This morning coming back in and getting settled was tough! I swear that yesterdays post was suppose to be up for Monday morning but for some reason it didn't post! I went through all the trouble to get a great post up for you all and it didn't happen. Oh well, it is up now but for Tuesday instead.
Enough about Tuesday! It is Wednesday and I am SO glad. This week is half way through and I am looking forward to a packed weekend. I have Christmas parties to attend, a wedding and craft shows! I am excited. Both of my roommates will be having guests staying with me as well so I should have a full house! I think that we may be having a party as well...who knows! Anything could happen.
I have so many things as I know that you all do too before Christmas is here. The traffic yesterday was hideous and people seem to be in a rush everywhere I go. I had to return a pair of pants at the mall yesterday and I had to stand in a line that wrapped around the whole department. It is times like this that you have to remember to breathe deep and be calm.
Something did happen REALLY great on my day off. I am getting one of these!!!
That's right! I am getting a soda streamer...If there is one thing that most of my friends and family knows, it is that I am a fizzy water addict. I probably drink a liter and a half A DAY of the stuff. I contacted this company as soon as I found it and asked if there was anyway that I could try it out. Luckily for me, they agreed. I literally jumped for joy when I got the response. This is the best Christmas gift EVER!!! So I am going to be posting a full review of this item as soon as I get it. Keep your eyes pealed, it will be up before Christmas. It would make a fantastic gift if you need a idea. The possibilities with the soda streamer is endless. I cant wait!

I cant wait!Something else that happened to me on my day off is I lost my phone. If you know me, you would know how unlikely I would loose something. I NEVER forget anything and I NEVER loose anything. It is just not me. I swear I have been so forgetful this past week. I dont know where my head is! Without a phone I have no contact with friends or family and I have no alarm clock. THANKFULLY, I have a wonderful friend that dropped this off for me late last night. 
John brought me a alarm clock so that I could be up on time this morning for work. Thanks John, your the best ;)
I got to work and immediately called the phone company to freeze my account and then had this for breakfast. 
Rudis bakery (best bread by the way) organic English whole wheat muffin with chopped banana and PB2. I usually have a side of 3 egg whites (for the protein) but I forgot the carton at home...
I am going to have some fat free cottage cheese right before my walk today. Something else that was GREAT about my day off was this. 
I went swimming! First time this whole winter. I don't know what it is about the cold weather but getting in the pool is not something that appeals to me. I decided to go to the weight room and lift first. I got very warm and then headed over to the pool. What a great idea that was! I am totally getting back into the swing of swimming. It made me feel SO good. My knee wouldn't allow me to do it before but now that I have fully recovered it is a great way to get in some low impact cardio. After lifting heavy the water made my muscles relax. I LOVE swimming because it allows me to think. Does anyone else feel this way? If I need to mull something over....I swim. One thing about swimming though is it wears me out! I wasnt use to the effort so all day yesterday I was tired. It will take a little while for me to get use to it. I plan on adding swimming to may routine at least once or twice a week. More than likely on Saturday or Sunday.

I plan on adding swimming to may routine at least once or twice a week. More than likely on Saturday or Sunday. Back to today. I plan on getting in some much needed cardio. I am walking on my lunch break and then will more than likely walking with Karen after work and then maybe go for a small run (30 minutes) at the Y at around 6:30. We will see. For lunch today I am having the same thing as last week (with only four days of work this week I didn't want to be creative). Simple but delicious! 
Steamed chicken with tomato, avocado and cucumber. This was eaten after my hour long walk. I also had some raw bell pepper and spicy mustard for a light snack a few hours after.
Dinner this evening will consist of more soup and temphe with mushrooms and onion. 
The addition of tempeh is amazing! It is so filling and I loved the rice noodles too. I am sure that this will appear at some point during the day. 
I still have one more bar of this chocolate. It is sooooo good! I will more than likely eat half of it tonight. I have a really hard time with chocolate...I love it!
