Running behind……but getting caught up

May 21, 2009 by DanicasDaily 12 Comments

Wow, I can’t believe it’s almost lunchtime and I still haven’t shared my breakfast with you all. Today has been one of those crazy busy days from the time I got up. I was rushing around the house, traffic was insane and work has been good, but, busy, busy. I think I caught up on all your comments too – yeah! I am soooo ready for the LONG weekend and can’t wait for tomorrow!

You all will be proud of me ~ We are having a big work BBQ tomorrow that is catered by a local BBQ place. I ordered a Veggie Burger because I felt it would be the safest, low cal option – yahoo! I’ll be sure to share all the fun details tomorrow AM.

Breakfast this morning was awesome if I do say so myself. I started off with a warm, toasted piece of the Pecan Swirl Bread I got at last week’s Farmer’s Market. I made sure to slice it up and freeze it so I can enjoy it for awhile. It is 3 WWP a slice – such a bargain! I LOVE the cinnamon filling and the roasted pecans.

I made up a quick 3 WWP smoothie to wash it all down.

1/3 c TJ’s Fat Free Greek Yogurt
1/2 c FF Milk (although Almond Breeze would have been awesome here!)
4 strawberries
1 small banana
1 Tbsp ground flax seed
ice

It was so creamy and fruity! I LOVE smoothies when it starts to warm up.

My mid-morning snack rocked as well. I tried a new KIND Bar ~ Almonds & Apricots in Yogurt!

I LOVE that these bars are handmade and packed with wholesome, CLEAN ingredients. I LOVED the nuttiness of the roasted almonds with the apricots and the sweet, vanilla yogurt. I normally will not spend more than 4 WWP on a bar, however this bar is worth the entire 5 WWP. It filled me up and didn’t leave me wanting more which is a huge thing for bars and me.

I came across a great article this morning while perusing the latest Cookinglight.com recipes. It’s about training your brain to think like a thin person. Click HERE to check it out.

Do you all have anything fun planned for the long 3-day weekend? We are pondering ideas – so far The Husband said he wants to go Gold Panning and on a picnic – that should be a fun one to pull off!

Be sure to check back later today as I am going to be announcing my next Giveaway – yeah!

    Hooray for the veggie burger choice! I love the pecan bread…looks so yummy.

    We have Riverfest going on this weekend, so we want to go check it out and see a concert. Great bands playing….B-52’s, Willie Nelson, Buddy Guy. Good times.

    Other than that, we just got some garden boxes in, so we’ll be assembling, mixing soil and planting!

    Missy ~ It’s so true and they are getting BBQ with all the fatty sides. I figure this way I can bring some healthy stuff (fruit, veggies, Pop Chips!) to go with mine.

    Heather ~ I LOVED the yogurt covered KIND bar flavor. I highly recommend that one. Good luck on the treadmill – you will do great!

    Angelea ~ That sounds like a fun weekend!

    KS ~ That is exactly why I had to freeze it – it’s too good! This way I have to make more of an effort to eat more than one piece. I’ll send some slices your way ๐Ÿ˜€
