Gourmet Dinner and Paper Plates

 Exactly 2 exciting things happened in my life today!

1.  I received my 3 new shirts from Skinny Runner today!  Yeah! I absolutely love Skinny Runner...you must check out her blog.....she was also sweet enough to send me 2 of her "Life's Funner with a Runner" stickers (double whoop whoop!)


Shirt #1:  It's not about vanity It's about sanity
Shirt #2:  I wanna punch running in the face
Shirt #3: Team Skinny Runner

AND...drumroll.....the 2nd exciting thing to happen to

me today is......:

I cooked a really good dinner!! and yes
I serve all meals on paper plates...I hate dishes.

Zucchini, Squash, Asparagus, Portabello Mushrooms, Grilled Chicken and

Nishiki Sticky Brown Rice = YUMMY!!!

*Workouts: Yesterday - 4 miles and Bodyrock and Today: 4 miles and more Bodyrock (75 high knees while jumping rope plus 25 sandbag squats x 10) - I was dripping sweat!  

NUTS!

TODAY's WORKOUT:  5 miles plus killer Bodyrock.tv workout.....18 minutes of  THE ATTACKING HOT WARRIOR WORKOUT! 

and since I didn't post yesterdays, I will now:  4 miles plus Jump Up-Knee Hug-Power Up Exercise Challenge (also a bodyrock.tv special!!)

and on to day's post>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I"m sitting at work....

Don't I look super excited
right now?   I'm actually very
busy but needed a five minute
break to de-stress.  These little
breathers help me be more productive.

I figure its better than running out
to the nearest mall and shopping
which is what I would really love
to do right now...but ALAS I cannot
as I spent my last dollar having someone
else clean my toilets yesterday! Seriously..
totally worth it!!

Anyway, I'm feeling a bit hungry...already ate my yogurt and granola for breakfast....already had 3 cups of must have coffee...hmmm now what?
I don't want to bust out my lunch (yummy chili leftovers!) right now because I usually work late and will get very very very did I say very hungry later and eat
all the mini chocolate bars that my mom keeps bringing into the office (damn her!)

So I chose to eat some nuts....I am a huge fan of cashews and I like some other nuts...but
definitely cashews are my favorite...but my mom buys these huge jars of mixed nuts and they have like 5 cashews in them...uggg! check em out....this looks more like a jar of Almonds and Monster Ugly Nuts!

Well my 5 minutes are up...back to the grind!...but I will be back...I have an amazing video to post later (totally inspired by Sarah's earlier post)

Bye for now......Danielle
