Summer = Busy bee

Hey everyone hope everyone had a FANTASTIC weekend!

This weekend i went to warp tour which is scene/punk music (i like pop/rock music, not so much punk and hard core) but it was a lot of fun to see people mosh pit. It was actually hilarious! Then The Maine came on last and i danced like no one was watching. pretty awesome.haha.

Some eats?

Salmon wrap with spinach,salsa, motz cheese 

Most people have oats in their remainder of PB but i have a fruit bowl

• mango
• banana
• peach
• 1 strawberry

yummm

•  peanut butter English muffin
  
• pecan
• banana

• english muffin with Jam
• egg whites with a veggie patty

Pamper trick?

Has to included the blogs favorite food item, EVERYONE has!

Soothing and anti-inflammatory, oatmeal contains beta glucan, a soluble fiber that creates a thin, moisture-retaining film on the surface of the skin

. Place a handful of whole oats in a clean washcloth and use a rubber band to secure it. Next, immerse it in a sink full of warm water and squeeze the bag four or five times. Once the water is cloudy, splash it on your face and then air-dry. (If you must towel dry, pat as gently as possible.)

rambles and cramming

so i am just going to jump in to what you missed...

Sat

Zoey and his band "the minor" played at this bar call ( brace yourself for the name) swamp grass willy's. There was 4 bands playing and they went up first bc one band ran out of gas coming up to the show. I brought my camera and i seriously looked like a proud mom. i could not stop smiling bc they were doing so good, and he looked so happy to be up there. It was awesome. After the show we went over to one of the band member's house and partied till 3! i am never up that ate haha I'm usually a grandma, but i was having so much fun that i didnt listen to my tiredness.

My boy is on the drums.

Dont mind the people who rudly walked and stood in front of me. haha

Sunday was just getting ready for Mon and Tues orientation down in Miami. I had to wake up at 5AM i ate brekkie before i went

Green monster

• banana
• myoplex chocolate milk protein drink
• lots of spinach
• coconut
• couple dates
• lil whole food vanilla protein powder
• scoop of DCD pb

Once there i munched on a maple cliff bar.

REVIEW: it was ehhh got some sugared pecans but not much and the maple didn't really stick out for me, plus i was still grumbling after his...o well

Lunch was included in the orientation, i had an Einstein wrap, roasted veggie. It had mayo in it! I hate mayo, i really wish they would of told me what was in it o well i ate it bc dinner wasn't going to be for a long time

after a while i went into my stash and took out my next bar... macadamia and apricot fruit and nut bar. this is very good but expensive usually i bought one on sale.

Dinner was in the campus cafeteria, i was excited to see it bc that is what i will be eating while im on my stay. and thank goodness they are vegan/vegetarian options, they do not cook with trans oil, they have the nutritional info for food they make, a huge salad bar with veggies like baby corn! they have soups, and fro yo!!!!!! yummmm

I decided on a huge salad and a fruit cup.

Tues

picking out classes sucked! i spent a good 2-3 hours finding a good schedule. Man to have a nutrition degree it is A LOT of hard classes i was told that the hardest science classes i have to take to get the degree. If i find it too hard i also have a plan B which is personal relations to be an event planner. I think that would be a lot of fun to plan weddings and parties.

Brekkie

at the school was fruit,biscuit w honey and coffee.

QUESTION : What do you think about sororities? I hate ALL drama and i make sure i am not in any ever, but is that in sororities a lot? i didn't want to join one before orientation but after orientation they made it seem totally diff then i thought. were any of you girls in one? did you like it?

Also i may be doing a scholarship pageant called Ms.fiu. I'm am not sure but i would love to win a scholarship to get out of having this loan. yuck Talent i am not sure yet i have a few tricks up my sleeve. it is not until February but i want to do it for the heck of it! you know what i mean? this was i can make oodles of friends and get involved.

Today:

this morning i enjoyed a egg in the hole with a scoop of polenta my mom made last night. I loved the toast but the polenta was too heavy in my tummy. i have to remember that for next time.

Then i made lemonade magic bullet slushy. This was also not a good idea all that acid or what not in the lemon made my tummy feel bad. Does lemonade do that to you?

Lunch couldn't be something heavy since the lemonade was still with me.so i made a

green monster

• ice
• vanilla protein powder
• 3 dates
• lots of spinach
• Cinnamon (sooo good)
• peach
• 3/4 banana
• coconut for chew
• almond milk

along side i had myself a huge scoop of fluff, i needed something sweet and it def squished the craving.

Other food pics i found that i must have eaten recently...

I will get back to my regular tomorrow, cramming a lot in to one post does not do justice. I miss blogging

this may be done on the 5th or not....

Hey everyone

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.

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

Dessert

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.

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!

Eat me

IT'S FRIDAY!

Yesterday i went to a Cardinals and Marlin baseball game in Miami with my dad and sisters then went to Lincoln Road. So i did not have a chance for a post, sorry guys but look at this burger!

My dad grilled one vegan boca burger and on all American meatless boca burger. This tasted JUST like a hamburger! soooooo good and sooooo filling. You got to buy these! i always put two together bc one doesn't fill me up. (this was wed night)

Thursday!!!

Before leaving for Miami i had my savory oat bran.

• 2microwaved egg whites (no time to make runny yolk)
• lil cheese on top
• 1/3cup of water,almond milk, oat bran
• ground pepper
• franks red hot
• 1/3 cup corn

this is one of my fav meals for brekkie. Oat bran reminds me of grits but better for ya.

Then once at the game i started sweating like no other. It was an INFERNO. Everyone around me was dripping and had a lot of embarrassing sweat stains. thank goodness i was wearing a white top! i snacked on a lararbar

we left 7 inning it was an oven!

we left for Lincoln road and walked for 3 hours!!!

we stopped for lunch/dinner (4:30) at van dyke restaurant. I got this Ahi Tuna burger...it was COLOSSAL! I had the burger with on side of bun (these were the jumbo hamburger buns) w/ a side of veggies. I asked them very light on oil and no butter but they poured butter all over it yuckkkk. I tried taking oil off, it was to much work so i had a couple pieces of broccoli. That was all i had and i was full for the REST of the night!

but at 10 i felt like i needed to eat even though i was still not hungry so i managed to eat some chocolate apricots and some fruit.

plus a banana

Today:

I woke up and enjoyed this...

Hamburger bun (publix bakery...love doughy bread) half with barney butter/banana/coconut

and half with strawberry jelly

then Went to grocery shop. I was trying to make him get healthier foods but i had to force him to get grapes. haha he past right over the veggies and fruit and went straight to the processed chef boy-r-d. He does not like healthy food. Hey i tried!lol

After i made a hummus bread with potato bread/and banana peps.

And cherry/raspberry cake smoothie! I love the cake smoothies!

And tonight i am just got to enjoy my summer night with friends and boy <3
