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!
I LOVE tots too! I’m a huge sonic fan b/c of the tot option. When I’m in the mood I often annoy Johnny w/ several chants of “TOTS TOTS TOTS!” hehe He usually caves. š
Your momma looks so pretty and young!! I could not handle 2 babies at once let alone make their clothes too! Super woman!
Satisfying your burger craving has now caused me to have one! It’s urgent! Love that pic of your Mom holding you both–you guys were so cute!
Summer of ’68? I was actually only 27…. and probably weighed about 95 lbs. When I first looked at the photo, I thought “Beth’s on the right” — but now that I see it again, I’m pretty sure that’s Beth on the left, Jenn on the right.
Thanks Momma! And yes – you are correct – not quite 28 – sorry! š
That burger looks amazing! I just might have to try that “sauce” of ketchup and mustard. I love it on burgers so I am sure it would be perfect for dipping. š
I love that picture with your mom! Thanks for sharing.
Love tater tots! Potatoes are so amazing. Is there anything they can’t do?
AWWWW!!!!! You and Jenn were soooo cute! Which twin is which?
Probably only my brother could tell – he always was able to tell us apart!
Nana looks like she’s about 16 in this picture. Crazy!
Stop the presses – my step-son left a comment! š Hey Joe! I love you!
No your mom is NOT 28 there, she looks so young! Wow! I am behind reading blogs too, I hope to catch up this weekend. Last night I launched my cookingsalon.com so I think I will actually take today off! I did see the Royal Wedding at 4am this morning. I need a nap now! Have a great weekend!
It is FINALLY beautiful here after a whole week of rain and the thickest fog I can remember. We are looking forward to grilling a bunch this weekend.
You girls sure do look cute in that photo! Have a great weekend Biz.
Hahaha!! I’m the same way – I don’t ever buy any of the foods that I don’t like! Lol.
Tots reign supreme. LOVE. š
I think just about everyone I know has got the blues from the weather. It actually snowed around here a couple of days ago. š
Have a great weekend, Biz!
OMG – how cute are you girls?!
you gotta love the tots!!!
What a great picture – your mom looks like she’s the babysitter, not the mother of those two cuties!
Have a great day!
Glad you were able to enjoy your free week gym pass! I still they should give y’all a better deal… Those tostadas look super yummy- what a perfect lunch. And I haven’t had tater tots in ages. They are ridiculous good. I actually love them with breakfast š Cute flashback picture. My Mom used to make a lot of her own clothes- I think that is so awesome
Which one is me? I can’t tell š
Mom looks so young there!
I have no idea! š
Gotta love tots… š
Tater tots remind me of when the teenager was little… It seems like yesterday, yet so long ago… And a burger sounds delicious, too! In fact, the toddler has been mentioning burgers for weeks now. It’s about time I make some!
Love the pic of you, your mom and your sister! She looks so young! And you guys are just soooo adorable!!!
Wow, that’s a really pretty tomato for April.
I’ve been craving a burger topped with blue cheese all week! Finally picked up some blue cheese, so today is the day! Mmmm…can’t wait!
Enjoy your last day at the gym, Biz! Have a great weekend!
