Well, hello there. How have you been?? I know, long time no blog.It’s been over a week since I even logged into WordPress. I guess you could say I took a little holiday from social media. Not intentionally, of course. Life just got in the way. I wish I could tell you I was on a real vacation, but sadly, I wasn’t. I wish I could tell you that I was purposefully taking some me-time. Nope, just busy.
But what better day to make a come back if not on Wednesday???? Thanks of course to Jenn at Peas and Crayons for hosting the linkup!! So let’s get this party started! First of all, let me say that I am not a workout-in-the-morning kind of person. I am a sit-with-my-coffee-and-blog kind of person. But yesterday, I got up early to get on the treadmill before my shower! 30 minutes of incline intervals. After the treadmill, I jumped off and did 50 squats, 50 lunges, 25 push ups, and 25 overhead presses. I was a sweaty mess by the time I got in the shower!
I didn’t take a picture of it, but my breakfast this morning was a protein shake. I simply take a scoop of my cookies n’ cream whey protein powder, add a tablespoon of PB2, the rest of my cooled-off mug of coffee, top with water, then shake. Yummy!! It had also snowed overnight. Not much, but enough to delay school for an hour.
It also delayed me getting to work.As you can see from the tracks, I attempted multiple times to leave my driveway but it just wasn’t happening. I would drive up, slide back down, drive up, slide back down. The hill doesn’t look like much in the picture, but it definitely gets steeper closer to the road. So, funny story …. I had a meeting at 10am at a client’s office very close to my house. But my presentations were still sitting on my desk. I texted my boss and asked him if he could grab the presentations and meet me out at the client’s office. I even sent him this picture of my driveway to prove I wasn’t making this up. Well, 30 minutes go by and I don’t hear from him. At 9 o’clock I text him again. Nothing. So hubby tries to make it out of the driveway in my car. He did it on the first try. Whatever. I made the path for him. Anways, it takes me 20 minutes to get to work. I walk in the door just at the moment we need to leave for the client’s office, and I notice he is not there. So I call him on his cell phone, asking him what the plan was. He said he would meet me there. Fine. But then I asked him if he got my text messages. He said he had just woken up. It was 9:30am!!!!! Seriously?? So it’s a very good thing that I did drive all the way to work (only to drive right back to a place a few miles from my house), because otherwise no one would have had the presentations.
By the time the meeting was over and I was back at my desk, it was 1pm and I was starving!!!! I brought a salad from home. It doesn’t look pretty. Perhaps it doesn’t travel well. Or perhaps it doesn’t photograph well. But it was delicious. Mixed greens, grape tomatoes, mushrooms, hard-boiled egg, cheese, jalapenos, sriracha and ranch. With deer meat. Yes, I said deer meat. Hubby is a hunter so we typically have a venison roast in the freezer. We recently put it in the crock pot so I’ve been using the leftovers for salads and wraps. So yummy!
For dinner, I was in the mood to cook. But the only meat we had left in the fridge was ground beef. So I made pizza meat loaf. One of the kids’ favorites!! (And possibly mine too). With mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.
(And before you comment on her lack of clothes, she won’t keep them on. But it works out well during meal times because they she doesn’t get food on her clothes)!
So there you have it. What I ate Wednesday. I may have left out a few little snacks here and there. But for the most part, that was it.Tell me – what did you eat Wednesday??? And did you prepare it yourself or did you go out?
