Lots of mint lovers out there, it seems 😀  Whatever works to keep you on track, right?
Just mostly eats today. I have been posting all about rehab – now it’s time for food! 😀  I have been on good track for most of the month, which was one of my monthly goals – and I can’t believe there will be a monthly recap in a couple of days already.
I was sleepy this morning. Now that I have finished the rehab, I have to say that I have felt very tired the last few days. Â It was a big project to work on, and honestly – I am not getting any younger!
Today called for a nice warming breakfast. Â Banana bread pudding. Â I think some people pinned this because I am getting a ton of traffic this page from Pinterest.
Topped with almond butter and homemade strawberry jam. Â Good stuff indeed!
Work was very busy today. Good thing because it is going to be getting slower and I will probably have to flex hours around to get work in. Â That’s the nature of the transcription industry, though. Â If you think you can work a set schedule, it is highly unlikely. Â Maybe most of the time, but certainly not all of the time.
Lunch time. It was 40 degrees out today and to celebrate the heat wave, I had Greek yogurt! Â Blueberry sauce and some Oh’s. Â John used to eat this cereal all the time and decided to get some for old time’s sake. Â It’s tasty stuff, actually.
I also got something I haven’t had in a while for a snack. Lindt dark chocolate with a hint of sea salt. Â It pairs perfectly with the latte.
2 square serving has only about 90 calories.
John and I had completely different meals tonight. All leftovers LOL! Â I had some pork tenderloin that we cooked the other day, along with the usual trimmings.
John ended up eating red beans and rice he pulled from the freezer. We eat dinner together, but not always the same thing (and he never has the broccoli, silly boy). Good thing John cooks because I don’t make 2 meals.
Going out tonight to drop off my guitar for fixing. I have been playing my old one and it sounds terrible. Or I make it sound terrible, I guess. It’s hard to go back to a student model when you have a nicer one.  I don’t want to practice because I am not enjoying it so much.  After dropping it off, then to console with coffee.  😛
Stay tuned tomorrow for the final bathroom pictures! Yay!
I’m a mint girl too–also often suck on one while exercising. There was a study that showed that carbs detected by the roof of your mouth during exercise improve performance, before/whether the sugar is actually processed. I know that for me, just one little mint always gives me more energy. (I also find it to be a good insomnia cure, paradoxically enough!)
(also love dark chocolate w/sea salt. I was looking for my favorite brand in Target last night but the ones they had expire in a week. Waiting on the fresh stuff…)
(ha, I didn’t intentionally insert that smiley–but it does fit!)
I was thinking about that banana bread recipe this morning but didn’t want to take the time to make it! I have to laugh at you going out in the 40 degree weather to enjoy the heat wave! We walked outside this morning and it was only 39 degrees and we were so cold!
We do eat the same things for dinner except for vegetables, I often make 2 kinds of vegetables because R. doesn’t like all vegetables. For example he doesn’t like broccoli either.
OMG, celebrating 40 degrees!!! I am waiting for our high 70’s tomorrow to be warm! 😉 We are such babies here!
Love that recipe & tweeted & pinned again so expect more traffic! 🙂
YES, you should be tired after all that rehab work – that would put e down for weeks! 😉
Mt dad used to be addicted to Oh’s!
It’s pretty amusing (pathetic?) when you live in an area where 40 degrees is considered a heat wave. I just have to remind myself it’s the price I pay for more mild summers. Can’t wait for the big reveal!!!
Good eats, as always. I haven’t tried that chocolate with sea salt yet. I’ve been having a little dark chocolate for a snack lately–must try.
I’m glad you are able to get your guitar fixed!
My husband is on coumadin for a heart valve replacement, so he can’t have dark green veggies anymore. When they told him at the hospital that, he was like “now my wife can’t force me to eat broccoli anymore!”
I cracked up at the “40 degree heat wave”! You are FUNNY!!!! Dennis hates broccoli too. WHAT is wrong with our men??? 🙂 Look forward to the photos of the big reveal!!!! Have a good Wednesday.
Started to email you a pic of my breakfast yesterday morning. I had Banana Breakfast Pudding with coffee in my North Country Cafe mug. It was breakfast in your honor!! LOL!
I seem to have mental block on the pudding since I have yet to make your version of it. But I think it sounds like a perfect start to my spring cleaning day tomorrow. 🙂
I usually prefers the Greek yogurt with lots of fruits like apple, orange, pears, strawberry, raspberry and honey in the morning. It makes my stomach full up to lunch time. It’s low calorie food with great taste.
