So glad you guys are liking this morning’s Chicken Parm Burger recipe! I’m tellin’ ya… they.are.awesome.
So how’s Tuesday treating you so far? Good? Great? Fantastic?
My day started out with a slightly later wake-up call (about 6:45, oh it was glorious) and a casual breakfast. As much as I don’t enjoy working until 8pm on Tuesdays, I sure to enjoy being able to move a little slower in the morning.
Breakfast today was two toasted Kashi waffles, topped with some honey cinnamon pb2, banana slices, and a drizzle of sugar-free syrup.
I added a little extra honey to my pb today, making it slightly more sweet and super delicious.
All during breakfast, this one below was having a field day; running around the kitchen, pouncing up and down, acting like a wild man. Seriously, you would have thought there was just an overly rambunctious cat a herd of elephants up in here.
And it’s all because of this little thing right here…
As a side note, please take notice of that mess he makes with his food. Yep, that is every.single.day. Just another one of his crazy quirks I suppose. <—FYI: one of my favorite cat posts ever linked right there.
Good thing you’re cute, furry one. Good thing.

Lunch
Ohh lawdy, was I excited for lunch today…we had leftovers, baby!
In an effort to stick with this week’s attempt at less carbs with lunch, I opted to have my leftover chicken parm burger on a bed of fresh spinach, topped with a drizzle of Italian dressing.
I just topped the burger with more sauce, reheated it in the microwave, topped it with a little mozz, and quickly threw it under the broiler to melt. Surprisingly enough, it was just as tasty this way as it was last night. Jay, if the extra leftover burger is missing when you get home later, I swear it wasn’t me. It was Cody.
On the side, I had a my own personal veggie platter.
I thought about adding it to the rest, but figured it’d ruin it. They were better off on their own anyway.
I’m off to work shortly for my evening shift, where I’ll also probably end up doing my workout for today. I got so caught up in other things this morning, that I totally ran out of time, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I get some time to at least squeeze a strength session in. We’ll see how it goes!
Question for the Afternoon:
I don’t know what it is, but I’m feeling rather positive and perky today! What about you?

Today is fantastic because I got good news yesterday and the moment I woke up I had a chance again at life.
Kids are healthy, husband is healthy and I have pushed through challenges stronger than I had in a long time.
Also, because I have amazing people around me.
today is fantastic because I feel pretty stress free today. Which is rare for me, I usually have lots to do or am worried about something (bills, a daunting task, etc) but its just kind of mellow and I like it!

Today is fantastic because…my class threw me a surprise going away party. Friday is my last day of student teaching and they all made cards for me and then took turns giving me compliments and/or sharing a good memory of me as their teacher, plus they decorated the room. It brought me to tears, it was all so so sweet!
