I decided to try out Mandy’s faithful breakfast today since I have a fresh batch of muffins, some leftover pumpkin, and some yummy yogurt in my fridge.

I mixed 1/3 cup of pumpkin (slightly warmed in the microwave to take the chill off) with 2/3 cup of Liberte Svelt vanilla yogurt (best yogurt ever). Then I crumbled up one of my fresh pumpkin pecan bran muffins and stirred it in. Pretty tasty. Could use maybe a little brown sugar but I decided not to use it. I’m skeptical about this keeping me full for a few hours, but only time will tell.

You’ll all be happy to hear that I made it through yesterday completely OP. I came up short just 1 glass of water shy of my 3 litres, but if that’s the worst of it then I call it a success. Funny how being sick makes you less hungry…I guess that’s the bright side of a cold. I also kept really busy and ate my dinner a bit late so I didn’t really have the opportunity to think about evening snacking. I did taste-test one muffin, but I’d planned for it so alllll goooood.

This morning I woke up late (typical!) so no cardio for me yet. I’m going to work diligently after I finish this post and get my coffee so I can hopefully go for a good long walk this afternoon. My girlfriend is off work and asked if I’d like to go walk along the local trail with her and her dog. Hopefully work allows it. (boooo, I miss my dog….) If I don’t do that, then I’ll hit the gym for an hour of cardio this evening. Or maybe I’ll do both.

Oh, and one last thing, I have some cutie-patootie little frog stickers for my calendar and I’m looking forward to giving myself one every day between now and Vegas (Oct 22) for staying on my daily plan.

Thanks for all of the grrrrreat support yesterday girls. I just thrive on it, and I know those comments will help me drop this weight before I head off on my business trip. Love you!
