Breakfast FAIL

Well hello everyone!

Let me just say thanks for reading my blog.

You all have no idea how much it means to me that you do it, and I really just cant thank ya enough ;)

You all read even when I make decisions like this....

515 calories and 20 cals for creamer

 

Yes folks, Im not quite as victorious as I was yesterday morning.

 

I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning and that resulted in a breakfast FAIL.

 

That would be a cajun fillet biscuit from bojangles with about as many calories as a Big Mac.

 

Or a Large fry.

 

In fact I think I would have prefered a large fry in hindsight.

 

However I am happy to report this did NOT ruin my day!

 

Lunch was same as yesterday!

 

 

rice=160 cals, light pot roast soup=80 cals 2 rolls=200 cals

 

I love how this lunch always feels like Im eating naughty comfort food.

 

All this was less calories than my dang biscuit.

 

Anyways.

 

A co worker gave me a small box of junior mints before I left work.

 

43 cals for about 5 pieces

 

Then I got home to a quiet house.  Hubby was still at work and I sat on my hiney and read the hunger games.

 

Oh I must say I had an odd dinner.

 

I wanted waffles.

 

I am totally not a breakfast for dinner person but I have been leaning towards that latley.

 

I had two waffles with sugar free syurp and spray butter.

 

140 cals for waffles and 20 cals of suryp

 

Then a bit later I decided I would have a flat out pizza with turkey sausage, turkey pepp, onions and mushrooms and cheese. 

 

 

This is a recycled pic becuase the one I took magically dissapeard.

 

Well kids it looks like the hubs and I are going to watch beetlejuice and I am probably going to read more hunger games! I am in the second book and its getting SO GOOD!!

 

Please someone tell me when the next movie comes out!?! Are you team gale or peeta!? No spoilers please!!! :)

 

 

 

Date Night! What?

Yep. You read that right.

We had us a little date night tonight. :)

Im gonna leave you hanging though because I know you are SO excited to hear about my day first!

Hubs and I woke up BRIGHT and early while it was still dark and freezing and got up to go vote!

We even had to stand outside in the cold and wait for a little while, but that's much better than the 5 hour wait I heard some people had to endure!

Anyways I had to fight a biscuit battle this morning. I REALLY wanted to call it an unsual day, totally unworthy of a "healthy plan" and drive right through Bojangles and get me a Cajun Filet Biscuit. 

But I didnt.

391 calories

 

Thats two pieces of toast with B&B and one egg and a small ammount of shreadded cheese. I also made some rice for my lunch and ate half with breakfast.  Thats something my grandparents used to make me for breakfast.  I love it with salt and pepper and butter mixed in.

 

Then for lunch I decided a little trip to target was in order. :)

 

I found a couple random things I "needed".  You ladies know how that is ...

 

Note to Self: Do NOT go to Target hungry.  It will result in the purchase of popcorn.

 

252 cals for 2/3's but I think I ended up eating all of it later.

 

 

Anyways I got back and had a delicious lunch!

 

380 calories

 

Rice with progresso beef pot roast light (poured out most of the broth) heated up and poured over rice and I had two (unfortunatley) Hawaiian rolls.

 

It was very very good.  Espically on a cold rainy day.

 

Then our accountant had to have access to my computer for like 2 hours so I got a bit bored after a while. 

 

That bordeom combined with the ice cold temps in our building resluted in a cup of swiss miss.

90 cals, no pic.

 

Then I told myself if I did some work I could have my little chocolate/marshmallow snack I brought.  It was a mix of chocolate mini wheats little bites/marshmallows/mini chocolate chips.

 

around 200 cals

 

Then I was super duper tired and Hubby came home way earlier than he thought so we decided to go to the gun range and try out my new toy :)

 

 

Plus it was Ladies night and I got 1/2 price on range time.

 

Woot.

 

 

Dont mess with me and Rose.

 

:)

 

Actually Im a pretty crummy shot, but the longer I shot, the better I got!

 

We had a lot of fun.

 

Nevermind we were half way there when hubby realized he forgot our ammo and we had to go all the way back home and get it.

 

:)

 

After shooting up an appetite we stopped for Wendys. I had been craving a burger with onions and lets face it I always want fries.

 

820 calories.

Jr. Cheeseburger Deluxe with NO mayo, onion and pickle added.  Small fry.  Small chilli.

 

 

Eek. Um. I have no excuses.

 

I digress.

 

This may or may not have happened as well...

 

160 calories

 

AT LEAST it's portion controlled people!

 

:)

 

Now time to snuggle on the couch and watch the election!

 

Have a great night peeps, tommorow is hump day and that means the week is half over, hoo-ray!

 

 

Monday Madness!!

Yay Monday is officially over!

Wow, my monday was pretty crazy, how about yours?

The weather was beautiful though, I must admit!

This morning started off with another flat out wrap with cheese and turkey sausage crumbles and egg!

257 calories including FF half and half and coffee

 

Then lunch was WAY higher than I anticipated.  I should have added calories first.

 

Chicken salad=280 calories/cheese stick=60 cals/fruit cup=50 cals/crackers=140 cals and soup=160 cals.

Like I said....way too many calories and it wasnt even a big mac!!!

Ok so then I made it worse by stopping at target to get paper towels and coming out with a Starbucks Tall salted caramel mocha. 

330 cals

 

But it was OH SO DELICIOUS!!

 

Then I came home and even though it was dark me and mom went on a walk!

 

It was SO cold!

 

Then back home I made me and hubby some scrambled eggs!

 

2 eggs=140 cals BB=45 cals per tbsp Bread=150 cals

 

I had three (oops) pieces of toast with brummel and brown too. 

 

Then I wanted something sweet so I had 3/4 cup of frosted flakes with 1/2 cup of skim milk.

110 cals for cereal and 40 cals for milk

 

I cleaned up the kitchen and am cleaning out hubbys lunch box cooler thing and getting ready to put up some laundry and call it a night.

 

We have to get up early to go VOTE!! 

 

Yay for Election day!! Go out there and vote...for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!

 

Our country needs us and it's our responsibility to vote!  It's a priveledge!

 

We are so blessed to be in the United States of America!

 

God bless you all and good night!

 

 

Super Duper Sunday!

Happy Sunday peeps!

We had a great one ourselves. 

It all started with an extra hour of sleep :)

Lovin that.

Then we got up and got ready for church!  We have been church hopping latley trying to see where God is leading us to go. 

We decided to go to my parents church again and visit a sunday school class we had been to before that is taught by some sweet friends of ours. 

Breakfast was in a rush.  I made a mug of skim milk with little bites chocolate mini wheats. 


However I had about 3-4 bites of it before we had to run out the door.  I knew it would be a while before lunch so I grabbed one of hubs lunch cracker packs and got in the car.  I had four crackers and he had two!

190 if you eat the whole pack

 

Church was great!!!

 

Then we went to my parents to eat lunch, they had invited us over for chicken. 

 

Didn't yall know that Baptists eat chicken on sunday?

 

Yeah, y'all know me, it usually ends up being chicken FIJITAS. haha.

 

But I love me some good ole fried chicken any day.

 

Well my parents are pretty health concions too luckilly, so we had grilled!

 

Unfortunatly I scarfed it all before I took a pic. 

 

 

 

 

I had a breast and leg, both with hot sauce, and I actually had a few bites from a thigh that I gave to hubs.  I had one and a half biscuits (no bueno) and a small ammount of green beans and a real small ammount of mashed taters drizzled in gravy.

 

I have discovered I like dousing chicken in hot sauce.

 

Very low cal too.

 

Anyways then we went to walmart and got a few things we needed and came home and I left and went to my NEW fave store, COSTCO!!! :)

 

I got a pretty good deal on some stuff yall. 

 

I got 150 face wipes for 11.49.  I think thats like 13 cent a wipe and I LOVE these.

Better than Neutrogena, better than walmart brand, better than target brand.  They are thick and moist and do a great job and dont burn my eyes!  They are by kirkland I think.

 

Also yall know I have to have my gum, ALSO got that on a great deal.

 

I got some other things like toilit paper (we should be good for the rest of the year LOL) and tuna, and costco brand of vitamin water for hubs to take to work, a jug of milk for 2.75! Jacks salsa...heard great things about that salsa...and just random stuff I needed. 

 

I RESISTED getting the berry sunday (Oh its so good and cheap) and instead got a diet coke on the way out. I had already had a SMALL piece of a fruit tart at Mom's and most of a hershey cookie and cream bar that I am blaming on hubby for whining about while we were in line at walmart.

 

I got home and we had the angus burger patties from costco and made hamburgers with natures own whole wheat bread, reduced fat mayo, ketchup, mustard, onions, dill pickles and sauteed mushrooms!

We had lays light chips on the side. 

 

chips=75 cals, bread=100 cals burger patty=280 and toppings=100 estimated.

Diet coke from Costco.

 

Then I cleaned the house a bit and put everything away and made room for my overflowing stock of things from Costco haha.

 

I hope yall had a great weekend and are ready for a fabulous week!!!

 

 

Birthday's & Hospitals

Happy Birthday to my Beautiful Mother!!!!!!!!!

 

She is an angel and I love her SO much!!!!  We had so much fun celebrating her today!!!

 

Of course I had to get through three hours of work first!

 

370 cals for the sausage mcmuffin

 

Breakfast wasnt the healthiest thing but could have been worse with some hashbrowns or biscuits involved...so.

 

Then I met up with Mom and all my aunts/some cousins at Grandmas nursing home so that I could get the tail end of Mom's "Sister Party".

 

My Mom is one of 5 girls and they all get together for each others birthday :) 

 

Me and Mom and Aunt Delanda up top!

 

My other sweet Aunts from left to right: Brenda, Debbie, ME, and Lavone

 

They are all so sweet.

 

Then, cant forget the Queen Bee.

 

Sweet Marie :)

 

Ah, I know you all are in love with Grandma by now.

 

 

I know I am.

 

So, the girls had a huge spread of donuts, a fruit tart, and Panera bagles :)

 

I had half a donut with pink frosting and half a cinnamon crunch bagel with the honey walnut cream cheese.

 

You just cant refuse free panera :) Am I right?

 

So around 3 I got hungry and prepared a flat out pizza.

 

Flat out=90 cals turkey pep=35 turkey sausage=35 cheese=40 sauce=25

 

It hit the spot!

 

Then me and Mom went for our walk.

 

I came home and got ready to go out for her birthday!!

 

We went to Longhorn Steakhouse!

 

We had free apps from their email thing and we all got the wild west shrimp.

 

 

Um yes that would be ranch.  This is where I pretty much throw my diet out the window, so to speak.

 

However, I still hung on to a "plan"

 

I got the side salad with fat free ranch.

 

The FF ranch was gross so I asked for regular and only used about 1.5 tbsp. 

 

I had a lil bit of bread.

 

Then my steak came.  I got the flavorful under 500 and it was the Renegade 6oz I believe?

 

I also got green beans with it.

 

Im sorry yall but Im not citified enough to enjoy crisp green beans yet.

 

I like my green giant canned ones just fine.

 

These I didnt eat much of.

 

 

But the steak was really good!

 

Hubs got the napa valley chicken and it was great too.  Everything was so good.

 

Then we sampled a plethora of cupcakes.

 

 

After we sang to the Birthday Girl.

 

 

Happy Birthday Mom! I love you!!!

 

Unfortunatly right before we went to eat I got a phone call that my sweet Aunt Brenda who I had just been with hours before was in the HOSPITAL!

 

She wasnt feeling well after lunch today, sort of like a dizzy feeling but just kind of disconnected from herself and didnt think she could walk out! My uncle had to call 911.  So we went and saw her as soon as we were done eating!

 

My aunt Brenda is my moms older sister (in the picture of my aunts) and she is pretty much the glue of the family, espically right now with Grandma in rehab.

She has been going up there almost every single day to see her and just wearing herself out.  I hope its just stress and that she will be ok after resting at home.  They let her go but if any symptoms come back she is to return. 

 

I get so worried about her though, she babysat me all the time growing up when my mom had to work two jobs to support me and we are very close. I love my BB (what I have called her since I was a child).  My whole family is very close knit and I am extreemly lucky to have such a loving support group. 

 

Please pray for her if you think about it :) 

 

Well lovelies, we are home now, relaxing watching LSU/BAMA. 

 

ROLL TIDE!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Early Anniversary Present!!

Happy Friday my lovelies!!

Today has been fantastic!!!!

I am also pleased to report despite feeling like POO this morning I got my hiney up at the crack of dawn and nearly froze driving to the gym. SO DIDNT WANT TO GO.  But I got in my hour with Mr. Treadmill. Yes I did. 307 cals torched.

Breakfast was a flat out wrap with : Turkey sausage crumbles, cheese and egg with Franks Red Hot sauce

Flat out=90,sausage=35, egg=70, cheese=40 calories

 

Lunch was a sweet onion chicken sub and broccoli and cheddar soup and I had a crazy lunch time and forgot to take a pic :(

 

Empty bowl :)

Sub=410 soup=180 calories

 

For a snack I had a cheese stick=60 and 5 ritz reducded fat crackers=70

 

Then I came home...and HUBBY could barely contain his excitement.

 

This anniversary present he has been sneaking around getting for me FINALLY came in and he was like a kid at Christmas.

 

He was like..."Do you want it now?"

 

I was like..."Um ok" :) heheeh

 

He was all worried that I wouldnt like it because its not a traditional anniversary present.

 

Pshhh. Whatever.

 

This thing is BOSS.

 

 

I named her Rose.

 

Her other name is a Walther P 22.

 

Freakin awesome.

 

See, me and hubs have a little gun range hobby.

 

Except his gun is big and has an HORRIBLE kick back for lil ole me.

 

This girl is perfect.

 

I could NOT be happier.

 

I cant wait to get my concealed carry permit!

 

But do NOT worry.

 

We are extreemly careful and always keep them in a case. 

 

Gun safety is and should be a #1 priority. 

 

 

This is me shooting his gun at our shooting range.

 

I love that we love doing this together.

And ladies, there is something awesome about knowing how to shoot a gun and not being AFRAID of guns because you dont know how to use them. 

 

After all my excitement we went to Red Bowl to get some dinner and do some shopping for Mama's Bday tommorow!

 

Salad with ginger dressing =35 cals estimated due to ammt of dressing I used.

 

And sesame chicken with white rice

 

I ate estimated 343 cals of chicken and like 160 cals of rice I think?

 

We also had potstickers for an app and I had a spring roll. Check out MFP for further details. LOL.

 

I resisted a cupcake from the Sugar Shack when I went to get Mom's but I will probably eat one tommorow :) I plan on getting to the gym tommorow afternoon and a walk with mom. 

 

Have a good night lovelies!!!

 

What's the best present you ever recieved?

 

 

 

Hello November my favorite month EVER!

Hello beautimous people!!

And welcome to my favorite month of the year. 

And why is November your favorite you may ask?

Is it your birthday?

Nope. 

It's Mom's Birthday, Election Day!, The Southern Christmas Show, Our 6th Anniversary, Vacation & Thanksgiving!!!! All rolled into one fabulous month!! So many things to be excited for!

Anyways!

Breakfast was a total fail.  I tried an older packet of oatmeal and it tasted really salty...so I decided to not eat that.

Instead I had crackers and a reduced fat cheese stick. 

280 calories including my creamer in my coffee

 

Then I had to run to the mall to grab a last minute bday gift and some of Bath and Body Works new Christmas Soaps!

 

0 calories (haha)

 

So I decided to pick up some Chickfila for lunch!  I had a coupon for a free small drink and I was in a big rush this morning and didn't pack anything.

 

450 calories + 100 calories for Reduced Fat Honey Mustard Dressing

 

Which I dont know if I even had that many calories because i think that Chickfila includes the sunflower seeds and crutons into their calories, which I don't eat.  But I had about half a pack of bbq sauce.  I got the chicken tender salad or whatever its called.  NOT grilled. I HATE the grilled chicken (only on the salads)  it grosses me OUT THE DOOR!

 

Ok so no snacking today :) YAY!

 

Then I went to kickboxing and burned 830 calories according to MFP.

 

Hollaaaa atcha girl.

 

Then came home and made these awesome flat out pizzas that I have been craving ever since Alissa ate them the other day!

 

568 calories

 

Yes, I totally ate both.  They have the following toppings:  Classico spaghetti sauce, arugula/spinach mix, onions, roasted red peppers, turkey sausage, turkey pepporonni, mozzarella cheese. 

 

It was really good. 

 

For good measure, just because I didn't want to be TOO perfect today (yeah, right hahaha) I decided to eat a Reese cup (these are even smaller than normal ones).

 

105 calories

 

I put the cat in the picture so you could see a softer side of my little terror.  :)

 

I LOVE A DAY ON PLAN!!

 

Nighty Night !!!
