…as Winnie the Pooh might describe it.  The weather in Cleveland has been so gross the past two days!  Freezing rain/sleet and cold cold temperatures!  YUCK!  I’m not ready for that yet! 

Mike and I went up to the gym to do a 4 mile run right when I got home from work.  I’m not sure what it was with today, but it took me forever to get into my groove.  I don’t think I hit it until about 3.15 miles on the treadmill.   That being said – my total time was around 46 minutes, which is certainly not spectacular, but when I start to get down on myself for my time not being better than last time – I need to remember that two years ago – I could barely walk even a mile!

For dinner, I decided to go with a quick and easy sweet potato/black bean combo – keeping in the color scheme of Halloween!

This time – I topped it with: black beans (OBVIOUSLY), jalapenos, cheese, ketchup, Frank’s, and a few garbanzo beans just to be crazy!

And for a mid “watching House” snack – an apple and PB!

Otherwise, a pretty laid back night!  See ya tomorrow!

Super quick recap and I’m outta here!

Breakfast:  Spicy Oatmeal – I gave you a before and after to switch it up!

Eggies/Sausage:

Oatmeal and Frank’s!

All mixed up!

Lunch:  Spinach salad, with tomato, turkey pepperoni, chick peas, and cucumber:

Repeat brussel sprouts:

Snack: pudding, carrots and PB – I’M ADDICTED!

It’s after 6 and I’m still at work!  AH!   Gotta go!

First, let me start of by saying thank you to everyone for all of the anniversary wishes!

Second, I promise, tomorrow – the header will be back to normal and I’ll stop inundating you with wedding pictures.   So what does that mean?   Wedding pictures are coming!

Warning – sappy alert!: A year ago today, I married my best friend (gag – right? ).  But it’s true!!!  And we were surrounding by all of the closest people in our lives, who we care about and love very much.  We really do have amazingly wonderful friends and family in our lives.  Our wedding day could not have been any more perfect!  There, I’m done!  For a year at least!    Now I’m making you look at 5 more wedding pictures – and that’s it!

Also – Happy Anniversary to my parents! (I’m not sure how often they read - but if they do – here’s your shout out!)  Mike and I got married on their anniversary!

Warning #2 - The 3rd picture – well, let’s just say – we don’t take ourselves very seriously.  You only live once, and you should have some fun.  Sorry if anyone is offended by it!

If you were wondering, we used Noble Images, based out of Cuyahoga Falls, in Ohio.  They are a phenomenal husband/wife team – who I just can’t recommend highly enough.  If you are getting married – HIRE THEM!

Finished – thanks for bearing with me!

For breakfast, I had spicy oats – since I finished off my pumpkin last week. It tasted SOO good. The thing with me, is I’ll eat the same exact thing over and over again (I don’t tire easily) – but when I finally do make the switch – I’m usually really glad I did.

Then, I snacked on some carrots and PB, as well as a few pickles around 11.

Funny quirk about me: Nubs (for lack of a better term) – really freak me out. I never eat the end of pickles, and sometimes, depending on how they look – carrots.  Hey – it’s not like I don’t tell you guys all the time that I’m weird!

For lunch – I had a sad salad,   I need to go to the grocery store.  Just chick peas, and a tomato:

I also tried out the individual Birds Eye brussel sprout packs - these are definitely going to be put into rotation!

And for a snack – I finally at the Fage with Cherries that I had picked up at Whole Foods.  It was REALLY sweet – almost too sweet.  And I was really surprised at how fake/processed the cherries tasted.

Next time – I’m sticking with the plain old Fage % – here’s a shot from above – I added some honey as well.

Hope you are having a good Monday – I can’t believe Halloween is this weekend, and that it’s already almost November – CRAZY!
