Breakfast was rushed this morning, again. I had a little more time to get ready for my seminar but boy was I SUPER tired! Apparently I have decided to give up on getting 8 hours this week. I know it’s bad to say, but because I don’t have to teach I am more okay with not getting enough sleep as much as it stinks the next day. There’s just too much to do! I’ll be catching up on my zzzz’s after Friday. I hate getting less then 8. Less then 8 don’t feel so great! Oh well..

Breakfast ended up being a Kashi pumpkin pie bar (I am officially obsessed), some tazo awake tea, and a yogurt. All unpictured, I was in a rush and figure you all know what they look like by now so I’m sure you don’t mind.

Too cute.

When I got home, I had a photoshoot with Leo..then I made lunch.

For lunch I heated up a Morning Star spicy black bean burger topped with organic ketchup and spinach, frozen veggies, frozen broccoli and kale chips! Yummm!

I swear there’s a burger under them there spinach leaves!

Along with a string cheese.

Also, a glass of V8 fruit juice. Oh, and ketchup with hot sauce for dipping the kale chips!

I also had a mug of ginger-green tea. After lunch and cleaning the house!

Tonight we had our small group and Joyce(who usually makes dinner) and her husband were out of town so we had pizza!

Plus a yummy salad with toasted almond slivers, strawberries and a raspberry vinaigrette! Yummm!

I had another half a slice of pizza and another heaping scoop of that salad with extra strawberries. So yummy!

..and a perfectly sized cupcake with chocolate frosting. Deeelish.

Today was super busy! I thought my seminar was three hours, found out this morning it was 3 1/2 which turned into almost 4 hours!! I didn’t really get a day off because once I got home I realized that the students got out of school 30 minutes later. Sort of a bummer. I rested for a little after lunch and then got right into cleaning our apartment until Adam got home, then it was right off to small group. Sort of a bummer I wasn’t more productive. Oh well, the house is now clean! I have two more days until I am freeeee!

We bought dough at Publix for the quickest, easiest pizza. I requested my much beloved pineapple as a topping.

For our pizza, we picked fresh herbs from our “garden” we picked some thyme, greek oregano, and sweet basil. Chopped them up and sprinkled them on top..

Some fresh mozzy, pineapple and herbs..

A little EVOO crust..and WAH-LAH!

I obviously don’t win for best shaped pizza, but it tasted darn good!

I love Amber beers, and this is one of my faves..and it’s a light beer, so I feel better about it.

I ate all but one piece. I usually get full before this point, today was no exception but it’s so yummy and I can’t help myself. Oh well, I really don’t feel too bad about it, it was yummy and worth it.

A little balsamic and EVOO to dip our crusts in. I really really love balsamic.

Okay, I have such amazing friends..case in point: I got a text tonight from Ashley telling me to look outside my door. I handed Adam the phone and opened the door to find an innocent Whole Foods bag sitting on my doorstep. Inside it held a sweet gift from an amazing friend..

It definitely did make my day SO much better!! Ashley, you’re amazing thank you for making me smile and making me realize how great my friends are. You are wonderful, and you are going to KICK BUTT this weekend at that marathon!! You are ready, beautiful and capable! Thanks for sweetening up my day more then you know!

I am going to break into this right now, it’s a carrot cake cupcake from whole foods so it’s healthy..right?

I hope you all have a goodnight! I am thanks to a wonderful husband, and incredible friends.

I had a small bit of frozen brocc, green beans, and what looks like a bit of tomato. I added half a can of french cut green beans, some chopped up baby carrots, 1/4 cup of corn, and spinach that was on it’s last leg along with some S&P, garlic powder and paprika. Towards the end I threw in a black bean burger and cut it up with my spatula till it all cooked together. Then I poured it into a bowl..introducing:

A nutrish-mosh. Just your random, mish-mosh of everyday veggie and healthy things thrown together into a yummy bowl of goodness!

With a side of sandwich thin graced with a smidge of smart balance and a sprinkling of garlic powder. YUM!!

It was a beer kind of night:

Shock top. Orangey-wheat beer goodness!

The hubs looked at me and said “well, I know what we’re having for dessert” and I was expecting a sketchy comment to follow..but he told me to look in the pantry..I got excited. For good reason:

That would be a box from Sweet.

Gourmet mini-cupcakes were inside this treasure box..

Mmm..that would be(starting in the upper left corner) a white chocolate raspberry, pumpkin with cream cheese frosting, red velvet with cream cheese frosting, and Dulce de Leche. Mmmm!

Tonight we split two and saved the others for tomorrow..we chose the pumpkin and Dulce de Leche..

Check out the Dulce..that’s filled with goodness right there! They were both incredible! Their pumpkin though. Unbelievably YUM!

Didn’t get to work out. I had so much to catch up on. I know, I know..LAME! Tomorrow should be home hot yoga! Adam is getting my space heater out of our “storage” so I can really loosen up! Now I am off to bed, super late for me! At least it’s Friday..”Fun Friday” at school. So ready for the weekend! How about you?

Before I sign off I have a question for you all..I am going to a Thai/Sushi restaurant tomorrow night, so..what’s your favorite Thai dish? I usually get chicken pad thai but I want to try something different..

Looking forward to some suggestions!

Katy
