friday FUNday

Hooray for the end of the week arriving! And, even more for Kyle working a half day and joining me for the afternoon. So, I had a NOT good cup of coffee when I woke up. I really put it off for a while because I wanted to finish my book, and I think that re-heating the left over coffee from yesterday was not the best idea. I didn’t get the ratio of milk to coffee right at all, plus there was a funky Irish-cream-like after taste that I was not into. Enough said. I did not finish the cup. I went to the gym and did the same old on the elliptical, still felt fresh and good after an hour. Then I did abs and stretching. Once I got home it was already 1:30 pm and yet I wasn’t starving, so I took a nice long shower and then made lunch. I had no idea what I wanted, so I went for the economical decision, finishing things already in the fridge. I heated up the Ezekiel bread with a layer of ff Fage and then made the same “chicken” spread with the honey mustard and ff Fage added for more spread-ability. Then I topped it off with fresh organic sprouts. Notice the bite mark – I couldn’t help but sample it before picture time 🙂

Of course, I needed a little something sweet after, so I opted for the latest obsession, yogurt raisins. The picture below is probably only 1/3 of the amount I actually had. They are just too good! No words.

Don’t worry I am continuing my “fluids-or-bust” approach to life, so I am downing Snapple and propel water like its my job. Kyle got home around this time, so we hung out for a bit and then he went to the gym and I went and got a mani/pedi. It was a weird experience, I think I will stick to one at a time from now on. The pedicure is hot pink and I love it. The manicure is the worst piece of crap I have ever seen. In a word – hideous. Then Kyle and I went to walk in the park and pick up some last minute groceries for our bbq.


Pre-bbq marinated eggplant


Bbq-ed chicken

Bbq-ed leeks and corn

Bbq-ed fish (the last of the striped bass that Kyle caught on his fishing trip)
My plate of goodies (grilled eggplant and portabella mushrooms). Yes, I couldn’t resist topping the eggplant off with some ff ricotta “cheese.” I had another plate too because I couldn’t fit everything on mine the first time around. The corn was super tasty (oops, no picture because I ate it too fast), but the onions were WAY too onion-y. I don’t think they got cooked long enough because normally they don’t taste like that. They were so strong I couldn’t even finish (see them below neglected on the side).
I’m so full right now, it is fabulous. I changed into my pajamas, but then had to get back into normal clothes because we decided to go buy lottery tickets (95 million in the NY state megamillions). Now I’m back in my p.j.’s though…Olympics until bed time.

Ok, I actually got a little hungry again on the late night, so here’s my (healthy) pm snack. It could be worse, right? Yes, as we all know, it could be a jar(s) of peanut butter worse!
