la deee daaaaa

ahh. went to the gym & honestly. a good cardio sesh always makes me happier

i did 30 min. elliptical

30 min. stairs

with some stretching & some crunches..

i saw my old teacher there.. she told me i do too much cardio and i should incorporate weight training.. i really would like to! i want to be cute & toned. but honestly the boys are always using the machines & weights.. ( & i go to a large gym .. there are always millions of people there though!) 

anywho.. what are your favorite ways to tone up?? 

weight train? strength? etc.. i need HELP!

k. so i went out to lunch by myself... hahah well it was to the pizza place i work at so it wasnt THAT weird.. any way was SO PROUD I SNAPPED A PICTURE very surreptitiously.

but then ... i deleted it.

after ALL THAT.

okay so

** lunch was: broccoli & spinich in garlic & oil.. 

then grilled shrimp with peppers, tomato, and onions in a marinara sauce OVER the spinach and broccoli. (this has to be my all time favorite meal.. because it's not on the menu!! they make it for me!!!)

and they give me JUMBO sizes that a normal person couldn't finish. but there are children starving around the world. i cannot let food go to waste...

after i got home i ate this.......

.. after my homemade applesauce this morning. i TRIED to make my own..

SUCH an epic fail.

i don't even know what it was that i made.

first of all i used a pear...uhhh, hahahahahahahhhahha

so it was more like pear juice?

and i topped it with brown sugar, cinnamon, blueberries & whipped cream.. but it was far past being saved... 

what the hell. i ate it anyway

okay kiki, literally was eating my tilapia as i read your comment. hahahahh beans shall be tomorrow night! (or LUNCH! or a little breakfast omlette?  ;)  ...)

family got chinese food. and didn't order me any.....! GRR.

so i was still in the asian mood when i found an ASIAN stiry fry in the freezer!!! WOOOOOO

and TILAPIA's! YAYYYY

so i cooked those bad boys up

and ate my dads steamed veggies from his meal. because he doesn't eat green things..

then i micro'ed a sweet potater because i love them & have missed them so much and mashed her up with some salt & a dash o cinnamon.. oops, ketchup on the side though! don't hate i loveee that salty dude!

finished product....

i'm off to my best friend's house to watch CHANGELING with her and her mommy

& eat ICE CREAM! i have a huge hankering for ice cream right about now & its like 18 degrees out. hahaha

had my nightly popcorn.. i was too lazy to put grapes in their own bowl so i threw them in the popcorn one.. and then just picked them out... oneee by one.

i woke up reallyyyy hungrrry!

and to find out my camera screen CRACKED so i cannot see any picture that i take, i must take them at random and hope for the best.

sigh.

i really wanted french toast so i whipped some up...

hmm i eyeballed the eggbeaters, a bit more then 1/4 cup..

tonsa cinnamon, 

abbout 1/4 cup skim milk

2 tbsp vanilla extract

literally i took 5 pictures of it cooking only to realize JUST now as they uploaded that i overshot the skillet.

well done!

in the back is a bowl of homemade applesauce (the last of it =/) 

fresh berries with a dollop of fage!

this was just what i needed.

but afterward i wasn't full!!!

so i had another bowl of berries with whipped cream & some B'nPB. that always makes me smile

anyone have good homemade applesauce recipes :)

heheh

saturday to do:

have a leisurely time @ the gym, just get my head off things

perhaps walk the pups

hang out withhh the family.

RELAX

read your blogs.

... a downer

i just realized i posted all of my pictures backwards...

so i came home early from the dance...

the thing is, i don't drink alcohol.. it's how my brother passed. i don't feel comfortable around it just yet & all of my friends were about to go out to bars, etc. etc. i'm tired.. today i'm really missing tim for some reason and i was HUNGRY. 

i love my haircut, i looked good. it was great to see everyone. but i just wasn't in the mood to be out until 3 am. i don't think i'm ready to do that just yet

ED wise & i'm still upset over my brother...

so my mommy came to get me.. shes literally the best

i walked in on these pups!

anyway..

i went to my best friends house and we munched on carrot sticks before the dance , we were like rabbits. hahah (i thought i would be going out after the dance for the hibachi & bar crawll.. littttle did i know..)

so i came home RAVENOUS and ate the rest of my parents dinner...

top is sea bass & shrimp scampi!!!! with really really delicious veggies! 

i do NOT know what this was but it was OUT OF THIS WORLLLD

it looks like spinach fettucini?

then it had some tomato-y garlic sauce with sauteed eggplant and mushrooms. oh my <3>

i just had 1 cup homemade applesauce which is the greatest comfort food. i forgot how much better it is homemade!!

i had asian broccoli w/ spicy mustard this afternoon.. i've been getting hungry a lot lately....

& thus picking when i shouldn't be!

okay.. i'm off to eat popcorn & watch some t.v. with molls (my sister! )
