I’ve been working on this never ending project at work – so much so that I barely went online all day – so I was so happy to see that so many people would come to my rescue and help me kick some serious ass to some a-hole teenagers! And I love that a bunch of you are not afraid to use foul language! š I normally swear like a truck drive, but for respect of my Mom and MIL, I try to keep it at a minimum. š
For the record, here was my running outfit (um, sans the flip flops!)
Yep, I am still rocking the farmers tan from Hannah’s graduation last year. š
I love exercise TV – I literally have at least 100 different workouts to choose from, but the one I did yesterday was called 10 pounds slim down total body. It was 25 minutes long, and holy cow it was intense. I don’t know if I’ve told you this, but Tony sets the central air at 79 degrees overnight – so when I was doing my workout it was as if I was in a hot yoga room – felt good though! Lot’s of lunges which I am not usually a fan of, but kicked my butt.
When we were at the grocery store last weekend, Tony picked up these Eggo Muffins – they were whole grain – I thought maybe they would be 2 points each, but they were 6 points for 2, but still worth it. I made an egg sammie with ham and cheese and an egg and blueberries and grapes on the side – breakfast comes in at 11 points.
The weather was so perfect yesterday – 77 degrees, big puffy clouds. I hadn’t ridden my bike in a while since I’ve been loving running, so I headed out for an 8 mile ride at lunch – let’s just say I am a bit less sweaty when I ride the bike. And I could feel my legs from all the lunges I did in the morning – took me about a mile to loosen up, but it was a great ride.
I had a chicken “taco” salad. Not really – it was 5 ounces of chicken breast with romaine, carrots, light ranch dressing mixed with taco sauce, a little bit of cheese and cherry peppers. This whole bowl was only 7 points.
I love getting mail and when I got home there was an envelope from Rachel, one of our 101 Days of Summer challengers. She sent me a page from Rachael Ray’s magazine (probably the one cooking magazine I don’t get!) because it was all about the chiles! I am definitely making the shrimp curry dish and southwest meatballs for my lunch next week – thanks for thinking of me Rachel! š
I have no idea how the onions got scratched out of either of these recipes. š I love it when readers send me emails with Reuben recipes (thanks Krista!) or tell me they were at the store and saw hot sauce and thought of me. š
Because my lunch was so light, I was hungry when I got home. I had deli roast beef so decided to make beef sandwiches. I like to have these gravy/sauce mixes on hand – I usually stock up when they are 10 for $10.
My 14 point dinner with a serving of tots:
I am so excited because I get to see my step-son Joe today! He and his fiance came in from Texas earlier in the week and we are having a bbq tomorrow – his fiance Lizz hasn’t met Tony’s sisters family yet.
Not only am I having a bbq, but I need to cook up my SIL’s lunches for the next week and my friend and co-worker is having surgery next week, so I am making her husband some homemade frozen pizzas to help them out – so I am going to be Bizzy in my Kitchen and that couldn’t make me happier. š
Stats for the Day:
- 34 points
- 25 minute total body workout
- 50 minute 8 mile bike at lunch
- average blood sugar 121
Time to get ready for work – seriously thank you for all your wonderful comments yesterday – it really made my day! And Tony gave me extra hugs when I got home and told me I was beautiful. Love!
Looking great! Looking great while whipping up waffle sammies. Great idea.
Geez Biz, you do not have a muffin top at all! Your abs are looking awesome – you keep wearing those tops because you are rockin’ them!!!
You’re lookin’ good lady !!! š
You ARE beautiful Vat, inside and out!!!!!!!!! Hugs!
Somebody needs glasses. I see no fatty, not even a muffin top. You are beautiful and you look fit, fabulous, and healthy.
If it happens again, give them the bird and laugh.
Hey I think you look great in those workout clothes!! And DO NOT let idiots deter you from anything!!!
You totally rock that running outfit Biz!!! Enjoy the weekend!!
I used to buy the Nutragain low fat waffles all the time…when ww was not on the pp system. I have no idea how much they are now…cuz I haven’t bought them…but they were good and I used to make sammies like that too!
You look great, Biz! Those kids are nuts!
And to use a waffle for a breakfast sandwich is genius! I love it!
Holy Cow – if they yelled Fatty at you – I better never go out on the streets because I’d hate to hear what they’d call me. You look great. I am so inspired by all the cooking you do for other people. I need to have a few friends over for dinner.
You really do look good, and very buff in the running outfit. What a great idea to use waffles for the morning samwich – I may have to try that.
I’m not a tater tot fan, but yours look great, all brown and crispy. Have a great weekend!
You are beautiful, Biz! LOVING the tan lines you have…still! Bahahaha! I shouldn’t laugh too hard though, I have permanant sports bra tan lines on my back. The older ladies like to comment when I wear tanks or dresses. Little do they know, it’s from kicking ass š
Yep, I’m always on the lookout for the Buffalo Tabasco…or whatever the one is that you can’t find! They don’t sell it in Raleigh either, I don’t think!
Those kids were either stoned, delusional or both. I would yelled back “I’ll stop running when you stop doing bong hits!” and then sped up. giggle
You look fabulous – everyone should eat and exercise as healthy as you.
And I ignored ALL your pictures today because I promised Pooldad I would not drool on this netbook. [Okay I peeked at the roast beef sandwich. :running for a paper towel:] heehee
I just told my Mom and Josh about those kids- I still can’t believe that BS. Any who. What a fun breakfast. And tots! I want to buy a bag Have fun with Joe
You looked great in that pic. Those little punks need to know what a real woman looks like. What is it with teens now days..omg…I say now days..I am officially old..lol
Enjoy your weekend biz š
You look awesome! Seriously. Have a great weekend!!
You look great in that outfit! Stupid teenagers! I am glad that you are feeling great….We love us some BIZ!
I think you look great!
And hey, I got the granola yesterday. Thank’s much!
You look great in your running outfit – can definitely see your weight loss!
Have fun doing all that cooking this weekend. I’m planning on doing the same as our temps have finally dropped a bit too so it makes being in my unairconditioned kitchen more bearable!
Your husband is right, you *are* beautiful. Isn’t it nice when someone reminds us of that. š By the way, you have really been inspiring me to get multiple workouts in a day and I feel great. Thanks for that!
