Pfft…

Well I spent half an hour this morning writing a post and when I went to upload it, Windows Live Writer or Blogger got some type of error and it erased my whole post.  :(

Let’s see… I got out for my 8K run as planned last night.  It was the perfect evening for it – sun setting with a cool breeze.  My route took me all around the lake, I never think too much about where I live but it really is beautiful.  Polar tells me that I burnt 695 calories, this includes the cool down walk.  Not bad for such an enjoyable time! 

My eats for today were pretty routine.  I woke up hungry but craving protein, so I made an egg on Ezekiel toast.  Mmm so good with the baby spinach, shredded cheese tomatoes.

Also had the last of the cherries. Yup, when did I get that huge bag? The weekend?!  And I’m the only one that eats them in the house.  Opps!

  

Mid-morning I took a break and had a yummy treat – a Cosmic Cookie.  If you haven’t made these yet, pick up the ingredients! They are packed full of healthy ingredients and taste amazing!!

 
My lunch was fairly identical to yesterday.  The chicken, veggie alfredo dish  a side of cucumber.


Dessert was some Liberte Svelte Vanilla yogurt.


After enjoying a lovely walk home in the sun, some ice cream was in order!  1/2 cup of chocolate chip cookie dough in a waffle cone. Delicious! 

 
It is a gorgeous night out so I’m going to try and convince J to go for a walk.  Wish me luck! 

Long Weekend Starts Now!!

Whew! What a long day, am I ever glad that I’m now officially on weekend time. :)

Work was busy and then I had to pick up my car from being inspected/oil change etc. She passed with flying colors. AKA:  No huge ass bill! *grins*  After that I headed into town, picked up J, did a bunch of errands and finally get home around 8:30pm. I even ended missing Booty Camp because I wouldn’t have made it in time.  Boo.

I’m actually laying in bed to blog though, hehe so comfy!  Tomorrow I do have to get up pretty early to drive J into work but I can relax for most of the day until late afternoon when I’m meeting up with my Dad.  The only plans I made during the day are with myself! Get in a run, enjoy a bubble bath and re-vamp a date square recipe.   A lot of you were wondering about the cheese sauce that I made last night, so I will also post that recipe tomorrow.  Oh and I have some plans to work on a top secret HaliBlogger item! ;) 

Food wise my day was okay.  This morning I woke up craving an egg so that’s exactly what I had.  My version of a McMuffin – ezekiel english muffin topped with spinach, fried egg, sprinkle of melted old cheddar cheese & tomatoes.

 
Mid-morning I happily munched away on a On The Glo bar.

 

Today is Thursday, which means lunch was Subway.  I’m so predictable.  6” Veggie on whole wheat w/ lettuce, green peppers, tomatoes, pickles, onions, olives, banana peppers, jack cheese & a tiny squire of chipotle sauce.

I also had a bag of baked ruffles but don’t know what happened to the picture.  A small dish of stewed rhubarb to finish it all off.


And by the end of my work day the rest of the wonderful dark organic chocolate was gone. *blushes*

 
J & I decided to have Supper on the go tonight.  Ended up at Boston Pizza, which is usually fine in my books because they have a California Pizza from their healthy alternative menu that is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.  But to my utter disappointment it had disappeared from the menu.  I politely inquired with our waitress, she did a bit of running back and forth and ….ta da:


 
Needless to say, I was quite generous with my tip this evening. :)

Ended the meal off with a much needed cup of joe! (Just look at those baggy eyes…jeez, and this was the better pic of the two!)

I ended up going over my calorie allowance by almost 300 and didn’t get any exercise.  No guilt here though because the majority of my choices were healthy today.  I will burn those couple hundred cals off tomorrow and forget all about it!

Sleep time!

Ps.  My Operation Beautiful Post It is STILL on the mail boxes almost 3 days later!!

Food Health-Biting The Bullet

This post could be negative, going over my failures at recent weight loss attempts. Instead, I’m choosing to make it positive.  I rock because:

No matter what, I NEVER give up. I’ve lost over 95 lbs by making lifestyles changes that have stuck.  Going back to the “old” me just isn’t an option because I don’t know that girl anymore.  The new, improved me is educated, knows what she wants and is doing what it takes to reach her goal.

That being said, the mojo just isn’t what it used to be.  Life happens, weight loss stalls.  Sometimes I feel like I’m too “into” it all.  Calories, sodium levels, exercise.  On occasion there’s enough going on inside my poor head to make the world spin.

So, I’m taking a step back and trying not to put so much focus on it all.  I already make healthy choices the majority of the time and I enjoy exercise, so there really shouldn’t be a problem.  I will succeed, and you know what? There is no deadline.  No deadline means nothing to worry about, nothing to stress over.   

Simplicity.  Which is why I re-activated my Weight Watches Online account this morning.  I need to give myself a break, see how far I’ve come and finish what I started at a pace that I enjoy.
 

This morning when I woke up, the sun was shining and I could feel the cool breeze coming from the patio doors.  Definitely has a Fall feel to it.  My favourite season is fast approaching! I love the cooler weather with beautiful sun, the crisp brightly colored leaves, apples, pumpkins & squash and Thanksgiving.  I’m hoping that next Fall we can take a road trip down through New England. 

Breaky was an opened-face egg sandwhich.


One egg fried in a tsp of olive oil on a slice of Ezekiel toast, organic baby spinach and topped with 10g of melted old cheddar & sliced tomato.


Along with some lovely Just Us (with organic sugar & splash of organic milk) and a juicy peach.



Didn’t get a chance to blog last night because I was too busy making these sinful treats for a wedding shower that I’m attending.


Chocolate Skor Cupcakes.  Recipe compliments of ZestyCook.  I admit to having a taste last night and they are heavenly!  According to my math they clock in around 300 calories each.  Good thing they are leaving my house today! ;)


 

Oh and I got our Supper prepped in the fridge.  I used this Balsamic Maple Pork recipe as the marinade (instead of cooking as the recipe directed) and am going to let the pork loin soak all day.  Going to be awesome grilled!

 
I’m off to tidy the house and get ready for the Wedding Shower.  Later!

Food Health-Organized

Morning Bloggies.  What a productive Sunday we had.  The house is de-cluttered, re-arranged and all nice and tidy!  We spent the majority of our day working on that with a little bit of reading/tv breaks in between.

For Breaky I had some delicious whole wheat blueberry pancakes. Used this recipe from Allrecipes.com with a few modifications. (Subing egg whites, almond breeze etc.)  They were awesome with some Nova Scotia Maple Syrup. Mmmm mmm.

 
Tea this morning instead of coffee.

 
I managed to cook us a few meals for the week in between the cleaning.  J has a big dish of spicy beans & rice and I boiled up a few eggs for some egg salad sammies pour moi.  Had one for lunch too, along with a peach.  Was on 2 slices of ezekiel bread with some organic baby spinach.



I took a break mid-afternoon to relax on the deck with my book before mowing the lawn.  Munched on a plate of organic granny smith slices and some cheddar cheese.  I had a little furry visitor on the arm of my chair. Hehe. I’m not one for bugs but caterpillars are okay in my books.

Food Health-Shower Fun

Evenin’ everyone.  Just relaxing for the night now, what a terrific day!  When I last left off, I was tidying up and had to get ready for Holly’s Bridal Shower.  Knowing that there would be tons of yummy temptations at the Shower, I planned to have a really filling meal before hand. 

Lunch consisted of 2 very tiny baked potatoes with 1 cup of steamed broccoli topped with homemade cheese sauce.  My belly was almost too full after this.

Shortly after, Holly arrived to drop her fiancé off to hang out with J while we spent the afternoon with all the ladies.  Posed for a quick pic before heading out.  All prettied up! ;)

Food Health-Travel Talk

Morning Bloggies!  Just getting into settled into my lovely long weekend, couldn’t sleep in this morning of course but guess it gives me a bit more time to catch up with all of you.

First off, going to ask for all your help!  We’re in the midst of planning a trip to the Dominican Republic for this coming March.  I know many of you have vacationed there, so please, please share your resort recommendations and any other tips etc.  We’re looking for all inclusive & beach front.

I’m thinking of doing a 30 Day Shred challenge with myself for the month of August.  I want to keep my fitness level up and this seems like the perfect way because it’s high intensity but not too long of a work out.  Might be a fun experiment, what do ya think? Anyone interested in doing it with me?

Last night we met with friends downtown for some yummy Dinner at the Mongolie Grill.  It was a beautiful evening to be out, lots of sun and a warm breeze.  The Monoglie is such a fun place to go because you get to pick everything that goes into your stir-fry.  They have huge veggie, meat & sauce stations set up and you get a bowl to go crazy with.  After you make your selections they have a huge open grill in the middle and you can watch your meal being made if you want. So neat and easy to make healthy choices! I think all the Halibloggers should go there for our next gathering. :)

My first course was this very spicy hot & sour soup.

 

My stir-fry was SO freaking good!!  I chose a mix of carrots, snow peas, bean sprouts, red cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, green peppers, a couple scallops, a spoonful of baby shrimpies, some shanghai noodles and topped with a combo of curry & mongolie sauces.

I left the restaurant nicely full. :)  The four of us headed back to the house, started talking about our trip to the Dominican Republic this coming March! (Just looking at the pics online made me so giddy and it’s 7 months away, lol!)  We’re going to talk to a travel agent before booking anything but I appreciate all your recommendations!   I sipped on a nice mug of coffee while browsing the pics.

 
We spent the rest of the evening watching the movie 12 Rounds, which I thought was awesome, very action packed!  And, I wasn’t the first person to fall asleep, hehe!!!  Actually made it through the entire thing.  Must have been due to all the rest I got in the afternoon.

Guess I should go back and re-cap the rest of the day. Was really nothing special though…Breaky was a bowl of Kashi Organic Cinnamon Harvest cereal with a bit of icy milk. Some how my fridge temperature settings got turned WAY low and a lot of my produce and milk froze. Not Cool. :(  Glass of organic OJ too.

 
I spent 2 hours at the hospital waiting to get blood work and then stopped for a few groceries.  On the way out picked up Subway for lunch. My dreams of getting another lobster sandwich were just that, dreams.  Boo.  Instead, I had an old favourite, the Club.  Not as good as I remembered.  Processed meat just does nothing for me anymore, oh expect cause extreme bloat.  I got in 4L of h20 yesterday and am still majorly bloated this morning.  6” club on whole wheat w/ jack cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, green peppers, pickles and a bit of mayo.

 
It was hot out, so I indulged in a small Moon Mist cone. (They were all out of cotton candy.)  Ice cream and I are getting along quite well this summer.. haha, I only stop for one every other day. ;)


Spent the afternoon in bed until I had to get up to tidy up the house and prep for our night out. 

Alright, that’s it… I’m off.  Please remember to leave your DR travel recommendations! Thx.

Monday Quickie

This is going to be a short & sweet post because I had no time to blog last night and only have about an hour before I need to leave for work!

Yesturday’s eats were pretty decent, Breaky was a slice of fresh Valley Cereal bread with peanut butter.

Bowl of strawberries to round it out.

Mid-morning I snacked on a delicious oatcake! Mmm this recipe is great!


For lunch, I had the spaghetti & meat sauce. Was even better the next day!

Along with a simple salad – organic baby spinach, organic mushrooms & cucumber. Drizzled with French dressing.

Splash of Red

Good Morning Everyone. Can’t believe I’m on the last day of my long weekend already, it really flew by. Not much really planned for the day today – visit to the Farmers Market, out for a run and make lunches for the week. It’s grey and rainy yet again today, what is up with the weather?? Last July was the same way, I thought that Summer was supposed to be sunny!? Silly Mother Nature…I did have a strange dream that it snowed last night but thankfully that was just a dream. :)

Anywho, going back to yesterday~ Decided I was okay with making my WI day, my “treat day” so you will see a few indulgences below!

While we waited for our friends to arrive, I munched on this juicy nectarine.


We ended up stopping at Subway for lunch on the way into town. I got my usual 6” Veggie ;) Change it up a bit with an added squirt of mayo.


Side of Plain Baked Lays. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother to get these because I really don’t care for them. Kind of like salty card board. I was hungry though.

We got lots of errands done yesterday day including picking up shoes for the beautiful bride to be, Holly. Holly has a blog and has joined Amy’s Challenge, so go over and show her some love!!

Ended up stopping to pick some ingredients for homemade pizza and made a trip to the booze store for some wine. Then on the way out, made another stopping for my fav summer treat – waffle cones! Hehe, I’m seriously addicted. I got a small scoop of cotton candy. Yummy!



Once we got home, I whipped up the pizza dough and then cracked open my bottle of Cab Sauv.


Mmm by the end of the evening you could say that I was fairly relaxed. ;)


Supper turned out quite well. My half of the pizza was topped with red, green, yellow & orange bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, a little bit of prosciutto, mozza cheese & a sprinkle of feta.
