Finally Friday!

<p>I started by day out early once again and hit the gym! I got in a <strong>32 minute run/walk</strong>. I walked about 2 minutes for a warm up, 2 minutes in the middle, and then had a 2 minute cool down. I <strong>only</strong> totaled <strong>2.65 miles</strong>, but I have to keep in mind I really haven’t ran consistently <em>since October</em>! Sounds like such a <strong>long</strong> time ago. I know it will take a little while to get my strength & endurance back to what it was when I could run 10+ miles! </p> <p>Headed over to my office and make breakfast…same thing, 3rd day in a row and it still <strong>isn’t old</strong>! I really think this is my favorite way to eat <strong>oatmeal</strong>, with <strong>PB2</strong> and a <strong>small banana</strong> totaling <strong>4 points</strong>.  <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPdBz63-jJ_qIM1sAOie6CvGGFP_G-ZNJ_te-9qYVvoEAXIZ7fpLs33podwDIa_UrNDxLynblMzvRJwuCU4vDb-TCqKLcwT0CQn5ZWeL9ScSnqeEmuSKuqEUENzBe5R7dhrhPiGZje-orb/s1600-h/DSC05719%5B1%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC05719" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzlnlF0wqlCb-5uom0RSD5rBZEORhwg1oAKVDDfnyp8iguwRzCTWtF0bF9NQM95yjAY_SepvGAQr_5AWX2k1t6VSLqFUQ_54l7TVPNhS4LnFtbQC8AU5FlHfTO96fvvC5eGMuLllDiy2sU/?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="DSC05719" width="404" /></a></p> <p>Well the busy-ness at work didn’t end today! I was hoping for a nice quiet Friday to get caught up on things, but <strong>didn’t</strong> quite end up that way! I didn’t grab these <strong>crisp little guys</strong> (1 cup=<strong>1 point</strong>) until after 1pm!! So much for a morning snack!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4VnwmDdstnJnOddDPwcs122KnoFzijiV0xSKqsjVLudFp6inK2V0vq6DOMgAwpwykktszcwVPEjla4He0VDcz37i-jXRDpqkqJ2wIuV14S_bQ7Ew4y7P3zYVQmQNtuEMLGiwb-3fkxoND/s1600-h/DSC05720%5B1%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC05720" border="0" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVsE-JGflF6N3WKdZ4vWT9Kpg1pdzhyphenhyphenw7Oe2I8xn46HVDYDfIa4ixKbSJQNFHIHkMRESegHKaEn5JlMbDfAEzjw7khK5xPKHi3Ea6ndUiRIZg5tczc7Jz2vgYFlBB9CE24D6xxhWHCVZpP/?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="DSC05720" width="404" /></a></p> <p>That meant I had a late lunch too! Luckily Kyle was out running errands for work and was able to let our poor little pooch out! She was probably crossing her legs like crazy!! Once again for lunch, I heated up a <strong>SmartOnes</strong> (3 cheese ziti marinara) for <strong>6 points.</strong> I am ready to get back into my normal routine where I can go home for lunch and make something!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv7rwlCwTm7jbWJBTevHOhlABUChwARpBLjnM_a_zpNoVLrmbPLZ1eCUnTi9etMv9Tq0L4bmI9fBlBqmPhh2o77p57qUxnhZd6iLgeFTmabgQlZinojlF7Y3G_i2OiPor_tZ_C17oUih8j/s1600-h/DSC05721%5B1%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC05721" border="0" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyJG0QM3rCAordUAZPvYY02t0DVohRtak6rEYW8Wd0SnLkpKo9He0gMpudrXUjqGl-1oYblFsXqTX97L0UVF9E-iAfsE3k4YTkwNNAufdnJZFvwrXATdncdqFuh-Vm4yfrw3wuqoTvpOEa/?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="DSC05721" width="404" /></a></p> <p>After all that saltyness I was craving something sweet…that is kinda how my mouth works I think! I like to combine sweet and salty things! Instead of walking 2 offices down and raiding the “<strong>office chocolate stash</strong>” I grabbed this <strong>beauty</strong> from my fridge for <strong>0 points</strong>! It was just what I needed! :) <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Lf42_zIe-C36JOgm4QpMDujRMx7dKJafM7Aa0Dn0q62WylBlUkbkeOPbYGe9wNMN47-VXcG5LCrOBALTdDdu6rDL_Z71WSYo7U7waCFpEgvTOnxNDYG3yeH2nXR_Yq9OHhO5-fSdOM6Q/s1600-h/DSC05722%5B1%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC05722" border="0" height="303" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIAp8hOaoOxmE0pWmuH8Cfjkvd1-cphfveAmdDqBm9HEYrwqB37X4mk8P6xUowWIYFLAw-jMZEtPnb_2NVlSs2TxTT4vm07zsyUFBtmaTevtA-MN6zzn1ZlbD-iOZyEWKOSLxzJpuxTk2I/?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="DSC05722" width="404" /></a></p> <p>I took off from the office at a good time, only to get home and find out Kyle had to cover someone’s shift that didn’t show up. :( So I caught up on a few blogs and tried to think about what we could have for supper! Scouring through my cupboards & fridge I found these few things and decided to combine them with some baked chicken breasts for Chicken Parmesan!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXJF3EfytU03zmCKLmsujuZwO7cavHb9uHCw_DXHowSWWnPN3KDqmSrQQnBkrEiGkPglAYyeFC3wjUaWoypqez46ispLwPoGqDmoe6v4SkbWoI1dOo9Nf2fdWrT3ZIMm6hpgS_HS5uF3UH/s1600-h/DSC05726%5B1%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC05726" border="0" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheoaUKjo-YcXUPm2JPMYLt0iQ-G8Qv4aJPydoQejVUPB6XxuhtZnaRB3PbliMJnJT1EyQfAIq6mA0unkFYVq-pAYQoa2gv90U2N69j0xD_w_NPbCwbVgwbzkSTCrsu2h2gth9ct3AF94Qd/?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="DSC05726" width="404" /></a></p> <p>While everything was cooking, Kyle got home from work! We sipped on some <strong>hot chocolate</strong> (25 cal and <strong>0 points</strong>!) while talking about our days and decided to stay the <strong>night in</strong>!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGYKdCJw5iRRPvIMFdinc73Ya38sXQ2lROVbwrjQWTnt5jUlPM_2z2kBKtkdW-im1mkiurM_f3zZF3ALUsSqzSzLA04cW3gwopzEw-jKnuQrJfKi2tOCnOKIYPAeLImLmiPi2Jew7mUcrV/s1600-h/DSC05723%5B1%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC05723" border="0" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTe1b6CB6kaGVgUNQdOA3Q9a1KWUA_T7WdLhC7ibF3Xxy-eGw6xkyqFasgisRXfLWtxLeT_sRGS9uqdTxTqpRmsK6lWlC8IeqLUGUpG8DkX9qApSErWICbCfuxKzJ-PT1E97bGnyZ6DlnV/?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="DSC05723" width="404" /></a></p> <p>My plate included <strong>2 oz whole wheat pasta</strong>,<strong> 1/2 c sauce</strong>, <strong>1/4 c shredded mozzarella</strong>, and <strong>3 oz chicken</strong>, totaling <strong>8 points</strong>. I didn’t end up eating this <strong>enormous</strong> serving so I am counting it for <strong>6 points</strong>. I also had a side of <strong>green beans</strong> for <strong>0 points</strong>. <img alt="DSC05724" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZu26bhNaffxDawRWBunfw9i6b-aFtbzDxHCmLmiKOFihKbImiXw7rGyaw2k1AvEsD7ITjlfX9MisgI7Qp7-Q-kQpIZFS9BF9sSH-b2eUZNm5hNHHWX_bI_o7Wdfk0fQewdLZqAkqbWypt/?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="DSC05724" width="404" /><img alt="DSC05725" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbGz_RfUdTJ2yrms3B6ExFABPW0hPN8Qn0X3kYzGlKQ4aSN6kfT3WVhW7BGffXCmJCO0SfnFb-LdBwtgGbhCdR_jdIlLRyTlPG9cgaJVCcVuONxAmyRr4beaSi-oMayYem-HpSXwXVdQNu/?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="DSC05725" width="404" /></p> <p>It’s now after 10:30 and I’m exhausted! 6 day/75+ hour work week will do that to you!
