hello friends!

Today was a pretty good day, all in all. 

I started out with a breakfast PBJ. I used some seedless blackberry jam and some fresh ground honey roasted peanut butter on Health Nut bread which was super yum. The sandwich theme continued at lunch when I had a turkey, spinich, and mild cheddar jubilee. :)

This afternoon, the kids left early! This is time for teachers to grade exams, and finish final paperwork… we’ll have student half days wednesday and thursday too. Friday is a teacher workday and then its OVER!

To celebrate the afternoon, I had a cup of jasmine tea (the cups were small, so I split the water and 1 teabag between two.), 3 cheetos, and 1 (of the 2 pictured) dark chocolate squares. YUM!
Tea! :) 6/2/09Splurge 6/2/09

After work, I went to Kohl’s because I have been wearing clown-sized pants to work for weeks. I’ve been holding off because I thought my size might go down a bit more, but I finally gave in today, because they were having such a big sale. I got 3 shirts, 1 pair of pants, and 2 capris for about $51… when I checked out, the girl told me that I saved $150 if the merchandise had been sold at full price! WOA! THAT is a great sale!

Shopping lootGreat deals!

This trip to the store also resulted in my purchasing my first pair of size 8 pants since 10th grade. WOW! That was awesome, can I just say. It is so great to go into the dressing room with 3 sizes of the same pair of pants and walk out with the smallest one… it really was so cool. :D

When I got home, hubs was already heading out the door for tennis, which meant I was going to need to fend for myself for dinner. In a random act of pizza-mania, I smashed out two leftover wheat hotdog buns, added some pizza sauce, spinich, roasted red peppers, a few turkey pepperonis, and 1 slice of mozzerella cheese and VOILA! Under 400 calories of pizza goodness for this pizza fiend. :)

After pizza time, I went upstairs and did 45 sweaty minutes on the elliptical while watching twilight. Now that is a way to kill some time on the elliptical! it really did fly by. :D

Tomorrow I’m meeting a running buddy up at school, and we’re going to log a few miles before work for National Running Day! She is great, and I’m glad to be able to run with someone. :D

running day!

running day!

Have a great night, talk to you soon. :)

    OK Kelsey I am so happy for you. Seriously….you are such an inspiration. I had the opposite problem tonight…it was in my closet though not the dressing room. I tried on some jeans that fit me this time last year and I couldnt even button them! I didnt even work out last year AND I was drinking a ton of dr. pepper. UGH! HELP ME!!!! :( Im still working out like a fiend…but not getting the results I want :(
