Friday Theft?
It’s FRIIIIDAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! Do you know what this means?!?! It’s our first Gionino’s Friday in many weeks! Alas, that will have to wait til after work…..
I was having technical difficulties while working on last night’s post — but good news! I was able to add the video I wanted.. Check it out if you want a laugh!
Just for fun this friday, I used snapshots of my personal myfitnesspal page to show the stats on my meals. Yes, that qualifies as “fun” in my mind 🙂
Breakfast #1
Fun fact about me: I steal…. Um… let’s call it “hoard.” Yes, hoard. I hoard the Smucker’s Blackberry Preserves from our free office breakfasts. “Steal” is too strong of a word for single serving preserve packet… Right???
I love these blackberry preserves… They have little bits of seeds and taste awesome:
Today I brought a Sweet Wheat Alternative bagel from home, and then we ended up having free bagels from Panera at work! I stuck to my guns, and went with my Alternative bagel topped with about 1 tbsp of Panera’s low calorie walnut & honey cream cheese, and 1 packet of Smucker’s blackberry preserves:
Check out the comparison on the sweat wheat Alternative Bagel and a whole wheat panera bagel:
Sometimes, life is just about compromises! It’s crazy how different those stats are, and the Alternative bagel actually tastes like a real life bagel (unlike bagel thins).
Sad news though. I only have 1 of my blackberry preserve packets left…. I hope we get some more soon!

Delicious lunch, but lets be honest. All I can think about is pizza now…..
