So there wasn't ONE movie you guys listed yesterday that I don't own/obsess over! Love it! My favorites definitely include Pretty Woman, Sweet Home Alabama, Mean Girls, SATC, Sleepless in Seattle, The Notebook, Love Actually, Two Weeks Notice, and Legally Blonde. Legally Blonde STILL motivates me to work hard - so funny!! And Steel Magnolias is DEFINITELY a girl movie - LOVE it. Still my favorite Julia Roberts film... Shelby... blush and bashful. Sigh. So New Moon seems to have mixed reviews - I really did enjoy, but again, can't wait to see books 3 and 4 that I liked so much more on the big screen!!
And.... backing up... I wrapped up yesterday at 1,742 calories, 236 carbs, 41 fat grams and 107 protein grams. Here’s what I ate. Not bad! Especially with my late night bagel and cream cheese. My mom left this AMAZING cream cheese here – Trader Joe’s reduced whipped or something? I dunno – but it’s the bomb dot com!
- Framed my college diplomas. Yes, my 2004 and 2006 diplomas are officially framed in 2009. I'm so on top of stuff. When I actually hang them, i'll post a picture! :)
- Made my first pie - Snickers Pie. I found it on My Sister's Kitchen and she found it on Recipe Girl. I made one for Austin's side of the family and one for mine - i'll let you know how it goes over but in the meantime, here's a pic! Picture this times 2! It smells good... I want to try it so much - what if it's bad - eek!
- Made my meal plan for the week and went to two grocery stores to acquire all items.
- Cleaned out the garage. Put to use the shelving units Austin's parents gave us, organized, made it cuter!
- Sorted through donation bags of clothes - they're ready to go now!
- Made TONS of food: 6 servings of Taco Soup, 4 servings of a new recipe Pizza Soup, 6 servings of Brunch Pizza Squares, 4 servings of Rotini Sausage Pasta and of course, the two pies!
- Watched 6+ episodes of Friends.
- Walked 3 miles and ran 1 mile in 54 minutes burning 236 calories.
- Watched a movie called 9 - this animated, post-apocalyptic film. Very odd. I found it distracting how many movies it reminded me of.... I give it a 2 out of 5.
- Had cereal for breakfast, easy thai curry for lunch, rotini sausage pasta for dinner, and only a few snacks: a kashi cookie, a muffin w/that amazing cream cheese and a glass and half of white wine.
- Ordered my book club books and a few Christmas presents!
- Missed my rug arriving. Yes, so much for "2 to 3 weeks." Fedex is making "attempt #2" tomorrow - I hope I'm here - i'm dying to get it! And my mother in law is bringing over a rug pad - she rocks (who has those lying around?)
- Reorganized my pantry and island (made one of the cabinets in the island a liquor cabinet).
- I ended up at 1,508 calories, 222 carbs, 26 fat grams and 75 protein grams. Here's what I ate.

The result of my cooking charade- yes, i'm the diet Pepsi drinker and Austin's the diet mountain drinker! The rest is meal tubs all the way back - woo!

2 Arnold Select light wheat buns
8 oz. chicken breasts
½ cup mushrooms (60 grams)
¼ cup onions (60 grams)
¼ cup green peppers (60 grams)
1 tsp olive oil
1/4 tsp salt, divided
1/8 tsp pepper
1 tsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp minced garlic
2 slices Kroger fat-free swiss
Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to pan; sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Sauté 5 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove chicken from pan. Add veggies, vinegar, 1/8 tsp salt and garlic to pan; sauté 6 minutes or until tender. Stir in chicken and pepper sauce; remove from heat. Toast bread. Divide mixture into two and spoon onto bread. Place cheese on top. Melt in microwave for 20 - 30 seconds and serve. I thought it was really good - it definitely had that "philly chicken taste." However, I wasn't in the mood for chicken phillies so it was hard to get into it. Naturally, I wanted Italian instead! haha
