A Smokin' Tuesday

OK so I guess I should explain my title to this post. Basically a load of firemen just left our place. As I was syncing up my Bodybugg and loading my daily pics, I notice a smell of burnt rice. When I went to tell my husband, I noticed the smell was coming from the guest bathroom/laundry room. I opened the bathroom door and noticed the smell was really strong and there was a haze. I started yelling for my husband and we both notice the smoke coming out of the bathroom. It wasn't billows of smoke, but you could definitely see it. Well, I grabbed my purse and called 911. The fire guys were at our place in no time. There were a ton of them. I think 2 trucks came out. I never had so many guys in our place. Well after checking it all out, it was our faulty washer/dryer (which is only 6 months old). They disconnected everything and now all my clean clothes that were hanging to dry, now smell like smoke. I guess I'd rather have smokey smelling clothes than burnt ones right? Yes, I'm thankful that everything turned out okay. Well be making use of that warranty tomorrow.

Okay so on to the clean clothes I wore today... We having a casual week at work so we are allowed to wear jeans the entire week. Here was my casual look...

The jacket, tank, and jeans all came from Target. The flat peeps are Steve Madden bought at DSW, and the necklace is from NY & Co. My jeans were fresh out of the now-broken dryer and was fitting good when I put them on. By the end of the day, I wish I had a belt on. I felt like I was always pulling up my pants. Gotta love strectch jeans...

Today's lunch was pretty thrown together. I didn't have anything planned so I had to work with what I had. I cooked up some tuna with onions, garlic, broccoli, and green peas. I thought the combo was pretty tasty. I paired it with black beans, and small slices of orange bell pepper. I even had 1/2 of a peanut butter Power Crunch Bar for dessert. Total for everything is 39 g protein, 35 g of carbs, 11 g of fat and a total of 395 calories.


Dinner was a simple spinach salad with a egg white, boiled spinach with garlic, and 2.5 oz of chicken breast topped with onions, mushrooms, and garlic. Why the overload in spinach? I bought a big bag at Costco and trying to get through it. Here are the stats for this meal... 31 g of protein, 8 g of carbs, 3 g of fat and a total of 189 calories


It was a cardio day for me. I went to Tuesday night spin class and got a great burn (394 calories). I use the Bodybugg that calculates my calories burned, but if you want an idea of how many you are burning, here's a calculator that might help you get an idea.


I hope everyone has a fab and smoke-free day!
