Niki's Neverending Adventure

Happy Friday!! I am so happy it’s the weekend! I definitely need a brain break from class! We always have to think WAY too hard on Fridays!!

Let’s back up to this morning… I woke up at 5am to get in a 4 miler before class. I did my usual 5-4-3-2-1 Fartleck run but it felt extra hard today and I was sweating bullets!! I think I was pretty dehydrated from not drinking nearly enough yesterday! Amazing how much that makes a difference in my running!! But, I made it through my 4 miler (while watching this weeks 24)!!

After getting showering and getting ready, it was time for breakfast and my tummy was growling!! I mixed it up a bit this morning and had a big bowl of cereal.

In the mix:

• The rest of my Oh’s (~3/4 cup)
• Kashi H2H 1/2 cup
• 1 banana, sliced
• 3/4 cup nonfat milk

Yum! I forgot how much I love cold cereal! It tastes so good, just doesn’t hold me over very long :(

I also had more Hazelnut coffee in my VERY favorite mug!

 

For snack during class, I brought a Grapefruit!!

 

I peeled it like an orange! Love the pretty pinkness of it!

It was kinda sour, but very good!

I didn’t get home from school until about 1:30pm and I was beyond STARVING. To the point that I thought I was going to pass out from hunger!! I immediately grabbed a few chips and salsa while I decided what to make for lunch!

After staring into the fridge for a few minutes, I knew exactly what I wanted. A VEGGIE SCRAMBLE!

For my veggie scramble., I mixed:

• 2 eggs
• Spinach
• Chopped Onion
• Chopped Sweet Pepper
• Chopped Tomato
• Black Beans

Scramble everything up and top with some shredded cheddar and a lot of Texas Pete Hot Sauce! I am usually a ketchup and eggs kinda girl but I have recently fallen in love with Texas Pete Hot Sauce!!

I also had the rest of my leftover Roasted Acorn Squash with ketchup. Perfect lunch combo!!

And a brownie for dessert :)

I spent the rest of the afternoon working on a take home test for school and cleaning up my house so the plumbers can come bust up my floors tomorrow and fix my pipes. Glad it will be finished tomorrow. I am also going to Low’s In Arkansas to figure out my wedding dress situation. Wish me luck!

I headed over to my parents house this evening. I am spending the night there since we have to leave for Arkansas super early.

My lunch kept me pretty full all afternoon, but I did have a few pretzels while making dinner.

My mom was cooking Chicken and Dumplings for dinner (my fave) but I couldn’t have any since I’m not eating meat right now. So sad :(  So, I made myself some pasta!!

Barilla WW Penne with some Creamy Tomato Sauce!! I added a different variety of veggies in my sauce tonight!! It contained:

• Onion
• Garlic
• Chopped Onion
• Chopped Bell pepper
• Chopped Broccoli

Loved the Broccoli addition! I will have to remember that one!!

One the side I had a fruit cup.

Now all together

And for dessert, some Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream! Yum!!

I am currently watching The Olympics and waiting for Apolo Ohno to win the Gold in short track!! Go Apolo!!

I don’t know what I’m gonna do when The Olympics are over! My nights will be so open! Haha!!

What are your plans for the weekend?? I already told y’all about my day tomorrow so hopefully Sunday will be more relaxing!!

Have a GREAT night!!
