Fun or BUST

Well yesterday didn’t go as well as I’d like. Our bike rack adapter didn’t come in and I was trying to call the company seeing what’s up. I ordered it on the 16th, I ordered it 3-5 day shipping, MEANING it’ll come by last Friday. Did it come? NO. Then I think it’s coming Monday- NOPE, and I was like it HAS to come Tuesday…. Nope :( My picnic basket stood alone waiting for nothing :( I got it at the swap meet one of the times hubby and I went (we love the swap meet) and I wasn’t able to use it :( Tried calling the company, emailing the company- nothing! *sigh*

But that’s okay, hubby and I still made the best of our day. “Slept in” until 8 am (I know pathetic sleeping in lol) then got up and had breakfast at 9. I had 2 La Tortilla tortillas, one with one soft boiled egg, half oz cheese, and half an ounce of ham. In the other tortilla I just had some hummus in it- YUM :) I’m almost all out of hummus lol.

Then we went to see District 9. We go and hubby asks if I want anything- I say no of course and he says he’s not hungry then gets a large soda and medium popcorn. I’m like what would you get if you WERE hungry!? And that alone was $10! RIP OFF! Our tickets were $12…

The movie was good- I liked it- not epic to me- but I thought it was done very well and I felt sorry for the aliens. I think hubby didn’t like it lol- afterwards he said we should have watched Inglorious Basterds. I couldn’t help but laugh at him.

When we got out he was like you want to get lunch here- I said no let’s go home I’ll make lunch. So we get home and he says “I’m not hungry” and then proceeds to eat a whole tub of potato salad and a bag of chips… I look at him like um okay…

I made myself a tamale from the freezer and a quick salad:

Finally the picture is clear! THANK YOU SUNNYGEE! I changed the zoom to “macro” and it looks beautiful! I did this close up shot on purpose- but that’s my tamale with romaine lettuce, some salad toppings, wishbone just 2 good dressing, and a bit of cheese (I love cheese).

We got home and still no delivery so I was like dammit screw the beach- let’s just ride around in the area again- and we did :D For an hour- and this time we were better prepared- I got a pump with a meter to measure air pressure so now the tires are properly inflated :) It was so much EASIER to ride my bike! Who knew properly inflated tires were the answer ;)

Hubby made dinner and we had three cheese hamburger helper, I had 2 servings and that was it. I put in my calories and was like CRAP lol. That’s high fat and I was at 57 grams of fat so I didn’t want to eat anymore- though I wasn’t hungry afterwards anyways :) Oh wait I did have time for dessert which was my non-fat fudge bar! I know it’s a weakness of mine…

I showered later and then curled up in bed and just relaxed reading New Moon. I’ve read it before but since my sister is coming home in two days (yay) and she’s bringing a few books home with her I’ll have The Time Traveler’s Wife and The Lovely Bones to read :D I can’t wait till my sister gets back- I’ve already bought a TON of healthy food for when she gets back :D Lentils and stuff for miso soup and vegetarian items, and so on. She’s going to do the “fat smash” again and I’ll be doing it with her- I know last time on that diet I lost 8 lbs in 10 days (and kept it off) so I’m all for it!

Today the news said do not workout outside- it’s too hot- which when I went outside I agreed- 7 am it was already 76 degrees outside! So today going to wait till nightfall and just do an hour on the treadmill. Good news is today my legs don’t hurt as much after my bike ride so I think I can easily handle a run :)

Anyways that’s enough of my boring life- I’m off to read your blogs then get some work done! ;)

    YAY for the macro setting! :D

    BOO for the bad basket company. :(

    Be careful of Hamburger helper; it’s got msg in it. and a ton of sodium. :(

    And I WARNED you that Inglourious Basterds would be better. Mr. Beerab was right about that. LOL!

    Yeah, supposed to be a scorcher up here, too. That’s why I dance inside, where it’s air conditioned. ;)

    Have a marvelous day! :: hugs :: :D

    Hopefully your bike adapter will come TODAY. Don’t you love how you pay extra shipping to get something faster and then it doesn’t come in time. Ack!

    I’ve been wanting to try hummus. I saw some in the grocery store yesterday that was spicy (I love spicy) that looked yummy. I’ll have to break down and try it. Is it fattening?

    All this talk about hummus makes me want to go and buy some! It’s so yummy. :D Hope your adapter comes today..and good to know about District 9. DH totally wants to see Inglorious Basterds so hopefully we’ll catch it this weekend. Sounds like you had a wonderful day with your hubby, though!!

    If they put a lot of oil it can be- but the stuff I buy is like 70 calorie a serving and only 4 grams of fat in that serving :) It’s made with olive oil (it should be) so the fat is a good fat :)

    I love hummus I know my snack today is going to be a La Tortilla with hummus again :)

    Oh and btw I recommend letting hummus warm up to room temperature before eating it- it tastes better to me that way :) Make sure to get a good brand also- cheap brands are gross. They taste dry.

    Hmmmm… I love hummus. A little too much. I can down a whole tub with some pita chips in nothing flat. I have to stay away from it unfortunately as I have no ability to eat it in moderation whatsoever!

    Glad you found the macro setting on your camera (the little flower!) I just discovered mine recently too. Made a world of difference!

    Hope the bike rack comes soon. That’s too bad it is so late.

    Anything premade/processed like that shouldn’t even be in your kitchen.. right?:P

  7. beerab on August 26th, 2009

    Haha I wish- we eat it maybe once a month and hubby’s always the one putting it in the damn cart lol. I suggested not eating it anymore he looked at me like I was mental…

    Your food log makes me miss home!!! We have the tortillas here, but they are old and taste funny! And, no hummus. I will be able to make my own when my stuff gets here in November, but I don’t have anything to make it with now! I’m so jealous!!!

    You are a beast. You are always so consistent. It makes me want to do better, so thanks =]
