Olympics, Ramen Noodles, Snowy Pics Part Deux, The Usual

Thanks, Friends! I love that pic of me and Austin, too. :) I think it takes a great friend to catch a fun candid like that – thanks, Mon!! Speaking of pics, here are a few more snow pics I never posted! The snow weekend was too shortlived – sad – but I’m so glad we got to enjoy it. I vow to do more ‘no-going-out’ weekends with Austin – they’re fabulous!


So Sunday I pretty much stuck to the plan: meal planning, Trader Joe’s, Kroger, two Twilight viewings, blog readings and mucho Olympics. I’m just LOVING watching these athletes- how inspiring. My favorites right now were the half pipe coverage and the women’s down-hill skiing – wowza! I also love watching speedskating – it’s just amazing these skills they have! I didn’t do any workouts on Sunday, and ended up at 1,754 calories, 243 carbs, 54 fat grams and 73 protein grams. One odd thing did go down that day – I was CRAVING ramen. Like, ramen has always been a favorite – it’s cheap and fab. I only use ¼ to a ½ of the packet. Hehe I rarely have it (for obvious reasons) but must admit – it’s still a little treat!

Any other ramen lovers out there?

Any foods you eat rarely because you just know they’re junky?!

Monday was rough. It was raining. I had a pounding headache. Traffic was bad. You know, Monday. I went into the day knowing that my lunch workout was out as I had a meeting during lunch. Boo. I did get lots of work done, got to visit with my boss and her baby (she’s coming back to work next week!), got to visit with Stacy about how the wedding planning is going along and all was good. I had an offsite meeting at 2 which ended around 4 so I headed home and worked from home until the work day ended. Yes, I could have left for the gym but I decided to put on my PJs, chill with Reuben and cook! I made:

4 servings of easy Thai curry

4 servings of hummus chicken salad wrap

4 servings of tacos

Yummy! During all of this I had a wrap and then some cereal – nice! Then me and Austin and Reuben settled in for more Olympics (women’s halfpipe and icedancing… which I’m just not a fan of.) I ended the night at 1,820 calories, 216 carbs, 57 fat grams and 92 protein grams. Here’s what I ate. Yes, this is what happens when I don’t track ahead of time and “skip” dinner to eat “mini meals.” Haha

Are you watching the Olympics? If so, what’s your favorite ‘winter games’ sport and/or athlete?! I’m again slightly obsessed with snowboarding and think Shaun White is ridiculous. I want my own private half pipe trail – crazy! And I want those snowboarding pants the men and women’s teams wore this year – they look like JEANS – so cool!

Love this video of Shaun and Colbert - he just seems SO down to earth! And his chat about red bull and his red hair made me laugh, too! :)
