04.24.09 Breakfast, Lunch at Baker's Square, Dinner at Home & Snacks

Hey guys,

Fell asleep at 12:30am part way through the Biggest Loser and woke up at 7:30am.

Yes, I did weigh myself...close but no cigar.

Got dressed

Went downstairs and ate breakfast which was 1 cup of Nature's Path Optimum Blueberry Cinnamon Omega-3 cereal with 1 cup of Calorie Countdown and a dash of cinnamon.

After breakfast I worked on the budget for next month and got some coupons together for grocery shopping later after visiting my mom.

Arrived at my mom's about 9:30am and she needed me to take her to get her glasses fixed, go shopping at Target and make a stop at the bank. 

After finishing up at the bank we went to my mom's favorite restaurant...Baker's Square.

First I had a bowl of Chili.

For my entree I had the Mediterranean Pita with fruit cup.

Dessert was a slice of No Sugar Added Banana Cream Pie.

She's thinking about getting a new SUV so we surfed the web after we got back to see what the current rebates/specials were. 

My mom brought me up one of her new 100 calorie Kudos bars and a Diet 7UP.

She has more bags of leaves that need to be taken to the compost site next Wednesday and has furniture for us to haul as well.

I betcha we'll be making yummy salads again...lol

Left my mom's house and headed to SuperTarget. 

Bought two bags of Food Should Taste Good Chips ($5.25 - $2 coupon = $3.25) Tasty Bite Indian Punjab Eggplant ($2.25 - $.50 coupon = $1.75) Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt ($2.25 - $1 coupon  = $1.25) Also had one coupon for a free Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt (-$2.25) 4 Larabars $5.55, ThinkThin Brownie Crunch Bar ($2 - $0.50 coupon = $1.50) Total bill = $19.55 - $6.25 coupons = $13.30.

Riceworks Sweet Chili Crisps ($2.50 - $1 coupon = $1.50) Special K Crackers ($2.50 - $1 coupon = $1.50) SB Diet Fiberfit S'more Bars ($3 - $1 coupon = $2) Yellow Onions $2, Wishbone Spray Dressing ($2 - $0.75 coupon = $1.25) Amy's Organic Chili ($6/2 - $1 coupon = $5/2) Mission Low Carb Tortillas ($4 - $1 coupon = $3) Whole Wheat Naan $3, Market Pantry Lower Sugar Oatmeal $1.50, Kashi Go Lean Blueberry Waffles ($2 - $1.50 coupon = $0.50) Total bill = $28.50 - $7.25 coupons = $21.25.

After shopping I headed home and Dave volunteered to cook dinner tonight!

He made this amazing garlic lemon aioli chicken with onions, couscous & broccoli. 

For dessert we had Blue Bunny NSA Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream.

It was a great dinner and we had our friend John over to enjoy it with us. 

Earlier we finished watching the Biggest Loser and were sad to see Kristen go and after dinner we watched the latest episode of House and Hugh Laurie was as witty and charming as ever.

Got called into work because a coworked called in sick...working tonight 8pm-2am. I've already eaten quite a bit today so I'll just have a few snacks to keep me alert.

Around 10pm I snacked on an ounce of Cocoa Roast Almonds. 

Work was normal for a Friday night...the same old server alerts as always. I found that my friend from the China helpdesk was on Sametime on a Saturday morning their time because there was a training session.

Around 12:30am I had a serving of FSTG's Sweet Potato Chips with 2 Tbsp Pineapple Salsa and a glass of water. Things picked up a little bit with some European tickets we had to work on.

It's 1:30am right now...I'll be leaving work in a half hour. Can't wait to get some sleep since I woke up so early this morning. Tomorrow we have a fundraising game party from 3-5pm that my friend Krissy and her hubby Chad invited us to.

I'll be terrified to step on the scale tomorrow morning O_O
