My Poor Baby

Awwww, my poor boy looks so out of it tonight. :-( He had his little cat bits removed today and he is doing well. Just a bit disoriented and tired. I totally understand the reasoning behind getting animals spayed or neutered, but it still makes me feel bad when I look at the little guy. I'm sure he'll be back to his bad crazy self in no time.


On a brighter note, my wonderful wife-to-be made me this AMAZING supper tonight! She marinated a huge steak overnight in a yummy concoction and cooked it in the oven (too freakin cold outside to grill). We halved the big slab of meat and she also made some yummy fried taters. Let me just say, the outside edges of the steak (the bits of fat) were so.freakin.good. I, of course, had to have a variety of condiments...I love sauces of any kind. The more the merrier! I had some HP, ketchup, and 57 sauce! Mmmmmm! Delish!! She's such a great cook, I sure lucked out!


So...my Greek yogurt was VERY YUMMY this morning! I had the blueberry one (see yesterday's post) and wish that I'd grabbed at least one more when I was at Whole Foods the other day. It will probably be awhile before I go back. It's a bit too far to go, just to get Greek yogurt.

The verdict on my Pumpkin & Prune bread and my Curried Sweet Potato & Carrot soup...O...M...G! Both were incredible! I brought one of my co-workers a piece of the bread and she enjoyed it so much she's expecting another piece tomorrow, lol! We'll see...not sure if I can spare a piece. ;-)

I think it will be an early night tonight...I got up super early to catch up on some things at work after my couple of days off. I got up at 4:45am...crazy. I was surprised, I actually got up without too much effort. Yay me!

Anyway, everyone have a great evening! Two posts, two days in a row...a record for me! Don't get too used to that people!

Squash, Gym, and Tags, OH MY!

Started the day early for a Sunday...8am. I blame the cat...as usual! The kitten just doesn't want us sleeping if HE isn't sleeping! We really should have gotten a couple of pet rocks.

Went out and did a bit of grocery shopping this morning...it was nice to be at the store when it wasn't too busy. Got my supplies for my lunch item for the week...I made Bacon's Famous Pasta Salad! Ok, it's not famous...I actually just created it yesterday and today was the first time making it. It COULD be famous...someday! Anyway, here's a picture:

Here's what went into the bowl:

• tri-colour pasta


• cucumber


• tomato


• chick peas


• feta


• kalamata olives


• balsamic vinegar


• EVOO

I believe that's all. Tasted pretty good. Hopefully it will be yummy for lunch tomorrow! I packed a few Kashi crackers (which I LOVE with my soups) to add some crunch. This bowl may look like one or two servings, but it's actually a BIG bowl that will get me through the week. I really should have added something to the picture for scale. Oh well!

The other item I made (for supper this time) was some acorn squash. Thank you to Kath for the tutorial on how to cook it! It was pretty yummy (see picture!). I made my better half a grilled cheese sandwich (forgot to take a picture)...she wasn't wanting any part of the acorn squash, lol. I added butter and brown sugar, yum!

Oh yes, I almost forgot...I went to the gym, yay!! I had a pretty good workout! I'd been thinking of trying to run on the treadmill for a good while now, but haven't wanted to do it while many people were there. I used to run quite a bit a few years back, but then I stopped working out, etc. Anyway, in the spring of this year I did something to my knee and haven't even been able to run across the street while trying to catch a light at the crosswalk. It's been quite painful, so that's part of the reason I haven't wanted to even try running on the treadmill. Anyway, the gym was pretty dead, so I gave it a shot! The first little bit hurt, but then I was able to find a rhythm that minimized any discomfort and didn't make me look like I was all gimpy. I only ran for 5 minutes, but I was so proud of myself. The cardio part of it wasn't a problem, since I've been doing the elliptical, so I was able to pay attention to how I was running and making sure my knee didn't do anything weird. Very proud. :-)

So, I have been tagged by Krista at Krista's Kravings!! How exciting! Been a few years since I've played tag...let's see how I do!

I'm off to bed! My workout and my cooking have made me sleepy! Have a great night all!

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!

I soooo admire all of you who blog every day! I am just so tired during the week, I just can't seem to do it. Work's been crazy and I've been working late fairly often, so by the time I get home, have some supper, organize my lunch and snacks for the next day, and have a shower, I'm super tired! I think I'm going to challenge myself to blog at least once during the week (in addition to my at least once on the weekend post).

I WENT TO THE GYM TODAY, YAY!!! I've been MIA from the gym for at least a week or two, so I'm so glad I finally went. It felt really good. :-)

At the gym (pronounced "guy-m" for those of you who enjoy the Simpsons...which are on right now, incidentally), I did:

• 5 minute walking warm-up on the treadmill
• 15 minutes on the elliptical - alternating my speed each minute between normal and fast
• 10 minutes walking on a 3.5 incline on the treadmill
• 30 minutes of weight machines and free weights

Food today included the following:

• tomato, feta, mushroom omelet, a couple of bites of potatoes, and a 1.5 slices of whole wheat toast with a bit of jam
• apple
• almond butter
• shake n' bake porkchop with herb and garlic roasted potatoes

On weekends I seem to forget to eat fruit, but today I was able to fit in most of an apple...my better half ate part of one and gave me the rest. Win win situation!

I keep forgetting to mention...I tried the Coconut Cream Pie LaraBar and I LOVED it! It was so very tasty! I'll buy that one again, for sure! I also tried the Cashew Cookie LaraBar...it was actually a bit dry for my tastes. It only had cashews and dates, so that could be why. All of the other ones that I've tried so far have had a bit more moisture to them. This is the first one that I've had with only two ingredients...the rest have had three or four. I have several more LaraBars that are sitting in the pantry that I need to try...I think the next one I'm going for has something to do with cocoa...anything with cocoa can't be all THAT bad, so I'm hopeful!

On a non-food related note...we got a Wii!!!!! YAY!!! We have Wii Play, Wii Sports, and the Wii Fit...all pretty fun! I just finished the running portion on the Wii Fit...we did the 2 person run, so we had a laughing good time doing that...passing each other AND cheating may have been involved. I wasn't the cheater...guess who it was! LOL! In all fairness, I had been sitting on the couch for about 15 minutes watching her do the other things like balance, yoga, strengthening, etc. So, I was nice and fresh when we started our "run"...so, while I was running, she was standing in place, moving the Wii remote up and down to make it THINK she was running! I know...cheater!

I seem to have quite a bit to say...I really should try to blog more often!

Ok, I've been meaning to post pictures of the damn animals...I say damn because they are all pains in the butt, but are also all damn cute...it's a love/hate relationship really. Ok, mostly love.

Ok, I really need to take the dog out, so I can come back in and sit on the couch again! Night all!

Chilly Weather Calls for Chili!

For supper my wonderful better half made a pot of YUMMY chili! It was soooo good! We have our chili in the southern US tradition (at least the traditional way my girlfriend's family eats it)...no beans! Just ground beef, tomato juice, chili powder, minced onion, salt, and pepper (see the picture of the mostly done pot). Can't forget the soda crackers (saltines) to either dip or crumble into the chili. We always wait until it gets pretty CHILLY outside before we make the first pot of CHILI! Ok, I've had a crazy busy stupid day, so please don't mind my lame humor!



So yeah...insane day today at work. It's been wiping me out lately. I'm pretty tired tonight, so after our Thursday night shows (we watch My Name is Earl and The Office), I think I'll lay in the bath for a bit and then hit the hay. I plan on either get getting up early and going to the gym or getting up early and going into work. Either way I NEED to get up!!!

Food from the day:

• Kashi GOLEAN Cereal with Skim Milk
• Strawberries
• Italian Wedding Soup and a Turkey Sandwich on Whole Wheat
• Grapes
• Chili with Crackers

Ok, back to tv and such!

A Month Today?! Say It Ain't So!

Okie dokie pokie. Been a lonnnnnnnnnnnng time since I've posted. I've really got no good reason, unless you count "just didn't feel like it" as a valid reason. It's actually been a month TODAY since my last post. That is insane. I've been thinking about posting, but just hadn't gotten around to it.

My evenings (prime blogging time) have been occupied by eating supper, bathing, fixing my lunch for the next day, and checking to see if the bloggers that I follow have posted another post since I looked last (on the way home from work...can you say "addiction"?). Anyway, by the time all is said and done, it's pretty much bedtime or I can't think of anything good to blog about. I'm trying, I really am! :-)

So, since I've blogged last, I have made a few lovely meals. I made an AMAZING Tomato Macaroni Soup. I made it on a Sunday and ate it for lunches for the week. It was sooo good and it just kept getting better as the week went on. I will DEFINITELY be making that one again! This weekend, I think.



I also made some Salmon with Zucchini (http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/recipefinder/salmon-provencal-zucchini-ghk0208?click=recipe_sr). Wow, soooo freaking good.





My wonderful better half made me some catfish awhile back, as well. I cut up a tomato to go with it (added some EVOO and S&P to the tomato). It was so yummy!



I also made another batch of Poop Soup (see last post) since the last time I made it. It is so easy to make, it's crazy. I highly recommend it.

Ohhhhhh, I FINALLY tried LARABARS!!! I LOVE THEM!!! I tried the following so far:

• Key Lime Pie
• Cherry Pie
• Cocoa Coconut

I usually eat about half of one at a time (usually after a trip to the gym). Tomorrow (if I go to the gym) I will try the Coconut Cream Pie. I'm very excited!

I'm not really sure if anyone is even reading my blog, so if someone IS out there, PLEASE feel free to leave a comment to at least let me know! I think that is part of the reason that I have had a hard time keeping up with this...I don't think I have any readers, so why bother. I started this blog for myself, so I guess it doesn't matter if anyone reads it, but it would be nice!

I've been doing fairly well at keeping up going to the gym. I still have a really hard time going during the week in the mornings, but I've been pretty good at going on the weekends. I usually go on Sat., Sun., and Monday morning. At least 3 workouts are better than none!

This post is getting long! I really should go to bed. I plan on going to the gym in the morning (lol, I say that EVERY night).

Food that I filled my face with today:

• Kashi GOLEAN Cereal with Skim Milk
• Chicken Parmigiana with Pesto Penne from East Side Mario's (leftovers from last night)
• Grapes
• Minute Steak with McCain Seasoned Oven Wedges

I think that was about it. Doesn't seem like a lot, but I was out of strawberries, so that was one less snack. I went to the grocery store tonight though, so I picked up a pomegranate, strawberries, and an Asian pear.

Ok, off to bed. One day closer to the weekend, yay!!

Poop Soup

I went to the gym today, yay!! I'm proud of myself...I almost talked myself out of going! We had a very busy day today. I took the day off, so we could go meet the minister and see the chapel where we will be having our upcoming nuptials. Very exciting! It's a little place (seats 20-ish people), but it is cute and cozy. Perfect for us. :-) Now, if only the rings we ordered would come in!


After checking out the chapel, we went and browsed a factory outlet place and then headed to IHOP for some lunch. I had a really tasty Garden Scramble (scrambled eggs with veggies) and I had most of one pancake. It was all very yummy. Then we headed back home for me to get a haircut, go to the gym, and go to the vet's to get the kitten his last shots. He was not very happy with the shot OR the thermometer up his butt! It's all good...he's been running around like nothing happened tonight, so it must not have bothered him too much.

This evening it took FOREVER, but I finally got all of my food items ready for work tomorrow. I cut up my watermelon for the rest of the week, cut up my strawberries, and grabbed my grapes. I also made something I like to call...Poop Soup. No, it's not made of poop, but it DOES LOOK like poop. Mmmmmm, pooooop. It is a Black Bean and Salsa soup. It looks gross, but it tastes pretty good! (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Black-Bean-and-Salsa-Soup/Detail.aspx)

Here is a picture:



Poop...or...soup? You decide. Almost looks like chocolate. Mmmmm, chocolate.

Anyway! On top of each serving in a bowl will be some sour cream and some green onions. I'll report tomorrow on if it was as yummy as it looks, lol.

Food for the day:

• All-Bran Strawberry Bites w/ milk
• Garden Scramble and one pancake from IHOP
• chicken caesar salad

Wow, doesn't seem like I ate a whole lot today, but it was a few things that were high-ish in calories, so it added up.

Anyway, must head to the couch...this "vacation" day WORE ME OUT! LOL!

YAY!

Been a LITTLE bit lax with my posting on here...no real excuses except for lack of motivation. Just didn't feel like it and just didn't have anything good to say. However, I HAVE done quite well with my eating, so that's a good thing! I've been successfully avoiding bad stuff and eating mostly good stuff.

Last week I made an amazing navy bean soup in the crockpot...it was sooooo good! I was very impressed with myself. Tomorrow I'm going to make a black bean soup (on the stove, not in the crockpot), so hopefully that will turn out nice.

Tonight is either going to be shake n' bake pork chops and stove top stuffing or chicken caesar salad. Either way...yum.

Food for the rest of the day:

• spinach and cheddar crepe-omelet (from a really good place called Cora's) - I had the other half of what I had yesterday when we went there
• a couple of strawberries
• toast (one piece) with almond butter (I've been wanting to try it and it was pretty good on toast!)
• raspberry smoothie

I'll probably have a snack at some point...perhaps a banana. Not sure yet.

Went to the gym yesterday AND today! YAY!!! I wasn't going to weigh myself today, but I was really curious, so I did...I have actually lost a bit! I'm down to 169.8 lbs. I was impressed, since I haven't really been getting much exercise...all I've really been doing is eating healthy. I guess it has helped. :-) Earlier in the week I went for a 40 minute walk outside before I went to work. At least it was something. My mom and I used to walk a bunch when I was younger...helped me lose weight back then, so I figured it was worth a shot now.

Ohhh, had an AMAZING nap yesterday! We laid down around 5:30pm and woke up around 9:30pm!! Ran out to grab some McDonald's (I had grilled chicken wraps) and then came home, laid around for awhile and went to bed again around 1am. Got up around 10am this morning. What a lot of sleep! It was nice.

Ok, one final thing...just wanted to add the little weight ticker, since there was a little change.

The Hacker's Diet

Wow, I didn't realize that I hadn't blogged since Wednesday! I've been crazy at work, getting home late, and super freakin tired through the end of the week. Got to sleep in until 7 a.m. this morning...I know, not REALLY sleeping in. However, I DID go back to bed around 9 a.m. and finally got up again around 11.

We have done pretty much nothing today. I like doing nothing sometimes on the weekend, it's nice! It's been a crappy rainy day today and I think it's a rule to lay on the couch most of the day when it's like that outside on the weekend.

Oh, I tried my first day on the first rung of The Fitness Ladder from The Hacker's Diet. It was not too bad. It gives you a few different exercises to do and 15 minutes in which to do it. You're supposed to do each rung for a week (or four days if you are already in ok shape). As you go up the ladder, it gives you more reps of each of the exercises. On the first rung, the only real challenge was the running. You run in place, which one wouldn't think would be all that hard...the catch is that you have to lift your feet 4 to 6 inches. Picture this...chunky girl, still in PJ's (i.e. no bra), running in place, lifting her feet up as high as she thinks 4 to 6 inches is. Now, picture the looks on the two cats' faces. They were looking at me with heads cocked, like I had lost my mind! I couldn't help but laugh. I knew I looked kinda funny. Hey, gotta do what you gotta do.

Anyway, food for the day:

• two grilled chicken snack wraps from McDonald's
• Greek chicken and rice (boneless, skinless chicken breast, Greek salad dressing, rice)
• whey gourmet protein powder with orange juice

Gym? Huh?

I soooooo did not go to the gym this morning. Nope. I had ALL the alarms going off multiple times, but went back to bed anyway. I was so nice and warm and cozy...it just didn't seem right to leave the bed. I will try AGAIN tomorrow.

Ate pretty healthy today:

• oatmeal
• strawberries
• chicken and wild rice soup
• grapes
• apple
• meatloaf and mashed potatoes (soooooooo good!)

Watched Baby Mama tonight. It was pretty funny. I've been really busy at work this week, so I feel kind of exhausted.

Was thinking of having a snack, but I don't know what to have and I feel too tired to eat it anyway. Going to go to bed.

My Weight In Pears?

My wonderful partner made pear preserves on the weekend and they turned out so yummy that she went back and bought more pears to make more pear preserves. She started out with 3 pounds of pears, which made 3 jars worth of preserves. Can anyone guess how many more pounds she bought? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

15

pounds

of

pears.

So...tonight I had a pear as one of my snacks! It was pretty good and it took me FOREVER to finish eating it! I cut it up and then had pieces in between songs...we were playing guitar hero. I can officially say that I officially SUCK! She is the master...she plays on Hard, while I barely manage on Medium! :-)

Tried...as usual...to get up for the gym this morning. Actually DIDN'T say, "I don't want to", like a little kid. Instead I thought, "yes, I'll go!". Then...I have no idea. Must have laid back down...the rest is history. So, I am trying another trick...I currently have two alarms. One beside me and one across the room. They are old cell phones, but are different models, so they have different alarm noises. The one across the room is obnoxious, so I turn it off and get back into bed (kind of annoyed). The one beside me is not horrible, but I still turn it off and go back to bed (less annoyed). Perhaps switching them may help. I am at a loss as to what else to try. I'll have to also turn on my back-up back-up alarm (number three). I'll post tomorrow with the alarm success or failure to get my butt out of bed and to the gym.

I keep staring at the last piece of pear on the plate in front of me...I am worried that I will forget that it fell on the floor and actually put it in my mouth. Probably not too bad...if we didn't have a dog and two cats. Ewwww! No matter how much you vacuum, the reminder of them is always there.

I was pretty proud of myself today in the food area of my goals:

• oatmeal
• strawberries
• gazpacho (cold tomato, cucumber, onion, tomato juice, hot sauce, etc. soup)
• big piece of bread (to go with the soup)
• apple
• grapes
• omelet (tomato, mushrooms, cheese, egg whites)
• half of a banana
• pear

I'm also blogging...another good effort for the day. Now...if I could ONLY make it to the GYM!!

Been Awhile...

So...yeah...haven't posted in awhile. Haven't been to the gym in awhile either. Have been eating WAY too many chips and such. Trying to get my lazy ass motivated again. I sure lose motivation quickly. It seems like as soon as I get tired, I lose the desire to exercise and/or eat healthy. All I want to do is lay on the couch...which usually leads to snacking...which usually leads to feeling worse about myself...which usually leads to me not going to the gym. A vicious cycle.

I feel like in my younger days (20's), I would be losing this weight much more easily. It really sucks. It seems like I can keep it up for a week or so and then once I see that I haven't lost anything or have even gained something, I think what the heck is the point. I can't do this for ANOTHER week and not see results! That's what the dumb brain tells me, anyway. I forget the fact that despite the tiredness from getting up early, I feel good about myself and my body feels good from the exercise.

Anyway, this morning I made myself a 8 week challenge. I used to do things, just to see if I could do them (i.e. cutting out caffeine - did that for a few years; cutting out swearing - did that for about a year; etc.). I don't know if I have it in me anymore, but I'm going to see.

This is my 8 week challenge:

• start date - Sept.8; end date Nov.2
• exercise at least 4 times per week
• eat MOSTLY healthy
• blog every day
• no chips

Today was my starting date for my personal challenge. While I did not exercise, I ate healthy all day, am currently blogging, and at NO chips! A decent start, I think. I plan to go to the gym tomorrow morning. Part of my motivation seems to come from reading various blogs and forums online. When I'm feeling super unmotivated, I try to read a few threads to remind myself that it's possible to lose weight and that exercise makes a person feel good.

Food for the day:

• oatmeal
• strawberries
• chicken and wild rice soup (made a HUGE batch in the crock pot on the weekend!)
• apple
• grapes
• chicken fried rice
• half of a banana

So...tomorrow is another day. I WILL get my lazy ass out of bed. I WILL go to the gym. I WILL eat healthy. Then, at the end of the day...I WILL blog!

Oh, the cravings!!

Wow, tonight has been VERY hard not to snack! I've been wanting my ketchup chips that have been sitting in the kitchen (UNOPENED) for the last week or so. Instead I had some watermelon. Not at all the same thing, but maybe it's satisfied my tummy for a bit. I find that the more tired I am, the more I want to snack.

Went to the big city fair today...did a lot of walking and tried to eat mostly healthy. I had Extreme Pita for lunch (grilled chicken), but had some cotton candy and some Coke, so I could have been better, but I suppose I could have been much worse.

Tomorrow, when I go to the gym, I will be weighing myself...it will have been a week since I last did that, so HOPEFULLY it will be a loss. I've worked really hard this week. Went to the gym and ate mostly healthy. We'll see what happens.

Found a very cool ticker to keep track of my weight-loss!



Thank god tomorrow is a holiday! I think the only thing planned is laundry and the gym. Ok, enough of this nonsense...time to go rest my tired self on the couch.

Almost the Weekend!

It's Thursday, which means it's almost Friday, which means it's almost the September long weekend! YAY!! So excited...nothing big planned, but after getting up early a few times this week, I'm very much looking forward to sleep!

May go to the drive-in on the weekend. It's an all-nighter, with 3 movies, so we'll see. Otherwise, just going to sleep, play, read, workout, etc.

Went to the gym this morning. I was the only one there for the first half hour. I love small gyms.

Food for the day:

• oatmeal
• watermelon
• chicken fried rice
• grapes
• egg salad sandwich

Pretty good day. I think blogging is helping me stay away from snacking in the evenings. I'm so busy doing this and entering my food and excercise for the day into The Daily Plate website, I don't have TIME to snack! LOL!

Ok, off to the couch I go. Need to lay down before I pass out!

Twice? In ONE Day??

Yes, I managed to go to the gym not once, but TWICE in one day! YAY! I was too sleepy to get my lazy butt out of bed yesterday morning, but got up today to go. Then, after supper, I went again with my woman. I just did a light workout, but it was nice. :-) I was very annoyed with myself yesterday for not going to the gym, so I'm very proud of myself for going this morning and then again this evening.

I had a very yummy lunch today. Wheatberry salad and a Campbell's Healthy Request soup bowl. Very good and pretty healthy. Then, for supper we had Subway. I love Subway. So good! I've been eating strawberries this week for my mid-morning snack and then grapes for my mid-afternoon snack. Tonight I cut up a watermelon, so that will be my mid-morning snack for the rest of the week. Mmmmmmmmmmm!

I know this is a short entry today, but I'm freakin' sleepy! Sometimes the early mornings kick my ass. Anyway, going to lay on the couch to watch/listen to my girl play guitar hero.

Holy Tiredness Batman

Wow, I'm sleeeeeeeeeeepy today. I don't enjoy Mondays when I wake up at a normal time, but when I wake up at 4:45 a.m., I enjoy Mondays even less. Yes, I DID make it to the gym this morning...yay me!!! It was tough, but I did it, so I'm proud of myself. It was kinda iffy for a minute when the stupid/cute cat sat on my chest and started purring. She never does that, so I was all, awww, how cute! I can't possibly leave while she's being cute (and not her usual devilish self). My woman was snoring and tossing and turning, however, so luckily, that cancelled out the cute cat nonsense. :-)

I was somewhat disappointed when I weighed myself this morning. I was 172.2 lbs. Now, this COULD have something to do with the Arby's that I had last night, so who knows. All I'm sayin' is that I'd BETTER be less than 172.2 lbs next Monday. Damn scale. Oh, did I mention that this morning I checked to see how many calories I had consumed at Arby's last night? I had been all proud of myself too, cause I didn't have as many fries or onion petals as I normally do. Ready? Almost 1000 calories. Umm, yeah. Wish I would have calculated the side items BEFORE I ate them. Oh well. Live and learn.

Gonna be an early night tonight. I'm going to go to the gym in the morning again and then take Wednesday off. That way I get at least a bit of sleep during the week. Makes for a long week if I workout all 5 days of the work week. I'm not sure how I used to do that. Getting older sure messes with a girl!
