Snow Dayy!

Posted on
I just kept thinking to myself yesterday morning, when is it going to stop?!
Thankfully, we were called off work.  I think it was kind of mandatory being that the entire state was basically in a snow emergency.  Spendell finally made a rational decision for once :)

Crazy amounts of snow in Central PA!

 I got to sleep in until about 9:15AM, when I simply couldn’t sleep anymore.  I tottered out to the kitchen in my jammies rubbing my eyes and decided it was the perfect morning for pancakes.  Batter Blaster pancakes, to be exact:

4 small pancakes = 160 calories!

With sugar free log cabin syrup!  Perfect comfort food for eating while watching the snow fall out my window. 

Then I was bored.  I knew I wanted to wait until later to go outside and enjoy the snow, so I went downstairs to get in an early workout on the stationary bike.  I caught up on One Tree Hill, since I’ve been missing it due to the competition with The Bachelor & girls’ night.  This guy is such a charmer ;)

   600 calories and 1 1/2 hours later, when I was finished drooling over cutie pie up there, I was finished with my workout and needed a quick shower.  By the time I was all cleaned up and squeaky clean, it was time for lunch!  The family ate BLTs (bacon, lettuce, & tomato sandwiches) with creamy potato soup.  But I had something different on the brain.  I’ve been wanting to try this ever since I saw it on Janetha’s blog!  I swear we share tastebuds. :)

I adapted my own version because of lack of greek yogurt in my refrigerator, but managed to make it just as yummy!  I’m really sad that I couldn’t upload my pictures (STUPID COMPUTER) but I’ll give you the ingredients so you can try it for yourself! It was awesome!

Buffalo Chicken Salad Sandwich!

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 C. Fat Free Cottage Cheese
  • 1/2 Tsp. Ranch Seasoning
  • 1 Can Swanson Chunk Chicken Breast in Water
  • 1 Tsp. Texas Pete Hot Sauce
  • 1 Thomas 100 Calorie Smart Start English Muffin
  • 2 Slices Tomato

Directions:

Combine first four ingredients in a small bowl.  Halve the english muffin and top each with mixture.  Top each with a tomato slice.

As soon as I can, I will upload these pics.  It was AWESOME.

With some salt n' pepper.

I also had some steamfresh veggies on the side in my big old Prgresso Soup mug that I won from Yum Yucky :)

It was a well rounded lunch!  I proceeded to unload and reload our dishwasher to help out the Momma.  Then I put some laundry away and cleaned up a bit.  I finally got my Under Armour gear on and headed out for a nice brisk 5 mile walk.  I took my camera and have lots of amazing pictures, but unfortunately they would not upload either!  Hopefully I can get this resolved tonight when I get home.  I love the way things look in the snow.  At mile #2, I passed my uncles house and stopped in to say hello.  My grandparents were there and I visited for a little while.   I wanted to make sure I was home by dark though, so I didn’t stay long. 

Leaving their house, I jogged the rest of the way home :)    A good three miles.  I passed some guys out shoveling/plowing and they were yelling things to me like “keep smiling” and “I thought I was hardcore“…haha.  I just can’t stand sitting around all day!  My Mom was working on taxes, my Dad was snow blowing, and my sister was on her computer all day.

When I got home I refueled with some frozen grapes

nom, nom.

and coffee. 

I sat down until about 6:30, watching NCIS with the little sis.  I got the munchies and decided to make a dinner of some loose veggies & salsa along with two 97% fat free Hebrew National Franks (40 cals. each)

BEST salsa in the world: Newman's Own Pineapple!

Veggie love.

After dinner, I vegged out for awhile, until the little sis got hungry for a milkshake.  I made her a chocolate covered strawberry milkshake and then made a plain chocolate one for my Mom, as requested.

My snacK? 

My Man, Orville has got my back ;)

A 100 calorie pack of Orville Reddenbacher KETTLE CORN!  Mmmm.   The perfect combo of sweet and salty :)   Then I went into a carb coma around 10PM, hoping for a delay from work in the morning and slept like a babe.
