Back again =) Dinner was fabulous and absolutely hilarious. First let's review what was on MY menu today.
Breakfast - typical bowl of oatmeal (400 cal)
Snack during the day - Kashi Cherry Dark Choc bar (120 cal)
Snack#2 - Medium apple (130 cal)
Lunch - Two slices WW bread with a black bean veggie burger and 2 tbsp hummus, side salad with veggies (about 400 cal)
Mid-Afternoon Snack - Nature Valley granola bar (140 cal)
When I got home - Cup of tea
Total: Approx. 1,200 cal (burning about 200 cal today in exercise) Net = 1,000 cal
I'm not completely sure how many calories dinner was but since I had about a 600 - 800 calorie window I'm pretty positived I didn't go over.
For dinner the BF and I went to an italian restaurant in my neighborhood and started off with a piece of bread that I'm pretty sure was whole wheat but was unable to tell for sure! For my main course I had grilled chicken with, MY FAVORITE, broccoli rabe. It's bitter but with a dash of salt and some parmesan it's fantasticoooo! I gave half my chicken to the BF and had another tiny piece of bread.
Then of course BF ordered dessert, because he knew I really realllllly wanted some. We split an italian "Bomba" made with Peanut Butter gelato. It was awesome and I'm happy he convinced me to have some. Here's the best picture I could find via google images to show an idea of what the Bomba looked like...
Sooo good and sooo worth it!
Anyway, after dinner we got in the car and waited for a bit as I called a costume store to see if they had my costume in stock. I'm planning on being...ready for it???
BATGIRL!!
Yes, I'm very excited too. I'm even more excited because I've been on the lookout for it for quite some time and the store we called had it! It makes me kind of less thrilled to wear something a lot of people will probably be wearing...but whatever! So just as we're about to pull away in the car, what walks across the street?
THIS!
Which wouldn't have been a problem, as I found it very amusing to see a racoon in Brooklyn. However, the BF is DEATHLY afraid of racoons. It is one of the most hysterical yet ridiculous fears...and his reaction was priceless. After he got over the shock, and I stopped laughing and was able to breathe normally again, he drove me home and went to go pick up the BATGIRL! costume for me.
Ah what a night, tomorrow's Tuesday which means I'm one step closer to my day off (Wednesday!). Goodnight!
