Dinner: Egg beaters & Veggies (Mushrooms, Brocoli)  

Finally, back to the gym! Before I went in I told myself that if I had to leave early because of my foot..that it would be okay & that I had at lest tried. Thankfully the Arc Trainer didn't strain any muscles in my foot &  was able to workout for a little over my usual 20 minute goal.

I almost forgot how accomplished I felt after having worked out!- and not to mention blowing off some steam that was building up the past few weeks (stress form school & just life). 

Oh, I was also finally able to sign into my WW account online! I had sent them an E-mail & this morning (before I noticed they had E-mailed me back) my account was working again! There was a list of suggestions as to why it may not have been functioning correctly.

ALL IN ALL I'm able to track online again & am back to the gym!

TOMORROW IS weigh-in day

Goodnight!

Monday Monday..

I was having issues getting on my WW account today... I'm still having problems! I may have to call tomorrow to see what's going on. It's probably something simple, I tracked with an extra tracker I got from the meetings I was going to this summer. 

How obvious is it that I love orchids?!

A part of a painting I did over the summer. The color & quality is a bit off... I  hadn't thought to take a quality picture before leaving home.

Tomorrow is no classes!

Goodnight

1st Time Making Tzatziki!

After a gloomy day we get this!- well worth it... 

Over the summer I was over a friends house & was tough how to make Tzatziki. I finally decided it was time to try something different. I bought all the ingredients I could recall were going to needed ( this is one of those times I wish I had a smart phone..I could have looked up the recipe). I think I did pretty well remembering thought! Tzatziki is pretty simple to make thankfully, the only item I forgot was the dill... I bought rosemary instead. :] I still used the rosemary in the recipe.

Next time I'll chop up some onions & use more cucumber

The Tzatziki was great & I have ideas for the next time I'll be making it! I looked here, more as a reference, I didn't follow a specific recipe. (next time I'll follow this one & see what happens)

Food Networks Tzarziki Recipie!

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/tzatziki-recipe/index.html

I also picked up some strawberry Special K protein Shake, I was buying the chocolate, again I felt like changing things up a bit! Just like the chocolate.. I think it tastes just like boost! I'm confident the Vanilla does as well.. but I still haven't tried that one.

I'm not sure what happened or what I bought differently... but my groceries were much more than they usually are. The only thing I can think of is I bought misc fruits & veggies. I've been shopping for myself for 4 years now & there is a huge difference when you are buying things that taste good (junk foods) v.s. what's "good for you".
When I think about what I was buying my past years in college my shopping list would look something like this:
Cocacola (had to have it)
Frozen Pizza ( sometimes I would finish these by myself in a shameful amount of time, pretty embarrassing!)
Bread (white)
Cheese
red Meats
Macaroni in a box ( I recently looked at the nutrition facts on these boxes.. whoaaa :/ )
 * the list goes on but I'm not remembering atm
OHH yeah & cake.. because I felt like I could.
The point is.. I could buy all these items on sale or get one buy one.. & that week I'd have it.

Maybe it was just a weird week..not many sales on what I was running out of!

One more! right outside our apartment the color was dulled out when I uploaded it to picasa, I re-edited the color to have it match up with the original ( I'm surprised my camera picked up these wonderful colors!).

Ready for the week
Goodnight!

Fall in Florida

FALL MY FAVORITE SEASON!

Out in our apartment complex- I'm happy we are on the top floor so we can see the day light... the other floors are so dark.


Haha I can't say it enough.

I would love to live someplace where the seasons change, where you can see & smell the change outside! I will, but for now I'm going to appreciate the festive decorations that go up in stores and peoples houses. My home was never actually decorated for season.. but I would very much appreciate when I saw other people doing so.

I plan to go back to the gym ASAP (this tuesday classes are canceled!) there's no excuse as to why I would't go to the gym tuesday! My foot is feeling a bit better.. although I have been trying to keep off it as much as possible.

I have homework & reading (a streetcar named desire) to do this weekend..other than that it should be relatively relaxing!

it was beautiful out this afternoon!

I've been using this pasta a lot recently.. there are others to choose from but I keep coming back to this one.

I'm going to make this weekend a productive one

Hope everyone else is having a great weekend too!

Good afternoon

16th Weight Watchers Weigh-In!

279.2 (gain of 0.2)

I really need to find a way to keep active (not involving my foot). I was thinking maybe use some weighs? All in all this week proved to be a challenge, with the school work & the foot issue mainly.

Finally after the class this morning I was able to make a sandwich & sit to enjoy it!
Also finally got food- that helps :]

Usually I'm very low in Iron & always forget to pick up some iron pills.... there were a few options but one I had to choose from was missing. I was also told some Aleve would help with the some of the pain from the foot.

What's always left over after a night of painting :]

This was my last day of classes till monday! There is homework to do..but at least no lingering due dates :]

Good afternoon!

What's going on!

This was the perfect time to get a post in for the day :]
I'm still working on the project (due tomorrow morning) sorry for being so repetitive. *it's almost over...
till then!

I'm finishing the sandwich off as I post.. ready to get back to painting!

ALSO my roommate and I have decided we would support each other in weightless by telling each other our weekly weight. :] Her weigh-ins are saturday & mine are Friday :] should be good!

Goodnight - Hope everyone is doing great!

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!
