That oatmeal yesterday had me full until about 2:30. Right when we were headed out to get our car tires balanced and go to Josh's eye exam. I love it when that happens. Luckily I had some Bare Naked apple and pecan trail mix to snack on in the car.
The thing that I noticed about trail mix is that it is better to eat it all at once rather than picking the pieces you like. I don't know what it is, but the salty and sweet flavors with chewy and crunchy textures all go together nicely. I ate about a handful. (BTW, my Bare Naked contest has ended, I will draw a name at some point this evening.)
After our chores we settled on Macado's for dinner. It was Mexican night so I chose the southwestern salad (one of my favorites.)
I did not eat the deep fried shell. Those things are truly the devil and honestly not that good. I ate all of the salad: lettuce, tomato, gaucamole, and chicken. And a few tortilla chips.
Around 11:30 I got hungry again and had a small mug of white chocolate macadamia nut cookie oatmeal and raspberry zinger tea with agave.
In other news, I'm working on a new recipe this morning (it's in the oven now!) and I have a busy day ahead of me! Tomorrow I'm driving to West Virginia to stay the night with my bestest friend. Saturday and Sunday will be spent with Krissie (!!!) and Miranda (!!!) in my hometown. And then Monday morning I'm headed to Charleston, SC with sister and mom for a (working) vacation.
I also got on the scale to find that I've lost 2 lbs. so far this week!
I have soo much to do before I leave. Laundry is at the top of the list. See you in a bit!
Just like Jessie Spanno in that episode of “Saved by the Bell” I’M SO EXCITED!
Except we’re not all hopped up on caffeine, like Jessie was. Isn’t that one of the best tv moments ever! “I’m so excited! I’m so excited! I’m so…scared!”
woo weekend with my girls!
