Seriously, I had goosebumps ALL day long! No, not because I was cold, but because I was excited!!! When I drove past our polling station this morning at 6:40am, there was already a huge a$$ line of about 2-300 people and I just got the best feeling in the world. I was kind of worried about the lines so I went during work at about 10:30 and I was in and out in about 10 minutes! Not bad at all! Our voting place was in a fire station and to get to the polls, you actually had to walk through the fire house! I got to see all the trucks lined up, all the fire fighter gear lined up, the hats, the boots, and there were a bunch of fire fighters telling you where to go. It was honestly such an amazing experience I actually got tears in my eyes – it made me so proud to be an American!!!
Other than voting, today was pretty uneventful….
BREAKFAST – 240 CALORIES
Sorry for the repeat, but I am LOVING this breakfast combo! It’s full of so many different flavor, texture, and temperature combos thanks to the hot oats, cold yogurt, mushy banana, and crunchy toppings! Today was 1/3 c oats with water, 1/2 container of pineapple yoplait yogurt, 1/2 banana, and 1/4 cup of Fiber One/H2H cereal. Thank you, Chandra, for introducing me to this lovely breakfast combo!
SNACK – 50 CALORIES
Just the rest of my banana…sorry, no pic…you all know what 1/2 of a banana looks like 🙂
LUNCH – 493 CALORIES
Lunch was very much on impulse. When I got back from voting, I was in a great mood because I was so excited to watch the election stuff tonight and because it was so nice out (around 70 again!!!). I decided to forgo the lovely TV dinner I had in the freezer, and picked up Erbert’s and Gerbert’s instead…..I know they have a bunch of Erb’s and Gerb’s in Wisconsin, but do they have them nationwide??? I LOVE their sandwiches! Their bread is A.mazing! And, they give you the “guts” of the sandwich, which is the cut out inside of the bread. YUM! Plus, the sandwiches all have fun names!! Here’s my Boney Billy with his guts on top
along with a large deli pickle.
Divine!
To try and avoid an afternoon snack (since this guy was pretty high cal for lunch, and supper is already planned), I split him up into 2 “meals”. I had the first half of the sandwich around 11:15, and then went outside and at the other half around 2pm.
SUPPER – 400 CALORIES (estimation on chicken based on online info – chicken breast with skin removed, 150 calories)
For supper we had planned on getting one of the rotisserie chickens from our local grocery store, but when Chad got there they were all sold out 😦 We needed something that was effortless, since I wanted to be glued to the tv when I got home at 6:30, so we decided on just the deli chicken they sell instead. I LOVE this chicken but I know it’s not as healthy….but I do what I can and pull off the skin. This is HARD to do because it’s so yummy, but so bad! Alongside, we had some refrigerated mashed potatoes. Pop these puppies in the micro and they’re good to go! We also heated some some homemade frozen corn and a mock garlic bread. Now that’s an effortless meal! And delicious, and healthy!
Time to watch the election info come in!!! I’m going to try and brush my teeth early to avoid any unneccesary muching!!! Wish me luck 🙂
***Edited to add dessert*** yeah, I caved!! Some leftover frozen apple bread (w/ a little PB) was calling my name while Chad was having some brewskys while watching the Election coverage. Calories: 120 (??)
- TOTAL CALORIES EATEN TODAY: 1,303
- NO ACTIVITY BESIDES WALKING ON BREAKS 😦
- FORGOT TO WEIGH IN THIS MORNING
Ow! We do not have Erberts and Gerberts but I want one! I love big pickles! Its a crazy day for sure!
mmm that desert looks fantastic!
I definitely thought of my favorite kid’s horror book series and tv show (“Goosebumps”) when I read your post title, haha! 😀
HAPPY WEDNESDAY!!!!
Mmm great eats. I have never heard of Erberts and Gerberts. But I am in Canada, so maybe that is why too.
And I am glad to hear that you went out and voted – that is super cool that it was in the firehall! Hahah, firefighters ❤ LOL!
So were the firefighters hot? 😉 Just kidding, but I bet that made voting even better!
I have never had erberts and gerberts, although there is one somewhere close. I wasn’t sure what it exactly was before you told me!
