Aaaaaah, Spring Break.

My last update was about my three pound weight loss last week. Still pretty pumped about it.


Nothing novel has really happened this week, buuuuuuuuuut I've been keeping myself busy.

I have more hours at work now, so that means less time to dilly-dally AKA less time to confuse boredom with hunger. This is good. haha.

Hm...lemme think...

Sunday: Worked 10-6, and that was pretty much it. Uneventful Sunday. haha. I probably did homework when I came home. It was a week ago, I don't even remember. I DID eat Trader Joe's Meatless Meatballs. So good. Love them.

Monday: Had class, went to the gym, then I had work. Yep, pretty typical.

Tuesday: AM workout, Coffee Tree (duh), class (took a Biochem quiz...totally owned its butt), then I went home and went on a cleaning rampage. Well, not rampage...but, I did a couple loads of dishes and cleaned my gross-ass bathroom. Had some oatmeal with almond milk. Felt like sharing that, because I freaking love oatmeal and I freaking love almond milk...so yeah. haha. I also had this portabella marsala Healthy Choice entree for lunch (with some Meatless Meatballs). Sooooo good. I also had a spoonful or two of natural peanut butter. Dear God, that is my kryptonite. hahaha.

Wednesday: Another AM workout (Luna Bar and apple beforehand--if you're a woman and you don't eat Luna Bars, you're a damned fool < 333), class, then headed home. Had my cheat meal! Stuffed eggplant from La Capella. SO FREAKING GOOD.

Theeeeen, I did some more hardcore cleaning. More dishes, cleaned out the ridic refrigerators, then took out aaaaall of the trash/recyclables. Had a salad for dinner to compensate for the gluttonous lunch, and yeah. haha

Thursday: Went in early to work on an essay, class, then I took a different bus to the gym. However, I had to walk over a mile uphill with all my stupid bags, but I felt light as a feather. I know it sounds corny, but...I felt awesome about it. Worked out, then walked back down the damn hill and went to work (didn't have my Coffee Tree skinny latte, but I had yummy brussel sprouts! I'm obsessed, I know it's weird).

Yesterday/Friday: AM class, then I went to the gym. Wasn't feeling motivated, but then I did it...and I rocked it. 1200 calories, Bitches. haha. I'm feeling it this morning, though. I was gonna go for a morning run before work, but I woke up and my body was like...uuuuuuuuuuuhhhh no. I had my Coffee Tree, then I went to work and that's about it.

Other than the stuffed eggplant, I didn't really stray away from my diet. I did a little on Wednesday. Had a little bit too much cheese and stuff, but I did a lot of extraneous work around the house that hopefully compensated a little. haha.

As I said before, I decided to give up all sweets for Lent. I was talking to my Mom about it and I told her that my "Fat Tuesday" Meal is going to be an Eggplant Mediterranean melt from Gullifty's, which isn't too bad (no pasta or processed carbs, except for the garlic bread, but I won't eat it)...but I freaking want carrot cake in the most way. haha. That'll be my last hurrah. wooooo. Then, no cakes, no candy, no ice cream, pies, etc...for 40 days. It'll happen ;).

I have Spring Break this week! I'm working 40 hours, so I'll keep myself busy, and I have a midterm essay and an exam to study for, so I'll definitely not be loafing. Then there's always the gym. I also have a gynecologist and haircut appointment. Pretty pumped to see how much I actually weigh on a doctor's scale. And then there's Carrot Cake Time too :).

Alright, time to finish this oatmeal with strawberries and apricots and then get ready for work! Watching the most recent episode of "Biggest Loser"...love that show. So motivating.

After work, I'm going grocery shopping really quickly for dinner. I'm having a vegetarian bacon cheeseburger! haha. With vegetarian baked beans. And asparagus. Yum yum yummmm. In preparation for my outrageous meal on Fat Tuesday, I'm trying to limit my caloric intake til then. Fun times. Today, I'm eating oatmeal for breakfast, Chobani for a snack, then an egg-white omelet and some veggies for breakfast. So excited for a bacon cheeseburger tonight! And I love me some baked beans. It's crazy how much better for you a black bean burger and veggie bacon is for you than the real thing. And I'm eating low fat cheese and a Arnold whole wheat thin. Love those things. And the asparagus will be steeeeeeeeeeamed.

Alright, oatmeal is beckoning. Byeeeeeee.

PS. New dress :);



Before my workout. Love this outrageous hoodie. haha:

  2. I literally felt my stomach leap for joy at the sight of the eggplant dish. It's either that or I'm pregnant? Please God, don't ever let it be that again.
