Good Morning Everyone! I hope you are all have a great morning-mine is going well because today means only one more day of work for the week
I have been pretty busy lately so I am really looking forward to a weekend at home. I think this weekend will include some type of soup, maybe some wine and definitely some popcorn with a good movie… I am such a grandma lately but for some reason I really enjoy staying in sometimes. Anyways, onto some food! Monday Morning was a simple bowl of cereal with skim milk.

For lunch on Monday I packed up an apple, some celery with peanut butter and left over Quinoa.

After work, Michelle asked me if I would like to go to dinner with her to Red Lobster and who am I to turn down free seafood??? So, I got the usual shrimp, crab and flounder combo.

Tuesday morning I had a coffee from Alterra along with a piece of cranberry nut bread. If you ever go to Alterra, this bread is a must! Trust me, it has a nice combination of sweetness and tartness. A+ in my book

For lunch on Tuesday, I took some light soup, greek yogurt and some pretzels to snack on throughout the day. I love this combo because it is so easy to eat at my desk when I am crazy busy.

Dinner Tuesday night was at Emily’s she made butternut squash pilaf and grilled chicken. That girl can cook, let me tell ya! This was the first time that I had butternut squash and I am hoping it is not my last, it was good! It also filled me up because when I got home on Tuesday night I went straight to bed. Wednesday morning, I made some oatmeal with 1 cup of oats, 1/4 cup of trail mix, water, cinnamon, truvia, nutmeg, cloves and pom seeds. I made enough for 2 servings, so I packed one up and took it with me to work.

I know I took a picture of my lunch from Wednesday, but I cannot find it anywhere. I packed up an apple and a soup at hand. I knew I would be really busy since it was a payroll day so I made sure to have easy to eat foods for lunch. For my afternoon snack, I popped a bag of popcorn and had a can of Cola Zevia. For dinner last night, I made a salad using lettuce, celery, carrots, green peppers and crutons.

I paired my salad with a baked potato covered in a veggie chili topped with sour cream and cheese. This hit the spot when I got home- it reminded me of home cooking.

After I ate dinner, I went shopping with Michelle. I have been looking for a new coat for a very long time now- I want to say a good 2 years. You see, I had a very nice pea coat before I lost weight. Once the weight came off I still had the same coat. I have been looking for one that is the style I want and affordable. After 2 years of searching, I finally found one at New York and Company Let me know what you think:

I also bought this green sweater:

I was happy with my purchases last night. I was especially happy when I got home to see that the fiance made me some Raspberry Crisp! He found the recipe and made it while I was out shopping.

This was awesome! I guess he made it using raspberries, brown sugar, a little bit of butter and some oatmeal. He was a sneaky one last night
But, that is all I have for now- I will be back later with a new post, have a good day!
