Anyways, I went for a run this morning. I didn’t realize it was raining until I got outside, so I cut it short and did 2.25 miles in 20 minutes. Not a bad run, but very short. I made up for it the rest of the day weeding and getting my uncle’s pool ready for set up,the set up that didn’t happen and was rescheduled for tomorrow night : (
Breakfast was a yogurt mess with 2/3 cup nonfat plain yogurt, some vanilla extract, 3/4 serving of Cinnamon Raisin Granola, and 1 serving of wheat germ. This bowl was the perfect combination! I’ll be making this again!
After breakfast I ran some errands
- bank to cash some paychecks
- Kinko’s to fax the pool opening contract
- the pool store to try and replace a part of the pump
- the natural food’s store to get some treats for the blogger swap (and maybe for myself too…oops!)
When I got back, I made some lunch. I had a chicken sausage, and some broccoli, cheese, and rice mix.
At 2:30 I drove to my Uncle’s house to get ready for the pool set-up. I worked on getting some leaves out of the pool, and trying to get some of the water out. I also weeded some. Around 4:00 I had a Diet Mt. Dew.
I also snacked slowly on a new bar, the Banana & Oat Bran KIND Bar!
This was my first time trying any flavor of KIND Bar. It was very satisfying and kept me full for a few hours. The ingredients list was pretty clean, although not entirely, and it only had 160 calories total, which is about what I like for a snack. You could add a piece of fruit if you were still hungry and not be overloading on the snacks.
While I liked this KIND Bar, I’m not sure I like chewy bars as much as I like crunchy ones. The flavor was very banana-y and a little bit coconut-y which I liked, and for a chewy bar, it had good texture and consistency. I broke it into two pieces and those pieces stayed together without crumbling which was nice. I would probably buy this bar again, although they are a bit expensive at about $2.19 each at most stores, so I would probably only buy it for an occassional treat or I would buy a few if I found them on sale (I did today at the health food store for $1.25 so I picked up a few, and a different flavor to try next!).
My Uncle’s dog Bud kept getting in my car, every time I opened the door, so I took a picture of him, yep that’s what happens when I have a camera on me all the time.
Well, like I said the pool guys never showed up, they called to reschedule but not until an hour and a half after they were supposed to be there.
When Tyler got home, dinner wasn’t quite ready yet so we had a watermelon appetizer!
Dinner resembled lunch a great deal, eat what you like right! I had another chicken sausage, steamed broccoli, and 3.5 oz of roasted sweet potatoes, with some ketchup for dipping. Yum!
I’ll be having some dessert shortly, but I’m not sure what yet. Then I’ll be folding more laundry…can you tell how excited I am about it.
Tomorrow should be a good day, I get to meet up with my dad and a distant relative for breakfast/coffee, and the pool will finally be set up at my uncle’s. If it is as hot as it was today, I may just get in!
Lastly, if you have some free time you should check out these sweet giveaways! I hope I win them!
