“Forget-About-It”

April 27, 2011 by DanicasDaily 13 Comments

Happy Wednesday all!  This morning I woke up at 3:30 and thought, nope, not yet.  Then, I woke up at 4:00, nope, not yet….5:00…5:30 and begrudgingly got out of bed.  I grabbed a banana to snack on with some coffee while I figured out exactly what I was supposed to do this morning LOL.

I think my brain was broken and tired because I left the house and realized right as I sat on the train that I forgot…….MY CAMERA Sad smile Gahhhhh….I hate it when that happens.

I though about saying “Forget-about-It!” and not taking pictures all day.  Then, I remembered I could use my camera phone even if I don’t love the pictures as much.

There have been so many CHANGES going on this week so I know I am tad bit forgetful.  I decided to take all of that to gym with me today and put it into my workout.

I PUSHED through a 32 minute run/walk followed up by crunches (I lost count) and my 25 push-ups. 

My post workout breakfast was sort of random (like I said, my brain was a little tired this morning). 

I am completely addicted to Tracey’s Trail Mix ~ it’s sweet, tangy, crunchy, coconutty, chewy and you get 1/2 cup for only 3 points+. (Recycled picture = GREEN MOVE!) Winking smile

This is where my pictures from my phone start ~ they are panoramic for some reason *sigh*

I had 2 slices of TJ’s Peppered Turkey Bacon and an apple with my trail mix above (2 points+).

Lunch today was AWESOME because it was catered by Whole Foods!

How cute are these placemats……

Salad Station!

2011-04-27_12-14-04_31

There were TWO types of salads served.  One using Annie’s Lite Goddess and the other that I couldn’t pass up ~ Spring Grapefruit Poppy Seed Salad using Annie’s Lite Poppyseed Dressing.

Pita Chips!

2011-04-27_12-07-39_625

I pondered taking one of these sandwich and grape platters back to my desk….I don’t know what it is, but, I LOVE Whole Foods sandwiches.

I tried to pretend the cookie platters didn’t exist….it worked until I was in line next to it.

Super Secret Tea!!  I actually learned the tip to making the best Lemon Iced Tea is to steep 2/3 Lipton’s Black tea with 1/3 Meyer Lemon Herbal Tea.

2011-04-27_12-08-14_71

The glasses were on top of the What to Recycle and What To Compost signs I had made as part of our sustainability program Open-mouthed smile

I had a Turkey and Swiss sandwich that I estimated based on the ingredients (6 points+)

2011-04-27_12-34-51_519

A little crunch (1 points+ for the pita chips)

2011-04-27_12-34-57_898

That salad I told you about….I actually didn’t mind the stinky goat cheese in it. (2 points+)

2011-04-27_12-34-39_873

My co-worker told me the name of this cookies but I forgot what it’s called.  It’s a French Almond Cookie.  It was interesting ~ chewy and super almond like so I only managed about half of it. (3 points+)

2011-04-27_12-35-15_910

Mid afternoon pick me up ~ Medium Iced Dirty Latte (4 points+)

I picked up these Southwestern Stuffed Chicken Breasts at Trader Joe’s to have an EASY dinner this week.  I LOVE them because all you have to do it bake and dig in.

    That trail mix looks sooo good… I’m such a sucker for raisins. As for drinks, I LOVE Starbucks’ Iced Passion Tea or Iced Black Tea, but if I need coffee, their skinny vanilla lattes are my go-to drink. When I’m at home, I use a lot of Crystal Light.

    You know what I love about you and your site?? You make it look easy. You make dieting look like a breeze and you make it look like you can eat whatever you want. I feel terribly restricted. I should be good at ww…been doing it since I was a kid and my mom works for them…but this go around feels different.

    So I take it you work for Annie’s? What is a good low points dressing that they have…that doesn’t taste like crap?? It seems all low (not any brand in particular) fat dressings are icky so I usually go with EVOO and Red Wine Vinegar…but the EVOO is so many points…and I like lots of dressing!!!

    That chicken looks amazing. I definitely need to go get that at TJ. My favorite beverage is orange juice. Honestly I feel pretty confident saying that I could drink a whole carton.

    Favorite drink other than water is my morning coffee! Gotta have it!

    Your phone camera takes pretty good pictures.

    My favorite Annie’s dressing is the Mango-it’s perfect on baby greens with apple slices, grapes and some feta cheese.

    HI Sarah,

    As much as I LOVE making my own dressing, it’s nice to have quick options available. Here are a few of my favorites and all of them are 1 points+ per Tbsp.

    * Newman’s Lite Lime Vinaigrette – not too sweet not too tart
    * Trader Joe’s Spicy LF Peanut Vinaigrette (in the fridge section next to the product)
    * Trader Joe’s Cranberry Gorgonzola Walnut (in the fridge section next to the product)
    * Trader Joe’s Creamy RF Cilantro (in the fridge section next to the product)
    * Trader Joe’s Balsamic Vinaigrette

    As for the Annie’s flavors ~ I like the new lite Poppyseed alot and I do not mind the Lite Goddess.

    Hope that gives you a few options.

    Danica
