Three Steps to a Great Night

12

Hi guys! Wow, I’m in a good mood tonight! Here’s why:

1. After work I headed straight to the gym and knocked out 6 miles on the treadmill! Each treadmill has a flat screen television mounted to the front, so I got to watch Oprah while I chugged along :) By the end of the session I was getting pretty bored, but I’m so glad I kept running – exercise seriously makes my endorphins soar!

2. The weather is incredible right now. There is the nicest breeze coming in the house and I am completely comfortable for the first time in a couple weeks. It’s supposed to get down to 56 degrees tonight which = the perfect sweatshirt and snuggle weather :)

3. When I got home I made the.best.dinner.ever. Egg, Bacon & Cheese Muffins! Decadent…decadent!! First I toasted an english muffin. While that was toasting I scrambled 1 whole egg + 2 egg whites and nuked some lean, center-cut bacon in the microwave. When everything was ready, I topped each english muffin half with a slice of american cheese, half of the eggs and a strip of the bacon.

Seriously…seriously – I almost teared up eating this! Maybe it was because I was so hungry from my run, or maybe it’s just because you just really can’t go wrong with bacon, eggs and cheese – but this was soooo delicious!

It literally took me 5 minutes to make, too!

This center-cut bacon has some great stats for bringing SO much flavor to the party. For 2 slices we’ve got: 70 calories, 5g fat, 5g protein!

I also had an enormous, sweet white peach.

There you have it folks – the three reasons why I am a happy, happy camper tonight :) The happy camper levels should increase even more significantly when I have some brownie bites for dessert later :)

    You are too cute! I’m always so happy to read your uplifting posts. You always make me smile.

    Egg Muffins are the best!!! What kind of muffins do you use?

    I have found that the Thomas’s Diber Fiber Honey Wheat is TO DIE FOR! Especially when it comes to making these babies.

    Mango sorbet!! Yum! Made me very happy!

    Great job on the 6 miler, on the treadmill too! I think I still would get bored even with a flat screen in front of my face!! Your weather sounds awesome! Perfect running weather in my opinion!

    Mmm, your dinner looks delish! I love having breakfast for dinner. I’m happy that I have an adorable puppy sitting next to me, while I play on the computer. :)

    I don’t belong to a gym, so I always get really excited about hotel gyms with the individual flat screens on the treadmill–nothing better than a little Oprah while getting in a good workout!

    A baseball game, $1 beers, and my team made a historic comeback! It was a fantastic evening!
