Work is so busy but I am thankful that my day goes by fast! Because I am so busy I haven’t had the time to stop by your blogs and see what you guys are up to – I promise to catch up over the weekend! š
I didn’t have bagel Wednesday this week because I knew I was having pasta for lunch that day and I try to spread out my carb intake. I knew there were going to be leftover bagels at work, so I just made an egg beater/spinach patty at home, then assembled my breakfast sammie at work – topped with a slice of swiss cheese. Breakfast comes in at 8 PointsPlus.
I went to the gym with my co-worker – today is my last free pass then next week I’ll have to get to the gym by my house in the morning before work, and then find a place to walk during lunch. I ended up running a 5k on the treadmill in 38:17 – not bad! š
More leftovers! It was so weird not to have a real meal plan this week since I only grocery shopped for Easter. We still had some leftover chicken tacos (the kind Hannah and Tony had) and I ended up making chicken tostadas – two tostadas came in at 9 PointsPlus.
It’s been so cold and rainy in Chicagoland – I am really, really getting sick of it. I have been craving a burger all week, so I stopped at the store on my way home for some ground beef and buns. Here is something weird about me – if I don’t like something, I typically won’t buy it – I don’t like tuna, mayo or sliced tomatoes, and Tony loves all three. I had some tomatoes from Easter that I didn’t use – even though it felt like winter outside, just the look of these tomatoes screams summer.
It’s no secret I love tater tots. And specifically the OreIda brand that are extra crunchy. If we are at a restaurant and I have the option of tots, I get them every time. š
So my plate is a 4 oz. burger, swiss cheese, the bun and tots – the tots were dipped into my own dipping sauce – ketchup and mustard mixed together with salt and pepper. The first time Tony saw me do that I think he questioned the fact of why he was with me! š Dinner comes in at 13 points.
Now it’s time for Flashback Friday! š I hope my Momma doesn’t mind. This picture is from the summer of 1968 – my Mom was a young 28 years old in this picture. It’s weird to think that now I am 15 years older than my Mom was in that picture! And she sewed most of our clothes when we were little – like the outfits we are sporting in this pic. š
Stats for Thursday:
- 30 points
- 45 minute treadmill at lunch, 3.4 miles all together š
- average blood sugar 132
I am going to WW tomorrow and will post tomorrow with my WI – as well as announce the winner of my Cheese Giveaway that I totally forgot about with all the work drama. So you still have time to enter your favorite cheese recipe for a chance to win a $25 gift basket from Cabot cheese! Thanks Randi for the reminder!
Happy Friday!
Tostadas sound so good!
I love the pic of you girls and your mom! So sweet!
I haven’t had Tator tots in ages! They look so good! Perfect with burgers!!
I’m behind on blogs too – work has been really busy! I’m glad your days are flying by, though š And great 5k time!! Awesome!!! š Good luck at WI tomorrow! I’m going too…ugh. š
You Mom looks like the older sister in that pic’. Just lovely.
I love a good burger, but have yet to find a tomato, even in the summer that tastes like a tomato – so I have stopped buying them. I really like onion and mustard on my burger anyway.
We are having teriyaki chicken on the grill tonight. YUM – and it makes the best chicken salad.
I’m with you. I am so over this rainy weather. It’s also been awful because I’m experiencing allergies for the first time. Not sure if the two are correlated but it’suspicious to me that both are happening.
