Tuesday is my Monday

by admin on March 31, 2009

Who’s happy today is almost over?!? I know I can’t be the only one!

Today was so busy – you know those days when you get one email out of your inbox only to find 2-3 new ones already? I got in this morning to find 42 new submissions that needed to be processed. And that was just this morning! I don’t even know how many other ones came in all during the day today.

I was so ready for lunch today! All that work made me hungry -

I had a salad with romaine, tomato, and black olives

2 slices of my pizza from last night

and some super juicy cantaloupe

I got a call this afternoon letting me know that group was cancelled tonight – I guess last week was supposed to be the final week for now, but we thought there was one more tonight. I was sad I didn’t get to see everyone, but I was kind of relieved that we were able to come home tonight before 9 pm!

Nick’s been working on an electric fence since we got home, and I went for a run. The weather was perfect, and I’m happy to say that I didn’t get bad side stitches until the very end of the run! According to the Garmin, I ran 3.51 miles in 34 minutes and something, which is good for me. I think my average pace was 9:44 or something like that. I’m pretty happy! It was a good run, overall. After running and doing a little bit of ab work, I was ready for a shower and some food!

I heated up some leftover meat sauce and ww pasta and one of those steamer bags of green beans for dinner

Good, quick dinners are often my favorites!

I have to go work on finishing up this document I’m editing, but make sure to these out!

Back to Basics

March 31, 2009

and….back to work :\ I’m really glad I feel better today, but I still wish I was staying home – it’s nice to have a day home sometimes. Breakfast was back to basics for me – my original oatmeal concoction (aka, the only way I would eat it for a while): 1/2 cup oats, [...]

Running + Hoops

March 30, 2009

Happy End to Your Monday! Are you happy it’s over? I am. That means it’s one day closer to the weekend! I knew Nick and I were planning on running once he got home (since my head was feeling better), so I had a weight watcher’s chocolate smoothie with milk and a few frozen cherries [...]

Morning Migraine

March 30, 2009

Gah…not my favorite way to wake up. I’ve had a headache since I woke up this morning, so needless to say, I stayed home. I just didn’t think I could go stare at my work computer for 8 hours with this headache. I was having a hard time deciding on what I wanted for breakfast, [...]

Learn to Live at a Weight You Love

March 29, 2009

That was the best / most thought-provoking sentence used in my WW meeting today. We had a great meeting – it’s always good to see my other “coworkers” that work all over the state and just spend some time together. The post title definitely has me thinking about things, though. I’m sure I’ll have more [...]

Cupcakes Help Me Sleep

March 29, 2009

Good morning! Sorry for the lack of post last night – we didn’t get back from our friends’ house until around 11 pm and I was just sleepy. I ended up not taking pictures there – they had another family over for dinner that we had never met before, so I just didn’t want to [...]

Run, Brandi, Run!

March 28, 2009

and that is what I did. After breakfast, I ran to the store to pick up some lettuce for tonight, and we decided to go running before lunch so we could finish before it started raining. Thank goodness it held off! It just now started raining, so we were able to get in a 3 mile run. [...]

Continental Breakfast

March 28, 2009

Good morning! I hope your Saturday is off to a good start I’d say mine is: I just ate a great breakfast and now I’m drinking coffee in my pajamas! Great way to start the weekend. I bought a loaf of sourdough bread last night that was on special, so we decided to use [...]
