Happy Hump Over the Bump Wednesday

It’s that hump day again. Time is flying and Spring is just around the corner. Can you believe it’s time to “Spring Forward” with our clocks this weekend?!  It seems to have rolled around pretty quickly.

To kick off this cold but calm “over the bump” day, I did 20 minutes on the ET and 20 on the TM.  My 1 scoop of VPX got me through it.   A good 35 minutes of weights was then completed doing back and triceps.  Shane and I walked and jogged for 3.3 miles since it was nice once we got going and shook off the chill.

Breakfast Omelet Day.   I began with 1/2 a juicy, pink and delicious grapefruit. 

 My omelet ingredients were: 1 slice of Ezekiel Bread-toasted, broccoli florets, spinach, EggBeaters, reduced fat feta cheese, a couple of squirts of BRAGG Aminos, and Zukay Salsa (mild).    Wow – did that hit the spot! 

I’m toying with the thought of buying a photo editing software program. Not sure yet, I’ll look at my options in the store, mull it over a minute or two and make a decision. My fear is that I’ll get something too involved for me to use.  If anyone knows of a good inexpensive photo editor for a novice, please let me know.

That’s all I have for now. Take care. Have a great day.

Good Friends No Dinner

Not a typical Friday evening for us.  After almost 9 years of marriage, we still don’t communicate well.  I think it’s that guy-gal misunderstanding. You know… men NEVER understand women….women SOMETIMES misunderstand men. That was what happened last night.

Ted said he was all pooped out from eating out. Ok – understandable. I asked if he wanted me to make something or order Chinese or pizza?  He said…”Oh no – we’ll go out, but just kind of pick. Go to Cavallo’s or something.”  Fine.  We ended up meeting up with Jackie, Rocko, Agie, and her husband  …..ohhhhh….Hashim?!?  (Jackie – if you’re out there help me with his name????).  We met at the end of happy hour (7PM), 257 Steakhouse.  This is where Ted had one of the worst dinners of his life so I knew we wouldn’t eat there. But Rock was eating so Ted decided on an Asian Pork salad. I asked… is this where you want to eat? He said No – but we’ll have something. I said I didn’t want to ruin dinner or munchies so I’d wait.  Well, it was 8:15pm when we left. Ted said “where to?”  I said ” where ever you want. Are you still hungry? If so, lets go somewhere”.  The response was not a yes or a no, … I don’t know what it was but we ended up exchanging the DVD and coming home. Hmmm!  What happened to Cavallos?  What happened to Joanne’s dinner?  It ended up being a cup of tea. It was too late to cook. I didn’t want to clean up any mess.  I like my Friday night dinners out.  Oh well. Life goes on with men being blind to the likes/dislikes of women and women not expressing loud and clear what they really want.  I know….my fault and I went hungry.  

This morning, although I started with a protein shake, it just didn’t give me all the energy needed for a good run. Shane and I did go 6.25 miles, but after 4, I had to walk/sprint.  My legs were tired and I was getting grumpy. 

When we got home, I immediately inhaled an apple with peanut butter.  Got in the tub, washed my hair. Ahhhhh. Feeling good! 

Breakfast was a wonderful EggBeater/Egg White omelet with broccoli, asparagus, spring onion, feta cheese. Topped with Zukay salsa.  1 piece of Ezekiel bread, toasted.  Yuuuummmmy!

Today, I’m making split pea soup – less the ham bone of course.  Also…this should be interesting, I had some left over Spinach and Artichoke Dip from Thursday evening.  I have decided to make bread with it.  “Spinach Artichoke Dip Bread”.  I’ll let you know tonight how that came out.

Have a super Saturday and take care.  Joanne out!
