Emailing with my Mom
We were both little home bodies yesterday so we pinged back and forth all day! She sent me some pics I'd never seen from a wedding I was in during May - I love this one of me and Austin!
Breakfast/Lunch
I made another herbed greek chicken salad - nom nom nom.

Haircut
Drove down to Buckhead, got all nostalgic (i'm such a loser), and got my hair cut by Kelly. Love her! She always styles it super fun, too - this time she made huge soft curls with a big round brush. Makes me happy. I always get dressed up for hair appointments (no make up but cute dress). I don't know why but I do. Here's a pic of the hair once I got home. Forgive the lazy eye. I'm sporting a t-shirt Austin got me when he was in NY last month - it says 'Hello My Name is Regina Phalange.' hehe
Whole Foods
This paycheck stealer is located right next to Van Michael on West Paces Ferry. I wondered in looking for some items I couldn't find at Kroger/Trader Joe's/World Market. I found the minced ginger! Woo!! And I got a few other goody's including strawberries I was craving and these noodles i've been dying to try per Hungry Girl's insistence: Shirataki Noodles. I then stumbled into the hot food section hungry. DANGER! I opted for a slice of pizza. I wanted it - I got it - with spinach and mushrooms. Then I headed home, eating my slice! (note: had a hard time figuring out the pizza - so I had to estimate on Spark People giving it 600 calories; 80 carbs and 18 fat grams).
Day of Slack
I was home, I was full, I was happy. I took a pic of my hair (above) and got in bed with Reuben and a Tivo full 'o crap shows! (my movies didn't come in :( ). I blogged and watched the last season of Gilmore Girls. I also watched the CUTEST show - Drop Dead Diva! Anyone watching? It's on lifetime! It's only 2 epis in and they're available online (at lifetime) if you're interested. It's going to be a staple of mine - fo sho.
So I got my HRM out - EEEEE!
I had ZERO desire to work out and test it so I played rock band and found that drumming on expert burns 10 calories/song. Not bad!! Also - I wore it between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. - 2 solid hours of sitting in bed - and found that I burned 90 calories/hour. I don't know if this is good or bad. Hmmm. Either way - love the little guy - best present ever, Austin!! Can't wait to wear it whilst walking and/or doing ST!
Noodle Testing
That evening it was time to test the noodles. I followed the instructions to a T making sure they were super dry (used TONS of papertowels), and then I followed Hungry Girl's 'alfredo' recipe which is basically 1 tsp fat-free sour cream, 10 grams laughing cown, 2 tsp parmesan and salt and pepper. I had a bite and it was disgusting. Like, i almost spit it up! I thought whoa... well - now I know it's a little different. I'll try another. No sir - not for this chica. I tossed them and put together a simple Chicken with Green Salsa Meximelt (based on the chimichanga from last week):
3 oz. chicken (cooked in olive oil spray; then pulled with two forks to shred it)
1 mission carb balance tortilla
1 tbsp fat-free sour cream mixed with a little oregano & cumin & minced garlic
10 grams fat-free mozarella, shredded
10 grams fat free cheddar, shredded
2 tbsp green onions, diced
1 1/2 tbsp green salsa, divided
Put everything above in the tortilla, saving 3/4 tbsp of green salsa. Wrap it up, and toss it on the George Foreman for a few minutes. Take it off and serve with the remaining green salsa on the side. Yum. Nutritional Information: 267 calories, 25 carbs, 3 fat grams and 30 protein grams. Not bad! Would be yum with a side of black beans!
After the noodle fail and meximelt success, I settled back in bed to watch a few How I Met Your Mothers, and then passed out at 11:30 (as Austin was getting ready to go out! haha). I ended my day 'o slack and somewhat day of crap eating at 1,800 calories, 220 carbs, 46 fat grams and 115 protein grams. Here's what I ate. I hope you all had fabulous Saturdays! That was my first night spending the night in our house alone - not too awful!! Today i'm going to go to the gym, do some chores around the house, read and run a few errands. I hope to make a new recipe at lunch today that i'm SUPER excited about!! I can't wait to test the HRM on my 4-mile walk - woo!
