Day 184 (Thursday 5/7)

<p>Happy Thursday everyone!! And we all know what comes after Thursday right?!?! </p> <p>Alarm went off the AM, I jumped outta bed, got dressed, and hit the gym!! I am <strong>LOVING</strong> this!! I got in a 12 minute run before my sister & BIL got there. And then I lifted with them. My BIL is very smart on the "<strong>weights side of the gym</strong>"....the side that I say looks like a jungle gym and usually steer clear of!! But he was <strong>great</strong> with my sister & I! (I felt like we were little ducklings following him around asking all kinds of questions!) We worked mainly <strong>bi's</strong> today and a little <strong>leg work</strong> for a total of <strong>30 minutes</strong>. I am looking forwarding to more lifting with them!! I really want to tone some of this <strong>darn chub</strong> that refuses to leave my body!! </p> <p>After getting ready I headed over to my office and had breakfast. But was quickly saddened when I realized I had used all my blueberries yesterday and forgot to bring more. So today was just plain, old boring <strong>oatmeal</strong>...it was still <strong>good</strong> though!! Along side I had an <strong>orange</strong> as well for a <strong>3 point</strong> breakfast. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTH27hyphenhyphen4IULHiXQAjRSChmXNzlUJLwfsLXAi8N0L7F5FYyKh5Lp3U27VpGZwl2YqLSosBGWOa7CSVi0qrxKiEQHa6g8iA3wQt9l2Dkrh0WIIyKY-uOSRlO7QbGN4ayBt4kKEyNw9jWC0gC/s1600-h/DSC02492%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02492" border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjREZDdmfUIJveIVkUs2x35o-jD2GLQruSQRW1k0HZz3nS0lteAsbCKbV1GeZyvp4XRYm8E93gp1zx3W0inofjg9eVscb7tS0ttrmSA6iwgJ7xK2AxDLHReG_tN9nifFFLao0Nn6PogKRN4/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="DSC02492" width="353"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRmA8eFC1qn2GWdxjSbmA-pL2MhE-vRRJLIm0WgquVnmyxA_QBfgUHJGUTRIUJjrLZ4x-LSmfnekZ3w31r08gfd-MWyzVVMg3GNRhu-WOvqjtHVEj1un7gqeRjudinnjsYV9HSNfY9IthD/s1600-h/DSC02493%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02493" border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW5d6oYXB1Y0MySfeU1UPZssZMkd6jd3kSjiu1Diyzn7osekQEfpIfpgQkE7d3Q_QNk3nXw-jSgO1KvFCVxHrIbaIiJxgIbIfRRllO0qs85TvuvA3FwUXAdLD9dJ7MsPUdDUmBEZUO6cS7/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="DSC02493" width="353"></a></p> <p>For a morning snack I had, <strong>you guessed it</strong>, <strong>strawberries</strong>, <strong>yogurt</strong>, and <strong>grape</strong> <strong>nuts</strong> for <strong>3 points</strong>!

I feel much better after all we got done. Saturday should be <strong>fun</strong>!</p> <p>Since we were cleaning and working like crazy I didn’t eat until after 8:30! I wasn’t really in the mood to cook anything so I had <strong>2 servings</strong> of <strong>Honey</strong> <strong>Bunches</strong> <strong>of Oats</strong> with 1<strong> C skim milk</strong> for<strong> 6 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCmWPOaeN9LjzD0kEBH062vPWTamCdE0KpJxgXSLwhtlNYo5w1bXdQmSelAq2RvRFDPjLqLXqHURv1v1LIpxFgSAP9_mi655gWXSinoU5qwhDc_Y3IQzKRTkpiUFKxbeROk3hL1RM6Cd7O/s1600-h/DSC02501%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02501" border="0" height="323" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHi7Pgo0H2xFlUYHEdiQC0QNj6-SrC8Z4i43FGxmg0dszC6CNvO_FUtVw3HXSSHpmFdj9H9pJkmHSKULaInHC_K2znabmYJnTamgVrmRI6Nz-pFv7-vIDJZa5J25mkMfCqLz8pADlTqoV0/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="DSC02501" width="430"></a></p> <p>couldn’t wait any longer!! I had to try the <strong>Larabar</strong> that I was given!! And I <strong>LOVE</strong> it!! So good and the ingredients are SO simple(ie dates, nuts, etc)!!
