Just three more days of work until I’m off for Thanksgiving!! I enjoyed most of the weekend, though it was draining at times.  I managed to squeeze in cardio and yoga today.  Thanksgiving parties and dessert buffets took over the weekend, but I did not overeat.  Portion control took over but my belly stayed full.

1. Friday-Delivering Board Packets around town all morning, Office party at Dave n Buster’s, New Moon!!
2. Saturday- Funeral close family friend, Thanksgiving Pot Luck at friends.
3. Sunday- church, cleaning, gym, baking, errands…

Lunch and Dinner consisted of ”Turkey Taco Chili”  prepared for the bf and myself.

Yes, I went crazy with the portion of chips and I enjoyed every bite!

Ingredients:

1. 1/2 onion
2. 1/2 bell pepper
3. 1 cup corn
4. 2 cup kidney beans
5. 1 cup black beans
6. 1 lb ground turkey
7. 1 pack taco seasoning, Tsp paprika, oregano, basil and chili mix

Prepare meat on stove, add meat and other ingredients to crock pot.  Cook on low for 4-6 hours.

Sweet Potato Oatmeal Raisin Cookies for dessert…recipe from Tina’s Blog.

Holy YUM!! Chris enjoyed the cookies; I ate two of these babies with Almond  Milk.

I’m spending the rest of my night catching up on Reader (300+) and folding laundry. Friends Mike and Austin are coming over to watch this comedy movie about boys.

Good Night,

Really feeling my green monster right now, since I haven’t had them in so long.

They usually keep me full so I had another one before running errands.  I went looking for new workout gear but everything had been picked through at TJ Maxx…boo!

I made dinner extra early so I could go to a movie later tonight but then Chris called and said he was coming home only to change and leave.  Football Fantasy time is upon us; Chris and his friends were going to be working on that and eating at Buffalo Wild Wings.

Oh well…house to myself & dinner alone is fine with me.

Chicken Alfredo w/ whole wheat linguine was on the menu

Chris definitely missed out on this meal, but I did save him some for tomorrow.

Now time to consume this treat Chris came home with and watch a movie!  Since I’ll be alone I’m going to rent a movie on Demand instead…save about $4 than going to the theater.

My favorite, Cookies N Cream!

I’ve never tried slow churned till now and I have to say it really is rich & creamier than reg. ice cream!!

Have a great night everyone

(Please note, due to being sick I didn’t eat regular meals today)
