…I don’t like Mondays…

I love that song!  It’s been on all the House commercials since they changed dates, and now it’s TOTALLY stuck in my head.

Alright – now on to the recap of the weekend!

After my Saturday morning post – I headed to the gym to run my scheduled 5 miles!   Now – on my 4 mile run Thursday, I started off strong, and then got SUPER sick to my stomach after 1.5 miles (I think I didn’t give my dinner enough time to digest).  So I gave myself plenty of time after breakfast on Saturday – and went into the gym with high hopes!

I paced myself pretty well – and ended up running my 5 miles in 53:26, so an average of 10.5 minute miles – not too shabby.  When I got home, I was shaky I was so hungry, so I made myself a chickpea wrap, a Lean Cuisine, and an apple because I needed to chow down and meet my parents at Home Depot.  If I had more time, I would have skipped the Lean Cuisine and made something less processed.   But those are the trade-offs you have to make!

When I got home from Home Depot – I noticed a Foodbuzz package on our table – which is ALWAYS cause for excitement!   I tore right into it and found:

A new sample from the Foodbuzz Tastemakers program!  It was 6 bars of Quakers new product line – True Delights! I should have taken a picture of all 6 bars together, but honestly – I was WAY too excited to tear into this bar – the thought didn’t even cross my mind!! 

The Dark Chocolate Raspberry Almond was TO. DIE. FOR! There were big chunks of chocolate, and dried raspberry, and almonds – it was positively SCRUMPTIOUS!  And the whole bar is only 140 calories!  You really can’t beat that! 

For dinner – I made another TJ’s pizza…sorry I’ve been making so many of these lately – but they are SOOO EASY, and one of Mike’s favorites – so it’s always a WIN/WIN!

The two pieces missing are what I ate! 

Sunday morning I had a nice big bowl of Puffins for breakfast – these suckers always hit the spot – you just can’t go wrong with them!

And then headed over to my grandparents because my Grandpma was getting released from the hospital and coming home!!!  What was just supposed to be a quick visit, ended up turning into most of the day!   Grandpa was kind enough to shell out money and send me and my mom to TJ’s to pick up food for everyone – how cool is that?!?!  We picked up a huge container of fresh salsa. chips, sandwiches, sushi, and some frozen pizzas.   My spread consisted of 3 pieces of sushi, chips, and 1/2 of a turkey&swiss wrap:

I ate a hell of a lot more chips (AND SALSA!) than pictured here – don’t worry! 

I wasn’t even hungry until about 8pm last night – and I wasn’t in the mood for anything at our house – so I just picked some random crap out of our freezer, and went with it (sounds so exciting, right?)

A Boca burger, and 5 chicken pot stickers – woot woot!  

Did anyone watch Desperate Housewives last night?  I stopped watching it a few seasons ago – it just wasn’t holding my interest, but I happened to catch it last night while I was hanging on my couch, going through my Google Reader.  It brought me to tears!  By the end of the episode I had tears rolling down my face!!!  Anyone else?  Or am I alone??

I never did get around to painting our upstairs this weekend – although I bought the primer, and washed the walls, so I guess I took a few steps in the right direction!
