My favorite dinner

Winner, winner chicken dinner.  Chicken nachos ROCK!!!!!!  But first, the rest of today’s eats.

This morning Kimmie couldn’t meet me at the gym and I just could do Insanity solo this morning.  I decided a treadmill run was in order.  I enjoyed bar and some coffee on the drive.

I love, love, love Kind bars!!  And I love that this healthy treat is also sold at Starbucks.  My bar was washed down with coffee made with skim milk and truvia.  This morning, I was trying a new coffee pod brand/flavor.

I enjoyed it.  Here is some randomness for you…..I wish I was a coffee-know-it-all!!  You know how some people are wine-experts or wine connoisseurs…..I wanna be a coffee connoisseur.    Does that exist?

I got a 4 mile run in on the treadmill this morning, along with some negative splits.  Also a good stretch.  My left IT band is not hurting, it’s just been tight the rest of today, ever since my run.  I plan on stretching some more tonight.

Breakfast

This morning I opted for an old favorite, that I haven’t made in a while.

PB, J, and banana oats

1/2 cup oats
1 cup water
banana
spoonful of MaraNatha PB
spoonful of Polaner fruit preserves

Along with my oats, I had a mug full of french pressed coffee with frothed skim milk and truvia.

Lunch

I decided to pile on the veggies today at lunch.  I piled them high on an Ezekiel wrap

On the wrap went:

pesto
mozzarella cheese
chickpeas
short grain brown rice [made yesterday morning during my productivness]
spinach
chopped onion
bell peppers (red, yellow, and orange)

My wrap was great…..I really loved the pesto, but then again, I love pesto on everything.  I also enjoyed some fresh berries on the side

Snack

I barely got time to scarf snack down today.  The afternoon was jam-packed with appointments today.

I had planned on dumping this 100 calorie pack of nuts on top of some grapes, but I needed something a little quicker to eat.  Luckily, I had this bar with me.  This apricot bar was really tasty!! 

Following all my afternoon appointments, I finally sat down and ate my grapes

Dinner

I arrived home to my house smelling delicious!  My favorite meal, Chicken Nachos, was in the crockpot and I couldn’t wait to devour it.  Russell and I had my sister as a dinner guest tonight.  Since we’ve moved, she now lives maybe 3 miles away. 

Dinner started this morning…

and for the first time, I was using an Amy’s Organic salsa

I set the table and waited for my sister to arrive

Then we dug in.  Check out my plate:

Jalapeno FSTG chips
Multigrain FSTG chips
chicken, salsa, and black bean combo from Crockpot
chopped onion
bell peppers
short grain brown rice
topped off with greek yogurt

Seriously, for a dinner to be soooo simple, it’s almost wrong that it’s so freakin’ good!

The hubs and I are both sitting on the sofa, on our laptops, listening/watching America’s Got Talent auditions in NYC.  Do some of these people really think they are good?!?!!?

Off to enjoy the rest of our lazy evening.  Night
