WooHoo

I PASSED! (2 of 3 anyway, I have to wait for the writing sections score, stinkin' essays!)

I also got done a 6-hour test done in 2.5 hours. Woohoo. And did I mention that I passed?

Ok, ok, ok. On with the day.

So I got up this morning at 5:30 5:45am and left the house by 6:30. Too. Early. This morning I ate one of those delicious baked oatmeal pies (and tracked it).

I also took snacks with me since I figured I'd be gone for awhile and was going to have some time to kill. (I might've taken tooo many....oh well).

I ended up having an asian pear and a light string cheese. Yum!

Bonus: Everything's tracked. So far, so good.


Today for lunch I made my own verison of Noodles & Company Pasta Fresca.

yummm!

Whole Wheat Pasta (al dente style, one serving per package)
Chopped Veggies: Onions, Grape Tomatoes, Spinach, Red Bell Peppers, Asparagus
11 Medium Shrimp (I used frozen, cheaper & what I had)
3 tbs Balsamic Vinegar
1 tbs Olive Oil
1 tbs Honey
Italian Seasoning (to taste)
Parmasean Cheese (to taste)

While the pasta was cooking, I put the chopped veggies in a skillet with a little bit of olive oil and let them sautee up (still crunchy, but onions were transperant). I made sure the shrimp were dethawed (if using frozen), and then added them into the veggie mixture. I mixed balsamic vinegar, olive oil and honey in a small bowl, added italian seasoning to taste, and poured onto the veggies & shrimp. Let simmer so the veggies and shrimp absorb the flavoring. Put the pasta in a bowl, veggies & shrimp on top, and then a sprinkle of cheese. Enjoy :)


I thought today was going to be a no-exercise-my-brain-hurts kinda day, but since I got done early, I text messaged hubby and let him know we'd be going on a bike ride around town.




We're cute <3

And we did. 32 mins in the wind. whew. 235 calories burned.

I'm glad that we got to go outside and enjoy the sunshine together!

I use MyFitnessPal to track my food, exercise and water consumption. It's got almost any food you need, you can create "meals" and it connects from my phone to computer automatically. I need to be better at tracking my weight and measurements. So far I like it, its super user-friendly and the best part of all, it's free!

What do you use (if anything) to track foods/calories/exercises/etc?

Now it's time to clean up, and relax before going to hang out with the cutest-almost-3-year-old ever.
