking about Nutella here......Hazelnut Flavored Coffee with Chocolate Syrup and a little frothed milk. I will be drinking this again tomorrow morning!




I got another great walk in today with a couple of girl friends. A good 45 minutes of walking today. No where near the 6.6 miles like yesterday! I felt great when I got out of bed this morning, but my calves are starting to feel the miles tonight. Pretty sure Weigh In is going to go well on Friday. :)

I am beginning to feel bad calling the following a smoothie. It has certainly become a favorite after a workout of any kind. it's TOTALLY a shake! Look at how thick that is!





WW Creamy Chocolate Smoothie Mix
1 C water
1 C ice
1 frozen banana
1 T. of Peanut Butter Powder
3 PPV




Later? Simple. Cantaloupe.
Zero PPV





This was an accidental find at the grocery store yesterday.




Maybe the best thing I ate today.........Strawberry Frozen Yogurt, topped with 1 T. of Cookie Butter. Geeeezzzzz, it was just SO wrong, it was right.
6 PPV




Even though I am planning on a salad and some leftover stuffed chicken for dinner, the weather was so cool, I was in the mood for some grilling. I grilled up some marinated Chicken Breast and some Mock Fillet's. (Bacon Wrapped Sirloin) I have plenty to freeze some, and I shouldn't have to cook for the next couple of nights for sure......




Not a pretty sight for a vegetarian, but I was happy.




Simple Caesar with fresh shaved pieces of Parmesan and leftover stuffed Chicken for me tonight.
This chicken was equally delicious the second day!
14 PPV

I remember saying to Mike one time......
"Why do you think some people have self discipline and some people don't?"
Mike said...
"Well, it's a choice."
I didn't like it when he said it, but after thinking it about it for a long, long time, I knew.............He was SO right!

  1. Oooooh! I love that quote! I just got up at 5am to the sound of rain. I right away started thinking "Ugh, I dont want to run in the rain" )even though I usually enjoy running in the rain) I was just filling my head full of negative thoughts..but your quote is right..I can either get out there and shut up that voice or sit on my butt and complain..It IS up to me!
