Lisa’s Rant….life and healthy eating

Thanksgiving was a ton of fun except for the fact that I was totally sick from a really bad cold the entire time. This may have helped me in the over eating area though since my appetite was down. The bf and I drove down to his parent’s house on Thanksgiving morning and went to the Thanksgiving celebration. His mom rented out an old train station it was so cute. They had tons of food the usual turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, amazing sweet potato casserole, corn bread, mac and cheese and tons of pies. The party was train themed and they had an amazing train cake that was delish. I believe the cake was pistachio flavored! mmm. Then we went out with the bfs friends that night and took it easy on Friday. Went to the VA Tech vs UVA game on Sat where VA Tech won! Such a good game. But it was freezing! It started sleeting after the game too.  Such a fun weekend!

I weighed myself this morning and I’m only up 1lb not bad! But I’m still down 5lbs total. So I’m going to be good the next few weeks to try to get to 5 more lbs off! No gym for me today though I’m still feeling pretty icky!

For breakfast I had a cup of coffee

which included one of these guys

and an NS Apple Scone

For a mid morning snack I had a strawberry Chobani

and a banana

I unfortunately consumed my lunch sitting in front of the comp at my desk. Not that exciting huh? I had a hard time remembering what I had on my plate at work after having a few days off so I was trying to get caught up.

I had an NS Chicken Noodle Soup

with the usual side salad with a Morning Star Garden Veggie Burger and Annie’s Light Rasberry Vinagarette

I also munched on a lot of handfuls of popcorn! I was in my boss’ office and we were walking and talking on our way to go meet someone and we stopped by our main front office where they had some fresh popcorn. We have a popcron cart in our office and they used to make it 3 times a week but the last few months they’ve cut back drastically and rarely ever make it anymore.

Around 3ish I had a honey crisp apple on its last leg. It wasn’t fantastic.

I’ve also been consuming a lot of Sugar Free Halls cough drops so I don’t annoy everyone around me at work with my coughing! Boo colds!

My plan is to go grocery shopping and then plop on the couch for some gossip girl tonight as well as proof read my paper for my Nutrition class thats due on Thursday!
