Short and Sweet...

So I haven't updated since my birthday... whoa. haha I've been super busy getting my classroom ready for September 2nd. AHH! I'm almost there, but it feels like there's still a lot to do. Well, here's my rundown today:

Breakfast: 1 small wheat bagel w/CC
Lunch: Worked through lunch
Dinner: Chicken thigh, asparagus and 1/2 of a baked potato with fake butter. haha

I'll probably have some low- cal ice cream later... or a sugar free pop. mmm

Ok, short and sweet. =) Hope all is well with Danie... ttys

Three things I'm thankful for:

1) Marley...he hurt his poor lil paw today :*(
2) My jobbbbbb!
3) My organizational skills. holler. haha

Uh oh, staying up late again...

So no tae bo... I shoulda seen that coming, but I decided not to hit the treadmill for fear of overworking myself. That's ok, I'm confident I can get back on the right track.

Before I pass out, lemme leave a short entry:

Breakfast was the usual yogurt with banana, and a single nature valley bar. Lunch was leftover spicy veggies over white rice. I snacked on a handful of dry roasted edamame. Dinner was... ok, so sue me... a cheeseburger with mushrooms, onions, lettuce, tomato, and ketchup on a white bun. And lots of salad. I had a tiny sliver of Gi's birthday cake and a cup of coffee for dessert and that's it. Probably should have gone without the white bun, but hey, I only had one burger, and I didn't eat any cheesecake today.

Three things I'm thankful for:

-being able to spend time with Gi on her birthday!
-getting back into the swing of things with ShockWave. I'm getting excited about this year!
-thunderstorms. They make me feel like something extraordinary is about to happen.

Happy Birthday to Me

Hello! I had such a great birthday today... I woke up right after the glass guy came for my windshield. Finally! We went to brunch at the Whitman Diner. When we came home, we spent the day in the pool... and I added a little more to my sunburn/tan. Danie came over, along with some of my dad's side of the family, after dinner. It was really nice. The cake was sinfully delicious. Vanilla Chocolate Chip. Danie stayed to watch The Hangover again... STILL hysterical!!!! No Tae Bo today... ughhhh! TOMORROW!!! =)

Brunch: Cheese steak and fries. Hey, it's my birthday... that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!
Dinner: 1 bite of a chicken leg (it was raw--ew!), string beans and salad.
Dessert: Birthday cake... mmm... it was so bad. haha

Three things I'm thankful for:
1) Amazing family and friends for making my birthday special <3
2) Awesome storms
3) My Lakeshore order is coming tomorrow!

Whoops!

Ok, so I haven't updated in four or five days... whoops. I've been home, I've had a dead computer, and I've been trying to clean up my life before I move back to school. Let's do yesterday's food rundown before I totally forget:

Breakfast: 90 cal yogurt with half a banana and half a pear, 1 nature valley bar (~95 cal)
Lunch: a small salad with ginger dressing, a plain hot dog with no bun, and the other nature valley bar
Dinner: grilled tilapia, grilled veggie salad, and white rice with some soy sauce. Had a small portion of each.
Dessert: a thin slice of my new peach cheesecake. I couldn't resist... the crust is amazing, the consistency is perfect, and the peach sauce I made turned out beautifully.

After dessert I went to Gi's for a nice relaxing yoga session. While some of the poses proved to be a little challenging, I thought it was really nice. I'm thinking about doing a yoga rec class once school starts. We'll see!

So weight update: I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and they weighed me-- I'm down to 167! Slow and steady wins the race baby. By the end of September I'll be back to my high school weight!

I need to do some cardio. Bad. I'll probably hit the treadmill in a half hour or so. :)

Three things I'm thankful for:

-Seeing Gi again! Yay!!
-Getting my exercise ball back. I just like laying back on it and stretching.
-Learning how to make peach sauce. I should start selling my cheesecakes, they just get better and better. :)

=))

Ahh... Just finished a Yoga workout with Danielle. I'll get to that in a sec, just want to update...
Yesterday, I had a looooong day in the pool. We went in around 12 o'clock and swam until 6 o'clock!!! We were all burnt and tired! I didn't have breakfast, nor lunch. For dinner I had pasta with broccoli and a salad. My dad made burgers too, but I didn't have one. Yay!

Today:
Breakfast: Wheat bagel w/CC
Lunch: Leftover pasta (about 1/2 cup), mint chocolate chip weight watcher's ice cream
Dinner: 2 pieces of pizza... I know, I know =(

After dinner, as I mentioned, Danielle and I worked out again. This time we tried Yoga. It was very frustrating since I couldn't tell if I was doing it correctly since I don't have mirrors and also, because some of the moves were straining on certain body parts. I think I could learn to really enjoy it. As I told Danielle, my goal is to workout everyday from now until September first!!

Tomorrow we are going to try Billy Blank's Tae Bo.... I'm excited for this just because it's so different from Yoga. I feel like I didn't even workout tonight! But who knows what I'll feel tomorrow... which is my birthday =)

Three things I'm thankful for:

1) Being 22
2) My family and friends for all watching the clock ;) haha
3) The sun 8)

Busy, Busy

I have been running around for the past two days. Yesterday, one of my three pregnant friends had her baby at 3:44am. I got up bright and early, did laundry, got a shower, picked up my check, went to hallmark and then to the hospital. Let me just say, she beautiful and just perfect! After that, I came home for dinner and then went in the pool with my mom. Ahh. It was wonderful.
Breakfast: Wheat bagel with cream cheese.
Lunch: None
Dinner: Chicken cutlets, half of a baked potato and salad.
After dinner I had a fruit bar.

Today I woke up and did some more laundry, cleaned my room, gathered most of the things that I need to take to work with me and a few other things. By then it was around 4 o'clock and I realized I hadn't eaten so I made a half of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on wheat. I got in the shower and got ready to go to dinner over my mom's friend's house. We spent most of the night there, and now I am pretty tired!! Here is the breakdown.

Breakfast: None
Lunch: None
Snack: PB&J on wheat
Dinner: 2 small boneless chicken thighs, 1 rib, corn on the cob, baked beans and salad. It was delicious!!
Dessert: UGHHH!!!!!! I was craving a McFlurry........ so I shared one with Sport. =( Dammit.

Three things I am thankful for:

1) April Marie <3
2) Pool days... awww
3) Dinner at Kathie's... mmm

Olé!

How did it get so late? Guess our 9pm dinner at the Mexican place followed by mariachi set my schedule back a bit...

Ok, let me cut to the chase then get straight to bed:

Breakfast: steel-cut oatmeal with skim milk, agave, and blueberries
Lunch: tuna with artichoke antipasti spread on a whole wheat wrap served with tomato, and coconut soy pudding (it was more delicious than it sounds)
Dinner: chicken fajitas at the most Mexican restaurant ever. I only ate 2/3 of it... but then we split some flan. Whoops. It was WORTH it!

Three things I'm thankful for today:

-I'm going home tomorrow! Yay!!!
-not wearing any makeup for the past week. It's been pretty liberating.
-Mexican food. Mmmmm.
