Not Thrilled

April 6, 2009

Boy oh boy, I had another super productive day!  I got three loads of laundry done, sorted through two drawers & a large stack of mail that had been piling up from even before we moved (!!!), packed our lunches, made some “fresh” hummus, made dinner, worked on some schoolwork and now I’m getting ready to mentally prepare to head back to work tomorrow :)   Yup, that’s right, folks, I’m back in school :/  I have to take a few graduate level courses for work (somewhat similar to my MBA degree), which I’m not thrilled about considering the timing of them with doing work around the house, but oh well!

I should probably recap lunch before I get to dinner, right?  My lunch wasn’t eaten until 2:00pm, I told you I was on a mission :)   I had a slice of leftover whole wheat pizza topped with sauteed veggies (I made this Friday night for dinner) and then had a side salad… I also had a blueberry yogurt because it’s expiration date was TODAY, oops!

Around 4, I started to get really hungry, odd, no?  I pulled out one of the Mocha Fiber One bars… so bad but so good!

Then for dinner, I decided to make this recipe, for Mexican Steak Stir-Fry, but changed a few things about it.  Instead of a green pepper (used the last one yesterday), I used green beans… and I didn’t add the onion.  Plus, I doubled up on the veggie amounts that the recipe called for so it was WAY MORE VEGGIES than meat.  I served it with brown rice & a green salad :)   It was really good but we have A LOT of leftovers since I bumped up the veggie amounts!

Do you think I got my share of veggies today?  I just realized I had 2 salads today!  It’s so much easier for me to eat veggies throughout the day when I’m at home!

On a separate note, this weather is driving me nuts.  It’s currently hailing out!  I will most definitely have a snack later but not sure what it will be!

    Why do you say the Fiber One bars are so bad, but so good? I think they have pretty good nutritionals, all things considered. Is it the ingredient list that you think is bad?

    Good luck at school! Have fun!

    Sounds like a productive day! Your pizza looks yummy too.

    I love salad and often eat 2 a day. That din looks really good esp with the extra veg. I might have to try something similar.

    Fiber one bars are definitely tasty. I love the chocolate chip kind. I ate a lot of them last year and got sort of sick of them. I should check them out again.

    You are so busy, but definitely productive!

    Love leftover pizza :)

    I’m the same way, veggies are much more fun to eat right out of the fridge on salads or cooked with good stuff!

    Am I the only one who still eats yogurts after the expiration date? Call me a rebel;)

    I agree about the weather… I had to take out my winter jacket again yesterday! I thought spring was here but I guess not yet!!!

    good job on being so productive! I feel that way when I’m home, too. Sad I can’t stay home more often :)

    Good luck with school!

    My husband picked up those Mocha bars this weekend and is in love with them.
