Staying Home

Matt spend last night coughing and again I got very little sleep so I didn’t end up going to work today. I was exhausted and I had a huge headache so I slept in. I really needed it.

This is going to be a short post. I burnt my hand cooking dinner tonight and it really hurts so I’m just going to write a quick post.

After I got up I headed to the grocery store to pick up a few things. Including low fat bran muffins. I had one for breakfast…

 

Lunch was a bagel sandwich with a whole wheat bagel, mozza, turkey and spinach…

With a side of carrots and baby tomatoes…

Dessert was a bowl of cherries that I split with Matt…

And mini-eggs. Matt’s bowl I stole three from…

I had a mid-afternoon snack. Another Kardea bar. This time is was banana nut…

This one was delicious! Tasted like banana bread!

At the grocery store I picked up this for supper…

I served it up with broccoli and a slice of Ancient Grain’s bread…

I only ate about 3/4 of the pie. A tasty vegetarian meal.

My hand is hurting so this is going to be a very short post.

Night all!

Recent News

Hey all,

So things around here have been a little crazy.

First, the husband has been quite sick and because of this there has been a lot of soup around the house for the past two days.

Last night Cream of Mushroom Soup…

With a couple of whole wheat rolls.

Tonight was Chicken Noodle Soup…

Tonight was was hungry so I made a grilled cheese sandwich with mozza to go along with it…

On Honey Oat Bread…

Love this bread!

In other news. I found a new addiction. Stacey’s Cinnamon Sugar Pita chips.

I’m addicted!!!

Second, I just found out that Matt and I are going to Calgary in two and a half weeks for his work. It’s exciting. I haven’t been on a plane in 6 years and I’m really looking forward to getting away (even if it is only for 4 days). I’m also missing the last day of school to go. It’s ‘fun day’ so I really won’t be missing too much but I feel a little guilty for it.

We are also going to get to see my step-brother, his wife and my niece and nephew. I don’t get to see them that often so it will be nice to spend some time with them.

Don’t worry, I’ll be bring my computer so I can do some blogging on the road. When it gets closer to the date I’ll be looking for some of your travel tips for healthy eating.

Third, looked what arrived at the end of last week…

My first product to review. Kardea Nutrition Bar. Nancy the wonderful lady at Kardea send me four flavours – Lemon Ginger, Chic Spice, Banana Nut and Cranberry Almond.

Of course the first one I had to try was Lemon Ginger…

Good Ingredients…

Good Nutrition Info…

Very tasty…

I definitely enjoyed this flavour. I will be giving a full review later this week when I’ve tried all the flavours but overall I really enjoyed this first one.

I’d better go look after the husband. Here’s hoping he’s feeling better tomorrow.

Not my Favourite Yoga Class

So before I start on today’s food I thought I’d share with you my yummy snack from last night. I actually can’t take the credit for this. I read it on Sammie’s blog the other day and when I saw mini angel food cakes at the grocery store I couldn’t resist.

Mini Angel food cake with fat free vanilla yogurt and berries.

So good.

Today was an interesting day. I really wasn’t feeling well most of the day so I didn’t actually eat too much. Breakfast was a cheese string and an apple on the go. By lunch I was not feeling well at all. I nibbled on leftovers from last nights Chicken Teriyaki dinner, some yogurt and a Kashi bar. After work I was feeling like complete crap but I wasn’t sure if it was the lack of food or I was actually getting sick so I stopped at home to grab another cheese string and a homemade granola bar before picking up Matt from work.

I felt a little better but not 100% so I just wanted something light for dinner.

A bowl of Low Fat, Low Sodium Cream of Mushroom Soup…

Grilled Cheese on flax seed bread with a mix of mozza and cheddar…

A glass of Pom Wonderful…

And lots of H2O…

After dinner I took a 30 min nap before deciding if I was up for yoga or not. After my nap I felt better and headed to yoga at Nubody’s.  I must say I’ve gone to this class a couple of times and enjoyed but tonight was different. I just didn’t enjoy it that much. It was about 90% stretching and 10% yoga. I was looking for something that would push me a little more. I much say tonight’s yoga was a fail. I think I’ll give the class at least one more try before I completely give up on it but I definitely like a class that pushes me a little more.

Sorry for the short post going to hang out with my husband before bed. Night.
