Shopping Pretties

Since Blogger decided to delete my original post, here's a quick rundown of the shopping goodness I got yesterday....for cheap!

Stay Tuned

I had a lovely post of all the pretty things that I bought today but Blogger's new interface decided to eat it.

It's nowhere to be found.

Stay tuned for all the fun things that I bought today in my it's raining let's go buy something retail funk.

Menu Sunday

I'm actually posting a Menu Sunday post on a Sunday!

Mon: Garlic Basil Meatball Subs

For some reason I've been really craving meatball subs, so when I saw this Prevention recipe for them I decided to take the plunge.  I'll be using some ground turkey and low sodium marinara sauce to try to make it a little healthier.

Tues: Portobello Burgers

Portobello tops were on sale at the grocery store this week, so I decided to try out some portobello burgers.  I've never made them before, but I had them last week for lunch in a restaurant near where I work and they were delicious.  I'm hoping KB will like them and maybe won't be so bitter that we're having 2 meatless meals this week.

Wed: Pizza
          No fun pictures.  We're using up the leftover stuff from the cauliflower pizza last week, but this time with prepared pizza dough.  I can't be healthy and resourceful all the time.

Thurs: Leftovers/using up stuff in the fridge
          We will be out of the country next week so we're going to clean out the fridge before we leave.  I'll probably eat some sort of fruit/yogurt combo while KB will probably eat one of his 9,000 frozen pizzas in the freezer.

What goodies are you eating this week?

Saturday Somethings

This Saturday is shaping up to be a good one.  I met my mother in law this morning to talk about KB and his brother for some prepping for our tropical vacation coming up.

I got China Glaze Custom Kicks on my toes...

And I got OPI's Breathe Life on my nails.  I'm pretty sure this polish is discontinued and was only produced specially for a Lung Cancer Awareness benefit OPI did a few years ago.  It's okay, but I probably won't get it again.

Sorry for the super blurry picture!

I'm also making some delicicious goodies for dinner tonight.  Including crockpot BBQ chicken, roasted green beans with Parmesan and Smores gooey bars.

AND...because all this excitement isn't enough.  I reach my weight loss goal on Wii Fit this morning.  I'm now in the "normal" range for my BMI.  This may be the one and only time in my life where I am considered normal.  Go me!

Workout Review: Jillian Michael's No Trouble Zones

This was really really hard (but good).  This workout is all about circuit training.  There's a short warm up and then seven 5 minute circuits.  I was pretty sure I was going to die by circuit number two.

I'm normally not a huge Jillian Michael's fan and think she is the fitness equivalent of nails on a chalkboard, but she was pleasantly not annoying in this one.  She didn't yell that much and she didn't act like an over achieving jock (woah hate on Jillian moment).

I'm already sore and can tell that I'm probably not going to be able to move tomorrow, but that's a good thing.  If I'm going to spend an hour of my day working out, I'd at least like to feel that it's doing some good.  Overall it's a pretty good DVD...if you survive it.

Thoughts on a Thursday

It's time for my Thoughts on a Thursday....

Link up with Carolyn to play along!

• In about a week I will be here.

I can't wait, but for the time being I'm spending a lot of time working in order to get my stuff caught up so I can go there.  It really snuck up on me and I don't have anything planned or packed or anything.

• I was very lucky to snag one of these yesterday

A Cook Out watermelon milkshake is like summer frozen and blended with ice cream.  It sounds gross but they are so good.  They are only sold July - August and since yesterday was August 31st I was really worried that I waited too late.  It was pure delicious ice cream heaven.

• We've had some really good meals this week and most of them have been vegetarian.  I'm not a huge proponent of the no animal products bandwagon (having a dad that's a dairy farmer kinda immediately throws you out of the wagon) but we try to not eat meat at least 3 nights out of the week.  We had black bean burgers yesterday and they were so delicious.  They were better than most burgers I've had out and definitely better than anything I could make myself.

What are your thoughts on a Thursday?
