I slept like a rock last night and it felt great! Woke up, hopped out of bed, and hit the gym for a quick 20 minute interval run! Boy do those really get my heart pumping.
Did you know interval training not only elevates your metabolism for a longer period of time after exercise (so you burn more fat when resting), but it also keep your body from using muscle as fuel! Learned that in my Oxygen magazine last month!
After my quicky run I made my usual oatmeal with PB2 and a small sliced banana for 4 points.
I was uber productive this morning at work. Not that I am not always productive, it just seemed like I was EXTRA today!! :)
My first morning snack was 1 cup of grapes for 1 point. These are some of the smallest grapes I've had before, but they are SUPER crisp! Doesn't usually happen that way.
About 1 1/2 hours later I had ww strawberry yogurt with 1/4c of grapes nuts for 2 points.
I ran a few errands on my lunch and stopped home to let my pup out. Since I had minimal time at home I went for a SmartOnes, not the best choice, but still within my points.
While it was cooking I had a few slices of fresh pineapple (1 point) my sweet neighbor gave us!
And the main course was creamy rigatoni with broccoli and chicken for 5 points.
Check out how foggy it was today? This was about 2pm…are you sure this is Iowa & not London?!?!?
My afternoon flew by and I headed home. I had a Fiber Plus bar for 2 points to hold me over while Kyle & I stopped over at a friend’s house. 
We ended up staying a little longer than expected so our supper was quite late! So I made a fast supper. I had 1c cooked whole wheat pasta & 1/2c marinara sauce for 4 points.
We are now settled in watching the Biggest Loser. Which makes me think I need to get my gym bag packed…later friends!
