Miss Ladybugs Diary

Good morning Miss Ladybug.
Morning Girlfriend!! I just posted in your diary! Hugs! Kim


Hey Kim! Stopping in to see how your morning is going. My aunt lived in El Reno (she has since passed away) and we'd go through there every summer. Hope you all are spared from any tornados....has the rain stopped?

Hey there!! We didn't get any out our way, thank goodness. This morning, finally a brief bit of sunshine, but the weather man said more storms moving up from Texas tonight. And tomorrow only a 40% chance of rain, and 20% for Friday. The weekend however, is posted as sunny and nice. The only thing I'm loving is no watering the plants, flowers and garden lately, and they are all just going nuts with all this rain, I'll have to take some pics of the climbing rose bush that is finally taking off. This is the FIRST year in three years it has bloomed so I'm in awe! I hope your day is a good one!

I know I said I was only doing group Power last night. Well, I did do power, but you know I get to the gym everyday about 5:30 some classes do not start until 6:30 and I'm not just going to sit there and do nothing, so I usually bike ride or elliptical for 30 minutes. I rode the bike last night about 7.5 miles then took Power, maybe that's why I'm dragging butt today and have limited energy. Tonight is group groove, and it starts at 5:30, so I won't be doing anything else but that this evening, which is enough! So far today I have had the following:

Breakfast
Raisin Bran 1% milk
2 cups coffee
2 tsp sugar

Pretzels for snack~~ Where's the mustard. :(

Lunch:
Chicken Noodle by Progresso, I know processed, but i like it and it's only 200 TOTAL calories for the can, you can't beat that with a stick.

Afternoon snack
1 LARGE Carrot (heheheh luke)

Dinner: I don't know yet, but I will put money on it that it will have to do with Black Beans and salsa!! mmmm, I'm craving it right now! I need to stop by the store and grab some tortilla I'm out!

That's about it for now, chat at you all later!

Kim, how is that Progresso soup as far as sodium goes? I've been looking for a good canned soup that's low in sodium, but I haven't found one yet.
 
It's funny because around 1 or so each day, here is Kim sitting at her desk with this huge ass carrot in her mouth. I must look obscene, but ask me if I care???? Hey, I love them and it's just something else to eat until I get bored of those too. :rolleyes:

You are hilarious! That's exactly what I'm picturing! Sort of looking around munching on a carrot. Hell yes, that's just CUTE. I love mustard as well. We surely do have similar palates.

Have a great night at Group Groove ;)

Tom, if your looking for low sodium, try those healthy choice soups, they are not bad and the are very low sodium, I have those last week. I'll look at the progresso, I'm not sure on those

Morning! (well for me anyway, lol) Hope you day goes well. I'm a grumpy bunny today, myself. Grrrr.

Oh Curves, I hope you feel better later in the day!! You've been working really hard, maybe that's why your body is feeling that way today.

It is so good Sophie, you buy the black beans in a can, in of course your canned bean section of your grocery store. They are little black beans, and good!!

take about 3 cans of black beans (drain the juice out) I usually clean them in a strainer.
2 cans of corn
about 4-5 green Onions or Shallots I think you might call them there
about 1 cup of chopped Cilantro
3 jalapeño Peppers
2 tomatoes cut up small pieces
1 green Bell Pepper
I like to add lime juice just a spritz
I also like to add 1 Avocado cut up.

Basically you chop or cut up everything small mix it in a bowl all together and make a dip/salsa out of it and use tortilla chips to eat with. Personally, I can eat it all by itself. LOL

The black beans I mentioned earlier, I take those same beans, put them in a tortilla with regular salsa and a little cheese, tomato and lettuce and eat it like a wrap also. mmmm it's so good and so good for you!
DOES THAT ALL MAKE SENSE?
 
Hey Sophie, Cilantro is a very tasty herb that a lot of people use in Mexican food. Let me see if I can attach a picture.

Yum, thanks for the recipe! I have all those ingredients I believe, appreciate the directions Miss Ladybug!
 
Your welcome Luke, when I got home from the gym, there was this really pretty colorful bird on my feeder. It was yellow, blue, purple, red and green, it's the most beautiful bird ever, so I hope this picture I just took shows his colors. Let me see I can attach it.

Oh my gosh, is that ever a pretty bird! Awwww. I love birds. Thanks for taking a picture and sharing it.
 
Hey! Yeah thanks for the recipe, I definately have to try that out as well. I know this Indian restaurant we go to uses a lot of cilantro and at first I was kinda iffy about it and now I like it :D It does have a strong taste though, so on certain things that have light flavors you don't need to use much at all.
 
Hey MLB! What is this group groove class? Is the gym far? I know you mentioned that you dont really live close to town so I was wondering.

I absolutely love cilantro; please make me your salsa! Are the beans hard though? Usually I cook them because they feel a bit hard out of the can, but I know they're used in salads so I wasn't sure.

That bird is so pretty, it looks tropical like a parrot or something.

Have a good evening and TY Missie!
 
Yeah, I thought the bird was tropical also, but it's actually a common bird in OK. Strange to me, but it is. The black beans I buy in the can are not hard at all, just the opposite. Everytime we make the salsa, we get our friends addicted to it. Basically you just add as much or as little of each item that you want. Some people may want more cilantro than others, some may want to add more tomato, it's all up to the person making it for sure! My Groove class is a full hour of high impact dancing. To include Hip-hop, salsa, and we just started a new track of Swing dancing, reminds me a lot of OLD FLAPPER moves, it's awesome. And it makes me sweat like no other. All ages are in this class, you just do the moves to YOUR ability. Nobody is judging anyone on how well they do, it's so great! My gym is in town, and I live about 25 miles out of town. So I always go to the gym right after work. Tonight I came home from the gym and had ONE small slice of pizza and my glass of Merlot. That's all, but I'm full and it worked for me. I thought I was going to have black beans and salsa wrap tonight, but the hubby got home before I did and put one of those Pizza's from Sam's that we bought over the weekend. They are the best! I think one slice is about 300 calories, so I don't feel to bad, I think I had about 600 for breakfast and lunch and snacks, so I still stayed under my 1600 a day even with my glass of wine. Not bad, and I burned at least 300 at the gym easy. I'm happy with it! And that's all that matters right?
