Foot Issue?

Looks about right!

Turns out this is something that ended up doing more bad than good. I thought my foot would get better after a bit (before my muscles were sore, this time my foot). One healed & then I decided to get back into running again. I'm going to choose losing more weight before I start running again. :] It's one more thing to look forward to. Although I'm a bit upset I hurt myself like this. I'm not %100 sure what I did but it hurts when I was...at the end of the day it's worse. I'm debating going to the labs tonight because my foot is hurting and the walk is longer than it usually feels.

My foot & the homework/ project due thursday has been keeping me from being able to work out (another reason I'm upset with myself..it's keeping me from being more active). If my foot hurts past friday I may have to go to the doctors :/ 

Let's hope it doesn't get to that point. Thinking about explaining to my Dr. (whom I don't know) that I hurt my foot running... :D.....

Alright! this was a nice little break. I think I'll head over to the working labs now (get some homework done). I'll just walk a little funny haha & slow.

Again:] on the upside!

Sometimes I watch movies while im sketching & brainstorming. I've been meaning to see Bridesmaids because Kristen Wiig is hilarious! The women cast in this movie are so perfect.. I couldn't stop laughing ( it was a bad choice to try and use as background noise -that was my mistake) I don't regret it though. :)

I'd recommend this to anyone who likes Kristen's kind of humor :]

Goodnight!

Sweet Stuff!

I've come up with an idea for my next assignment. The problem is... it was assigned more than a week ago. I've been having a problem trusting my ideas. I always figure my ideas are "too stupid" or "unoriginal", so it takes me a while to figure out what i'll be doing for assignments. Anyways, this particular project is due this Thursday. Though, I was surprised to see people at the same stage as I was today.
I can finish on time, I just wish I listened to myself more.

On a sweeter note! 

Just some B&BW item I picked up the other day :]

I love getting cute bags from places I shop at!

This is my first Wallflower product from B&BW (this one has a night light)

Might use this?

I ended up getting two of this scent "frosted cupcake"

Using this one 1st! my room smells great.. I'm  thinking this will be one of my favorites.

I loved the cute halloween packaging :] i'm surprised I controlled myself so well with all the halloween items in store haha

The night light adjusts with a dimmer (by itself) depending on how much light is in the room!

Last minute.. before we get out of the car it starts to pour! my clothes & shoes were soaked! :[ BUT I was happy to get home & plug in my new wallflower :]

It was another great weekend. Now I'm off to do some homework <3
 * running out of food, need to go grocery shopping soon..
I'd like to try and get some salmon, every time I look & see the price I change my mind... ( depends where I end up going I suppose)

Hope everyones Monday  went well!

Goodnight

Saturday Shake-up!

B-A-N-A-N-A-S

I always miss-judge how many bananas I buy! I'm guessing it's just one of those things...
This is how I salvage my bananas before it's too late :]

HOW I WENT ABOUT MAKING THIS SHAKE...

Using Total Soy (2 scoops)

eyeballed the milk

this was two bananas of the three.. 

I'll use the third banana tomorrow morning. This is with the two scoops of Total Soy.

Two surprise ingredients ( Raspberry jelly & peanut butter) my dad is the shake maker in the family.. he  always makes great shakes & the jelly & peanut butter always make them extra special. (without sacrificing too many points!)

mmm...

The noisy part!

Not sure this is the pic

It ended up being thick because of the bananas :]

Also tomorrow I'm going to the mall & I have a plan! I really want some fall scented (anything).. it's my favorite season & there are always such cute things AT... {B&BW Bath & Body Works }. I'm not sure how it came up but me and my roommate will be going to the mall, we made plans to stop by B&BW :]

Here is what I'd like to pick up :]

• 1st & main reason : Wallflowers ( I just realized how funny that sounds coming from me ..ha)
• Candles
• (after that it just depends on what's on sale & how much I'd spent already)
• Oh yeah & everything..?

The point of this shopping trip was to have my room smell great! I love walking into my room after a long day in class & have it smell like the holidays or sweet things :]

I've recently just used up all of my "Pink Sugar"... before it started looking empty I sprayed that all the time,before bed, in my closet, in drawers...so when I opened them I'd just a burst of sweetness.
THEN before I had "Pink Sugar" I did the same with Vera Wang's Princess.
I'm scent obsessed...

& my next hopefully! (it's not my birthday any time soon haha I just like to plan ahead...this is about 4 months ahead-haha )

I think I'll buy this for my next birthday :] Does anybody else buy themselves  small gifts for their own birthdays?
The Demeter (site they have so many unique fragrances!)http://www.demeterfragrance.com/Product.aspx?ProductID=823

Hope everyone is having a great weekend :]

Goodnight!

Thursday Night Out! & 15th Weigh in!

15th Week Weigh In!!!

:]

This week I was down 1.6 lbs awesome!
Current weight: 279
Total loss! -41
Starting Weight: 320

Last night was another great night out. It was not exactly "my scene", it was country night! I did not dance... I felt very uncomfortable dancing with so little people. If I were to dance it would have to be with more people around.. this was a handfull of people. We didn't expect it to be as crowded as it would be on Friday nights. I was proud of myself for even going! I was with new people & had a great night on my own terms. I'm sure for people who are used to going out would see my night in a different light. {haha rhyme}
Something I've noticed about all these situations I was always scared of... "people are more accepting than you gave them credit for". I must have been the only one who felt as if "I don't belong here..". Hello worst enemy!- that's me.

 Thanks!

I havn't RUN in... let's just say years?

In Elementary school..there are vivid memories of me running. I'm not positive how long it's been, but it's probably not good. The other day in my room, a feeling came over me, I had to be active! Turns out running in place for about 7 minutes is all my body was having that day.

It felt so great! I wanted to get back to that the next night, but to my dismay, the next day my legs were too sore.

Just going up & even down stairs.. I feel it. It's been a few days now since & is still hurting very much. Hopefully tomorrow the sore muscle feeling will be gone & I can get back into the running. :] Step by step, for now, no matter how much it hurts.

This sounds like a lot of complaining but I'm glad to have discovered I like running. It's really something I've been scared of for such a long time. One less thing I'm scared of!

Why I love Wednesdays!

Btw This isn't me in this video :]
Here is a link to the vlog group "Project Lifesize"

Oh! Tomorrow is Weigh in day. I have been keeping to my tracking & been  as active as my sore muscles would allow. I'll keep my fingers crossed!


 Hope everyone had a great Wednesday:]

Multigrain Turkey Sandwich { Avacado & Mushroom}

This was too good!

Instead of mayo!
I used Avocado... "good fats" :]
For the Avocado {guacamole I just added some lemon juice, garlic powder, and some salt} very quick & easy! the salt isn't even necessary..
Bread: I found these Multi-grain Ciabatta rolls at Walmart's Bakery. What a surprise, our Walmart is now also a grocery store!

Toasting the bread too it to the next level of amazing!

{ this was all yesterday! I though I had pressed the "post publish".. I guess I hadn't!}

   The other day when we were surprised by how great our Walmart is now... I wanted to look for some snack bars. My classes are all 3 hours long :] after about the 2nd hour I notice my stomach asking for some attendance. I usually do bring a bag of cereal ,that will work also, but I wanted to se if I could find anything to quickly run & go.

Here's what I'm trying this week!

I ended up using this yesterday! This quickly filled me up & helped  me through the last hour of class.

I was also  wondering... if anybody using blogger is having an issue with colors of photos when they are uploaded.  The color after going through Picasa is dulled out  (my last picture of the" kid Z bar" is unedited & much darker than the original. Just wondering if anybody else was experiencing this problem?

Is there another way to upload photos... because I noticed that even if I do upload them from my computer they are still being uploaded into Picasa & have the same outcome overall dull dark photos.

Thanks!

Good afternoon!
