Yep, the day after Thanksgiving and it’s officially snowman time! I switch purses:
And I brought out my first snowman! He’s skating, but I just love his face! 
After a leisurely morning, I finally made breakfast around 10. 1.5 ounces of my homemade bread, 1.5 ounces sliced ham, 1 Pam fried egg and 1 ounce of mozzarella with half an apple. Even though you can’t see it, the HAM was the star of this sammie! Much to Tony’s dismay, I plan on making ham macaroni and cheese with some of the rest of the leftovers!
Then I had a project that was on my list of things to do while I was off of work: THE BASEMENT! While the rest of our house is always in a pretty clean state, the basement over time just becomes a dumping ground. And as the piles get bigger, the less enthused I am to do anything about it. And poor Hannah, my Type A neat freak sighs every time she walks down there! But today was the day! And seriously, all told, I probably was only down there a total of four hours! But in that 4 hours I managed to bag thirteen bags of garbage! Plastic containers with no lids, art supplies that have long dried up – all gone! It feels good!
By then I was starving. We decided to meet up with Hannah after her work. While this place is famous for its wings, Tony and I hate that the sauce they put on just pools in the bottom of the basket. So I went with:
Holy cow was this good! I had it Southwest, which had pepper jack cheese, onion straws (think tiny straight onion rings) and a spicy southwest ranch sauce. While I had every intention of eating half of it, before I knew it, it was all gone! Along with about 10 curly fries!
I didn’t feel overly stuffed at the time, but about an hour later, I was STUFFED! So I felt guilty and went to the gym! I did the elliptical:
And burned this many calories:
I then did 5 minutes of abs on the balance ball – I felt a whole lot better! And I am still not hungry, so I may have a 300 calorie snack later on tonight.
Stats for the Day:
- 1,131 calories (+300 later on)
- 45 fat
- 110 carbs
- 71 protein
- 6 fiber
- 45 minute elliptical
- 5 minute abs
- 15 minute walk with the dog
Hannah has no work tomorrow – she’s been working so much this week we haven’t spent hardly any time together. So our plan is to hit TONS of thrift stores tomorrow and go to Tree Classics to maybe get some LED lights for our deck. Hope everyone enjoyed their Friday and didn’t have to work! See you tomorrow.
Your bag is quite cute. Snowmen are totally my holiday theme. I usually put a few out in the front year and then have a few that get placed throughout the house.
happy thanksgiving biz!!! OMG i cant believe about your sis!! i hate jerky S.O.s..
nice job on the ellipitical!!!
Snowmen are totally cute! I like them too
Good job on doing the elliptical for 45 minutes – I usually do it for about 10 and I get so, so, so bored and give up! Oops
I am so ADD I don’t think I could ever last 45 minutes on one machine – good going with the elliptical! Nothing like some exercise to help with the food guilts, lol!
Good job, Biz! Both on the basement and the elliptical!
wow cleaning for hours and a workout… I took a nap for 45 minutes, and now feel guilty
continue the great work
I am obsessed with snowmen! Starting my own little collection now since I am recently married.
WOW! 13 bags of garbage!! That’s great that you were able to get so much done!! Way to go on the workout also!!
I’m sure you burned 400 calories cleaning that basement.
You are making me feel guilty! You cleaned AND exercised? You get a halo!
WOW! Way to go with cleaning the basement!! Doesn’t it feel so nice once the cleaning is done and you’ve thrown out a lot of stuff? I love that!
Hope you and Hannah enjoy your day together
I am so glad all of the Christmas stuff is now ok to bring out!!!
Abs exercises are a good time. Holidays are so cheery!
I love your snowmen purse! There is just something about snowmen that makes me happy!
I hope you and Hannah had a blast!
Very cool! You are so ambitious! Adelante!
[...] Snowmen! [...]
