T-Rex was supposed to be extinct for a reason

Hello everyone!

Sorry i did not post yesterday, i went up to Orlando at 12 and did not get back till almost 2 in the morning! ekkk needless to say i went straight to bed. I went up to orlando with my dad and two sisters(both younger)

(this is grace)

 to see my dads brothers (who look like sets of twins). It was funny they all are very loud, its a gene i guess that runs in the family, and they all talk to random bartenders,waitresses, random people on the Disney shuttle train. Again something i found that runs in the hoskens gene.

brekkie that morning + 35min of yoga with the little one you in above

i had this amazing bowl of oatmeal/oat bran(ran out of oat bran!!!!)

• 1/3 cup of what i had left of oat bran and oatmeal to top it off
• 2/3 almond milk, 1/3 water
• 5 m&m for the fun of it
• 3 chopped dates
• 5 dried cherries 
• spoonful of choco chip cookie dough PB
• lil bit of DCD PB 

Right before we left i made an 

Anti oxidant drink

• Borba Pink clarifying packet(met this guy once at my dads store and he hooked me up) 
• handful of blueberries
• Sprinkle of coconut
• handful of ice
• cup and 1/2 of water

Along the way i had a cup of kashi 7grain cereal,peach,handful of blueberries

Lunchish: crab cake and some Asian noodles- it was a n appetizer for a snack before we went to eat (this was at 4)

 

 We went to TREX restaurant at downtown Disney. 

facts about this place

• Very cool decor dinos that move all around you, it looks like you are in Jurassic park (this may be the only plus side i had for them)
• 
  
• Everything has at least one of the following; a pound of meat, fried, load of butter
• VERY expensive at least 20 dollars if you are getting a salad(no meat) and drink 
• not that great of food unless you like fried and butter
• VERY crowded- got there at 6:30 didn't eat till 9:30! haha o man 

Now what did i eat?

I devoured the french onion soup and i did ask for a side of steamed veggies but got over cooked veggies IN a cup of butter. The waitress told me they couldn't make them special??? I was def a grumpy girl, when i am hungry and there is no options for me i will get emotional.

OK no fast forward.........bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzIP (fast forward noise obviously) 

TODAY

Woke up late so i had this veggie pocket with a piece of RAW cheddar cheese and a spoon of cottage cheese , I Also 2 dates with a lil of PB for the heck of it.

Review: This was pretty good it had bell pepper,broccoli, beans, marinara sauce and some other veggies. I enjoyed this a lot the inside was like a micro cal zone but the bread was amazing! i love gooey, doughy, soggyish pizza dough so i took ALL the inside out and ate the veggies then the bread as my dessert.haha

I went over to zoes to hang out but got a call from FIU saying i didn't accept my scholarships!!! what the heck, so after a couple hours of my heart at my stomach and freakishly typing emails i got it all fixed!! yayay. My hunger was gone after that,I found out when i stress out i just do not eat because i am not hungry when I'm stressed. I had to go to the mall(near whole foods of course) and so i picked up an energy bar for my orientation on mon and tues, and got some "tasters" at whole foods

• a fig
• taste of this tonic stuff(blarggg)
• Tofu honey sesame stick

Once i got back o zoeys i made this....dun dun da dun da( some tune for an excited suspense)

GREEN MONSTER!!!!

• 2 HUGE handful of spinach
• 1 kiwi
• 1/2 peach
• 2 blocks of honey dew
• 1/3 of banana
• 1 scoop of protein powder(whole foods vanilla brand)
• 2  chopped dates for chew
• lil spoon of naturally more pb

This was amazing i decided i ADORE my fruit smoothies, so i do not need to get rid of them i just need to add spinach and that is what i did. I could not taste any spinach at all!

Now off to hang with the boy, ta ta for now

Giveaway: nikes and ponytails

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.

time to stop being lazy!

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.

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
