Wow, thanks for all of your comments on my last post!! I have the best cheerleaders! 😀
What made yesterday a great day? I brought these for my desk!

And it was a re-run for breakfast!
I realized that I never showed you what the inside of the roll looks like! Yesterday I shredded 5 ounces of zucchini, squeezed it dry and added it to my egg whites. Its Wisconsin American cheese on top! 😀

And it was birthday treat day yesterday at my office. While I was eyeing the chocolate chip muffin, I grabbed some fruit:
Fresh fruit just makes me think of summer for some reason! But it is definitely still winter here. My friend and I walked outside for 45 minutes yesterday – we have to walk through this snow path to get to the road where we walk:
There are a few hills too:
It was close to 40 degrees – I almost took my jacket off at the end of the walk because I was hot! Now I am just waiting for all the snow to melt! 😀
I had shrimp stir-fry for lunch. I used 1/2 a package of yaki soba noodles (only 75 calories and 15 carbs) and tossed that with 3 ounces of shrimp, 3 ounces of broccoli, 3 ounces of broccoli slaw, and 2 tablespoons House of Tsang schezchwan sauce – delicious!

But around 4:00 I was STARVING! I looked in my desk drawer, and ate about 1 ounce of Sophia’s granola – that hit the spot!
Can I say how much I love leaving work when it is still light out??!!
Hannah and I had our final meeting about the German Exchange program last night – our student will arrive in one month!! We pick her up at the airport on March 18 – have a welcome dinner on my birthday – March 19! She’ll be with us for 3 weeks. She sent Hannah and email that said “tell your Mum I don’t expect a hot meal every night.” She has no idea what she is in store for!
So dinner was quick – last summer I made gyros burgers and they turned out really good! While I missed the flavor of the grill, these were still good. The only thing I did differently was add a teaspoon of this:
I have no idea what’s in it, because the ingredient list says “spices.” Thanks!

I had the deep fryer on the counter (I must put that away!) so I hand cut some potatoes and had fries on the side – mine weighed in at 1.5 ounces – on caloriecount I just enter them as 1.5 of McDonald’s fries.
My burger: 3 ounces of beef, 1 arnold thin, cucumber on the bottom and 1 tablespoon of tzatziki sauce.
Before our meeting, Hannah and I went to 7-11 to cash in my lotto winnings and pick up some coffee. I found a new International Delight flavor – love it!

I am especially interested in reading this article though!
Stats for Thursday: 45 minute walk at lunch

What great looking – and I am sure tasting – food you had!! And also a beautiful day to take a walk. Thanks for the photos.
i love the shredded zucchini in that sandwich, i’ve been wanting to find a way to incorporate veggies into breakfast. good girl on your A! i need to start really tracking how i’m doing too because i’m a cheater!
Your breakfast sandwich looks so good! So does that shrimp stir fry *drooooooooool*
I haven’t celebrated Lent since I was a kid. But even then, my parents weren’t strict about it lol. We were lazy Catholics. 🙂
