He’s Just Not That Into You

13 Feb

Good Morning Everyone! I am in such a great mood this morning, I can not even explain, well actually I can….. I ACTUALLY WON SOMETHING ON THE RADIO TODAY!!!!!! This has only happened to me one other time before and it was when I was in High School. Back then, I won 4 tickets to see a sneak peak to the movie Road Trip. But, today I won again! The weirdest part is that I actually called in 4 times to try and win. The question was “According to Yahoo Search, The phrase When is Valentine’s Day is up what percent from last year?” The first time I called I said 48%, nope! Then, 75%… nope! Okay how about 250% (they kept saying way higher), nope! Okay, I will try one more time…. 150%? YES!!!! I was surprised I could actually get through 4 times to guess, If I ever do get through it’s usually only once and then it will never happen again. But, not today…. I go pick up my awesome prize this afternoon. I won tickets to go see the new movie He’s Just Not That Into You. I called Gregg right of way, and he wasn’t too thrilled so I will be taking my mom to see it with me.  SO yay for a great morning!

Now onto food…. last night after work, I had an apple right of way and then threw in a pizza for dinner. We actually made the Lean Cuisine 4 cheese pizza. I was a little dissappointed with this because it was pretty bland. It was a good thing that I had some popcorn to go with it! Total pts for dinner:9

After dinner we watched a movie and I snacked on a weight watcher mini bar during the movie (1pt). After the movie it was time for my dessert! And this shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, I had a bowl of Capt’n Crunch Berries, total pts: 2.5

It was so good! I almost forgot how much I loved this cereal and I think I may be buying one of my favorite cereals tonight when we go grocery shopping, it’s nto a very healthy cereal but its a good one! I’ll let you know later if I decide to do that.

Then, this morning I made another bowl of Cranberry-Orange Oats. Total pts: 3.

Another Busy Day….

10 Feb

Good Morning Everyone! I hope you are all enjoying this awesome weather we are having (sorry if your weather is not so great), but it is already 50 here in Wisconsin. That must be some kind of record for February 10th! But anyways, last night Gregg and I headed off to Alterra once again for some coffee and to get some work done. I have been crazy busy with law updates and really needed to get a handle on some of them. So I took my big binder of Laws with me and hit the books! After about 2 hours or so, I was mentally drained…. ADA, ADAA, GINA, FMLA, FLSA…. so much to update! But, before we left for Alterra, I made yet again, Binner! This time, it was pancakes, eggs and an orange; total pts: 5.

I know it doesn’t look too pretty, but it hit the spot. Then while at Alterra I had a medium non-fat decaff coffee with steamed milk. Total pts: 1.5.

Once we got home, I made myself a little something for dessert; butterscotch pudding and puffins; total pts: 3.5

p10202801

While eating dessert, I watched a little bit of the food network and then hit the hay! This morning, I woke up a little late… my alarm did not go off. This has never happened to me, so now I want to know why it did not go off. I checked it twice and it said alarm on and was set for 6:10 am. So, I am not sure what happened there.

But once I was showered and almost ready I made myself a bowl of oats. This time with just water and cinnamon. And boy did I use a TON of cinnamon. Total pts: 2.

And because my camera just died on me, I wasn’t able to snap a picture of the lunch I am going to have today and thanks to google here’s what I packed up:

I know it’s not the most healthy lunch, but we are running low on groceries and I am kind of in a hurry because I want to get a few more things done before I head off to work. I also packed an orange and some carrots to go with for a total pts of 6.

And, for the moment you have all been waiting for, the winners of my Valentines day Contest! Lori L and Erin B are the 2 winners I chose!!!! Please email me your address so I can send you the goods. Thanks!

Healthy Tip of The Day:

Try to eliminate processed foods. I know I shouldn’t talk with my lunch pick for the day, but always choose fresh products when possible!

Sunny Sunday!

8 Feb

It is such a great day out today here in Wisconsin! Not as great as yesterday, but it is such a nice break from the below zero weather we are used to this time of year. I hope your weekends are going well, here’s a recap of my weekend:

On Friday night, we went to Panera Bread for dinner where I had the veggie soup, a side salad (no dressing), a side of fruit and a whole wheat baguette, total pts: 4. After we ate dinner, we went to Alterra for some coffee where I got a coffee with steamed milk and white chocolate syrup, total pts: 2. When we got home, I had about 1/2 cup of caramel delight ice cream and a cookie for dessert, total pts: 3.

On Saturday morning, I made myself a bowl of Cranberry Oats with almond milk, oats, cranberries and orange extract. I also added a tbs of whipped cream and 1/3 cup of high fiber cereal to the top, total pts: 3.

Gregg and I had a few errands to run on Saturday, so we stopped at Hooligans for lunch where I had an Ostrich Burger with a side salad and an MGD Lite, total pts: 7. This was the first time I had ever had an Ostrich Burger and I LOVED it. It tasted like a regular burger, just not as fatty. If you are looking for a healthy alternative to beef, try this, you won’t be disappointed! After lunch, we stopped at whole foods to pick up a few goodies. We also stopped at the Metro Market to build salads for dinner. My salad consisted of Mandarin oranges, strawberries, onions, spinach, almonds and tofu. I also packed up some pineapple, papaya and some pumpkin fluff, total pts: 4.

At whole foods we got some sushi to split for dinner. I had 4 of the salmon rolls and 3 of the shrimp nigiri’s, total pts: 4.5

p1020263

After dinner, we watched 2 movies: The Holiday and Friday Night Lights. Can you guess which one I picked for us to watch? :) During the movie, I snacked on some pretzels and I also had an almond butter cookie (or 4). But, for dessert, I had a Vegan, Sugar Free Chocolate Chip cookie from Whole foods and some ice cream, total pts: 11. I know it’s a lot of points, but it was my super high day on the wendie plan, which means 35 points in one day! I am okay with it though because I get to eat something totally different than I usually would, hence the cookies!

And finally, this morning Gregg and I amde our usual stop at Caribou Coffee where I got a medium coffee with steamed skim milk and sugar free caramel syrup. We also stopped at Sentry to get some Whole Grain Muffins, todays pick: Lemon! When we got home I paired my muffin with a gala apple, total pts: 6.5.

That is all I have for today! DON”T FORGET TODAY is the last day to get your Valentine’s Day Giveaway entries in! I even added a search tool on my site to help you! This is SUPER EASY!!!!!! So far, I have gotten some Larabars, Luna Bars, cookies, candy and more for this giveaway!!! Get those entries in NOW!!!!!!!

Early night = great morning!

3 Feb

Good morning everyone! I am in a really good mood today because I actually was in bed by 8:15p last night. This NEVER happens. I think my body just needed a good night’s sleep. I slept a total of 9 hours and I only woke up once, it was so great! But, enough about that.. onto the food!

Last night when I got home, I snacked on this bar total pts: 1. There is just something about this Fig bar that I like. I am not sure why I like it because I hate the fact that the seeds get stuck in my teeth, but it is just a very filling and comforting bar…

p1020213

After I had a little snack, I started making dinner. On the menu for last night: soup, salad and crackers or bread. Only I couldn’t decide if I wanted bread or crackers so I had both. This dinner kept me nice and full until dessert, total pts: 4.

p1020215

For dessert, I had a cup of hot chocolate and some of my girl scout ice cream, I think this ice cream is addicting because I started off with a 1/3 cup and went back for some more! Total pts for dessert: 4.5.

p1020217

This morning, I made myself a bowl of Cranberry Orange Oats again! I also made some coffee that I will be taking with me to work, total pts: 4.

p10202071

And finally for my lunch, I packed up a turkey sammy on an arnold’s thin, 1/2 cup of chex mix, an orange, some celery with hummus and a peanut butter bliss bar. Total pts: 7.

p1020218

I have decided to make my lunch a little bit bigger than the rest of my meals to see if that helps me with my daytime/evening snacking. I have also been trying to add some more protein to my diet to keep me feeling full longer.

And, the part of this post that I need YOUR help with. How do you think we could promote Healthy living? Do you think I should revamp the page? Add more tips on overall wellness? Offer a new health tip everyday? Please help me by submitting your ideas, I want to make some good changes to Healthy Living and need your help!!!
