"Brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things."

– the last lecture

i slept in today :] i love sleeping! anywho. i had major cravings for thai food. so i went on yelp to see where a good thai restaurant was around here. thai basil was the winner! i ordered chicken and tofu pad thai, yellow curry with chicken and brown rice and and a veggie spring roll. omg it was so amazing. i wanted to eat more but i was so stuffed! i also got thai iced tea which i know will kill my stomach later but its my favorite! [hello lactose intolerant]! i have a lot of left overs so this will be me yummy lunch again tomorrow!

i was pretty full from lunch and didn't eat a snack in between. instead i baked those red velvet cupcakes! i had a bite of the boyfriends. ill have to post pictures of them tomorrow. for dinner it was chicken stuffed with laughing cow cheese and topped with marinara sauce. for the sides we have some cut up strawberries and banana and steamed broccoli and cauliflower! i really need to start trying new veggies. the boyfriend just doesn't like anything but those two, oh and carrots.. lol he is such a stubborn eater.

so i have not been working out :\ no running or 30 day shred. i guess im just enjoying my spring break. lol. i think ill try and run tomorrow. i hate the feeling of being not being active. but im so lazy.. i need to get out of this funk lol

"do not with to be anyone else but who you are, and try to be that perfectly."

mmm breakfast was amazing. i had two banana waffles from trader joes. topped them of with some nutella and cut up strawberries and banana! i think its my favorite breakfast ever!

snack was whole wheat bread, some ham, and cut up gouda cheese. my cheese really didn't melt. i think instead of the toaster oven ill just stick it under the broiler.

i also had a cup of left over cheese stuffed tortellini and marinara sauce. again i spent the day in front of the tv watching NCIS and ellen. but i did go to target <3 favorite store ever. i saw some bedding that i may get when we move. i also hit up bed bath and beyond to pick up some mixing bowls and a sifter. either tonight or tomorrow night im going to bake some red velvet cupcakes!

for dinner we had chicken lettuce wraps. super easy:

2 cubed chicken breasts
1 teaspoons of olive oil or cooking spray
water chestnuts
snap peas [or/and any other veggies you want to add]
3 tablespoons of light soy sauce
3 tablespoons of light brown sugar
3/4 teaspoons of rice vinegar
a head of lettuce

1. dissolve the brown sugar in the soy sauce and rice vinegar

2. cook chicken in olive oil or spray pan with cooking spray

3. mix in the water chestnuts and snap peas until heated

4. then stir in the sauce

i still don't know how places get such perfect lettuce cups. mine always tear or never come out right.. lol

i ate an odwalla banana nut bar. i was too hungry and forgot to take a picture :/ oops

first day of spring break. woohoo! i slept in until 11am. i had a late lunch since i woke up late. i hate around 3pm. i first had a bowl of chicken tortilla soup bought from safeway. i prefer my homemade soup. it tastes way better.

i also chomped on leftover bbq chicken pizza from last night. i only ended up eating 2 and giving the boyfriend the last slice.

i really didnt do anything all day. i kinda just bummed it on the sofa and watched NCIS and ellen.. lol i love doing nothing. as a snack i had a half of a whole wheat pita with some trader joes hummus. also i had some grapes. i ate half then froze the other half and snacked on them before dinner :] frozen grapes are amazingly good!

for dinner it was just cheese stuffed tortellini and marinara sauce with some shredded parmesan and a crescent roll. im so excited to be getting a dining table next week! right now we have no dining table. we eat on one small tv tray since the other one broke.. lol

for lunch the boyfriend and headed to tempe marketplace. he was craving a chipotle burrito and i was craving a bacon lettuce and tomato plus mayo whole wheat sandwich from paradise bakery & cafe. it was sooo good!

i also bought 8 mini chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. i had 3 and the boy ate the rest. they were AMAZING!

after lunch we headed to ikea! favorite store ever! we were looking for some new stuff to add to our new apartment!

oops i slept in until 11pm. i headed over to pool to watch the boyfriend finish up his last game he was refereeing. then we walked over to extreme pita. i got a whole wheat pita stuffed with grilled chicken, lettuce, green bell pepper, cucumber, lettuce, and tzatziki sauce. it was very filling.

i spent the rest of the day going through the whole apartment, throwing out junk that has piled up. we have a walk through on monday. they want to make sure were not crazy people who destroy apartments.

i worked up quite an appetite. i didn't feel like cooking dinner again tonight. so we headed to san felipes cantina. they have the most delicious salsa ever which had chunky tomatoes, black beans and corn! i ate like half the chips.. lol

they also have some really good mahi mahi fish tacos! i cant believe i ate both tacos! but i enjoyed it. i didn't eat the black beans and rice though. they were icky.

breakfast: banana waffles from trader joes, with some nutella spread on top. along with a cut up banana and some strawberries. it was so good!!!

the boyfriend and i decided to go to a dodger spring training game. it took us an hour to find the stadium. it really only should have taken us 30 minutes! LOL but it was a beautiful day outside to watch some baseball :]

he wanted tacos, so i got tacos too. they ran out of pico de gallo and put cheese and sour cream on mine :\ it was really gross. i only ended up eating half of one and chucked the rest. $8 for dried out chicken tacos.

we then proceeded onto some nacho grande! i ate like 1/3 of this.

manny played! the dodgers won in the 9th. woohoo!!!

the boyfriend and i got a special invitation from our apartment complex to move into the lake tower suites! we signed the papers today and should be moving next weekend! were so excited. its twice as big as our current apartment. and instead of a loft its two stories! and its looks out onto tempe lake!

to celebrate we went to chillis bar & grill for dinner. i got the chicken fajita pita with the sauce on the side. it was yummy. but he forgot that i ordered broccoli instead of the fries. so i quickly scooped all the fries over to the boyfriends plate so i wouldn't be tempted.

here is my broccoli :]

now im going watch old i love lucy episode on dvd!!

"All it takes is all you got."
-- Marc Davis

i woke up early enough for breakfast today! i cut up a banana and topped it off with valencia peanut butter with roasted flaxseeds from trader joes. and some delicious strawberries and a plum! it was very filling and yummy! then off to first grade i went.

after being attacked by little monsters for a couple hours, a stopped by this massive whole foods. i picked up a salmon avocado roll with brown rice. also i picked up a couple of odwalla bars and yogurts.

woohoo!!! im now on spring break!!!! i took my chemistry mid term! i hope i get a good mark! i better. i have been studying and working my butt off in that class!

i found chobani yogurt! i got the vanilla flavored one. so i had it some some puffin peanut butter puffs and a cut up plum. i am not too crazy about the greek yogurt. the texture, the after taste and smell. i wanted to love it but i just don't :\ so i am off to look for a healthier yogurt.

i shredded it up again. i think im on day 6? i think tomorrow i will move onto level 2. tonight it was just too easy.

after my workout i made some dinner. salad with annies cucumber yogurt dressing. and then mahi mahi from trader joes [my favorite!] with some cut up bananas, kiwi, and plums. i just noticed i ate a lot of fruit today. 3 plums and 2 bananas. lol ooops!

i also ate a thin mint girl scout cookie and some simply orange juice with pom wonderful juice :]

im excited for tomorrow. the boyfriend and i are going to a dodgers spring training game! hopefully i dont pig out on bad food!

- Peter Maher, Irish-Canadian Olympian

i missed out on breakfast :\ i was in too much rush to get out the door and totally forgot to pick up a yummy bar. i was starving all morning! so after 1st grade i rushed home and the boyfriend and i walked over to jersey mikes subs. my guilty pleasure! you can see where i live in the upper right hand corner :] i got a mini #3 the american classic : whole wheat bread, ham, provolone. and had it done mikes way minus onions: lettuce, tomatoes, oil, vinegar, salt & pepper, and some oregano, plus a little mayo. i finished 3/4 of the sandwich. it was yummy but a couple hours later it didn't agree so well with my tummy :\ the rest of the day was spent laying out by the pool studying for my chemistry midterm tomorrow! it got up into the high 70s low 80s today! it was lovely.

after soaking it up in the sun i made myself a refreshing drink. simply orange juice mixed with some pom wonderful! it was absolutely delicious! and then a little later i went for a run at our apartments gym. now that its getting warmer outside, i am going to be stuck running inside. there is no way i can run in the 80s-100s. its too hot for me. luckily when i go home to california for the summer in a couple of months i can run on the beach :] i am excited for that! i also shredded it up with jillian. i am not getting as sore anymore. but i am still working up a good sweat!

after more studying i cooked dinner. tonight's entree was chicken parmesan. i dipped the chicken into an egg white with some cornstarch, then dipped it into focaccia bread crumbs. then i pan fried one side then flipped it over and stuck it in the oven for about 10 minutes. then added some natures own marinara sauce and some shredded mozzarella cheese. and then on the side we had some steamed carrots. a very easy and quick dinner.

after dinner the boyfriend wanted some mojo yogurt. he is addicted to making his own smoothies! if he had it his way would be going there every other day! i had to limit him to once a week. lol. my cup was filled with tart pomegranate planet and a little bit of their tart passion fruit bliss. and then some sliced strawberries and kiwis and pomegranate seeds. i think i got too much because half way through i was so stuffed. so i gave the rest to the boyfriend who devoured it.

now its time to do a little bit more studying for my final tomorrow. wish me luck!

“Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started.”

oh em jee. this banana nut odwalla bar is freakin amazing!! i was so sad when i finished it. i wanted more! it kept me satisfied until lunch. i will defiantly be getting this again. maybe check out the other flavors.

after first grade i came back home to have lunch before chemistry and my lab. i made a yummy wrap. inside the flat out was 2 egg whites, spinach, avocado, garlic & herb laughing cow cheese, and a splash of tiger hot sauce.

after what seemed like forever in the wonderful world of chemistry, i stopped by best buy. i was just originally just going to buy a new charger for my camera since mine has gone mia. but then i got there and saw a good price for the super upgraded of my old camera. my old one was from 2005! so i treated myself to a canon powershot sd790 IS. im so excited :]

my first picture was of my snack. vanilla yogurt and sliced kiwi. the yogurt was a little too sweet for me. im going to try and find a good/healthy yogurt. ~~i see a lot of bloggers snacking on chobani yogurt. im going to look where to buy these and try them out~~ sadly they dont sell them in the state of arizona :\ next time im in california ill try and look for some. i wonder what another good brand of yogurt is. maybe ill stop by whole foods tomorrow to see what they offer

the boyfriend cooked dinner again. we had trader joes mango sausage, with mango and papaya salsa on top. it was good. but im not a fan of sausage/hot dogs in general. and on the side were some steamed broccoli and cauliflower which are my favorite.

i didn't do any fitness today. tuesday and thursdays im just so tired from work & school. i need to change my bad habits. i also need to figure out my what is up with my sleeping schedule. i go to bed around midnight. but i do not fall asleep until 3. i just lay there and nothing happens :[ and i usually wake up around 7:15. hopefully i can figure out something. it sucks when im so tired in the middle of the day!

well.. with that said. im off to bed!!

2009-03-09T09:12:00.001-07:00

im not a fan of mondys :\

so i started off my morning with kashis creamy truly vanilla hot cereal. it was yummy. i also added some chopped up bananas. after i took the picture i mashed it up :] and then i was off to go tackle on little first graders!

afterwards i rushed home and went for my run. im starting on week 4 with the couch to 5k. and today was a pretty good run. im still kind of getting used to running outside by myself. im always scared somethings going to happen to me :\ im going to do some research on how to better prepare myself. im trying to figure out how to carry my iphone along with me. i worked out for 42 minutes and burned 392 calories. i need to go on mapmyrun.com to see how far i actually run.

when i got back from my run i made myself a yummy smoothie. i used mangolicious froze fruit from trader joes. its a blend of mangos, raspberries and blueberries. i also added a couple of fresh strawberries, some simply orange juice, a splash of light vanilla soy milk and a couple of ice cubes. easy and filling!

half way through my smoothie i made myself lunch. which was oh my good! i toasted a whole wheat pita, spread some trader joes hummus, added some honey ham, and cut up a small tomato. i kinda wished i used some of the avocado and spinach i totally forgot about.

a couple hours after lunch i did day 5 of the 30 day shred. as soon as i started i got a massive headache. as much as i wanted to quite i didn't. i sweated to the end burning 175 calories. the only thing killing me are those lateral raises and the modified push ups. lol. my upper body is so weak! hopefully this video helps strengthens me!

for dinner the boyfriend grilled some hamburgers. it was so big i only ended up eating half of it. on my whole wheat bun i added some hummus, spinach and tomato slices! and american cheese on the burger :] and on the side he cut up some kiwi and bananas.

well i got to do a little studying of the evil chemistry before i go to bed :] hope everyone had a good monday!

2009-03-08T21:10:00.003-07:00

i have to pictures today. they are stuck on the boyfriends camera which ran out of battery. and his charger went mia. now both of our chargers are gone. blah. today was a blur. i was needed to help at the tables for water polo. so i woke up at 7. had some peanut butter puffins with some cut up strawberries and light vanilla soy milk. someone brought cliff z bars for snacks. ive never had one so i quickly snatched two. i ate the brownie one which was delicious! the tournament finally ended at 5. and i was starving. i had no time to eat lunch :\ so i went to trader joes and safeway for groceries since we were empty. for tonight's dinner: flap meat marinated is yoshidas sauce, witch some brown rice, and sliced strawberries.

i also did the 30 day shred dvd. its getting easier! i had a little trouble when the cat and the ferret were thinking i was playing. i thought i was going to crush meeka while doing the jumping jacks.. lol i think next week ill try level 2 and see how it goes.

i leave you with a picture of the my little fur balls

this is bob & flounder. bobs is my baby and is so spoiled. he also thinks he owns my apartment AND my parents house.. lol. he brings joy to my life.

this is meeka the ferret. my boyfriend and i brought her into our lives when we moved to arizona. she is our little trouble maker. stealing pens, wallets, cell phones.. anything she can drag away. and she a handful. but i love her :]

2009-03-07T20:15:00.000-07:00

today was just a crazy day. the boyfriend is the captan and president of the water polo team so he is running this whole tournament. well people who were supposed to help out and run the shot clocks and do the stat sheets didnt show up. so thats where i come in. he called me asking for help. so i got up quickly and drove over to the pool. every hour since 10am to 10pm there was a 45 minute game. i spent 12 long hours in the cold with only a 5-10 minute break. the things i do for free for the boy that im in love with.. lol.

they provided some snacks. i tried brothers-all-natural crisps. the fruit is freeze dried! they were pretty good.i had a lot of these little snacks. lol. strawberry banana, asian pear, and fuji apple. i think you can buy them at costco and whole foods. im going to look for them next time im at those stores.

for lunch someone brought sandwiches from jersey mikes subs. i had the mini turkey and provolone mikes way [lettuce, tomatoes, vinegar, oil and spices. but no onions] it was tasty. i forgot to take a picture of it. i was so hungry i ate it as soon

as it was in front of me.. lol

the games finally end at 10pm. so the boyfriend and i quickly rush over to famous daves for dinner. we were STARVING. i ordered my favorite. bbq wings & buffalo wings :] along with corn on the cob, steak fries, baked beans and cornbread muffin . oh my gosh it was heaven on a plate. i only ate a couple of the fries and a bite of the baked beans. but polished off the rest. they have the BEST wings ever :]

i was kinda bummed i didn't get to run or do the 30 day shred. but after dinner it was already 11pm and i was dead tired.

2009-03-07T00:16:00.000-07:00

TGIF!!!!

friday = my free day. no first grade and no chemistry! loves it!! i got to sleep in and it was lovely. i woke up around 10ish to bob [my cat] meowing for food :] i guess he was hungry..lol. so i fed him and then made myself a tropical smoothie. i used mixed fruit [mangos, raspberries and blueberries] from trader joes, some simply orange orange juice, a little light vanilla soy milk and a couple of ice cubes. it turned out delicious! but i think i need a new blender. mine did not blend so well :\ i had to keep stopping and shoving all the ice and fruit to the bottom.

for lunch the boyfriend took me to ra sushi. its been awhile since i have been there and i was so excited to go! its not the best sushi i have ever had. but its the best out here in arizona. i started off with some miso soup.

then it was my favorite roll from there. the crazy monkey roll ^__^ looks amazing doesn't it! inside was smoked salmon, mango, and cream cheese, and topped with avocado, red tempura bits and cashews and drizzled with mango and eel sauce! i asked them to go easy on the cream cheese but they didn't :[ so i poked them out of some of the sushi.. lol but it was amazing.

after lunch the boyfriend and i headed to best buy to look at camera chargers. i lost mine and wanted to see how much a new one would cost at best buy. $40!! my camera was oldish so i didn't want to spend so much on a charger if i was going to buy a new camera soon. so i browsed at some of the cannons and sonys and decided to put off buying either and to do some research online. so in the meantime i get to use boyfriends cannon rebel xti and all his fun lenses!

it was getting late and i was getting hungry. but i knew tonight we would be having a late dinner since the boyfriend has a water polo game and he usually does not like to eat before the game. so i made myself a snack. a half of a whole wheat pita with trader joes hummus, cut up bananas and some grapes :] it would hold me over for a couple of hours until dinner.

before i went to the water polo game i did day two of the 30 day shred dvd. i almost didn't want to since i was so sore yesterday from running + the dvd. but i didn't want to slack off. it was not as bad as yesterday. i got the 3lb weights and my muscles seemed to loosen up a bit during the workout. but then after the workout i was stiff again. i think at the end the stretching should be longer. so i think tomorrow after the dvd ill do some of the free 20 minute yoga classes from www.yogadownload.com

so the boyfriend and his team lost their water polo game. but they played against navy and they are amazing. so after the game we came home and i baked some mahi mahi from trader joes and steamed some carrots. sadly we ate all the brown rice and all that was left was white rice. still good though. and those frozen mahi mahi from trader joes are amazing! i could seriously eat those everyday if i could! i forgot i had mango salsa from trader joes in the fridge. the mahi mahi tastes even better with some of that ontop!

i hope im not sore enough to go running tomorrow!! hope everyone had a good friday night :]

2009-03-05T23:47:00.000-07:00

my favorite way to start the day. banana nut cheerios with slices of bananas and vanilla soy milk ^__^ i LOVE anything flavored with banana. today Meghann posted this baked banana doughnut recipe which looks delicious! it would be two time more yummy with nutella spread on top! i plan on baking this either saturday or sunday!

so after first grade i came home and changed into my running outfit. its been a loooong time since i ran. thanksgiving to be exact! i decided to go slow and do a walk/run on the north side of tempe town lake. i wanted to do a loop and go around the lake. but they were doing construction and i didnt know how to get onto the bridge.. lol. on saturday im going to go the other direction and hopefully i will find my way. but overall it was a good run. afterwards i ate some lunch. i had some leftover stuffing from my bell peppers. so i heated that up and plopped an egg on top with a little but of tiger hot sauce.

about an hour before dinner i did day 1 of the 30 day shred. and O M G. was it hard. i only had 5lb weights and i think i need to go down to 3lb weights. i could barley get my arms up after the first circuit >__< so tomorrow i think i will stop by target. so overall i thought the dvd was good. i burned 214 calories. with this and the walking and running i did earlier im bound to be uber sore tomorrow! so for dinner we had another one of the boyfriends favorite. chicken caesar pitas. and of course its super easy. i have a whole wheat pita half, some trader joes hummus, caesar salad, and pieces of rotiserary chicken you buy at the market! it was filling. i had two halves.

doesn't this look good!? its a trader joes chocolate lava cake and ben & jerrys vanilla ice cream. the boyfriend and i split. all you do is pop this baby in the oven for 15 minutes and out comes this chocolate gooey piece of love ;] and of course you need a side of ice cream!!

2009-03-04T18:11:00.000-07:00

today started out bad. for some reason my phone alarm did not go off. so i got ready at superman speed, heated up some breakfast and dashed out the door to 1st grade. thankfully i was not late for that:] but of course i did have time to take some pictures!

this is a filipino pastry called ensaymada. its topped with some butter, then some grated cheese, and then sugar :] best when warmed up. i haven't had these since i was younger. but i found a red ribbon bakery in the outlets that opened up so i bought one. it was so yummy.

washed it down with some light vanilla soy milk in my 2008 new years cup. we had a toga party! and the boyfriends mom had these made as souvenirs! how cool is that!

lunch was a left over bell pepper from the other night. i sprinkled some tiger hot sauce over it and it was tasty! after lunch i went to target and picked up the jillian michaels 30 days shred dvd. ive been wanting to get it for awhile since i have been hearing some many raving reviews. so im going to join caitlin in the 30 day challenge! tomorrow will be day one for me :]

for snack was some grapes i picked up from trader joes. i froze the other half! so wednesday nights are my LOST nights. favorite show ever! since i missed last weeks episode, i waited to watch the replay tonight before the new episode. but omg abc went blank. they were having problems for just that channel. ok. ill just watch it on the computer and hopefully it will work again when the new show is on. 8pm rolls around. still blank. 8:15 still blank. i hate you abc. 8:25 it turns on!! but i missed the first half. and didn't want to watch the rest of the show. how lame is that. i bet a lot of people in the area were pissed.. lol

for dinner i made the boyfriend chicken and cheese enchiladas. i made a little twist one mine. kind of like a mexican pizza. i have a whole wheat tortilla in the bottom. then i have some shredded chicken, black beans, and corn in the middle. topped it off with another whole wheat tortilla, some enchilada sauce and cheddar cheese. and it turned out pretty good. i think next time tho ill leave off the top tortilla.

2009-03-03T23:45:00.000-07:00

it was overcast today. but still warm outside. i am loving this weather. i can finally wear spring dresses, shorts, and skirts! it makes me want to start running/working out again.. outside too! i am just to lazy and never have the motivation. but that changed today. i looked up some 5ks that are in a month and i have set a gaol. i did it back in november when i ran my first 5k on thanksgiving. i am sure i can do it again! but this time i want to keep up with it and not stop after i reached my goal. after a 5k i want to be able to do a 10k. and after a 10k i want to be able to do a half marathon. and hopefully after that i can one day do a marathon.. lol. im excited :]

breakfast was a bowl of banana nut cheerios with some cut up bananas and light vanilla soy milk. i think tomorrow i am going to try oatmeal. one of my friends keeps on raving about them i must try them now! i think im going to add mashed bananas and a few chocolate chips to mine!

after first grade i stopped by the grocery store to pick up some ingredients to make stuffed bell peppers. my mom was telling me about them a couple of nights ago and it sounded good. i have just recently became a bell pepper fan. so its nice to try it different recipes. mine was stuffed with brown rice, ground turkey, corn, black beans, some salsa and cheddar cheese! and oh man was it satisfying! i would have eaten more if i wasn't so stuffed. sorry for the bad picture. again my food photo skills suck. hopefully they will improve.

for dinner i steamed some carrots and chopped up some strawberries to go along with the lemon pepper chicken. its one of the boyfriends favorites. as you can see were lacking a bit in the veggie department. were both not a huge veggie fan. but im slowly trying to add more to my diet.

after dinner josh was craving some mojo yogurt. he wanted to try another smoothie. this time he tried mojo oj, which stated like orange sherbet, and fresh strawberries. it actually tasted good. they had a new flavor i have never tried before. tart passion fruit bliss. it was very sweet. but maybe a little to sweet for me. but they ran out of it anyways. so i just stuck with the original tart. and luckily i got the last of it before they ran out :] i topped mine off with some fresh strawberries and kiwis! it was a yummy way to end the night!

2009-03-02T23:15:00.000-07:00

i need to learn how to take better pictures of food. my pictures turn out yucky. i also need better lighting. hoepfully when joshs mom comes out she can get us a new lamp :]

i woke up late this morning. im lucky i had time a bowl of banana nut cheerios, light vanilla soy milk and fresh strawberries, for breakfast. next trip to the grocery store im going to pick up this peanut butter puffin cereal i keep seeing. looks yummy. well i booked out after breakfast and made it to first grade on time :] thank goodness im only there for 4 hours. after this semester, no more teacher assisting for me. its just not meant for me.

after work i rushed home to make lunch. before my couple hours of chemistry + lab. i whipped up and odd combination of a wrap. its an italian & herb flat out, a can of chicken of the sea tuna, a hard boiled egg, a little bit of miracle whip, mashed avocado, and a bit of chunky salsa. sounds gross all together but i promise you its good! i also got a chance to go over a couple of chapters that we were reviewing today.

it was the boyfriends turn to make dinner tonight since im usually pooped out on modays. he made some yummy shrimp scampi with a crescent roll. the shrimp was delicious. but the pasta was lacking a little taste.

hope everyone had a good monday :]

2009-03-01T12:45:00.000-07:00

happy march! today was such a lazy, lazy day. josh and i slept in until 3pm o_O! we had a very late night last night and didnt get to bed until 5.. oops.. lol. so we rolled out of bed slowly and headed downstairs to watch the rest of the laker and suns basketball game. the suns won! woohoo!!

for a very late lunch i had this lovely creation! i used a multigrain english muffin, 3 egg whites, 1/2 of an avocado, a veggie slice of pepper jack cheese, and a morningstar pizza & basil veggie burger. it was so yummy and so filling i couldn't even finish it all!

the rest of the say was spent cleaning the bathroom and going to trader joes to pick up a few goodies. i picked up some of the frozen mahi mahi my friend has been raving about. they look delicious and i cant wait to cooke them! right now josh and i are really into watching ncis. so we spent the rest of the night catching up on past episodes.

for dinner it was something simple. a 4oz organic chicken from trader joes stuffed with 1 wedge of laughing cow garlic & herb cheese with some pasta sauce on top and a side of broccoli and cauliflower :] it really wasnt as filling as i wanted it to be. i need to start thinking of more sides to add to my dinners. i also think i needed a bigger chicken.. lol

after dinner we both were craving for something sweet. so we made a mojo yogurt run! defiantly better than yogurtini. but it still doest beat pinkberry. i got the tart pomegranate planet, with pomegranate seeds, strawberries and strawberry mochi :] with was so yummy! josh wanted to try the create a smoothie. so in his he had strawberries, raspberries and vanilla. it was yummy as well!

well its late and i must get up early tomorrow :]
