Happy Hump Day?

I've never used the term "hump day" before but will start now!

This morning I got up @ 5:30am and has greek yogurt (Fage 2%) for the first time ever. I accompanied it with almond butter (all gone now) and sugar free preserves. This combo was so good and I wanted more! So I will definetely buy more when I go shopping.

I worked 7-2:30pm today and had a key lime larabar for snack. My favorite, favorite flavor is lemon but key lime is very close second. I hope they come out with an orange or grapefruit flavor. I'm definetely a citrus person!

Lunch was a green monster, this is only my second week making these and I LOVE them. I put

spinach, frozen pineapple, almond milk, blueberries, and a banana in mine. I also want to try this green superfood wheatgrass stuff in there sometime for more nutrition but don't know where I can get just a couple of samples?

My hubby and I are buying a car this weekend so we are off to test driving it tonight and dinner will be leftovers because of time constraints!

P.S. I still haven't figured out picture placement and wording, but I'm working on it. Maybe I need to load the pictures first and write around them?

Tommorrow.......

Taco Tuesday

On the menu tonight is tacos and I still can't seem to upload a picture so I borrowed one from the web.

Taco leftovers with be eaten the rest of the week, but thats okay with me.

It was hailing this afternoon here and my hubby called to make sure I put my car in the garage:)

I was outside running for 30 minutes this afternoon but the sky was getting dark so I did some Exercise TV with Bob Harper instead!

I work really early tomorrow morning so I will be back later tomorrow afternoon, hopefully with lots of pictures!

Blogger vs. Wordpress vs. my Hubby

I've only been doing this blogging thing for a week and I have already managed to have problems/issues with Blogger.
My husband wants to design and create a personal website for me, but being a perfectionist it will take hime a while. He does this as a side job and has his own website @ www.hellingas.net.

I like everyone's Wordpress designs a lot better, so I may be exploring other options here soon.

But getting on it was raining in MN this morning so I didn't run this morning and decided to have a hearty breakfast of eggs with peach salsa! Couldn't upload the picture though so sorry no visual!

Rain cleared up now and it's supposed to be 80 here so will probably put on my iPod + Nike tracker and take a long walk around one of our beautiful 10,000 lakes.

I'll try and come back for dinner!

Dinner forgotten?

I'm so new to this food blog thing I made the mistake of not taking a picture of my stella Iowagirleats dinner. I seen this recipe on her blog and just had to make it because my husband and I don't like the normal heavy pastas.
Kristin's drunken pasta recipe was AMAZING and there are leftovers!!
Also after going no dairy for a couple of weeks I've decided to add some back into my diet except ice cream and get rid of caffeine becuase lots of running with pop isn't working very well!

I also just got in a 6 mile run tonight before the "storms." Weathermen are never right around here but we'll see!

NO WORK TOMORROW! So I'll be resting, eating and maybe running.

Construction Season in MN

Breakfast this morning was another go at oatmeal with puffins, almond butter, strawberries and a piece of chcolate. As much as I want to like oatmeal I just can't! The taste is just off for me, but I tried.

I have to work this morning from 10-5:30. As seen in my title today I am so over the construction season we are having here in MN. Working in the south suburbs and living in the north suburbs is a pain!

Lunch I pictured this morning because it is a quick grapes and crackers. I don't get much time at work and we are only allowed to eat on break so it has to be quick!

I need to figure out how to move pictures around my post? Anyone know how, I'm still learning.

Be back later tonight for an IOWA dinner.

This is the day that the Lord has made!

What a great Sunday it is...just got back from church this morning and it's finally warm in the State of Minnesota!!

This morning I had peanut butter puffins, almond butter, nut clusters and a banana.

I'm experimenting with different breakfast foods and have recently cut out dairy. I was experiencing stomach issues so you will see alot of different things in this first week, but I hope to find something that works and stick with it.

I have to work from 1:30-9pm today so lunch and dinner are quick and w/o pictures. I will try to get on later tonight to just talk about what I had but we'll see.

Enjoy,

Schools out

I'm officially starting tomorrow with pictures and fitness stuff! It's taken a while for me to figure all this out and just got done with school and went on vacation. So with all that out of the way I trully can't wait to be apart of this awesome community of healthy people sharing great recipes and ideas. I have a couple of 5k's coming up and possibly a Twin Cities 10 miler but we'll see if I get a second job first so I don't overload myself.
