steam it up. schweat it out!

good mawnin beauts!

first of all it seems that a lot of you have secret cartoon crushes on dimitri ;) love it.

…he does seem like a good kisser… gross julie.

second of all i’ve been very happy with things that have occured over the past 16-18 hours including my stride gum purchase yesterday that included an extra pack in the normal three pack. for the same price. the other things i’ll wait to share until i’m sure they’re going down.

don’t you just love it, slash find it odd, when things kind of all unfold around the same time. i guess what they say is true. timing is errrrrrythang.

alas life is gooood. (jinx knock on wood.)

there’s no third of all..

other things that have been good? well i’m happy to say i finally switched up lunch yesterday..

kind of.

okay fine. not really. but. i used 1/2c of black beans in my cottage cheese along with a healthy dose of salsa & some kernel seasons cajun & jalapeño seasonings. so it gave it a little spic-ay kick. just how i like it. i threw in 1 slice of chopped turkey breast and then assembled the rest of the snack plate like so. easy peezy.

hate to love to say i won’t be changing that at all today.

…if i don’t change my eats ever then what do i have to offer you people!?

if you want i’ll share some of my overly large genetically processed delicious tasting apple..

and i shall call her marge. because she’s large and in charge.

don’t ask where in the double h hockey sticks that came from..

after my snicky snack jen and i hit up walmart to replenish my gum stash and then we headed over to borders in search of boys books.

…clearly i went to the children’s section and she headed over the young adult or the “much more mature then her 23 year old sister” section.

cheap books for a cheap date, we hit up dunkin on our way home and had sissy plans of a friday night lights marathon while i munched on some byos (bring your own snack) pack of almonds

we assumed the friday night lights marathon positions and killed a few episodes before my stomach started to speak to me.

you speak. i listen. that’s the name of the game.

into the pan went: large and in charge handful of broccoli slaw, mushrooms, onions, green peppers sauteed up. added in 1/2c homemade red sauce. sauteed veggies in sauce. added in: 3/4c egg beaters and scrambled it all up. threw in some garlic & onion powder. and topped it off with a chopped up laughing cow wedge.

italian style egg scramble? you know it. along side a side salad it was magnifique!

almost like being in italy. almost.

let the celebration begin.

due to the national holiday (in which i think everyone should have had the day off) i whipped out the big boys.

red gourmet popcorn?! i’ll take it. turned that into this.

after this biggest loser watched the biggest loser this old lady got to bed.

woke up this morning and got my groove on for 6am spin.

6am spin was a schweaty schweaty schweaty mess today. we even steamed the room out! so with that being said at 5 minutes to 7 i had my endorphins poppin like last nights popcorn. the instructor even did 5 minutes of abs after the class for anyone who wanted in. i’ll take it!

shoulders + abs. yes i switched it up today.

• lateral raise machine 4 sets 12 (27.5lbs)
• assisted chin up machine 4 sets 12 (85lb assist)
• front raises 4 sets 15 (5lbs each hand) alternating with bicycles 4 sets 25
• shoulder press & twist 4 sets 12 (12lb free weights) alternating with weighted side crunches 4 sets 15 each side (15lb free weights)

was a faboosh workout.

even more faboosh? chunky chewy vanilla pumpkin banana peanut butter cookie dough for breakfast.

say that three times fast.

1/3c oats with 3/4c water mixed before the gym and left in the fridge, 1/4c pumpkin, 1 5.3oz plain oikos container, 1/2tbsp vanilla protein powder, 2tbsp pb2 sawce & 1/2 naner thinly sliced.

perfection.

on a fun note any new york bloggers or if you want to take the flight, drive, or walk in should join a bunch of us for dinner next saturday evening at 5 burro cafe for a mexican feast and some good times! if you’re interested leave a comment here or shoot mari an email and she’ll give you the deets.

alright lovah’s i’ve got a bunch of duties to hack into before school starts up again next week. sending good vibes your way today ;) until tomorrow..

peace, love, & chicken grease.

what’s one thing you’re going to do today that’s gonna make you very happy? i’m going to sell some books back on amazon and hopefully make some mooohlaah.
