Playing catch up

Wednesday, March 10, 2010 at 8:34PM

listening to: Jason Derulo - "In My Head"

feeling like: unbelievably tired

I've got loads of pictures to get to posting. First, let's begin with my food pics. I'll only post Monday's eats... (yes, I am that behind).

^my usual breakfast. One day, I hope to get up early enough to make some oatmeal. Until then though... le sigh.

^my snack - a skinny vanilla latte (I didn't much like it, i'll stick with my chai and such)

^this was yummy! With a name like mango macadamia, could you ever doubt it so?

^lunch was sushi!

^with some Thai Peanut Dressing

^ and washed down with some unsweetened iced tea...

^ i also snacked on some m&m's... no more, no less. :)

^this was consumed after a trip to the gym. white chocolate latte from Dunkin Donuts? Why yes, I'll take some! :D

I don't think I did very well during dinner on Monday. Firstly, I didn't take any pictures. Secondly, lack of sleep does not make my memory remember better. Thirdly, I'm probably blocking out all that I ate that night. So um... yeah. At least I went to the gym, right? Ugh. I know it's not good. I'm going through some things right now and my head is crazed.

I also wanted to put out there that I am going to cancel my Weight Watchers membership. Yep, that's right. You heard it. I'm really struggling with money right now, so it was between WW and the gym. At this point I am going to the gym more often than WW, so i figured this would be the wiser choice. I always have the old material from weight watchers when I'm going through some bad times...Plus, I've found some jewels of inspirational healthy living blogs on the net. I can also always track with sparkpeople OR daily plate, so I think I'll be alright from now on. I just need to weigh in one last time at the WW center AND invest in a really good scale. Anyone have any suggestions?

More soon!

^ a new hard covered book

^blackberries!

^family parties

^ candlelit cakes

^vegetable egg rolls (lumpia gulay)

^dunkin donuts! ♥ (note: technically part of the weekend, but I can't help but put up a picture of it)

More soon!

I heart pictures

Saturday, March 6, 2010 at 4:34PM

listening to: Al Green - "Let's Stay Together"

feeling like: blessed

Everytime I tell someone I switched from the iPhone to the Blackberry, they give me that look. I can't help but giggle. I may be one of the few to do so, but it's completely my perrogative. In a few months, maybe I'll feel differently, however, I am completely loving it at the moment.

In celebration of my new blackberry, here are even MORE pictures I took with my phones cam:

^hehe, this is what I chose to use as my bb messenger profile picture.

^youngest bro

^middle bro

^tea...

^the lighter version of their egg omelette. I opted to veggify and fruitify it too! :D

^fiance and I ended up treating ourselves to share a plate of harvest grain pancakes with banonos! YUM!

^agua. it does a body good!

^and lastly a little picture of the wall to document our trip to IKEA. LOL!

Stay tuned for LOADS of food porn AHEM... I mean pictures from my brother's party. It's the youngest's 16th b-day celebration so it's going to be jampacked!

More soon!

listening to: Kate Voegele - "I Won't Disagree"

feeling like: crazed

Yesterday, I went to the AT&T store and picked this bad boy up:

which led to picture taking fun like this:

let's back track a bit and show you what I did earlier in the day...

First, I played peek-a-boo in the bathroom mirror at work:

^my hair.is.a.mess... LOL!

THEN... I had breakfast:

with iced coffee and agua (but of course!):

Later on, the fiance surprised me by visiting and taking me out to lunch. I ended up getting these items from The Nut Box:

^cinnamon apple rings! YUM!

^needed a re-fill so... there you go ;)

^i just LOVE spicy peanuts... LOVE!

Didn't get to take a picture of lunch or dinner, but let's just say neither were that healthy... *shame* Also... remember the workouts I envisioned for myself? Yeah... not happening. I should just hit up the gym...

Le sigh...

More soon!

Indulgences...

Thursday, March 4, 2010 at 9:01AM

listening to: Boys Like Girls f/ Taylor Swift - 'Two Is Better Than One'

feeling like: stuffed like a turkey

My youngest brother turned 16 yesterday. The family and I celebrated with Chinese food. And... as you know, I can't seem to help myself with Chinese food. Let's just say I over-indulged and also had cake. But it was some dang good cake. Surprisingly enough, I'm not feeling guilty about it. I will be working out later today and weighing in for the first time in over 3 months. Que sera, sera. What's done is done, you know what I mean? I'll just have to be extra careful with my food from today on. :) Oh, and did I mention that there will be a party on Saturday at my house? I've already thought of a contingency plan though. I'll be creating my own menu for myself and only tasting a small portion of the regular party food. It's for the best. :)

Anyhow, I did well for the earlier part of yesterday! Here's what it looked like:

^the usual brekkie...

^a turkey burger for lunchy lunch... from Better Burger

^some unsweetened iced tea

*note: the combo (above) arrived with some veggie slaw. i took one bite and gagged. thank goodness there was some awesome salad at my meeting (which lasted from 10am-4pm). I wasn't able to take a picture of it though, because I am sure I would have raised some eyebrows if I walked in with an SLR camera and just started snapping away, feel me?

^the infamous cake with which I partook in...

before we get to that though, let's take a look at some of my snax:

^p-nuts

^greek yogurt with honey<-(not pictured)

^ back story: Chuck posted about her discovery of the above and I told her I would try it. So I asked my fiance to buy some at the store. He surprised me with a freakin' gallon of the stuff! LOL! It's a good thing, Chuck wasn't lying about it's goodness! LOL! She'd never steer me wrong anyway. ;)

dinner time! chinese foooddd! I broke out my 1/4 cup measuring spoon from Weight Watchers for this and both my brothers laughed at me. I didn't care though. I gotta take care of me, ya heard?
