Knock over...

Ahh what a morning!

Ofcourse, my friend Nina is a champ and calls me every mornign to wake me up for work ( I love her for that... because otherwise I'd be showing up to work, atleast an hour late!) But this morning I guess half of my covers were down on the floor, and after I got off the phone with her I was getting ready to ge tout of bed, swung my covers and down goes everything on my nightstand (may I mind you it's 5:45 a.m.). My 2 alarm clocks (yes I have 2 alarm clock and 3 on my phone and I still need people to call me to make sure I'm up) mypicture frame, my lamp and oohhh....my glass of water!!! yupp all down, I was waiting for my dad to run in to se what happened, but I think everyone was knocked out; or I hope. Anywho I got out of bed got ready and tried to get to work on time, but I ended up being 15 minutes late, but that's what I get when my closet is a mess and I don't know what to wear and for not preparing my lunch last night.
Today's going to be a long day, not only with the time kind of moving slow this morning, but I have class tonight after work, from 6-8:45, but I am also heading to the gym for a quick and good workout! see I'm determined, oh and because I forgot to give my trainer the muffins and pumpkin bread I had left over from yesterday. Yes I am trying to fatten him up, but he is also trying to gain weight, kind of sucks sometimes, but it's nice because instead of me going for a cookie, I grab one if I want it and pack it up on the side and just give it to him... haha that's the trick I came up with, however, that trick didn't work so much last week!!!

Let's get down to business because I have some stuff piling on my desk to do today. So for breakfast I had an Aunt Millie's Whole Grain EM with 1/2 tbsp of Krema Natural PB on one side and 1/2 tbsp of Meijer brand 3 berry Light preserves on the other half. I sliced up my small banana and piled as much as I can on my PB side. I also had 1/2 cup of low fat cottage cheese (to pair with my preserves) and I had 2 cups of coffee with 1.5 tbsp of hazelnut fat free creamer. That's all the coffee I have to last me until after work (or maybe I'll run out during lunch to Dunkin Donuts), we will see. I finished about 1/3 of my small banana with my coffee, since I couldn't fit it all on my EM. It should be a productive Tuesday, I hope you all have a fantabulous morning, and afternoon, and I will catch up with you guys later.

p.s. I know I promised recipes, hopefully tonight or maybe tomorr w(since I don't have class) I can post the articles and the pictures and recipes up for you guys) sorry for the delay, but thanks for being such great champs.

3rd time's the charm?!

Good morning!!!

It's quite the cold and dreary day this morning, but I hope all of you are doing well after the weekend, and are looking forward to this week being a good one!! Can you believe it's already the last week of January.. (YIKES!!!)

Anywho, I'm back and I'm hoping 3rd time is the charm here!! It's been a rough couple of weeks here, with the cold, with work, with school starting up again and me trying something new out. I promise though I think I have everything figured out and set up and I think I will be more participant with this blog!!!! I hope. I have been baking tons, and I wish I took pictures, but I'll post up some recipes that I found from various bloggers and from various websites, and made them according to this 30 day challlenge I'm doing.

It looks like a busy bee monday for me this morning, so I will quickly post up my breakfast and try to sneak in some articles throughout the day that I have been looking over and been meaning to post up.

Breakfast was a yummy Egg (sunny side down) with tomatoes and green onion. I also had an Aunt Millie's Whole Graiin english muffin with 1/2 tbsp of Krema PB (yes I know about the salmonella outbreak, however my favorite all natural PB was re-called...see there is a reason why we should all eat organic natural foods, and not all organic foods are expensive, this PB only costs me $1.99!!!) with a small banana; and on the other half of the EM I had 1 tsp Light Butter with Canola Oil and 1/2 tbsp of 3 berry Light preserves (Meijer brand).
Ofcourse my day wouldn't start without my classic cup of joe, except this time I put in 1 tbsp of fat free hazelnut creamer (for 2 cups of coffee), and my friend is so generous she brought me in coffee as well (from home) so I will be loaded up on caffeine today, and maybe that will help curb my appetite for a little bit today. I have been binging on way too musch food in the last week that I need to shrink my appetite and decrease the amount of food I consume so I can get back on track and lose the weight I want and more, and fit back into the pants I just bought 3 months ago...size 6!!!! Besides I don't feel very healthy lately so I'm pumped about going to the gym tonight after work!

Oh right plus my friend Karen celebrates the Chinese New Year so she dropped off a Ghiradelli Espresso Escape 60% Cacao square on my desk (YUMM-O) and some cute little crackers, I'm sure I'll munch on the crackers throughout the day, I've been craving salty foods lately and I think it's from all the baking I've been doing and all the taste testing of the baked goods, that has my stomach rebelling against me know and not really allowing me to have an appetite :o(

Anyways, I hope you all have a good morning/afternoon on this last Monday of the month, and I will check back in later will more updates and interesting facts!

PB=my love!

Good morning Sunshine's!

It's a chilly January Tuesday morning, and I think I woke up on the right side of the bed this morning. Of course, I still don't want to be at work, but I'm doing GREAT! It's going to an easy and quiet day at work, so I'm a little happy.
I'm thrilled to say that my friend Ria will be joining me at the gym today, finally a partner to workout with!!

For breakfast this morning I had Egg White Omelet, which consisted of 6 Tbsp. liquid egg whites, tomatoes layered inside (once the egg is almost done I layer the tomatoes and set the heat on low and fold in half.) I topped the omelet off with about a Tbsp of fat free Medi. feta. I had a couple slices of tomatoes on the side with some green onion. If you notice I tend to only eat tomatoes when I eat eggs. I'm not a big fan of tomatoes unless it's on pizza, on a sandwich or with my eggs; don't ask why, but it is how it is. I do, however, eat cherry tomatoes with my salad... again I don't know why, it's weird. Oh and no I'm not a big tomato soup person unless it had bits of chicken in it and noodles!!
Back to my breakfast, I also had a slice of Healthy Life Whole Wheat toast with 1/2 Tbsp. organic PB ( I use Krema, it's cheap andnatural!! all it contains is Peanuts) :o)http://http://www.krema.com/prodinfo.asp?number=PBCRE1
I also had 1/2 tbsp of the light 3 berry preserves and a medium banana on top. Of course a cup of Joe makes the day 10 times better for me, so I had 2 cups with 1/3 cup of fat free milk and 1 splenda! My friend Nina brought in some coffee for me as well so I will try and drink that Black, but we will see.

I know I really don't have much variety day to day with my breakfast, however, I can't eat oatmeal after spending about 3 months eating it. I will try to find or make up a new recipe to make it bare-able. I also have a tendency to eat a little salty and sweet foods for the morning, I'm not to big of a fan of sweet foods first thing in the morning!! I know shocker. PB always completes me, it's the right balance and it's just oh so YUMM-O with a banana. Hopefully tonight I'll be creative and make some pancakes or think up of something new for breakfast.

Alright time to get back to work. I hope you all have a wonderful morning, and I will be on later to post up some snacks and lunch along with some articles I have saved up and have been wanting to post.
