vic vic victory.

why hello everyone! some of you have the day off today, and then there are those of us who don’t. no jealousy there or anything..

it’s cool i’m not hating or anything wanna know why..

NY_JETS_FANCY

please see title of post. eeek!

moving on.

finally after breakfast yesterday i regained some strength. now i remember why it’s rare that i drink my weight in stoli-o and understand that yes my tolerance has gone down an enormous amount tiny bit since college.

sometime after reruns of my favorite orange colored ladies and copious amounts of wedding channel shows i gained the strength to get up and plate myself some good eats.

snackplates are the cure to hangovers.

that and reality tv.

time crept by way too fast and the idea of going to the gym, or even moving my @$$ off the couch slowly slipped out of the window.

and i continued to follow through the day with snacks and sloth like activities.

P1172851 P1172852

pb2 & applez.

after all i had to get my game face on.

deej took the forefront for dinner as she knew my heart was in football mode and the salad duties she took over graciously. she whipped up a turkey, cabbage, and a salad in no time flat and it was back to the theme of the day.

television and food.

P1172855 P1172854

big ole salad with the works + turkey & 1.5tbsp tribe 40 spices hummus. side of cabbage times 50000

does anyone else love cabbage as much as me? seriously whenever deej makes cabbage its like the song to my heart. steamed cabbage doused in garlic flavorings is the reason for my existence. i know it. and yes it is that serious.

victory! we won and i expressed my elated enthusiasm to my fav football lovin hippie.

of course there was cause for celebration. naturally i would have celebrated with popcorn but this time i made cake.

P1172856 protein cake with 1/2tbsp better n peanut buttaz

i should have put a candle in it.

i’ll save the candles for the superbowl. oh no she didnnnn.

i proceeded to get my golden globe fashion police on with deej & jen and then called it an early night because i had plans to sweat the weekend off in 6am spin.

60 minute spin class + back&bis

incline outward bicep curls 4 sets 12 (10lb freeweights) superseded with bent over dumbbell rows 4 sets 12 (15lb free weights)

21s 4 sets (20lb barbell)

30lbs each side15 reps
35lbs each side12 reps
40lbs each side10 reps

strech & seee yaaaa

by the time i got home from the gym i was a starvin marvin and so showering and the whole clean up shibang was just not happenin before i stuffed my face.

i opened the fridge unsure of what i wanted and in the way back of the fridge made eye contact with the piece de resistance of this morning’s grubfest.

P1172859

it was tough getting to it but after moving several containers of jello, some relish and a piece of my parents wedding cake (ha i kid) i got a handle on it and it felt just light enough for you know what…

o.i.a.j. baby. talk about a victory.

P1172858 P1172860

oats in a jar it was. 1/3c oatbran, 1/4c canned pumpkin, 1 2/3c water, cinnamon, stevia, vanilla extract, half a naner, 1/4c egg beaters, the tiny amount of naturally more that was hiding in the back of the fridge & some pb2 puddlez.

it should be called p.i.a.j. perfection in a jar.

i suddenly knew what mark sanchez felt like when he won last night.

alright folksies! hope you all have a wonderful monday.

1. do you like cabbage?

2. go to your fridge right now and find one thing that’s in the way back of it that you forgot was there and report back here with it. ready…go!

I have yet to try OIAJ - I don't even think I have a jar of REAL PB in my house. Crazy, right?! I didn't like cabbage when I was a youngin' but who knows now!

Half a jar of salsa that I won (I think from you) MONTHS ago! Needless to say, I won't be eating it.

Anonymous said...

I do love cabbage... Have never had it steamed though. Def need to try that ASAPs.
I went to the back of my fridge and found a large carton of coconut H20 SCORE!

elise said...

im in a MAYJ cabbage phase of life right now, so odd.

Tay said...

Oh hours and hours of reality TV is a definite hangover must ;-) Last weekend my roommates and I watched 8 hours straight of TV crap! haha

Some cabbage is Okay - I do like cabbage salads!
Umm...I have been forgetting I have turkey pepperoni! It's hard to forget I have things in the fridge, since I only have such a small space to begin with!

Gina said...

Its funny, I actually have something in my frezer that smells like poo, and I can't figure out what the heck it is! I'm type A and have nothing in my fridge that is old, nothing. I'm a freak.

We had similar weekends, too much drinking, and watching the wedding channel. fun times!

twolivesonelifestyle said...

I love cabbage!! Sauerkraut too. Back of my fridge there is some cilantro but I don't think it's okay to eat still... ew -Katie

healthyontherun said...

Congrats to your Jets!

And some random thing I found in the back of my fridge.. cashew butter! I've had it since last year.. think it's still good?

Erica said...

Amanda Brooks said...

Mom on the Run said...

I love cabbage in my winter vegetable soup. The back of the fridge is a bag of apples that so desperately need to be turned in applesauce.

Krista said...

I love cabbage! So good...

In the back of my fridge? Goat's chhese yogurt. Damn...gotta use that up!!!

Anne said...

I love cabbage soup, but I can't remember ever eating steamed cabbage. I totally need to make it! I've got this jar of pickles in the back of my fridge and the pickle juice has now frozen cause my fridge temp was messed up near the back and it never thawed... awesome. Ha!

findinghappinessandhealth said...

melonshots said...

Mmmm i love cabbage! i usually eat it raw!

Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) said...

the one thing is a mango curry chutney seasonal dip from TJs. Hmmm. May have to crack the seal on that one, soon!

Congrats on "your" victory :)

And cabbage. Yes. Love it, brock, brussels, all good in the cruciferous hood.

Susan said...

I know the Jets cheer, but I refuse to do it! And I kind of like the Colts...shh!

I found a cheese ball from Christmas this week in the back of my fridge...

Sara said...

Opened black bean dip and banana peppers...I'm afraid to find mold in either jar. I've never had steamed cabbage, but I love it sauteed and broiled! Soooo good with salt and balsamic.

I'm glad the jets won ONLY because of fantasy football reasons... next season it's back to lovin' the Pats.

MelindaRD said...

I totally do not do cabbage. I don't think I have tried it recently, but it makes me think of like cole slaw which I hate and I hate it cause the mayo stuff. As for the fridge, I am happy to report mine is clean, I cleaned it Sunday night!!!
