INTERNET AGAIn!!

So after spending some time (1.5hours) on the phone with my cox and linksys friendssss... I HAVE INTERNET!!

Check back later for some juicy posts...

ARG INTERNET!

Hi friends!! My internet isn't working!! It's been down for 2 days :(

So....I am going to try and get it fixed tomorrow and if I can't...I'll post from a different location
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Keep Checking Back!!

Sweet Dreams!

Mother Earth!

I ended up running

• 4.51miles
• 45min 01sec

I thought it was a little overcast today...WRONG. It was soo hot and I was super sweaty when I got home so I refueled with some coconut water.  To be honest...I don't LOVE the taste of coconut water but I like how it makes me feel post run.  It isn't super sugary like some drinks and I actually feel good when I drink it.  Try it!

I hate waking up late because then I end up skipping a snack.  When I got back from my run..it was around 12 and I had to go to work around 2 today...so...I had lunch.

Sorry about this pic..not the most appetizing  but it was delish.

• slice of whole wheat toast with stone ground mustard
• bison frank
• carrots and bean dip
• Pacific Tomato Soup

For a snack I packed some whole grain crackers, a banana with barney butter and a salad made from 

• cucumbers
• tomato
• onion
• olive oil
• lemon 
• salt and pepper

I ate about 1/2 the salad.

I was STILL hungry despite the large snack.  That's what happens to me when I skip my mid-morn snack.  I get uncontrolably hungry.  I don't mean to skip snacks..it's just hard because I have to eat lunch by 2:30..when you wake up at 9:30 (like I did today!! SO LATEE I KNOW!!)..its hard.

For din, I stopped at Mother Earth...the hot bar was more than lacking.  All the good stuff was gone! I saw some sort of spinach lasagna thing and got all excited...only to find the little thing empty. UGH!!  So..I went to their Macro/Vegan stuff and got:

• Thai Dumplings (really good...the filling was like a vegetarian egg roll filling)
• Sesame Noodles (just had a few..but really good)
• BBQ Tofu.  I decided I just dont like this..too chewy. cool, just wasted $5
• Salad (that I topped with some smoked salmon...a tiny piece)

This is a pic of the dumplings and the sesame noodles.

ate about 1/2 the salad.

I felt snacky post dinner so I had a few Stacy's Bare Naked Pita Chips (about 4), a Cliff Nectar Cacao Bar (this was for dessert) and a small bowl of Flax Cereal with Skim Milk.

Review:

Not that great.  It was fine...but I much perfer the reg Cliff Bars.  This bar reminded me of the Cliff Z bars...but I like the Z bars better.  I don't think i'll buy them again although reg Cliff bars (along with Larabars) are my absolute faves.

Now, I am going to go be a boy and watch the Gator Game on ESPN..then watch some girly shows like real housewives and such.  Oh and maybe i'll get around the reading.  

Engagements Galore

Seriously...every person I know is getting engaged.  It's like flu season...only people are happy.  It all started in November when one of my best friend's from high school got engaged..and then another on Jan 1st, and then 2 girls in my former sorority, and then a girl from high school....

First, I need to find a man to be engaged too...then I can get in on the action.

But on a serious note, Congrats to all!!  Very exciting!

Today was supposed to start my 24hours facebook free since I am always lurking on facebook.. but I OBVIOUSLY had to ring stalk the two girls that just got engaged so...those 24hours will just have to wait.

For din last night, I made a really good chicken quesidilla

• whole wheat wrap
• chicken breast
• mushrooms
• fresh sauteed spinach
• skim mozz cheese
• red peppers

with a side of Pacific tomato soup and some Veggie Fat Free Refried beans (sooo gooddddd).

and half a cup of Stonyfield AfterDark Fro-Yo.  YUM.

Breakfast this morning was completely pathetic.  It was so sad and I am embarrased to even post it (just because it was lacking..no offense to Cream of Wheat)

I had pre-packaged Maple Brown Sugar Cream of Wheat...it really lived up to it's name of Maple and Sugar.  I reallyyyy need to hit up the grocery store.  Plus a few mission figgys.

I might go for a run in a bit...we shall seee...but I am def running today..probably around 5m...nice and slow.

I leave you with pictures of my boyfriends...

My true love is Chuck Bass...aka Ed Westwick.  Can you tell I have a type?

QUESTION????: Do you have a certain look you always go for?

Manic Mondayte

HI friends!

Happy Monday.  It was so nasty outside..that I did nothing.  except for facebook all day and go to the mall and boarders.  I got the new Jodi Picoult book.  She always cooks up a good novel...I somehow always end up crying and become more knowledgable on topics such as:

• teen suicide
• heart disease in children
• Eskimos
• leukemia
• school shooting

wow. thats so depressing.

We tried to take our Kitty to the mall today..but she really wasn't having it.

my roomie and kitty

Breakfast was PB and J Oats!

• 1/2c oatmeal dry
• 1 scoop almond butter
• 1 scoop all natural  jelly
• sprinkle of trail  mix
• banana
• to.die.for.

Jelly made it sweet and delicious. (the pic won't load..argggg)

Grabbed Subway at the mall..had a turkey on honey oat w/all veggies and some oil and vin. Plus a water :)

Snacked on Mary's Crackers, Figs and a Peach Chobani.

So, while at boarders, my roomates and I stumbled across this little proclamation:

"How Jessica Simpson Lost 10lbs in 5 days" plastered all over a mag cover

Then these two pics were side by side:

Two things to be learned from the mag cover:

1. Lay off J-Simp.  Nick Lachey has been happily ever after post-divorce...she on the other hand as run around with the Jackass guy, John Mayer, Tony Romo..leave.her.alone.  Also, sorry she isn't anorexic anymore.   SORRY SHE DECIDED TO START EATING AGAIN.

2.  However...

Try this little trick.  Wear your most unflattering, heinous, awkward outfit in your closet (should resemble this high waisted jean mess).

Then...a few days later (like 5..to  make it somewhat realistic)...wear something that is slighty less heinous and unflattering (perhaps a corset like top).  I bet people'll be sayin you lost 10lbs too.  

Or just don't wear things that make you look fat...when you're not...

OFF to SHRED with JILL!

Go Gators!

Basket.Is.Amazing.

I finished the chocolate covered pretzels.  They were divine.  I loved them.  The Lindt truffles are also amazing.  I act like I have never had them before haha.

Oy. The weather was beautiful...so I layed out at the pool and got Pita Pit.  I had:

• hummus
• tiziki 
• cucumbers
• spinach
• tomato
• pickles
• green peppers

Then I went to the University of Florida baseball game. SO FUN.  UF's my alma mater (I sound soo mature and old), I still live in Gainesville and I have never been to a game.  Sad I know.  Today was my first and it was really fun.  We beat Tennessee 10 to 0 (when I left).

Check out these pho-tos:

Albert and me...what what

I moonlight at a baseball player...with out a neck...

Had a Kashi Bar and a bite of a fried oreo (eh...not that great...to0 fried tasting for me...I like me some regular or-e-os)

Dinner was a delicious chicken parm and some pasta...so full off all the sweets...

Tomorrow!  I am going to do a super sprint triathlon for fun so:

• 250m swim
• 4mile bike
• 1.5 mile run

I am pretty excited about this because it will be a nice change up of my normal workouts.  Should make the time go quickly!  Plus I need to "work off" the basket I just consumed so I 

look more like this:

and not this:

HOLY COW

THIS JUST CAME TO ME FROM FED EX (i am actually friends with the delivery guy).

FEAST. YOUR. EYES.  It's called the VIP..naturally.  

BEST PARENTS EVER.

I'm probably going to be a giant whale after this...but. o.m.g.  I just devoured the chocolate covered pretzels and sampled a few other goodies.  

I'll report back later...with my other eats (which will hopefully be healthier)
