Pad Thai and tofu= super scrumptious

So i have this thing now where i have a salad before my main course for lunch, really helps fill me up faster!
This morning went to the gym and did 30 minutes of cardio with 10 min of weights.. came back and had a cup of vanilla fat free yogurt with strawberry granola and a tsp of flax seed.. it was soo good.

For lunch i tried this frozen plate "Pad Thai with tofu" it was surprisingly good and a little spicy.
For dinner i was running late so i popped some leftover meat and veggies in the micro and ran out... did step practice with the girls then had a drink with Jessica at Billy Frog's.

Kinda late once i got home so i just had 2 scoops of After Dark Chocolate Fro-yo.. it was yummy

Meeting monika early tom at scooters... need my beauty sleep nite! :)

Soulmates

Classic Definition of Soulmates or twin flames:

The concepts of soulmates arose from Greek mythology. According to the story, our ancestors once had 2 heads, 4 arms. They did something to offend a god so that god punished them by splitting them down the middle, resulting in the creation of humans. As a punishment, we are condemned to spend our lives searching for the other half, our soulmates

I read an interesting theory once, from a professor in psychology who was writing about humans and love. In this theory, which probably goes out of the bounds of actual psychology, he proposed that there is no ‘one person’ that each of us is intended to be with forever. Rather, his theory said that there are about eight ‘right persons’ for each of us, but that since these eight are spread so much around the planet we will only have the chance of meeting one: a soulmate, of sorts.

This study proposed that from a standpoint of compatibility mixed with probability, if someone was to find one of their soulmates, there would only be a very minute chance they would ever meet with any of the other ‘eight’, and thus wouldn’t feel as strong a connection with anyone else in their lifetime; even though the others do exist somewhere.

Thought i'd share my findings :)

Today went by so slow, did some cooking last night with some meat and veggies!

Of course while cooking i had to snack on some yummy organic grapes and cucumbers with lime.

Then someone at work today walked in with some really good smelling chinese food, i was really tempted.. but i waited until i clocked out and went to whole foods to find a good substitute. This is what i ate instead of the grease heavy chinese food i could have had. (it wasn't too bad either)

Ahh and my wonderful honey vanilla chamomile tea--

lifetime shows..

Was off of work early today because i was supposed to play a tennis match but it rained too much to play on the courts! We rescheduled for Friday.
I hit up the gym in my apartments again 25 min of cardio 10 min of weights.. i hope i can go longer next week.

Watching lifetime "Drop Dead Diva" kinda getting into it.. lol

Saturday.. so much accomplished

Got up so early I can't believe i'm still awake. My sis spent the night and we hit the gym at 6:30am... unfortunately for us only 1 treadmill was working so we did the eliptical (sp?) and weights, the guy was on for like 30 minutes! Goodness..
After that we went to the Farmer's market downtown-- it was so awesome, i've only been one other time and hadn't realized just how many things there were!
So i overdid it and by the time i was heading out both of my hands were carrying bags, bought so many fresh veggies, salsa and bread! IT was so beautiful out too!

Headed out to work after that and at this point I've only had a honey oat granola bar so i was pretty hungry--- lucky for me my new addiction (and fav place) was having a summer taste festival so the whole store (Whole Foods) had samplings. That's where i went for lunch--see the yumminess?

Got off work and headed to my brother's place so he could install a new fuel injector in my car-- hung out with my niece and nephew.. they are soo silly.

Ran a few errands and by the time I got home it was 9:30pm! I was super hungry so i made some tea (honey vanilla chamomille, yum!) and started washing all the veggies and cutting them up for storage. (while munching on them too!)

A friend came by and I finished cutting, slicing, storing everything while chatting away. My fridge is super healthy! Can't wait to eat tomorrow! :)

Fiber in the morning..mmm

So today was the first day i went back to the gym.. my apt has a 24 hr fitness center (yay for me) the only hard part was getting there. Did 25 min of cardio and 10 min of weights.. im so out of shape, i can't believe i lasted that long.

Came home for bkfast -- bowl of fiber 1 with a banana and this fun bottle of water i got at whole foods. Payday is today so maybe i'll go check out what else they have.. that place is addictive.

Last night I didn't have much, 1/2 cup of mint choc ice cream and a smore (midnight bonfires) good times, bad 4 diet.

I'm so not a morning person... but i'm making an effort.

Whole Foods pizza

So I completely forgot about this blog, journaling in my journal of course and livejournal i guess there wasn't a real need to do it here.. however i have found a new use for you my lovely blog.

Food blogging. Yes i guess it is the new fad but it should also help in what i am consuming on a daily basis. Granted i did not think of this on my own, i skimmed several other food blogs before posting my own. Actors diet was fun and full of useful info (Lynn Chen and Christine Meyers) so here we go...

So to date I have bought only a few organic items.. organic green tea and ginger chews, although i'm not sure if those are organic.

Today i went to whole foods and got 2 slices of pizza. Spinach and artichoke and pepperoni.. also bought a cup of peach rosemary infused lemonade-- it sounded good. A little sugary but i added water and ice to balance it out.

The pizza was amazing--it was really odd though I thought i was really hungry but one slice and i was full!

In the morning i had Special k and skim milk. Yum.

We are having a going away party for a co-worker and they are providing a nacho bar.. lets see how this goes.

ttfn!
