I am such a little things person…Are you?

by DanicasDaily on July 15, 2010

Happy Friday Eve all!  This week’s Wordless Wednesday were pictures taken during The Husband’s and I very first vacation together as boyfriend/girlfriend.  We went to the Caribbean Islands of St. Thomas and St. John.  FUN TIMES, now we are just old, but, still travel the world together ;)

Yesterday I had my WEIGH IN and I lost almost 1 lb ~ 0.8 lbs ~ $8 more dollars bringing my total Summer Cruise Clothes bank balance to $18!

I also got my super cool 5K Charm from doing the Walk It! Challenge. It’s cute, huh?  Weight Watchers gives you several little charms that you collect on a Key Chain you get when you lose 10% of your body weight.  I am such a little things person ~ seriously little charms & $$ totally do it for me LOL!

Today was a breakfast repeat ~ Double Fiber Orowheat with whipped buttah & raspberry jam (5 points).

Red Raspberry Jam & Oro Wheat!

1 1/3 cup Watermelon (1 pt)…I would’ve eaten more but I totally wanted to save more for tomorrow :D

Watermelon

My co-worker and I decided there was a NEED for crispy, crunchy sandwiches for lunch.

I got the usual ~ turkey Plus AVOCADO & all the veggies along with Baked Lays (8 pts)

Subway turkey Avocado

But, really she twisted my arm by mentioning the Over The Top Shop Flavors!

Dulche De Leche & Vanilla Frozen Yogurt

In the MIX:

Vanilla & Dulche de Leche FROYO!

The BEST caramel sauce ever

RAINBOW sprinkles

and maybe a few pieces of Heath Bar might have appeared (5 pts)

After work I rushed to the Farmer’s Market to pick up the goodies for our Farmer’s Market Friday tomorrow at work….Pictures coming up tomorrow as part of Photo Friday!

Then, it was off to a meeting we had a few towns over.  I think the ONLY reason that makes driving almost 2 hours in traffic worth it is Jack’s Urban Eats!

The best salad ever!

I actually refrained a little today & got a half salad!

* Mixed Greens

* Kidney Beans/Garbanzo Beans

* Red Peppers

* Pickled Onions – I LOVE these!

* Pepperoncini’s

* Dried Cranberries

* Candied Walnuts

* Balsamic Dressing

and possibly the BEST Buffalo Chicken Strips ever!!!

Spicy Boneless Buffalo Chicken Strips

8 point estimate and worth EVERY BITE!

So, you know the question was coming….ARE YOU A LITTLE THNGS PERSON TOO?? What makes you happy and motivated?

Happy “Almost” Friday all!!!!

Oh my gosh Danica! I just wrote an entire post on this topic. Stopping to appreciate the little things in life is key in overall happiness! I try to do this often, but I struggle with being a “big picture” person. It’s so important to find beauty in simplicity!

I’m def a little things person!! I think when peeps forget to enjoy the little things, the big things don’t seem so ‘big’… Not sure if that makes sense, but I think its good to be able to enjoy all the little joys life brings…

**corny gushing about ‘little things’ begin**
A few weeks ago, my husband went to a work dinner thing at a brewery down in Carlsbad, Ca. Apparently its a local ‘famous’ place and was full of t-shirts and hats etc… all the other guys were picking things out for themselves, but not my husband. He picked out an all natural paquillo (spelling?) pepper bbq sauce to bring home for me to try. I dunno why, I just thought it was so sweet of him to think of me when all the other guys were getting cool shirts for themselves ;)

that was your guys’ FIRST vacation together?!?! aright… clearly the boy and i need to step our game up.

congratulations on the loss – you have to keep in mind that this is the result of YOUR continued hard work!! keep it up!

p.s. i’m super jealous of this amazing fro-yo place you have… minneapolis is pretty on top of it all, EXCEPT when it comes to fro-yo. nothing!!! we have one red mango way out in the burbs, and it’s not even good. (insert little pouty face here) hmph.

Your Subway has avacodo? I wish mine did. Sometimes it is not fair how some have a better selection of toppings than others.
