Make it a great Monday!

<p>G’evening everyone! Hope you had an enjoyable Monday, as enjoyable as a Monday can be, I guess! ;) <em>Monday mornings I try to think positive that it’s going to be a<strong><u> great day</u></strong> and that usually seems to help!</em> Monday’s can be rough sometimes, but this is a great way to curb that!</p> <p>Well one thing didn’t go right this AM, I shut my alarm off! Then I just thought I would get up when Kyle did…but he shut his alarm off too. EEEeekkk!! So I jumped out of bed at 6:55am and<em> high tailed</em> it to the shower! Luckily I made it to work at my regular time!</p> <p>Due to our alarm issues I didn’t have time for breakfast at home. But I made my oatmeal when I got to work and it reminded me of those mornings when I used to work out before work and eat at my desk before the work day began. <em>*sigh*</em> <strong><em>I need to get back in that habit! </em></strong>I had the usual <strong>oatmeal</strong> combo for <strong>5 points</strong>. <img alt="DSC08891" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHZz0JWJlahqE2DXF9KA2wUkfRQitKYQVspTPFEymy-XjqqteNVcDeUcLYhbUjEiga6xPS6wd_SQfVxxQGvCj4Ly07zQD_wqXDoq9quhblE3drppeq7tYyZMVGgQZtLdl7KRvIQ2OZdMEv/?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="DSC08891" width="404"></p> <p>I got a lot done today and felt very focused! Always a good feeling! :) I had <strong>1 c grapes</strong> just before noon for <strong>1 point</strong>.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnL2czr51D6ss6PxEUTyzvCd7LnHTGBPa0XHn6rhlN-wrmj87WvdNE1FdTLmX-B9Vr-mdkzAi5vN4WGK-Kmo0F1YnkiuWt3hsujbmzEu7mdk8T9T1Cm2B4ocgTOs28bZyVQJecB-X5T0XJ/s1600-h/DSC08892%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC08892" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK6GAcM7rlnJ-igLvTkVKiyS5E0U_1D-jeIvRkFF69ZdB8elXDNcFrKI0ntWZo1MRTI8Dpkhlhnnwbfy2lmAys9mc62AUEffxDSiep4DJtMgR01rtm00L0qIjkzYpU2KvbBmECjK4hhJPq/?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="DSC08892" width="404"></a></p> <p>Similar to breakfast, lunch was also at my desk, but only because I worked through my lunch hour! ;) I had a<strong> Smart Ones</strong> for <strong>4 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiddNQHg9eRydQKVEIUKWnqV3DjzwMRJRzfbq5qt9LariqC8rFvRWzftYVw91Pp1ESg6Z16v-wVTRoe1Ip6oDM-6zTk4br7707HRPVpPV7SCsae55LO17qeNtGunUau_9h51pBb1Nz2QpF/s1600-h/DSC08893%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC08893" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUzfqxg8WwSDFie1HokOKd6N7TUF6Nt2jfgF1_QvBbSLnsCviT_XmXin8dlYXGx8nxeoxA5V8yM3CGNKG9JEXmAiqtQZ0k0-g1kpvkV_CA8oHMvoXP0ZqFc6SUNjYoqycePhxLHacn3pCM/?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="DSC08893" width="404"></a></p> <p>I worked through my lunch because I had a hair appointment!</p> <p><strong><u>BEFORE</u></strong> (from <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/10/shopping-football.html">Saturday</a>)<img alt="DSC08849" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpxLF3zwKuzegchQOYn3kTOUjIsi_9JCIfLAd3cF4ApNvJyt64eXu2Ky9_tM_dGM46ptLw8Ae9PoJQAB-sL1vv6zlh4t-w5xdXoOR8_nQfCDeGYDvJ57doSvL5mbYnEClgKgnjzYQ0FkmX/?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="DSC08849" width="404"><strong><u></u></strong></p> <p><strong><u>AFTER</u></strong><img alt="DSC08895" border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4b1grcM9VBTQ4DZh1k9JsWwG4pEFWUjuizXu09lEdt5N1bfx5GOHaVQULdmDBVcI_3s8Ra4MKyHLLSwf68Lq_v0QFLsdwwDGotoBBpcLe0NEG2qlmfOUQb8-f-AM1hmMezyDVF1DLSTtb/?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="DSC08895" width="409"></p> <p>I feel like it isn’t much shorter. I was hoping for a little different look, but I’m sure once I style it, I’ll like it more! I’ll make sure to keep you guys posted! </p> <p>Kyle has class on Monday nights till 11pm. So I got busy! I finished laundry from yesterday, cleaned up the guest room (<em><strong>we have guests coming this weekend</strong></em>!), and went for a walk/run with Abby!</p> <p>In between everything, I snacked on a serving of <strong>cottage cheese</strong> and had <strong>turkey & cheese roll</strong> up for <strong>4 points</strong> total. For some reason I was “snacky” tonight! </p> <p>I decided that was enough snacking & made supper!</p> <p>I had a plate full of<strong><u> roasted veggies</u></strong>, my fav!!! Just t<em>oss your veggies in some EVOO, seasonings of choice, 425 degrees for 15 minutes, and you’ll be hooked!</em> I went with <strong>fresh green beans</strong> and chopped a <strong>potato</strong> into to bite size pieces for a total <strong>5 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfmlTta9gjnLxI4a4OcT8bI0Ih9SsE5JGuYYWxZO2sucUwF1_5-YsQfxKJtEWiCiGxK3fIv9MukSALhIomwpSEWXYUsu7c1aPLjtdLRXRa9UhOpGIaqVRmrVJkA08Mk4GHcGAEsS7E-IlN/s1600-h/DSC08899%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC08899" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxnICgIMHON-UozJB65VsEW37ZnhA61wAEDamVst6FjaKrK9xulGv3YnRA1dNM9ga4aZLsX13GlKV1CqBFwQsWuzfCq16TN9tbWqtPhJ6Al9ze-c5jyCE4kKbXe6vfjyhhwyVcgAunANtc/?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="DSC08899" width="404"></a></p> <p>Mmmm, I love the slight crispness on the outside.
