thinking

Im sitting here thinking of what to write. I see all these amazing blogs that teach me so much and share their interests in many things. I want to share fun yummy eats but i also want to share my creative/girlie side so i guess get ready for a shmorgishnorg of girlie yummy foods and pretty things and who knows?! I'm excited i hope you are too!

Zoey came home which is another reason for the MIA, I'm so happy he is back, now i am moving in 12days! ekkkkkk scary.

Food:

I have been in a funk the past couple days. I am not eating the way i like and munching out on to many not so good for me foods. Its all ok but i just miss all my healthy healthy eats.

But a day or so ago i made the best salad yet!

Best salad yet

• roasted  brussel sprots
• roasted tomato
• roasted onion
  
• steamed broccolli
• 1/2 smushed avacado
• salt/pepper/balsamic vinager

Today's brekkie was PERFECT

• coffee
• banana
• red ORGANIC grapes
• 2 hard boiled egg whites (the yolk is too weird a texture for me)
• lil over a 1/4 of avacado

snack: fresh seedy roll from a farmers market

Sad news: zoey lost my USB cord (im not mad) so i will still be taking mac pictures, but i will try to figure out how to use my phone to take pics that are not at home. sorry.

Its my dads bday so im off to have a family dinner, ill be back tomorrow!

2nd post in the same day?

Yes it is and ba da da da da im lovin it!

(Mac Donalds tunes on a health blog...who is this girl?!)

• roasted Brussels sprouts ( a new love) recipe below.

Snack (no pic) 

a lil piece of fresh panera bread i got fo free. (i got connections haha)

some Jif natural and banana

Roasted Brussel sprouts 

 (its EZPZ)

(not my pic but exactly how they looked)

1. trim gross looking ends(not to much you don't want it all to fall apart)
2. preheat oven to 325*f
3. cut in half, and put in a bowl
4. lightly pour in olive oil (just enough to lightly coat the sprouts)
5. add salt,pepper,balsamic vinegar for taste
6. coat baking sheet with oil (pam works perfectly!)
7. place sprouts flat side down cook for 15 min
8. flip and cook for 10 more min
9. ENJOY

Me airbrushed!

If you want a good laugh, i am in the uniform advantage catalog and look a good 15 years older with bright red lipstick/barbie looks body( can you say airbrush) find me I'm thorough out the magazine.

Why would i embarrass myself(actually i find humor in it)? 

to show you girls how much air bushing is done in the real world! and this is just a small Uniform company if I am this airbrushed that means all these models are airbrush as much and what does that say about magazines? so if you are on of those girls who compares them self to models ( i know i do from time to time) STOP! they models have just as much/quite possibly more insecurities too.I know that is hard to believe but trust me. Models have the difficult task to show their body to (usually heavier then themselves) people and those people will tell them they are too fat/ugly or whatever. Then the model who is gorgeous doesn't see that! It's crazy but i have seen girls in my agency come crying to the casting people saying how they are not beautiful! 

rewind to the main purpose of this ramble, everyone has insecurities so instead of trying to shed those "pesky" pounds embrace your body and feed it whole,yummy foods when your hungry. and if you are craving a chocolate cake like no other buy a great piece of chocolate cake and savor each yummy bite. You only live once so make your life the happiest,yummiest,no regrets life possible.

watch this 

 

But seriously check out the airbrushing, my hair is even blonder! haha

Follow me on twitter!!!

also if you have a twitter tell me i want to chat it up with all you awesome girls!

Alright girls I'm off to get my zen on.

peace out girl scouts

It was awesome! a lot of vinyasas which i did all the way through! i was finally able to do chaturanga to updog to down dog and i did a crow...for one breathe but i still was able to hold myself up! i was elated. especially since the boys were having band practice it was harder to stay focused 
• did a jumping routine,triceps,plank workout (for the SGBC)

Brunch 

Avacado/mango/raw corn salad

I was all raw! haha it was very yummy and made me feel very good and gave me a lot of energy.  I always forget that the simple, whole foods always make me feel amazing! And my house is now over loaded with produce and yummy healthy foods. I didnt know what i wanted it took a while to decided

Brekkie:

GOALS FOR JULY:

1. start trying green smoothies
2. stop mindless snacking
3. no more diet cola, try for water and green tea(which i am sipping on right now)
4. No grocery shopping, the reason is i want to be able to splurge when i go to college so i can have plenty snacks and food options to stay healthy.
5. Summer glow bikini camp
6. of course at least 30min of yoga a day, i really like this goal! :)
7. HAVE FUN

Giveaways:

nutritious is delicious

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!

camera cord back in action

Happy Monday! 

I did not post yesterday because i went on a day trip with the boy and his mom to islamorda, fl to pick up a boat! and we went jet skiing/snorkeling. I couldn't bring my camera since i didn't want to lose it but this was an awesome trip! I swam with...

so i ate

2 small pancakes (PB & J style), choco/half banana protein smoothie w/coconut

i tried Green smoothie but i think i did something wrong because it was not good at all and i was very sad about this , im sure i will try again tomorrow probs

then i went over to zoes who's car wouldn't start and his sister needed a ride to take her high school exams! in my book education is very important, so i took her while zoe finally started up his car to get the much needed gas.haha

We cleaned the boat which kindda looked like it belonged in the trash but after 2 hours of scrubbing it down like mad people it looks sooo pretty! i can not wait to bring it out.

lunch was a salad

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.
