Getting My Austin Greek On

by Nicci on 09/13/2010

I’m in the great City of Austin for a HUD training this week until Friday.

My goal this week is to study after classes, but also fit in some fun and check out the city.

Felt like a dream rolling out of bed for a 5:30am treadmill run.

That was a first in a loooong time to be up that early!

Work out

Big FAIL forgetting to pack my earphones so I watched TV and busted out 3 miles on the treadmill.

Hotel Fitness Center

Back in my room, I pulled out my Yoga mat for AB exercises.Yoga Mat

The tummy started to rumbled so I made my way to the hotel breakfast bar.

Avoided the good looking doughnuts….boooo LOL

Picked up a strawberry yogurt & banana.

Yogurt n fruit

Then came the no flavor eggs and a good half of a bagel with PB & honey.

Greek for Lunch!!

Met a nice lady in class who suggested Greek; so my coworkers and I followed her to ”Austin Greek Deli”, a tiny Mom & Pop deli!

So my coworkers have never eaten Greek but they were daring & adventurous today.

Usually, they are very,very, picky eaters. Shocked they even said YES!

Healthy Alternative

by Nicci on 06/23/2010

Sometimes I just want a big bowl.

Chris loves his sugary cereal, on the mornings he’s off from work. I love my ceareal on the weekends or as a late night snack. I lean towards ”Raisin Bran” most days. Yum. I need the box that contains the EXRA SCOOP of raisins. My all time guilty pleasure is that colorful box of  Fruity Pebbles…takes me back to my childhood days of watching cartoons on Saturday mornings.

Healthy alternative

This mornings breakfast:  cantaloupe, strawberries, black berries and Galaxy Granola’s  new ”Maple Pecan Quinoa” granola.

Mix it all up.

What’s your favorite kind of cereal?

How do you make your breakfast healthy?

No Moody Monday, Give Me A Wrap

by Nicci on 09/28/2009

I was in high spirits today considering I forgot I had a board meeting tonight.

(Totally faking the happiness)

I lucked out on not having to cook dinner, since the office orders on meeting nights.  Plus Chris went to a friends to watch the Cowboys game. GO COWBOYS!!

I brought home a delicious Greek Chicken wrap w/ a cup of broccoli & cheese soup from McAllister’s deli.

Along with their wimpy fruit cup

I said hold the Cesar dressing on the side.  I think they want to kill me with all of this!

Look at the size compared to the soup OMG! I changed my mind and didn’t use it.

Overall it was great but their Greek pita is the best, I’ll stick with that next time.

Plus I got a oatmeal raisin cookie, which I’m saving for Cookie Friday…hope it lasts till then.

Finally I’m home and I plan to sit back and watch Gossip Girl :)

Thank you Mr. Mailman for the delivery&  Bear Naked sent me their new tropical granola bar to sample.

I’m so tempted to eat this for dessert, but I’m going to save it for later also. lol

How was your Monday? I think people sometimes overreact to Moody Mondays.

Sea Salmon Saturdays said the Sea Man by the Sea shore!

Now try saying that 10 times really super fast! I’m just in a dorky mood tonight, sorry guys.  For some reason after doing laundry with Chris I got a sudden burst of energy, out of nowhere.  I went crazy in the produce dept. at our local grocery store and was about to have a ‘‘foodgasm” in the dairy.  Finally Oikos is on the shelf again at the grocer I like, b/c it’s usually cheaper there!  So, tonight I give you the delicious Salmon burger I made for the boyfriend and myself with corn on the side.

The Green Tea I was surprised tasted so goodnicoles pics 573

I’m logging off now to watch HgTv (slight obsessed with) and read the two new mags I picked up tonight.  Alicia Silverstone on the cover; I love that Vegan Girl too. Looking forward to read up on her and check out new exercises in Fitness Mag.
