Happy Monday?

Okay not so much, Mondays are my least favorite day. I feel bad because I am sure Monday is just a scapegoat to our not getting enough sleep the night before (Poor Monday). Which is usually my case. In fact last night I was up super late watching Veronica Mars. So I refused to get up early and go to the gym. I let myself off the hook because I did after all walk the 5k two days ago. Okay not a good excuse, but I am using it anyway.
 The 5k was so fun, I even worked up a bit of a sweat. I am on my way to running next time. Baby steps.

 So even though I am watching what I eat, I cannot live without my treats. So I have trying to find healthier options to my sweet cravings. Soyjoy bars, good healthy snack, about 140 calories, all natural.... however they don't taste that awesome. I found out the the strawberry is not good. Repeat, not good. So I was ready to give this snack the heave ho, but the blueberry and mango coconut ended up being pretty delicious. So I just wont be buying strawberry again.  The giant cookie is vegan. It was surprisingly not bad. However it was like $1.50. Nobody needs to eat a single cookie for a buck 50. So silly, but I wanted to try, so I did.  The last treat was Newman's own peanut butter cups. AMAZING!! Probably the best peanut butter treat I have ever had. It is made from all natural ingredients, and tasted so good. However it was about $1.65 for that treat, so that is the bummer part.  But I figure a treat should be just that a treat, so even though I wont be buying any Newman's peanut butter cups in bulk, once in a while probably wont break the bank.

 Also I wanted to share this delicious creation BFFE and I came up with when she was here. It was actually her brother's idea, we just stole it and put our own twist on it. Our version of flatbread pizza. We just got some panini bread coated it with butter and garlic put cheese and veggies and baked it in the oven for a while. Sure it wasn't the most healthy meal, but it could be if you wanted to. It was the weekend, we were splurging on our calories, so we didn't even try to make these super healthy. Next time I might cut out the garlic butter and try some pesto or something like that. Anyway super yum, cheap and fun!
