Well a Happy Wet Wednesday to you!
Like most of the country we are suffering from some serious rain today. We are experiencing some serious flooding right now around the state. I am just glad this is not the ice storm they were calling for, but I could have enjoyed a little snow 
I think I had snow on the brain because I thought it would be fun to make snowflake eggs! In hindsight I think gingerbread man eggs would have worked out better.
I used a pancake mold that my mom had sent me in a holiday package for the mold.
Can you see the snowflake????? I would scrabble the eggs next time too…
Along with my eggs I had 2 pieces of sprouted grain bread with smart balance and almond butter along with an apple.
I liked this switch in breakfast. I was getting a little bored with eating things out of a bowl.
OK time to get a move on! I want to get on the road early to get through the flooding.
Sissy also liked the box Mom sent, literally.
Enjoy your Wednesday!

Yikes, last night got a little out of control, but it was fun and a good time to splurge. It was Nick’s Mom’s birthday dinner at Libratore’s and that usually involves bottles of wine.
Before we getting to dinner I still have the beginning of my day…
I ended up finding out that the gym was going to be open until 4 so I got down there around 10 to do 20min hill on the t-mill, 10min 10 incline at 4, 20min 1 incline at a 7mph. I also did some core work and push ups before leaving.
The weather was/is still really gross around here (I saw SNOW on cars at Trader Joe’s this morning!!!) all I wanted was grilled cheese and tomato soup.
I spilt a can of Amy’s low sodium tomato soup with Nick and made toasted grilled cheeses with mustard and roasted red peppers on an Arnold Thin. I also had 2 sandwich pickles and some Sun Chips x3?
Mmmm cheesy. I would rather have more cheese and toast it rather than pan grill in butter.
I also had an Adore disk for some chocolate!
Around 5:30 Nick’s mom and step dad came over for a drink before dinner. I had some goat cheese and mixed nuts set, but I was still pretty full from lunch and I knew lots of food and drink was to come.
Dinner was fun, lots of wedding talk for Nick’s sister. Nick and Wally wanted to kill themselves
I got the lemon salad to start. Now I love lemon, but there was just a little too much lemon on there even for me! I was really tasty so I was upset that I couldn’t finish it.
For my main course I got the linguini with white clam sauce. One of my favorite light dishes!
I split a bottle of not the best Chianti with Nick and Wally, had some pumpkin cake, an Irish coffee and a pear vodka and soda.
You think that was all??? Nope…I must say when Nick and I got home we played some mortal kombat (I got creamed) and I also ate a ton of Kashi crackers, mixed nuts from earlier and we split the last serving of pumpkin ice cream…yep we had been drinking!
Overall it was a fun night with good people. What more could you ask for?
**************************************
SUNDAY CAW!
The Raven’s have a huge hard game today… fingers crossed!
When I woke up I had no idea what I wanted but I had 1 egg taking up a lot of room in the fridge with its carton. So I had a two sided breakfast on toast.
On one side organic flax bread, 1 egg microwaved with hot sauce. Other side with almond butter, jam and naner.
Hot sauce that would make GDW proud!
I am making the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Coconut bars that I saw Krista Make.
Here are the ingredients and I will let you know how they tastes with dinner!
GO Raven’s!!!!

So last night’s dinner was delicious! We went to a local place, like 1/2 mile, Sabor. It is a small place that is mainly French with a few additions.
It started off with an amuse bouche of corn biscuit with cayenne and goat cheese.
Followed by a frisee salad with warm sherry vinegrette and blue cheese. I also had some of my mom’s beet salad with goat cheese. There was also cornbread that was really nice because it wasn’t all sugar like most cornbreads.
They were all delicious!
And then the main course came!
Yuckie flash picture, but I was so embarrassed that I had it go off in the restaurant I couldn’t take another. I got the giant NY Strip steak with roasted Brussel sprouts and spaghetti squash. There was also a potato wedge that I didn’t touch so I could save some room for dessert!
This was amazing! Nick and my mom said they weren’t going to have any and ended up helping me out. This was a bread pudding/ flan mix (I can’t remember the exact name) with cranberries.
My belly was full and happy!
Today!
Mom and I woke up early for some omelets and apples.
We then headed out for a walk on the NCR trail to stretch my legs, which were surprisingly not very sore just tired. It was such a nice crisp fall morning! After our walk we hit up Wegmans for some groceries and Caribou coffee for light white berry.
Mom and I also had lentil soup and 1/2 a WW bagel with flax…not pictured because we were too busy finally getting the art work up in our apt!
During the Ravens second loss 
I had a pumpkin pie yogurt and some granola!
I also had a few grapes.
Dinner involved WW pita with leftover lentils from Friday dinner, and a big salad with CT lettuce, broccoli, tomatoes, and a hot pepper that I thought was supposed to be sweet! I also had some pumpkin ice cream and the last of the amoretto cookies from race day! Man those things are D-E-L-I-S-I-O-U-S! Delicious!
Sicily and I are relaxing and watching Marley and Me then heading to bed. We have a long day of putting putting the place back together and another visit to the vet At least I don’t have to go to work! Tomorrow expect a full race re-cap!
Night Night!

Sorry followers I am going to have to make this short. I need to get some things done before heading out the the door to prepare for momma!!!
I could not look a straight up carbs this mornings so I turned to an old favorite, the incredible edible egg!!!
1 egg with 1 egg white, skim, S&P omelet. Filling of spinach and an LC wedge (that I did not get mashed in enough )
I was really happy to switch this up! I also made a fruit smoothie with frozen blueberries, flax, banana, skim and plain Cobani.
It is raining out…just like it will be tomorrow at this time when I am getting ready to head into the city for the 1/2 marathon ahhhh! Picking up my packet tonight then home to chill with mom and Sicily (who is still not better )
You can still donate for the animals!!!!!
Happy Friday!

All thumbs up at the dentist! WooHoo! I seem to always have teeth issues and it is NOT because I don’t brush there is just something with my teeth that they don’t understand and causes me to have px toothpaste.
Back-up a bit…at work we finally got to SHRED documents! Well actually we put docs into a bin that will be shredded off site. So it wasn’t the dramatic shred I was hoping for, but we did get a ton of files out of the place.
We broke for lunch at 12, and I got to try my soup from last night!
I was amazing! Nice and spicy with the smokieness of the cumin and the sweetness of the corn. Check it out! You can see the tomatillo seeds
I also had some white peach, strawberries and an adora disk. Oh and obviously a large piece of delicious honey oat bread for dipping!
I got to leave at 1pm for the dentist and it was like I was skipping out on school. Working only 5 hours was amazing!
After my 100% check and gold star I headed over to a small shopping park for a few more things to add to my Boston bound package!!!
Oh and what did I find??? Only that Sports Her Way was having a HUGE sale! I have been wanting to get some more gear for running (I currently have mostly lax gear from college) and 50% off under armour and nike was just up my alley. Check out my running gear from this evening!
Two new pairs of dry weave shorts and nike dryfit tanks. You can also see what is going on with my garden…not so good. Well at least my tomatoes don’t like the deck.
I did 4 miles of hills in 34min. My legs felt like lead, but I still managed a pretty fast pace. I remember Wed. was my hardest day last week too. Will be interesting to follow.
AND dinner! I really had no idea what to make so I went with two plates full of lots of goodies.
Plate one had: 1 egg + 1 egg white + sauteed onions + green salsa + avocado and a baby sweet potato. Plate two had: sweet pepper, cucumber, tomato and chickpea hummus. I love plates for dinner, delicious! So many flavors and variety. I am assuming I will have the same PB and 1/2 arnold thin with tea in a little bit, once I get those things in my mind I can’t get them out.
Hope everyone enjoyed their Wednesday!!!!
