I LOVE fancy plates & cups!

I have the MOST awesome friend in the whole wide world!!! She said she got tired of seeing my work plates on my blog so she went to Pier 1 and bought me some cool new "tools of the trade" to use. The only catch is I have to keep them in the office :) LOL.

How cute are these?! LOVE the mini bowls and the fun patterns on the plate. You totally rock, Rachel!!!

Of course my new plates had to make a guest star appearance today for breakfast. I started off with some fabulous fresh berries.

And made up a breakfast scramble with (1 egg, 2 egg whites, bell pepper & onion).

I used my Thomas Double Fiber english muffin to make an eggwich out of my scramble.

All together with some half caf coffee using my super cool new plate and mug! I think I was smiling my entire breakfast just looking at my fun new plate & cup!

I am so excited to report that I broke the 3K mark & rocked my steps yesterday. Here is my quick recap:

Calories Burned: 3,122 (I Heart You, Body Bugg!)
Steps taken: 17,314
Calories Consumed: Hopefully near my 1,500 that was planned but not sure due to the cake intake!

I definitley think it helped getting up at 4:30 AM but you know, I will take it for what it's worth!

  5. Janetha~ Me too - it's the little things! At least we are easy to please lol. Too bad you couldn't join your sis and nieces in the City. Thanks.

    Beadi ~ I started to realize I eat more meals at work then home so maybe I need to create a collection there too :)

    KitchenPanda ~ I heard Pier 1 is having a clearance sale if you are looking for new "tools". Thanks!

    Kristi ~ Thanks, it is in one day but it is my calories that I burn ALL day long, not just through exercise. I have a Body Bugg (www.bodybugg.com) and it calculates all my calories burned all day.
