Well folks the craziness has begun and we. are. tuckered.

Last night after work we went to Home Depot, picked up all supplies and headed out to the lake!

By the time we unloaded it was time for bed!

This morning we woke up bright and early, ate breakfast (toast)

And then spent the morning filling a 10 foot UHAUL truck with fridges, a stove, a couch and dozens of bags of sub flooring!

Midway through we stopped for a snack.  Carrot sticks, celery sticks, cheese and triscuits!

With some tzatziki!

After snack time we took another load out to the dump and now we are free of all that trash!  It’s so nice to be rid of the previous owners’ belongings

At noon we drive back to my folks place and ate a picnic!

I had pb & j, more sticks, cheese and an apple:

And a slice of my amazing whole grain banana bread:

And both Jeff and I konked out after we ate!  The sun was on my face, I was absolutely exhausted and I was drooling

No…He’s not praying

And our afternoon was spent putting in 3/4 inch sub floor!  It it so much stronger than the previous sub floor!  Can you see the lake?

Once we were spent for the day Jeff and I went to mom and dad’s and ate a smorg of supper!  I had a turkey burger, french fries, veggies and some tilapia!

With some Fresca:

And for dessert, a nibble of a snickers bar!

So that was that.

Tomorrow morning we are helping mom and dad take stuff to the dump, then we are going back to our cottage to do more sub flooring and THEN I’m going to Beauty & The Beast with Miss Janet!

See ya!

It’s 9:15pm and I’ve got a looooooong night ahead of me.

You see, Jeff and I took Friday off for a “renocation” day and as a result, tonight is the night I am prepping for the weekend.

So far I’ve baked a whole grain banana bread made with all natural ingredients (SO good!  Recipe will be shared at a later date), whole wheat bread for french toast and sammiches on the weekend (it smells like a bakery in here!), turkey burger patties are formed and freezing for Friday’s supper, carrots and celery have  been “sticked” and I’ve got laundry going!

Did I mention NOTHING but hockey has been on the TV all night?

Did I mention I’m going mental because of it?

It’s funny, I’ve tried to turn it off but it’s as if my husband has a beacon device installed on the tv or something.  He could be OUTSIDE raking leaves (in fact he was earlier) and I shut off the tv and let me tell you, he was in the house SO FAST turning it back on

I tell you, if I have to listen to a bad version of “We Will Rock You” on the organ one more time I’m going to lose it

Moving on!

I began my day with an all arms strength training workout!  Well, it was cardio too but the attention was on my arms for sure!

I was in the mood for a smoothie sans spinach today so I mixed almond milk, frozen berries, banana, green yogurt and cinnamon together:

Mom, as much as I hate to admit it, sometimes NOT adding the spinach is a real nice treat!

Along with my smoothie I had a slice of flax toast smothered with white chocolate wonderful peanut butter.  Oh how I long for Bees Knees or Barney Butter.

Murphey’s Law: If Katie takes a day off from work, the week WILL be insanely busy.  True story.

I needed to get out at lunch to clear my head and power walk.  It was a chilly one but I’m glad I did it!

Once back from my walk I ate leftover frittata (YES Miss Janet it really was FLUFFY ) along with broccoli and suicidal grapes!

After work Jefferson and I rushed home, ate supper and then the run-run-running began!

I tossed around what I wanted for supper and I kept coming back to a good old fashioned BBQ’d turkey burger!  So I piled on some tzatziki, lettuce and hickory sauce and called it suppah!  Jeff and I also shared the pickles…Scratch that, I ate the cauliflower and he ate the pickles!

Gross story about cauliflower!

Back in my “fat katie making an effort to lose weight” days I bought a SCHWACK load of veggies including a head of cauliflower. Well, my effort to lose weight lasted all of 30 seconds and as a result the cauliflower never gotten eaten.  About a month later I opened it up and there were WORMS in it.

Truth be told I’ve never been able to look at cauliflower the same.

I apologize for my lack of posting yesterday folks!

I think I got too much sun/heat during my lunch hour power walk because when I got home I had  a light supper and then I CRASHED.  6:30pm I was asleep on the couch for night!

Yesterday I began my day with Leslie Sansone’s 4 Fast Miles (all cardio baby!) and then I made myself a bowl of vanilla greek yogurt, banana and cinnamon!  A little polka dot bowl of sunshine

After my power walk yesterday I immediately made myself a plate of goodness!  Romaine lettuce was topped with roasted veg from Sunday, cottage cheese and grapes!

And as mentioned I was wiped after work yesterday so I quickly made a no-nonsense nibble fest then crashed on the couch! Beans, grapes and pickles!

TODAY I began my day with a hardcore strength training workout with Leslie Sansone!  Burn baby!

For breakfast I made myself a bowl of organic wheat squares and banana!  I’m missing my berries this week…My meals look so “blah!”

I went for another power walk in the hot sunshine during lunch hour!  I need some new music on my ipod I will tell you that much!

For lunch I came back and made myself a greek chicken salad sammich along with some fruit and veg!  All I did was dice up some BBQ chicken from Sunday and mixed in 2 tablespoons of tzatziki!  SO GOOD!

I knew I would not be home to have my usual early bird special supper so late in the afternoon I gobbled down 2 plums!

After work I said goodbye to something that’s been weighing me down for a while now.  Goodbye cousin IT!

And hello to a fluffy tzatziki frittata and broccoli!

So that was Monday and Tuesday!

It’s a short week for us this week…Renos renos renos!

See you tomorrow
