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

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.)

• Do you guys know the band HEY MONDAY? the rhythm guitarist is Zoey's best friend since elementary school. They had a show last night in ft lauderdale so we went to go see them. They did such an AWESOME job! It was so cool to watch them bc this has been all their dreams to be in a famous band, everyone was singing their songs, wanting their autographs, wanting to touch their arm! I could feel the energy so i just started dancing, haha the rest of my group didn't dance, but i LOVE dancing so me and zoe dance.

Alex is all the way on the left.

Off to buy and make a large salad and watch more of the office (seriously this show, big bang theory and friends are my absolute fav shows, and food network obv)

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
