I Need Coffee-Day 2

Last night my hubs and I decided to go for a run at the park.  That run quickly turned to a walk, but hey, who cares, at least I did something.   Anywho, We walked for close to an hour, doesn't seem like much right but It's safe to say that it did a number on me. Guess what? I overslept for work and showed up 30 minutes after my scheduled time.  My legs feel sore! Boy am I out of shape!  BUT I WILL NOT GIVE UP! In other news, today I got the much anticipated news that my entire family has been waiting for.  My brother and sis-in-law became parents for the second time this morning at 8:35am.  My nephew came in at 7lbs, 1oz- 19.5 inches.  I CANNOT wait to meet him.  My niece is 3 years old and last night she went to bed as an only child and today she awoke a big sister.  She's going to make an amazing sister!  Forgive me for my shameless bragging...I couldn't help myself.  So getting back to Jenny Craig....


Jenny Craig Menu-Day 2

BREAKFAST
Today I opted for one of Jenny's lighter breakfast options, the Mixed Berry Bar.   It resembles a rice crispy mixed with dry berries, it has been dipped and drizzled in yogurt icing.  It's a pretty tasty tiny square of deliciousness.  I added a few strawberries and blueberries to complete the meal. Oh, and 2 cups of black coffee of course!

SNACK/VITAMIN

Another Anytime Bar....it tastes better today for some reason.  Maybe it's an acquired taste.

Mini Rant: About an hour after I ate my Anytime Bar, I started to feel hunger pangs.   It's safe to say that although delicious, the Mixed Berry Bar is not going to cut it for breakfast.  Boo! I was kind of excited about the Mixed Berry Bar, especially since it's one of the cheaper items on the breakfast menu...only $1.99   

Note to self: Don't buy any more Mixed Berry Bars!

LUNCH

I really enjoyed my lunch today.  I ate the Cheesy Mashed Potatoes and Fried Chicken.   The portion is very tiny and a bit disappointing at first sight.  I am glad I packed a nice green salad and a side of carrot sticks for lunch.   I made sure to drink a cup of water before digging in.   I have to say, the meal was pretty tasty and almost tasted like a non-diet meal.  Good job Jenny Craig.  This one is definitely a winner:

Soon after I got home from work I decided to jump on my stationary bike.  Again, I am nowhere near fit, so any physical activity is a plus in my book.  I keep comparing myself to a candle...slowly melting away....very slowly.

SNACK
After my work out I was super hungry, so I decided to grab a bag of Jenny Craig's Bruschetta Veggie Chips. I knew that the veggie chips alone wouldn't hold me until dinner, so I whipped up a quick salsa.  In my hungry desperation I forgot to take a picture of the finished product...forgive me, I was literally starving.

Mexican Salsa Recipe
1 roma tomato
1/4 of an onion ( I LOVE ONION)
1 handful of cilantro
1/2 serrano pepper
juice of 1/2 a lime
Salt to taste

Chop all the ingredients in cubes and mix 'em together....and you have yourself an amazing chucky salsa that doubles as a salad.

After I ate my chips and salsa I felt FULL....so I decided to wait a bit before eating my dinner.  I was watching mind-less reality shows (don't judge me), while I waited for my food to go down.  Well, guess what?  I fell asleep!! No dinner for me last night.   

DINNER

Sorry Jenny Craig...dinner never happened... I fell asleep earlier than anticipated.
