Sluggish Start to a Excellent End

<p>So this morning I wanted to hit the gym extra early so I could get to work early to get a few extra things done. So I thought I set my alarm for 5am (usually I get up at 5:40) but when I rolled over it was almost 6am! I didn’t set my alarm. :( So I got up and got lots done at my office before the work day began! </p> <p>I made my <strong>outstanding oatmeal</strong> (<strong>4 points</strong>), but this morning I used <strong>chocolate PB2</strong>! A little something special for Friday! ;)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqUgTNhauCTrv4hAWbNiPL_GiFEX95rXoOrs2NmbqJc5LU9ps-l6zOnHVRvbr7pT7tQUpJCom-WZk4uHvSdyn4NnMPukZH-IDZl1neYg01SCKR0J3diDv9iR_-B9gnCjw7J_ShCvExZH6G/s1600-h/DSC05797%5B1%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC05797" border="0" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGWg_DH-4SZQ7xPBqcxiCNHoWGhYDaPyvrdT8rumWHL0NsrKlFONEYiiZIs7PZR1HKN8nVqb9_zih656xjmnpbfHto9rJZFoQGNetwFOsNPoZgrlcI4DVOVP3ej2URQtXZi4Vws2jNln8d/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC05797" width="404" /></a></p> <p>I was <strong>SUPER</strong> <u>tired</u> and <u>groggy</u> all day! Which is quite ironic since I got some extra z’s last night! But I really think it was because I didn’t get my morning workout in! Since my morning was <em>d-r-a-g-g-i-n-g</em> on, I had my snack very early!  I use the other <strong>half</strong> of the sample box of<strong> Kashi cereal</strong> and mixed it with <strong>yogurt</strong> for <strong>3 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxgmsZrWEbfcLNOHqZU-bcVO5r6gWzzVUqL3sA8JCWrc7ytQq93KS6hQI6pfL5zGvluubGnXUDjKwFwyOXOAio2zxLHPWcUM6hVTPCmXRWNiW80jYq38zvugqO-eMZn5o02VxriQ6MlXg6/s1600-h/DSC05798%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC05798" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUPPnlzD-BubDNZD1Y15Xp9mAktyBRdQFkFGmWNic98pRwrPrfMIaRQiaTtCzoOAqOITxHKWjmcYDZUs3UEao04wb5RGWL4guHHN9eW5JQDAYKS-2FBIG0_neNXZqoSGm77r_plBJXCOaA/?imgmax=800" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px" title="DSC05798" width="404" /></a> </p> <p>I don’t think it helped my sluggish morning that I was working on a<strong> never ending</strong> report! So I had 2 snacks today, 2nd round was a <strong>cup</strong> of <strong>grapes</strong> for <strong>1 point</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYvy1QMPPChrQ8Tr0Bv3IbIwKLuaao7jP3gC7cQo33yzMxKL5g77GD-HgBi8ITxQQw4gvoc21Q3Pw7qPq8QFj0_b9Pg8_Hpj46D2flDmuuSoQD-DOYu2cM0oh3oE_jvdvxIHoDUeE01YYR/s1600-h/DSC05799%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC05799" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicXETFxUYmq_5HpULI3hnb3thoPEliCejkh7CHVA5QbxmiUReU55hD38ldQ3Jy90x_DJZssKq0Rlb-ZcjhJu7T_TkhAt-NXLuKUUcz5_6l3CHOxaahND2cUc5BzYTJnhEPnU6K9rIEIROV/?imgmax=800" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px" title="DSC05799" width="404" /></a></p> <p>I went home for lunch hoping it would wake me up. I wasn’t really up for making anything so I took the easy way out and heated up a <strong>SmartOnes</strong> (<strong>5 points</strong>). I hadn’t tried this one before and probably <strong>won’t buy</strong> it again. It had fake little meat balls that were <strong>NOT</strong> good at all.  I also had some <strong>string cheese</strong> and a <strong>fiber one bar</strong> while my dinner was cooking…evidentially 3 minutes wasn’t fast enough for me today(<strong>3 points</strong>)! ;)<img alt="DSC05802" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtS347JReIQA884BFB7D7b0GaxBo9PkGyYD_mD2wmWe2V0SRqBvTj4_HeYYUXi_nHsD-NMn-AnaS6HFU6kDrmv2fvyp7nhg1wWyEATJlewA4BrPSYE8HEVe9Uhmm-BY6nC3P5TNMUIWESC/?imgmax=800" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px" title="DSC05802" width="404" /><img alt="DSC05803" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEowqcmVkA2OtsiIBpHJ5m_a2YjiPyoragXVG9pvETlNwQL6xC_cCXpMj_B9AyvC9NWferwez4XgDl24GQ-78CUIlNjKsxVVBxDTDbshD82KMDpeE3jdfFhi2d3je-qSWyAm29t5GsRfrs/?imgmax=800" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px" title="DSC05803" width="404" /></p> <p>One thing good about my lunch is that it was pretty late! So when I got back to work I had less than 2 hours of the work day left! I got through it with my favorite “<strong>pick me up</strong>”!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO4xbvHxB4SCMMnFJHf5QueP6GUWGeqmffGOW3BcURwVFSeuXyYiRhoOGhIDEwucykTjm-6ohOVw3syHYk8zOjKOh5tQTnKiqX8NAmMKlNbfUkMoec4Sysy-5E5EWoOR6k-uajXMQH57eF/s1600-h/DSC05804%5B1%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC05804" border="0" height="305" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdCaoVa_BOKiB1TwurXw03GlMktUzAu_4XMHtWYfcjsbqQ1mpIQynl37YOzPWuTIIGMzJh6ARfNgBLZqjzIHM50dRP5Ek303VXTwzrp14vSZMWoft1YcrcARAgM5_LD3cW0NknzQLbHBp5/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC05804" width="404" /></a></p> <p>4:30 finally came around and I was outta there! I don’t like days like that! Normally my days at work FLY!!! But not today. I guess if I only have 1 or 2 every 3 or 4 months I am ok with that! Kyle and I had dinner plans with some friends, but not till 7pm. So I spent the time<strong> catching up</strong> on the phone with my <strong>sister</strong> and cleaned up a bit. </p> <p>Our dinner date was <strong>FUN</strong>! It was with some friends from church who we’ve known a long time, but haven’t really hung out with much. I think that may change now though, we all had a really good time! We were there for <strong>over 2 hours</strong> just chatting away!! I ordered the garlic herb chicken for <strong>7 points</strong>. So good!<img alt="" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK0aGpXCyzthGhfb-rPAQs9a6WPJPW_EvQfLlIMulVWsRqpuAT0hAO8st781lrFq-5UeJqK9V0WznaY5HppRuaO9aIvBONBEY3C6-PZ8s1tQORGzuWx8Zx8g1O_G2gWhZp75Tkd8KM-irl/s320/DSC01479.JPG" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" width="400" /></p> <p>It was after 9:15 by the time we left. Kyle and I both were craving ice cream so we stopped at the grocery store and each got our own! I got <strong>Blue Bunny light vanilla</strong> and Kyle got chocolate caramel commotion. Mine was <strong>2 points/half cup</strong>, Kyle’s was 4 points/half cup! I choose mine! I topped it off with a <strong>small sliced banana</strong> and a <strong>tbs</strong> of <strong>light chocolate syrup</strong>. Total sundae was only<strong> 3 points</strong>! Supper yummy and totally satisfied my hankering for ice cream!! <img alt="DSC05807" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiszm4Ac_zhIkiGUJNMx-GtsRv3pmjEgahaYDADQTBZpL9BVCkMQhdujJ6YpCoLhJnNUQnuRcXG5CoLhFZdJYUewgbQzqxTNYLK9CZ36CNLFGG48zX40NyvGfjypHg3EjSWoq8UdAFIcSZN/?imgmax=800" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px" title="DSC05807" width="404" /><img alt="DSC05809" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ8uB_I_SFV8-RKrR9cV5mPWii2YEmYAUwME1mbKYv3NxPUFVy6or6gsUuomtsCP_w4QJkCpdLkoAO__95GVKEa8h91mDByFBWf5AMSu-7aaC0FWFB_9E0Wt-dvLm_ObS7MKQBhromot7v/?imgmax=800" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px" title="DSC05809" width="404" /></p> <p>I know the beginning of my post was quite down, but great fellowship and food with friends made for an excellent ending!
