I love Saturdays. It's a wonderful day b/c you know you have Sunday to relax too. I had zero plans today, but knew I wanted to hit up Target. We also talked about hitting Lincoln Fest as well.
For breakfast I had half a wheat bagel with light cream cheese. It was really tasty and I am so proud I only ate half. I will have the other half one day this week for breakfast.
Before hitting Target, I made a southwest veggie hot pocket from Aldi. The Fit and Active brand at Aldi is AMAZING! Not only is this brand of healthy products cheap, it's really good and good for you. This pocket has sweet corn. pepper jack cheese, brown rice, black beans all wrapped in soft bread. Only 270 calories and 6g of fat. I wanted something else with this pocket but didn't have time to make anything.
After shopping for a bit, I was getting hungry. Unfortunately the southwest veggie pocket did not keep my full for too long (as expected.) My mid-afternoon snack was a small bowl of Smart Start cereal with a few blueberries. Goodness, Paige was not lying! This was so good. I may have this for breakfast tomorrow too. I usually don't buy cereal b/c I love it so much and can't stop eating it. A small bowl won't hurt though.
I had plans to meet a girlfriend of mine for dinner. She is 5 months pregnant and just adorable! Her and her husband are expecting a little boy mid-November. I can't wait to meet Baby Hull! I also have a special place in my heart for little boys b/c of my nephew Binks (Sam.) He was such a sweet baby and has grown to be such a funny little dude. I hate that I live 6 hours from him, but enjoy spending time with him when I go home to visit. Love you Binks!
We went to Dunlay's for dinner. This place is very convenient to my apartment so I end up eating here at least once a week. I was feeling a salad for dinner and a beer. I ordered a miller lite and stared at the salad options. My friend insisted we get spin-art dip. I had an angel on my shoulder saying "will power!" and then the devil on the other shoulder saying, "it's your off day, enjoy some spin-art dip." Ha. I decided to dig in and have some. What a tasty app! Wow.
I ordered the Wrightwood Salad for dinner with the dressing on the side. I loved it!
This salad has mixed greens, chicken, tomatoes, craisins, avocado, corn, almonds and fresh goat cheese. The dressing was a citrus vinaigrette. I will for sure be having this salad again soon.
After 2 miller lites, spin art dip and a salad, I was extremely full. I was happy to have this small break from my diet, but couldn't wait to start back up tomorrow.
I walked to the fest and had a few more beers there before heading home. It turned out to be a nice night out so I was happy to walk vs taking a cab.
Sunday is a new day and I am very ready to get back on track! I am not going to beat myself up for taking a day off. Every once in awhile you need this.
Talk to you soon!
