Jogging My Memory

Today was very uneventful, which was absolutely fine with me.

Tyler and I didn’t wake up until about 9:45, so breakfast was late. I wasn’t in the mood to cook anything for myself, so I ate a White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Clif Bar with a Clementine and a glass of soymilk.

After lazing around a bit Tyler got into gear, while he shoveled ice from the driveway I vacuumed 90% of the house – I’m calling that my workout for the day. I was definitely sweating.

After we both finished our “chore” of sorts, we packed up and drove to Tyler’s parents house. I had a lunch/snack of a Clif Kid Twisted Fruit, half a bag of Cocoa Roasted Almonds, and Cheez It’s.

We chatted with Tyler’s parents and watched football for most of the afternoon. Then at 5:30 Tyler and I drove to a local YMCA for his basketball league. It was a lot of fun to watch Tyler play basketball. He’s pretty good, I must say, and he really enjoys playing, so he’s fun to watch.

After basketball, we headed back to his parent’s house for dinner. Tyler’s Mom had put together a combination of healthy choices. I had a side salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers, with lite Honey Mustard dressing, and croutons.

The rest of my dinner was a piece of marinated grilled salmon, rice pilaf, some macaroni and cheese, steamed broccoli, and a roll.

Tyler’s Mom makes some awesome homemade macaroni and cheese that I cannot say no to. I guess it’s ok since I only eat it every once in awhile, and I didn’t have a huge portion of it (although I definitely wanted to haha).

Dessert was a low fat version of key lime pie made with lite cool whip, lime jello, key lime yogurt, and lime juice, with a graham cracker crust.

It was delish! I love key lime anything!

I’ve also snacked on a few mini chocolates throughout the course of the evening – they avoided the camera.

Tomorrow I’m heading into Grand Rapids with Tyler when he goes to work, then one of my parents is picking me up and taking me back out to the lakeshore so that I can make my 1pm appointment with the potential caterer.

I hope you had a relaxing weekend. I’m still winding down from all the holiday hub bub. I still have a few more days in Michigan before I head back to warm California. I hate to leave Tyler, but it will be nice to be in 50° temps again and able to run outside.

Do you still have more holiday time left, or do you have to head back to work/school tomorrow?

Have a great Monday either way!
