Strawberry Swing Kind of Day

Hey guys! Happy Monday! Happy Short Week! Happy almost Thanksgiving! :)  This year more than any, I’m thankful for my family and friends.  I am really working on recognizing how lucky I am to have such wonderful people around me (you all included) each and every day.  It truly is amazing. :)

Today, I started off with a piece of whole wheat and flax bread with pb and nanner.  Yum.

Snack was a plain oikos yogurt with apricot jam and some golean.  Yum.

After work, I did a killer elliptical work out – 40 minutes of hills alternating between bollocks to the wall and then moderate pace.  I was tired and shweaty by the end, for sure!

Instead of heading straight home, I had the urge to do some shopping, so I did! I went to Old Navy and ended up with a cute pair of cords and two shirts, all for $31!! It was awesome. :)

When I got home, I was more than ready for dinner.  I wanted something fast and delicious – so a pita sammich it was.  I stuffed a whole wheat pita with provolone cheese, a quorn chikn cutlet, spinach, dill pickle and honey mustard.  I also steamed some broccoli and cut up half a bell pepper and a carrot to dip in some hummus.  It was quite yummy and satisfying.

Now its time to chillax! I have my lunch packed for tomorrow and so its easy street!  Before I go though, I just wanted to share another song with you – the song (and video) is wonderful.  It makes me so happy.  I hope you enjoy it too!!

Have a great night my friends!

Happy Monday, Em! :) Short Week - YAY, YAY, YAY!!!!! So excited about this week and I too am so thankful for everyone in my life including YOU! :)

Way to go on the shweaty workout, hehe! :) We went to Old Navy yesterday too! Love that store!! Actually is it sad that I liked the little girls' clothes better than the women's?? There were a few skirts that I was really wishin' they had in my size!!!

I adore Coldplay! Never heard that song though!! Loved it - thanks for continuing my musical education!! :) Andrew will be so impressed when he sees me listening to this song! He's very into music - constantly downloads stuff onto his iPod.

Have a nice evening chillaxing! Goodnight! :)
