low on food?whats a blogger to do?

Hey girls I'm glad to hear I am not the only Friend addict! I just might watch an episode tonight.

Anyway today i moved into my dorm its pretty boring nothing happening tonight except people moving in and none of my roommates are here(which i am liking my own space thing) but i also know NO ONE here, ekkkk. its pretty nerve racking hopefully I'll meet some people tomorrow.

Let me show you my dinner i am eating right now. I have yet to really get food i of course have plenty of bars and peanut butter. but no food except bananas and Cuban bread from lunch today.I think this is a pretty sad looking dinner but oh so GOOD!

• piece of Cuban bread
• 1.25 banana
• some of my roasted pecans(so good make these asap)
• Justin's honey almond butter

OMG Justin's almond butter is amazingly yummy! i didn't think i liked almond butter, boy was i wrong.

review: 

i had the honey almond butter which was fantastic, not really gritty mostly smooth with slight pieces of almonds, slight honey taste but not over whelming.i usually stop myself at one tbsp for some stupid calorie reason but i liked that this was about 2tbsp, it was perfect. The ingredients are everything i know. The nutritional facts are pretty good, 3grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein. i want to try more!

ingredients: Dry Roasted Almonds, Organic Honey Powder (Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, Organic Honey), Organic Palm Fruit Oil, Sea Salt.

nutritional facts:

I didn't over eat that much i may of had one to many cookies but only 3 (they were all generous sizes) and a veggie burger, corn, guac with chips. pretty good for a dinner but i felt over stuffed.

anyway(no pictures sorry i was delirious half the day)

This was a very good sweet dessert lunch. a mock Cinnamon roll if you will.

Went to see Ice Age 3 with the boy! we went in to the theaters and no one was at the ticket buying booth! so we went inside and only saw the concession stand people, so we just walked into the movie! no one stopped us, it was weird but fun! there i snacked on a trio strawberry bar and green tea, plus 2 cookie dough bites zoe had.

at the end i was still hungry(9pm) so went back to my house to eat dinner

I didnt end up eating my whole foods for dinner bc i want to be really hungry to enjoy it all so it will be lunch today! but dinner was a bowl that was a shmorishborg of...

• Cottage cheese
• Homemade guacamole
• The other veggie burger my dad grilled
• 1 egg/1 egg white "fried"egg (used pam to cook it on stove)

Dessert

A lil hand of m&m's and 2 squares of dark chocolate.

YOGA

tried doing stress reduce yoga from yogatoday.com (it was their free class of the week) but i got to say i love challenging myself so i didn't particularly enjoy this class so i stopped 11min in. This would be GREAT for first timers and people who just want to reduce stress but i wanted a yoga workout flow. SO i went to my podcast and did the balance flow and guess what

1. i can do all the vinyasas without a problem
2. I went from tree poses to toe balance back to tree pose(all on only one leg!!)
3. I did the crow for two breaths this time! doubled my record.
4. I feel sooooo much better and energized, i love yoga and i love how i feel about my body after. I am so proud of my body for being able to adapt and get stronger to hold these poses.

This morning:

I snacked on a couple pecans and date before i did yoga- yoga amazing podcast balance flow. i did soo well! i even was able to go down in a toad balance and stand back up directly to a tree pose! i was pumped. after this 30min class i did my OWN flow to kanye west and lil Wayne haha  it was there more mellow raps, worked well i was focused i did warriors,chaturangas,down dog, wheel and such. i will for prob 15min. it was a lot of fun i think i will try to add my own lil flows after practicing with a teacher.

YOGA

This morning i woke up and did another INTENSE yoga class from YOGATODAY.COM. it was the "transforming fear into courage and self confidence" lots of chaturangas, downward dogs, lots of arm strength. They also introduced hand and headstands( i can not do these yet but its something to work on) it was an hour long i really enjoyed this one a lot and cant wait to master it!  

this class like all their classes (all about an hour long) was $3.99. Compare that to DVD's you buy for $15 for 30min sessions

Brekkie 

was overnight oat bran

• 1/3 cup oat bran
• 1/3cup water
• 2/3 cup almond milk
• spoonful of okios Greek vanilla yogurt
• Tsp of vanilla
• sprinkle of sweetener
• 1/3 smooshed banana

All of those soaked overnight in the morning i added

• chopped up dried cherries
• 1 TBSP of melted WCW peanut butter
• colorful sprinkles for a nice touch and a lil crunch

At first i wasn't sure if i liked it but after adding he pb i fell in love. This is the perfect brekkie for a hot morning.

squash pancakes?!?!

*this was supposed to be published  yesterday*

last night was a lot of fun me and the boy went to a party with his friends! i may or may not of already been pre-gaming with the boy before this ;) but at the party was a Foosball or (however you spell it) and we started betting if he won i would pay for a meal ....long story short i owe this boy 3 meals. But let me tell you they were pretty close games. 

This morning i woke up(it was 12:30) and wanted to make something up but what?! i looked in the fridge and i saw hamburger (no), lettuce(no) squash!!!!! so i grabbed the spaghetti squash and made a "pancake"  it was pretty awesome i might make on tomorrow if i feel vegtablely. On the side was a lil potato with a lil cheese and a slight dab of butter.

It was pretty awesome.

Today the boy and i hit up some stores with unbeatable deals.

1. Goodwill. the boy and i love thrifting( i do not like buying expensive clothing but i have no problem buying expensive food...hmmm odd?) I got a white tube dress($16...but wait it has a green tag so it dropped to $8!), and this white knee length hollister skirt($6)
2. Dollar store- everything in the store was 1/2 off haha so i got 2 candies, 2 "leather" string for jewelry making and 2 packs of yummy mints, and my sister one of those slap bracelets (5 cents)

I didn't get hungry for about 5hours!?!? very odd. But when i got hungry we were at the mall so we went to toojays! The boy and i love tojays very much. Bring me to a deli with soup and salad and i am a happy camper. There we got a bread appetizer. I had a slice of rye bread and dipped it in deli mustard. I ordered The vegetable pita that came with a side of fresh veggies.(no pic nervous about taking pics at restaurants)

• cucumber
• black olives
• onion
• tomato
• random salad veggies
• HUMMUS
• TABLEAU

and of course some of the boys fries :)

Then the boy and i got  white and black cookies.I normally am not a fan of caky cookies but these were amazing i had 3/4 of it.(this thing was a large cookie) and made the boy finish mine bc too much sugar/junkie food makes me feel ill.

I did not do yoga :( since we have been running around the town doing random things.

Giveaway: wing it vegan

curly top

camera cord is back in business

 I found my camera cord!

This is what i have been eating(not all of it just the highlights) since last time you saw the pics.

ICED COFFEE

All blended in a magic bullet

• coffee
• caramel sugar free syrup
• handful ice
• lil almond milk
• Cinnamon 
• whipped cream

I love this! since it is sooo hot over here this drink is very refreshing when i want a cold yummy drink without a heavy smoothie.

This is the apricot/coconut/pb oatmeal cookie.

Also very good will be making more oatmeal cookies in the future

I have been having a lot of salads. This one was AMAZING

LEFTOVER SALAD:

• romaine lettuce(no spinach left )
• tofu that was marinated in my dads home grown hot sauce (very spicy but sweet)
• lil steamed broccoli 
• yellow bell pepper
• roasted tomatoes
• grilled red peppers/onion
• raw corn (I'm in love with raw corn now)
• Hummus as dressing

I think that's all, i basically just looked in my fridge and added everything i could find that was a veggie. so i would call it leftover salad

sweet potato, and English muffin with toaster oven toasted marshmellows 

I love this sweet snack/dessert.

Oat bran with banana, WCW PB, Choco chip PB

Sweet/savory sweet potato fries:

• Half with mozzarella cheese, hummus
  
• Half with Cinnamon,lil sugar, WCW peanut butter

I love sweet potato fries/anything sweet potato. I think they are my fav veggie or tied with broccoli.

Some kind of smoothie with whipped cream ( yummmmmm)

This is a Pancake pizza

• pancake
• WCW peanut butter
• lil strawberry jelly
• coconut

This was fun to make i love bready goodness

Speaking of bready goodness...

These are the banana baked doughnuts i made yesterday. 

Banana doughnuts

The recipe can be found here

Review: these are DELICIOUS. But they are more bready and dense then regular airy,fluffy doughnuts. But for approx 160 cals these are great as a snack or brekkie paired with fruit.

Zoe liked it too as you can see he likes to ham it up to the camera.

I had one yesterday as a snack,today with brekkie,and later prob a snack with smoothie. I love it!

Thats all for right now

 have a great day!

almost forgot to title it

Quick Post going to try to make this blog pretty or something.

Lunch:

sweet potato and a little crust off of zoe pizza

Dinner

Today the boy and i decided to go shot some hoops, and i do not know where all my skills went. I played point guard in 3rd-6th or 7th grade dominating but now i can barley make a close shot and I'm 5'8?! Then next to me is a 6foot 2" boy making every 3point shot.haha it was pretty funny and we made a game out of it, he would throw 3pointers and if he missed it i would go for the rebound (a.k.a. easy shot) and whoever reached 20 first one. the score was 16 to 20...the boy won. 

we got home it was 5 and i was getting sooooo hungry but we decided to get Chinese so i waited(munched on some animal crackers) I got the diet special -

steamed SCALLOPS and mixed veggies had probs 1/2 cup of the yummy white rice , some of the brown sauce

then went for seconds (on only veggies and some of that brown sauce)

ate a fortune cookie that said something like brooms find dirty dust...something very bizarre.

and had some dessert natural bryers ice cream with small banana it only has 5 ingredients for 130 half a cup! yummm

giveaway:mix my granola

And the summer storms begin

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY

So i had the worst sleep last night! i kept waking up and i almost decided to stay up but finally stayed asleep long enough till 9 i woke up to beautiful weather. sun was shining and birds chirping so i went to a TURBO KICKBOXING class! This class was defiantly intense and at the end of the class she told us that they are trying this for this gym and we could burn up to 1000 calories a class. WOW! So the teacher is bringing her heart rate monitor next class and see if she burns more then her usaly 500 cals a class. 

I'm pretty pumped, not that i need to lose weight at all! but i do model and want to become more toned and HEALTHY!  not stickily.

     Anyway I ate a banana before i left, i wasn't hungry but knew i would need a lil something. sorry for no picture i was taking pictures as i was driving. ekkkk i know not safe and the pics were very blurry.

 

After the class i went to WHOLE FOODS! i was very tempted to bring my camera inside to show you my whole foods but decided i will do that next time.  For lunch...

  

spinach, BBQ seiten, roasted red pepper,lil corn, back bean salsa, lil chickpea salad. and on the side a piece of naan, 2 plantains,2 tofu something and a faux chicken salad( which tasted just like real chicken salad i even tricked the boy!) 

all this for $10.45!!! 

FUN FACT 2:Whole foods is in the mall plaza as well as my gym...LA Fitness. needless to say i go to whole foods a lot

this was soooo yummy after this i tried( key word tried) to play zoey's new PS2 game star wars 3: revenge of the sith. TOTAL FAILER! haha he whopped my butt and i kept trying since i didn't want him to beat me. But sadly me+video games do not add up to anything. 

FUN FACT: When i was younger i was a TOTAL tomboy and dominated video games. I have no idea where all my skill went

remember how i said it was beautiful outside but the title clearly says storms well this is what me and zoe were driving towards/in

HOLY COW! but this is summer down in south Florida,haha either this or the inferno for us. Obvi its a win win.haha

back to foods here is my snack

 

banana,choco dusted almonds( sooooooooooooooooooo yumtastic) sprinkle of special k and a dash of milk.

Then I had dinner at Zoey's house his mom cooked up steak,potatoes,roasted corn, and garlic bread. Since i do not eat meat i had a lil of everything, not much of the bread but the crust. Zoe eats the bread and i eat his crust...its the best part!

after eating a mucho amount of crust i stepped away from the table and came to the computer to inform you all about my day!

Also today after i have been seeing deals on Costco i decided to go and see what i can find. Once me and zoe got there we found out they were closed due to memorial day! I was defiantly bummed. oh well life goes on...meaning i will be going tomorrow.

Hopefully i will be adding another post later tonight! and this week i am going to pimp this blog.
