Something Isn't Right

by Meghann on October 14, 2009

It has been a very eventful afternoon around here.

Poor Maddie isn’t feeling very well. I think a vet visit is in order for tomorrow morning.

Every 20 or 30 minutes she needs to relieve herself. Sometimes she manages to make it outside and other times I’ve been utilizing my Nature’s Miracle carpet cleaner. It’s my fault when she does have an accident inside. She has been giving me every signal necessary to let me know she needs to go, I just need to remember she doesn’t understand what wait 5 minutes means yet.

Poor girl!

A couple of Maddie’s accidents occurred while I was cooking dinner. She would do her potty dance and as I was prepping to go outside, she just couldn’t hold it any longer.

Despite the drama dinner came out really great. Luckily this stir fry was relatively easy to put together.

In a wok I heated up broccoli, carrot, onion, garlic, tomato, red pepper flakes, ginger and some pineapple juice. When the vegetables were tender I added half a dozen shrimp, pre-cooked whole wheat spaghetti noodles and coated it all with a bottled peanut sauce.

I garnished my peanut noodles with a handful of peanuts. The peanuts added a nice crunch to the otherwise chewy dish. Overall it was delicious, healthy, and filling.

Dessert was another pure genius idea of mine. ;)

Warm Pineapple Ring Topped with Tart Honey Frozen Yogurt and Granola

I am never ashamed of my own brilliance when it comes to dessert. This was great!

This afternoon I had a Chocolate Hazelnut Jocolat Bar.

I’m going to watch Maddie through the night and see how she does. If she keeps needing to relieve herself this often I plan to bring her to the vet first thing in the morning. *fingers crossed everything is ok*

P.S.

Rumor has it the temps are suppose to start dropping tomorrow in Central Florida. Yippee!!!

A New Fave

by Meghann on October 14, 2009

I have a new Glo-Bar favorite and its name is Chocolate Peppy-mint.

Swoon.

I am a sucker for anything chocolate and this bar was deliciously chocolate rich. I felt like I was eating a chewy candy bar. Though, I have to say I was a little confused where the ‘peppy-mint’ flavor was? Still a great bar and another one to add to my re-order list.

Thanks again to Glo Bakery for all the samples I’ve been enjoying this week.

Lunch was very simple. I took all the components from last night’s dinner and threw it in a bowl.

Left over salad. Genius, no?

With a side of Whole Wheat Toast for good measure.

Have you checked out my interview on the CruiseAndBlog.com podcast yet?

I’ve been toying with the idea of starting my own series of podcasts and am looking for a little feedback. Would you guys be interested in a weekly segment that you could subscribe to on itunes? If so what topics would you want to have discussed?

Hot Apples in a Jar

October 14, 2009

Good Morning! And Happy Hump Day! My Wednesday morning has been great so far thanks to a short and sweet run. I completed an easy 3 miles and 3×100 strides.
