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

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

San Fran be prepared!

The boy is gone for the week :( 

This is going to sound very lame, but we have never been apart for more then 2 days in the 14 months together. so it is weird but then again I'm leaving for college in a month so it is a little practice.haha

anyway yesterday was another band show i took pictures, but i gave zoe the camera to take a lot of pictures of San Fran. But of course i will still find a way to have food pictures don't you worry!

This morning consisted of making sure i packed enough munchies for the boys (all junk food of course they want nothing green for the road trip go figure) and then he was off 

brekkie:

fruit bowl 

• plum
• red grapes
• banana
• lil granola

I will prob be posting a lot this week! 

Trader Joes help!

SO i just found out that my Boy is going to SAN FRAN Saturday with the band Hey Monday.(his bff is in the band) By the way look up hey Monday's CD right now! Well he is going to San Fran with them for their acoustic tour and coming back the next Sunday or so. But i might tell him if he has time to stop by trader Joe's for stuff for me!haha 

QUESTION: 

What should i tell him to buy me that does not need to be refrigerated?? and jenny what are those Cinnamon rolls called?

long but good

Hey guys I feel so far from the blog community since i d not post as much as i want to let me explain/vent ...

Everyday i get on blogger to do a post but then

a band members GF/ (friend-plant) comes over and i HAVE to of course be nice and accommodate her. I just feel so awkward because i know she just talks about me when it is over and she does not talk to me unless it is gossip. I really don't know why i am posting my vent it just irritates me, because i love my "me" time where i can read blogs, write a blog, do yoga. I have learned to enjoy my company since all the girls in my city are drama fanatics, and have become more independent. 

These interruptions have shown me that i have changed since last year for the better. All you girls are the sweetest nicest girls i have ever "met" before. I love all the support you give each other so sorry for not commenting or such recently but i have been lurking your blogs and when i get the chance i plan on getting to know you all better. 

Thanks for letting me vent! haha now on the food....

Yoga

I have still been doing yoga almost everyday for at least 30min , mostly hour videos. I have a funny yoga story for your enjoyment

• I do yoga at Zoe's now while he has band practice, and one day I was doing a yogatoday.com video and he decides to set the mood for yoga and lights up a couple birthday candled on a Styrofoam plate. it was a cute/sweet idea but while i am in downward dog i smell the candles More powerfully and i look up and see a small fire on the plate! i blew it out but it was defiantly growing. After it was out i started laughing and cleaned up the little mess on the table. here is a pic of the poor Styrofoam plate

• Man o man if you have not tried yoga yet go to yogatoday.com and try their free yoga class now! they begging seems slow, but it is just to get you into a breathing pattern then it will move faster into poses and give you enough time to stretch and get stronger.
• Saturday i am going with my friend to a HOT yoga class which is exciting for me since i have never been.

FOOD:

 I have just been munching on fruit and whole wheat bread and smoothies recently since I do not want to buy my own groceries anymore since i do not have a job. But my eats have been very yummy to me, but not great to show everything in a food blog. 

But i have found a very yummy bread/bagel i like

Nutritional info: calories 240, fat 20. Fiber-7g! Protein 10g! sugar 7g. calcium/iron 10%. Thiamin/niacin 15%.

My review: def more bready then bagley if that makes since. But it it very yummy and made from all ingredients i know! I do not think these were fried at all since it does not have that harder/carby outside that regular bagels have. Overall you are prob better off buying whole wheat bread. But def worth it if buying on sale. I liked it and prob will buy it again if i get a bagel feeling.

This morning was a brekkie cookie made last night and heated for 30 sec this morn.

WOW heating it up a little makes  a HUGE difference! I thought they were already yummy but after microwaving it gets a gooey cookie texture bc if the peanut butter and oatmeal. FANTASTIC! 

• 1/3 cup Oats
• lil over 1/3 cup of a milk water mix
• sprinkle of splenda...sue me ;)
• less then a 1/4 of chopped dried fruit mix
• scoop of naturally more pb (sooo good in the cookie)
• 1/2 scoop of protein mix( i didn't want it too protein powder tasting)
• In the morn topped it with a sprinkle of granola
• side of jam

some melon on the side :)

Lunch will be a green monster since i just finished an hour of yoga. yumm got to get spinach now though. Dinner will be a bagel with tuna/egg/or something

Life:

Since zoe's friend is off tour for 2months we have been hanging with him a lot which is always fun. Last night we went to see G force in 3-D! (yes you read that correctly) It would of sucked if not in 3-D but it was awesome s=because of it. It actually looked like things were flying toward us. Pretty awesome and there was also car crashes and car stunts in a kid movie with gerbils talking? odd but funny.

But also since we are hanging out and out all the time now(not complaining about having things to do) I have to plan my meals more and that is why I already know what i am eating through out the day basically since i pack everything before i head over to zoes.  As long as i get my hour of yoga in i am a happy camper.

I hope all you girls are having a great summer! 

Question:

In th morning and during the day when i stand up i get dizzy/light headed and sometime it goes black for like ten seconds. it is not not ALL the time but def enough to notice.does this happen to you? why does this happen, how can i stop it?

short and yummy

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

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.)
