Hi guys!\u00a0 Sorry for being MIA yesterday but the day flew by and was jam-packed.\u00a0 Once I got some down time all I wanted to do was hang with my boys. :D<\/p>\n

Tuesday evening, I was in bed by 9pm and asleep by 10pm.\u00a0 Rock on!\u00a0 I got up early yesterday morning to get things moving.\u00a0 It was awesome outside yesterday.\u00a0 The sky was clear, it was warm, and oh so sunny.\u00a0 Hooray!<\/p>\n

\"Oh

Oh so pretty! <\/p><\/div>\n

And it looks like my peonies are about to bloom any minute now!<\/p>\n

\"Just

Just about there<\/p><\/div>\n

After a few chilly nights with frost (!!) it was nice to wake up to a lovely warm spring morning.\u00a0 I took care of Rocks and poured myself some fuel.<\/p>\n

\"A+\"

A+<\/p><\/div>\n

Then it was time to check in with the office to make sure things were still running smoothly.\u00a0 I did some work stuff, blog stuff, you know the drill and then headed up to wake Scott up for the day.\u00a0 Then I made us some breakfast.<\/p>\n

\"Yumyum!\"

Yumyum!<\/p><\/div>\n

More oatbran with the last of the frozen raspberries!\u00a0 We are so out of fruits and veggies in this house. I’m going to have to remedy that quickly. Basic oatbran yesterday minus the banana.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 1 1\/3C vanilla soymilk<\/li>\n
  • 1\/3C oatbran<\/li>\n
  • Pinch brown sugar<\/li>\n
  • Pinch cinnamon<\/li>\n
  • Frozen raspberries<\/li>\n
  • 1TBSP ground flax<\/li>\n
  • 1 scoop vanilla whey protein<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Mix-ins were cranberries, coconut, and some vanilla almond butter. Do you all prefer when I post how I made the oatbran or do you not give a flip one way or the other?<\/strong> It’s always the same so I’m not sure if it’s something that’s worth repeating. :p\u00a0\u00a0 I had a few sips more of coffee with the oatbran but didn’t finish it and passed that along to Scott.\u00a0 I need to get back to only having 1 mug of coffee.\u00a0 My body is there, my mind just needs to catch up.\u00a0 It’s habit now to pour more coffee and I need to get beyond that.<\/p>\n

    After breakfast, it was beauty time.\u00a0 Then I ran Rocky out for a mondo walk.\u00a0 He was pooped right out.\u00a0 I did some more work for a bit before I had to get ready for PT<\/abbr>.\u00a0 I didn’t want lunch before therapy but needed something in my bellah because it was empty.\u00a0 I only wanted a small something to get me through my session.<\/p>\n

    \"Peppermint

    Peppermint goodness <\/p><\/div>\n

    I pulled out a chocolate peppermint Luna bar to try.\u00a0 I was hesitant to try it because aside from a Luna cookie, I have not liked Luna products.\u00a0 They’ve been too chalky and gross. \u00a0But this chocolate peppermint bar blew me away.\u00a0 It was so freaking good!\u00a0 It tasted just like a Thin Mint cookie but without all the crapola.\u00a0 I started off with half and then ended up eating the whole thing!\u00a0 Aside from one wee bite that I saved so Scott could try it.\u00a0 I could not stop myself, holy schnikey it was so good.<\/p>\n

    My PT<\/abbr> session went great and I was cleared for running!\u00a0 Starting small, no more than 2 miles and I cannot run the next day.\u00a0 If the running goes okay, then for right now only every other day.\u00a0 :woohoo:<\/p>\n

    Once I got back home, it was time for Scott to run Lorelle out to the airport for her flight.\u00a0 We helped her get her things together and then I said my goodbyes.\u00a0 It was 1\/2 an hour to the airport, so that meant Scott was gone for a while because he also had to run some errands on his way back.<\/p>\n

    \"A

    A few of these <\/p><\/div>\n

    To prevent myself from gnawing off my arm, I snacked on some raisins while waiting for Scott to get back. I probably had three handfuls just like this. By the time he got home and we sat down to eat some “lunch” it was 4pm. :o\u00a0 Good thing I ate that whole bar! ;)<\/p>\n

    Lunch was quick because I wanted to eat and see my husband for a minute and catch up. No downtime with my hubs makes me a cranky A.<\/p>\n

    \"Lunchie

    Lunchie time <\/p><\/div>\n

    Salads:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Mixed greens (the very last of the bin :sob: )<\/li>\n
    • Beet and golden beet<\/li>\n
    • Parsnip<\/li>\n
    • Zucchini<\/li>\n
    • Roasted asparagus<\/li>\n
    • Goat cheese<\/li>\n
    • Sunflower and pumpkin seeds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Topped with the last (!) of my Newman’s sundried tom dressing. On the side was some fruit, two oranges. And some hummus and kashi crackers.<\/p>\n

      After lunch I spent some time with my husband and then peeled myself away to make some dinner.<\/p>\n

      \"Perfecto

      Perfecto <\/p><\/div>\n

      Quesadillas and baked sweet potatoes!\u00a0 There was some leftover rice from Tuesday’s dinner, I combined that with some pinto beans and salsa.\u00a0 Put that in a buttered tortilla, added some cheddar and grilled.\u00a0 They were awesome!\u00a0 SP had some butter, and cinnamon sugar on it.\u00a0 In the back is a beer for Scott.\u00a0 I only had about two sips because I was saving myself for this.<\/p>\n

      \"x2\"

      x2<\/p><\/div>\n

      Hello wine!\u00a0 Yeah it’s a boozy kind of week and quite frankly I am all over it. :D\u00a0 Except this wine wasn’t so great. It was a $3 bottle of wine and it tasted exactly like that.\u00a0 Didn’t stop me from having two glasses though.\u00a0 Snap!\u00a0 We watched the Pens game that we taped on Monday while lounging on the couch.\u00a0 They won, woo!\u00a0 And then I crawled up to bed and passed out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
