02.05.09 Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Got in 7 hours of sleep...9:30pm - 4:30am. Woke up, got dressed and drove Angie to work. Came back home and did my usual computer stuff...email, finances, blog, favorite sites. Watched some cooking shows from Comcast On Demand. 

Ended up taking a nap but not for long. I decided to go out shopping at SuperTarget cause I needed some nylons for my dress I'm wearing Saturday night to my company party. Also needed to buy groceries since I work 12 hour day shifts Friday thru Monday and wouldn't have any time to do so. 

Grabbed a Think Thin Chunky Peanut Butter to eat on my way to SuperTarget...

Total grocery bill = $36

Also stopped by Sam's Club and saw my sister, her boyfriend and my cousin Cassie there and chatted with them for awhile. They were all anxious to get off work and Sarah said she was going to our mom's tonight and that my mom changed her mind about what kind of car she wanted...thinking she wants an black SUV she can step up into because it would be easier on her. At Sam's I picked up two bags of Arnold Sandwich Thins $4, 2 heads of lettuce $2, Sabra Red Pepper Hummus was on sale for $2, Cottage Cheese $5, Turkey Breast $7, Magazine $3.50, and Cocoa Roast Almonds $9.50. Total grocery bill = $33

Went home and put away the groceries and made the Santa Fe Salmon Cakes for Dave & I and put coffee on for him. 

Shortly after it was time to pick Angie up from work. Went and got her and brought her back home. Started lunch which was a Thai Yellow Curry Chicken Stirfry (1.5lbs Chicken Breast, 8oz Sugar Snap Peas, 2lb Mixed Stirfry Veggies and the Thai Yellow Curry Sauce I bought at World Market, :( - going out of business.

Here is the stirfry in my wok

My Portion

After we ate we left to go work some more at the old place. Got the last big piece of furniture loaded...a lovely credenza for the living room. Then we went inside and brought up boxes from the basement into the living room and sorted them, must have went through over a dozen boxes and threw away 3 large boxes of garbage and things we didn't want that weren't appropriate for a thrift store. Finished up working at the old place and brought Cody back with us for dinner.

Got back home and unloaded the truck and made TJ's Chile Lime Chicken Burgers for dinner.

It was 8pm by the time we started eating dinner so it was almost time for me to go to bed since I work 6am tomorrow morning. For dessert I had a South Beach Diet Cinnamon Raisin Bar. Going to get some sleep now! :)

01.29.09 Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

I slept in Thursday morning and got 7 hours of sleep...6:00am - 1:00pm. After eating so many calories yesterday I surprisingly didn't gain any weight but didn't lose any either. 

For breakfast I made myself a Thomas English Muffin with Trader Joe's Unsalted Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jam.

Went to pickup Angie at Target around 1:30pm and drop her friend Abby off at home. Angie wasn't feeling well at all so I brought her home and she went to bed. Dave woke up not feeling well either so I made him a Thomas English Muffin with PB&J as well.

Left around 4:45pm, then got gas for $1.81/gal and picked up a Grape Powerade Zero and went to bring my timesheet over because I forgot to mail it. 

Returned some sweater tights at Sears cause they ended up not being long enough for me. 

Then I went to IKEA to return the over the couch arm remote organizer, a rod that mounted to the wall for hanging utensils, hooks for the rod and a steel magazine rack. I got store credit because we lost the recipt so I bought a floor lamp with a reading light for the bedroom and a baking pan with a rack. They were sampling Gille-Havre Biscuits so I had one.

Went shopping at Rainbow Foods and picked up the new South Beach FiberFit S'mores Bars...they are so good and contain no HFCS!

I had one...very hard to resist eating more than one!!!

For groceries I bought: Sugar Snap Peas, Mushrooms, Eggplant, Oranges, Wholly Guacamole and Wholly Salsa, Kashi Go Lean Strawberry Waffles, Dannon Light & Fit, Lean Turkey Ham, 4 packages of cheese at 99 cents a piece!, Maxwell House Coffee, Near East Mushroom Couscous, Low Sodium Pizza Sauce,  Arnold Sandwich Thins, Chicken Noodle and Tomato Soups, Vitamin C Tablets, Eggs, Diet Coke and the South Beach FiberFit S'mores Bars.

I came home and heated up some Chicken Noodle Soup for Dave and Angie. Whipped up a cup of Yogurt and Blueberries for each of them. Had a half cup of yogurt and blueberries myself. 

Later on I made myself a Kirkland Signature Turkey Burger with 1/3 cup cheese, raw onion, lettuce and some Steel's Gourmet Sugar Free Barbecue Sauce on an Arnold Sandwich Thin.

We watched the latest episode of Biggest Loser. Sad to see the orange team go, but you could tell the brown team wanted to be there more and the team members were appalled at what Daniel said about not really wanting to be there.

Then we watched the latest episode of CSI off our DVR.

It was definitely time for dinner after that...I made a turkey and veggie stirfry with peanut sauce. (cooked and broke up 4 Jenny-O Turkey Burgers, Steamed 8oz of Broccoli, Cauliflower, and Carrot Mix, 8oz Trader Joe's Pepper Mix and 8oz of Sugar Snap Peas, then added about 8 Tbsp Whole Foods 365 Peanut Sauce and walah...dinner was served.) Had some sugar free orange drink mix with 100% Vitamin C to drink with the meal.
