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

AN apple a day

shopaholic addict

Happy Tuesday!

Yesterday morn-afternoon was just me,myself,and I. I watched confessions of a shopaholic, and let me tell you that is one of my fav movies now! i do not know why but i was laughing out loud through out the movie. Go rent this if you like girly movie now! I felt so good and relaxed after me time. After pampering i hung out wit the boy and just chilled like usual, i got him to do a couple min of yoga and then he went to play drums,haha it isn't his cup of tea. so i just did an extra 20min that day and felt even better. then watched bachelorette  and here comes the newlyweds(love this, and my fav couple won so is going to the finally). Sorry for the lack of food pics it was pamper day! next time ill make sure to post pics.

I got a lot of comments saying how they have not pampered themselves in forever, which is the same for me. I can not remember the last time i did this...8th/9TH grade maybe! that is like 4 years ago! i guess i have just gotten all caught up in everybody else and making sure i everyone was having fun around me, but i think EVERYONE needs to pamper themselves. You might be thinking o no that is too expensive, or i have no time for that silliness. Although it is the complete opposite! just look around your house and I'm sure you have at least one item that you can pamper yourself with and everyone has enough time to chill out and paint toenails, how much time are you on the computer(I'm always am on it when i got nada to do!) or watching tv? paint your nails, give yourself a mask face and/or hair.  You will feel a lot better about yourself and when you feel good about yourself everyone around you will feel better. Happiness is contagious.

What do you girls think about every Monday i do a pamper me Monday, where i show how to pamper yourself for free or at least very cheaply? 

Anyway back to today!!

This morning I did the yoga video from yogatoday.com turning fear in to self confidence. It is still hard but i did better today and did the whole video...well except the head stand, instead i did diff back bends to try to get deeper into those poses. I was SWEATING and very attractive. ;) but i felt so good after and proceeded to enjoy...

Oat Bran

• 1/3 cup oat bran
• 1/2 almond milk, 1/2 water
• some dried cherries cooked in
• 3 dried dates chopped, cooked in
• a sprinkle of coconut
• lil spoonfuls of jiff natural, WCW, Choco chip cookie dough p, strawberry jam( wanted some pb and j action)

AMAZING once again i love oat bran, i used to ONLY like spicy/savory oats but wanted pb so i just added pb instead. Whatever my taste buds want i go for.

The cherries plumped up when cooked 

Now i am munching on a fruit bowl and hot tea

• mango
• 2 kiwi
• sprinkle of dried cherries (I'm addicted i love them they are soo tart and squishy)
• a handful of blueberries

Oh yes that's a yummy bowl

Now I'm just going to watch shopaholic again, because I'm addicted and start my lil craft.

Pamper me monday!

TODAY IS PAMPER ME MONDAY

SO i used to everyweek have a pamper me day. this is where i pamper myself and relax. I used to do all natural treatments and every week i plan on doing a new DIY spa treatment. today i am sticking with the basics using grocery store finds

• Yoga for an hour- i did one of the classs i bought from yogatoday.com it is the strength and tone class, which runs for abou 62min. this class was awesome, a lot of different back bend and hopping to switch legs,planks and such. I was a lot of fun and challanging but at the same time flowing with your breath.
• Hair mask using john freda hair shine
• exfoliate skin in a hot shower- this mimicks a steam when standing away from water
• Mask on my face- nothing special just one i found in my bathroom
• painted my fingers and toes a shiny pink
• moisturize my whole body with a lotion for dry skin so my body can become softer.

I havent pampered myself in such a long time this day is a selfish day, usally i feel bad about being selfish (i am all about making around me come first) but i def needed this. Next week i will be useing natural ingredient like coconut butter, or oils or something all natural not useing these chemical products. 

For the rest of the day i am going to watch girly movies, im thinking confessions of a shopaholic and devil wears prada. I love girly movies they really make me in a much better mood.

Food this morning brekkie i had blueberry oat bran, there is no picture, it was really yucky looking but yummy. 

What do you do to pamper yourself?

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

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.

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.

Simple and yummy

Giveaway: the healthy lawyer 

My camera is charging right now so i do not have dinner and dessert pics

Dinner was mom made polenta and sauerkraut, polenta is sooo yummy 

Dessert was a sundae kind of thing-

• spoon of choco ice cream
• spoon of vanilla ice cream 
• 1/2 TBSP DCD peanut butter
• 1/2 TBSP WCW peanut butter
• tsp of choco chip dough peanut butter
• 4 roasted marsh mellow

Just what i wanted! i wish i could of taken a pic but i know i will be eating this again!

This morning i did yoga 30 min of a core/balance yoga it was for yogi level def not my level so i stopped half way though but i did all of it until i couldn't do anymore, I feel good about doing 30min and i got really stretched out and energized. Then i did the day one of summer glow i am so excited to see if i get all toned by the end of the month or just see if i feel any different.

Brekkie

I could not decide if i wanted PBU,peanut butter,bread, oatmeal but then i felt like eating something savory so i had 

• 1/2 cup of polenta
• about 1/4 cup of some veggies in a sauce my mom made

Very yummy, and just what i wanted. I thought i was still hungry but i had a cup of coffee and was satisfied.

QUESTION: does anyone else feel like they are still hungry when they actually had enough food? i guess i wasn't full like i am when i have oatmeal or oat bran.

Well I'm off to go do some crafts with magazines while the boy has band practice

Have a great day!!
