I was happy I did not spend all day and night at work. The Board meeting let out around 7:00 and that was better than 8:30. I don’t think anyone wants to spend that much time at work. Thankfully Board meetings are once a month. Today went by super fast and I think I’m getting nervous as the week ends. I start my new position next Monday. I think it will be crazy doing two jobs, having two offices but the extra income is a bonus.
Breakfast:
Greek yogurt and granola
Snack Time
Orange, apples and Coconut water
I was feeling this lunch today, considering I’m a wimp and it was freezing outside…maybe just myself being silly. I can’t believe snow is in the forecast for later this week…Crazy Texas Weather!
Lentil soup and spicy grilled cheese
Dinner
Roasted carrots, steamed green beans
I really loved the rice and grounds (meat free) mixture!
Quorn Grounds, seasoned with spices and tossed with brown rice. Yum
The Ultimate Vegan Dessert
No picture…I gobbled the brownie up before I remembered to snap a shot. lol
I made Vegan Black Bean Brownies from Happy Herbivore for a bake sale tomorrow. You know I had to make a small test batch to make sure they were yummy…they were.
Night,
Nicci
Wednesday Giveaway… Be on the Look Out!
Thank you for all the sweet comments regarding the ”weight” post yesterday. You were are all so kind and I appreciate the support I receive in the blogger community.
Breakfast:
This morning I chowed down to a grilled cheese and vanilla Greek yogurt. (not pictured)
Jalapeno cheese, sprouts and avocado
A spicy and delicious start.
Lunch:
Black bean soup with more spicy cheese melted on a slice of toast and popchips.
I received these Dr. McDougal Soups from Erin, in her giveaway I won last week.
Perfect lunch for this rainy Saturday.
My mail lady scared me this morning, she tends to knock on the door really hard.
She did bring me goodies: I won We Are Not Martha’s Blog Anniversary Swag Bag… thanks ladies. Super cute tote that I’ll be carrying around town.
I love all the goodies inside : garlic zoom, bodum travel presser, coupons, barney butter and a coupon organizer.
Saturday Agenda:
- 30 Day Shred
- cleaning the kitchen
- laundry
- reading all the new mags I received in the mail
Confession:
I’ll be updating the Fitness page tomorrow. I have been slacking on logging and training for my Half in March. I’ve been doing more treadmill running than outside running. Chris and I discussed starting up again tomorrow outdoors and maybe picking a different Half to run in April instead of March…more on that later.
