aaaah! let's play catch up!

SORRY!!!! I wasn't at a computer long enough to upload my pictures for Sunday and Monday! So! Let's do that now, shall we?

ooookay. So, Sunday was Fast Sunday (for all you non-LDSers out there that means that we don't eat for two consecutive meals...on the physical note of Fast Sunday) so I just had dinner...which was a potluck at church....Italian themed. ALL CARBS ALL THE TIME! I was actually really excited to see a salad and some chicken cooked into a dish! Yay, something non carby!!!

Yeah...mostly pasta, there's even some mac n' chese under the fettucini....BUT! I usually split like...a plate of varioius desserts with my sister at these events and I proudly limited myself to ONE biscotti :D *small victory dance*

....and then we went to a friends house and made fresh strawberry pie....and man was it gooooood!






Alright, so that was Sunday the 3rd-obviously I didn't workout that day so..yeah.
Ok, 4th of July....I failed at the workout portion :( I was tired. I did however run around work like a chicken with its head cut off and worked up a good sweat so at least a few calories were burned! But, let's take a look at the food..... :S


Breakfast....we ran out of apple juice so I couldn't make my smoothie!!!! I was super sad, but this is a bowl of granola...in the smallest cereal bowl we have. I think it holds 2 cups? I'm not sure though, but it was a smaller portion than normal

I was running late for work, but thankfully mom had brought home some pre-packed lunches from the hospital...yay mom! This is roast beast (:D) on whole wheat with apple sauce and 2 snickerdoodles...pretty yummy!

Dinner part one. Hey, it was a bbq on Independence day, how could I only do a part one of dinner?! So we have whole wheat hamburger bun, burger with pepper jack chease and some super delish southwest spicy mustard! Oh, and watermelon....mmmmmmmmm :D

Dinner part 2. Can you tell I love watermelon? There's also some grapes on there and a dollop each of macaroni salad and potatoe salad. Tip! If you want some sort of salad that you KNOW is loaded with calories, load your plate first with lower caloie foods like fruit or veggies so you don't have as much room on your plate for the not so good for you stuffs :D...AND EAT SLOW! Seriously, don't even get another bite of food on your fork (or spoon) until the bite in your mouth is COMPLETELY chewed and swallowed. It also helps if you have people to talk to whilst eating...just don't talk with your mouth full cuz that's just plain old gross...

 

Dessert....I caved. I had a root beer float. Note: that is the 4th time this entire year that I've had soda! Yay me:D



OK, confession time....I did also do some grazing...and didn't take pictures :( I don't count vegetable grazing since that's pretty much no calories, but I had about a handful of chips...and a few (like 5 or 6) 2 bite pieces of this suuuuuper yummy pastry thing throughout the rest of the night. And I didn't workout yesterday! BAD SHERRE! BAD! But besides that I think I did pretty ok. And, can't go back to change the past right? We just have to keep moving forward.


OOOOOk, so that brings us to today! The 5th of July. So I got up at 5:15 to do my workout-I did workout level 1 on Jillian Michael's 30 day shred...love it cuz it's a grand burn in only 20 minutes, and the reason I did that is because some friends and my sister and I went out to breakfast at The Old European Breakfast House...sooooooooo gooooooooooood!!!!!!!!!!! so my breakfast today is brought to you in 3 parts :)












Ok, so for some odd reason it wasn't letting me add captions to my photos for today...so I'll just explain them down here. The first 3 photos are breakfast. Plate one: Ableskiever (the round ball) 1/2 a small pancake, 1/4 potatoe pancake, and 1/4 strawberry crepe...mmmmm *happy tummy* Plate 2: 1 pancake (they're SO. GOOD!) and a bit over 1/4 of a strawberry whipped cream stuffed french toast....of which I took the end and I'm fairly certain I didn't get any of the "stuffing"...just fruit and whipped cream....which is ok by me. It was fantastic! Photo 3: traditional Hungarian goulash! SOOOOOOOOO stinking good! There's some leftover in my fridge as we speak...it may re-appear as breakfast tomorrow...not gonna lie. I LOVE that stuff. So yes, I did have 3 plates of breakfast...but note: in plates one and three the picture is mostly plate! *small victory*
Lunch was a salad with two boiled eggs (one yolk) and some cheese and a little bit of this spaghetti pasta thingy that was eaten cold...and was suprisingly really good cold!
The last two photos are my dinner pt. 1 and pt. 2....I really wasn't hungry, but I love me some ritz crackers and cheese and then the last one is a salsa dish ( like the size of the kind you get at Chili's...pretty sure that's where it came from in fact) of potatoe salad. It was like 2 heaping spoonfulls of that spoon you see.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAnd my intention today was to workout twice since that's one of my monthly workout goals and I was feeling guilty for not working out yesterday....but all that changed when I got to work. Why you ask? Well, I guess I felt the need to kick some hardware at work and decided to rip off part of my toenail....seriously, I have a blood stain from my toe stepping on my flip flop. Those are my favorite pair too! Now they've been melted and bled on! They're good shoes! Good thing blood doesn't bug me. But the reason I didn't workout again? My toe has been THROBBING off and on all day....just trying to put a SOCK on hurted a lot... :( no bueno, so I didn't workout a second time. But I shall do my darndest to achieve that goal.
