Another day, another dollar, right? My plan was to bike this morning, but then I laid there and thought I would go out later. So, I just got up and made some brekkie!
I have a problem wolfing down my waffles. I think it is because they are never as hot as my oat dishes, so I can eat faster. That’s a project to work on.
We are getting set up for the new windows. I think we chose the right company, which actually happened to have the best price, too! We got a very good vibe from them, and the person that came in to do the final measure this morning was great and answered every little question. It will take about 5-7 weeks or so before our windows are done. They have to be made. Nice that these windows are made in the US, too. Plus we get the tax credit on them. The company better appreciate doing 17 windows! That is a chunk of change. Once the windows are installed, I will talk about the company. Don’t want to recommend before the job is finished!
Lunch break included some vanilla yogurt mixed with pumpkin and All-Bran.
Plus a kiwi on the side.
This tasted so refreshing and yummy!
I spent some time this afternoon getting set up with my new company. The software installation is what takes the time, and I have to fit it in while I am still working the other job. I was told that nobody runs out of work, but you never really know if that is true or not, because there are slow periods for everyone around holidays. I should start training on my new accounts later this week.
Time for a chocolate snack with my latte:
Dark chocolate with raspberry bits. Tasty!
Can you believe it is almost the end of June? I am going to try something really, really different for me in July as part of my goal series. At least I think I am, as I have some trepidations about it. I’ll outline my goals on July 1. I still can’t believe I am writing out the word July!
Dinner time and I went old school with some seasoned french fries. John put these in the grocery cart, and I had thought they were sweet potato fries, but they weren’t! I liked them, too 😀
Chicken topped with caramelized onions. We made up a bunch and froze some. I can’t imagine life without a freezer, can you? That’s a little pluot on the side, there. So juicy.
After some self debate, I decided to take a day off of exercise. I have not had a real rest day since last Thursday, and the rest of the week is booked up with workouts. So instead, I am going out with my mom for a little R&R! The question is…. coffee or frozen yogurt???
Good for you listening to your body!
I love the food photos you take. I’m craving kiwi now.

Rest days feel good when you’ve been working out hard, don’t they? It sounds like you were due for one.
Maybe the treat of the day should be a coffee-flavored frozen yogurt?

Yay to new windows, new jobs and new goals!
Have fun with your mom!

Oooh, I hope you chose the froyo!
Yes, you know my vote is on the froyo too! And that is a great idea cooking up the carmelized onions ahead of time and freezing them.

three cheers for the bodylove and the listening to the bod and the rest day!!
I have never heard of a pluot before. So of course I had to google it. Sounds good.
I have a problem wolfing down my food too. Even when it’s hot I just burn myself 🙂
We rode for 8 miles last night. I’m getting there. My legs are KILLING me this morning.

When I first saw that picture, I thought your pluot was a grape and I was like, wow that must be a really little plate! hehe 🙂

Good luck with the windows! We’re getting 30 new ones installed sometime in July. They are being manufactured now, just waiting to hear on the install date.

OK, I can’t wait to hear your July goals! You have me on the edge of my seat! I know.. JULY!
Glad you listened to the bod & rested & enjoyed…. always nice when you work out hard!

Good for you. The body knows when it needs a day off. It’s thanking you for listening.
Answer to your question: Coffee, of course!

I’m excited to hear about your July goals, luckily it’s tomorrow 🙂
And wise decision to take a day off from working out, you need a rest every now and then.
I love those protein waffles Lori. I make several of them at once and freeze them. They feel like such a treat, yet are pretty clean eats. Glad you are taking a day of rest. I have learned that our bodies need those.

I can’t believe tomorrow is July! Crazy!!! I am in love with kiwi right now, so yummy and it was cheap! I picked up 8 for $1 the other day, can’t beat it 🙂

I never think to buy kiwi. They always look so tasty.
You know… I bought some kiwi the otherday as well as some frozen broccoli. I figured, Lori likes this and it’s always part of her meals. Why not….
Now, if I could just eat me some of that chocolate of yours… My July goal is to reduce my carbs and I’m slowly elminating sugar.

I think you should always have at least 1 day of rest. I know I fight myself to do this but I do get my one day. Especially lately with all I’ve been doing. So will you be working for 2 companies all the time or just till the new one is up and running?
