Office Mini Golf

by Meghann on June 25, 2009

It was very exciting in my office this afternoon.

One of our accountants came up with a Quarterly Corporate Mini Golf Tournament where different branches of my office compete in a round of mini golf. The one hole course as you starting at one end of the office and measure how many strokes it takes you to get to hole on the complete opposite end.

I was asked to provide a tournament bracket poster as well as a trophy to be presented to the winning team.

This was the first week of the tournament and it was pretty fun to spend thirty minutes being silly with my co-workers.

Every one had a great time and a good laugh.

I was nowhere near hungry when I returned home thanks to my super fiberous lunch, so it was nice to have free time to take Abbie for a walk, pack for the weekend and read some more of my book.

Around 7:00 my stomach started playing at the idea of being hungry so I put together a simple, delicious meal.

All I did was steam ½ a sweet potato, okra, broccoli & onions. I topped that with some whole wheat cous cous, tempeh, and Trader Joe’s Red Coconut Curry Sauce.

This meal literally took me 10 minutes to prepare and was very good to boot. Luckily I ate just enough so my stomach would not be too upset with me for the second time today.

For something sweet I had a small mix of Dark Chocolate Covered Edamame, Mini TJ PB Cups, & Honey Graham Bears.

HOLY SUMMIT SELL OUT!!!

AHHH>>> SO sorry about all the craziness with registration for the summit. The system was overloaded in the beginning which caused it to freak out. I promise to post more info in the morning. Right now I need to get to bed.

Good Night!

Too Full

by Meghann on June 25, 2009

Ughhh…. I am sooo FULL.

I’m so full it’s to the point where I am just uncomfortable sitting here in my jeans. I’m not sure if it’s the amount of food I ate, what I ate, or how long ago I ate, but man I am stuffed!

Let’s re-examine my lunch to see where the bloated belly may have resulted from.

First up was the beautiful chicken tender wrap I mad myself.

Inside the multi-grain Flat Out wrap I had:

2 left over Chicken Tenders
Spinach
Banana Peppers
Okra
Onion
Buffalo Sauce

The wrap was too good, I don’t think this is why I’m so full. I did manage to eat it very slowly thought and savor every bite. There is just something about real chicken in a wrap that is comforting to me. This actually reminded me of the chicken tender sub I used to get all the time when I was hung over. Boy do I miss college.

Next up was the GIANT apple I sliced and dipped in Naturally Nutty Toffee Butter Peanut Butter.

Again soo good while I was eating it, but I think this may be the culprit. This was a good size apple and I ate every last bite dipped in that wonderful toffee nutty goodness. I have no regrets on enjoying every bite, I just wish my stomach wasn’t bursting at the seams right now.

I’m sure the pickle I threw on the plate didn’t help either.

Damn you tasty and delicious lunch! Why did you have to be do good and volumous! I think this just goes to show you portion control is key and it is possible to overdue it on a lunch that is good for you. Next time I need to listen to my stomach tell me it doesn’t need those last 2 apple slices, instead of my taste buds begging for more.

The worst part was I was craving chocolate when I finished. Luckily my stomach was already feeling crowded and I was able to just say no.

I dug into my snack on the earlier side again this morning.

I had a tasty bag of almonds around 9:30 which led to me be starving at lunch time… Hmmm…. I think I found another culprit to my fullness.

On the bright side I am in love with hair today.

Au natural is the way to go.
