I get food!!!!!! Actually today wasn’t that different. I had a smoothie for breakfast
Then i made smashed potatoes from red potatoes with earth balance butter, cheese and green onions. I had about 3/4 of a cup of the potatoes for lunch then around 4:30 i had a salad
Dinner around 7:30pm was the smashed potatoes but i was hungry and forgot to take a picture.
I was starving when i got home so i made a quick, easy and simple quesadilla
And now its bed time. Food is sooooo good!!!!!.
So far stomach is doing better, bloating was noticeably less today and so far im down 1.6lbs. So now i just need to not let myself get carried away until i go back to juice on Sunday.
I did half good food and half prepackaged food lol. Weird polar opposites.
Lately my stomach has been hurting anytime i eat. I’ve been eating too much crap lately.
Doing day 1 of my pre cleanse: my stomach still hurt most of the day. But my intestines did start cleaning out a bit hahaha. We’ll see what day 2 pre-cleanse holds!!!
Monday I had 4 miles on my schedule but my IT band was still so tight even after rolling it twice so I got 1 miles done then switched to the elliptical machine for the last 3. More foam rolling needs to happen.
My roommates dog joined me for a little studying and I got 2 letters written and in the mailbox to friends.
I have used this torture device about 4 times so far this past week. It is definitely helping but I haven’t completely released the muscle. A few more rolls and I should be good.
Got my organics2you box!!! There was so much stuff in it!
These blood oranges have been awesome because of course I got sick!!! Ugh. Th3 cold finally got me.
This onion is huge!!! It’s the size of like 3 normal ones!!
Red cabbage, really nice and crisp
Dill
Celery root
Watercress
Bananas
Lettuce
Fuji apples
Carrots
Green onions
Beautiful yukon gold potatoes
Then I kept finding more and more potatoes at the bottom of the box.
So far I have made veggie pasta (it is a recipe from alicia Silverstone’s cookbook called rustic pasta) and veggie stir-fry with yakisoba noodles.
Can you suffer from the pain of both? I ate way too much junk this weekend and was bloated for at least half the weekend and tonight I ran 5 miles then walked for another 30.
Tomorrow I need to do some serious stretching and foam rolling (aka tourture). My right hip (IT band) is SUPER tight so my hip is hurting and it radiates down my thigh to my knee. So foam rolling is a big to do for me tomorrow……or today since its after midnight.
The boyfriend and I were seriously lazy this weekend, we watched at least 8 movies and some Game of Thrones episodes. But it was seriously needed for me since I was traveling the last 2 weekends.
Some random stuff from this week:
My walk to class from the back parking lot
Gotta love Oregon lol
The boyfriend suggested running a marathon together in October, he was thinking Portland marathon until I looked it up and the cost is $130!! Too rich for our current blood so I’m looking at other options. But i did look up some training plans on Google
Then i scrapped them and made my own hahaha.
Tonight was the premier of a new TV show
I used the 2 hour premier to distract me while I ran.
Yep, i run like a turtle.
Thank goodness for TVs on your treadmill.
When I got home I had some leftover sushi from yesterday’s dinner
Last weekend I was in Long beach, CA for my grandmas birthday and this weekend thr bf and I took a little road trip to Long Beach, WA.
This week I did all my training for my new floating concierge position. I worked Friday morning then met the bf at my place and we headed to Washington.
Complete with doggie and all!! He wasn’t too happy about the traffic hahahahaha
We got a little dog friendly motel room right on the beach. Went for a little run Saturday morning
After our little run we headed into town for lunch and some exploring
Super stoked to see this hahahahaha
And got the biggest ice cream cone ever!!
Even sharing it with the bf I couldn’t finish it!
It was a fun quick trip, I had to be back by mid-day Sunday so I could train that night.
This morning I had an amazing breakfast
12 grain toast with a 2 egg omelet that had onions and Parmesan cheese and an orange. Mmmm I’m hungry just thinking about it.
Then I rode the trimet/max around town getting down the routes from my place to the places I would concierge at. Parking downtown is horribly priced.
It was an interesting day lol.
And tonight I hit the gym to do 3 miles while watching The Bachelor
Hi!!!! Wednesday morning I flew to my hometown of Long Beach, CA for my grandmas 90th birthday party!!!
After an errand with my mom we hit In ‘n’ Out
Yep, my priorities are in check hahahaha!!
Got a new shirt from Costco
Met my friend for a little workout
After 2 miles someone tells me you arent allowed to run only walk……say what??!!! So i walked 2 more miles with my friend while we chatted….but I don’t need to come here again.
Went out for dinner and dancing…..on a Thursday night hahahaha.
Friday we did some preparations for the big birthday party
Then today, Saturday, was the party.
We when got to the venue to set up there was a little water being pumped out from this crazy storm SoCal had
We took some fun photos
My sister and I
My awesome brothers
First time all 4 siblings have been together in almost 9 years.
Let’s see Thursday i had class the hit the gym to train with my friend. After strength training we hit the treadmills, i watched Grey’s Anatomy and ran
I did intervals
Friday the boyfriend came over, we took Artemis to the dog park the ran some errands.
We went out to dinner and got Thai food. I got pineapple fried rice and he got pad thai……..they put curry in my pineapple fried rice!!!!! That was so not listed in the ingredients and I am not a big fan of curry, thankfully the boyfriend is and he very gallantly traded dinner with me. Afterwards we hit the bar for a pre-movie cocktail, this was probably my second drink of the year hahahahaha, I don’t drink much. Then we headed to the movie and saw Fifty Shades Darker. I enjoyed it.
Saturday I made us chips and dip, a delicious but simple dip my mom always made. Cream cheese on the bottom then mild diced green chilis add chili on top of that and cheese on top of that and bake in the oven at 375-400 until the sides bubble.
Then we went mini-golfing
He completely decimated me.
Saturday night we made homemade pizzas
I am also babysitting my roommates dog this weekend, he says hi
Today was relaxing. We met my friend at the park and went for a run
I am quite happy, my goal for the week was 9 miles and my weekly total was 10.6!!
That brings my yearly total to 41.6.
My goal for next week is 12 miles.
And now it’s study time!!! My midterm is on Tuesday, wish me luck!!!!!
Friday the boyfriend and I thought we would go for a little hike. We picked a spot, got some snacks, and packed up the dog. I was excited for a fun hike, our first one together!! We get there and start walking up the trail and……….it’s almost all ice
This might not have a been problem if my shoes had better traction, if i wasn’t clumsy, and if the below dog didn’t like to run into me at full speed ans knock me over
I turned us around pretty quickly, so our hike eneded up being a grand total of .75 miles.
We picked up a pizza Friday night.
Another yummy pizza. Peperoni, sausage, onions and peppers.
Saturday we mostly relaxed, I got a delicious root beer float from A&W!!! Yumm, i hadn’t had one since September
Sunday was a study and read day for me
Got my HW done
Watched some old episodes of amazing race
Then decided I felt like reading
I had some company…….though my company kept passing some nasty gas
And i enjoyed a bottle of hard cider to go with it!
The first step was enrolling in my first prerequisite class.
I’ve been making extra large batches of food on the weekends to live off during the week and supplementing with snacks and things I have put in the freezer in the past few months.
Nice leftovers though huh?
Ugh and the boyfriend has gotten me stuck on these
I am trying really hard to only drink them on the weekends though, fake sugar is not good for you.
I passed my personal training certification exam yesterday!!!!! Woot woot! Now comes the question, how do I want to use it? I haven’t quite figured that out yet.
After the exhaustive exam I got an hour of HW done then headed to the gym to workout with a friend. After the gym it was HW time, I buckled down and got HW done at a reasonable hour and again had a cuddle buddy.
Of course I’m rocking some Veronica Mars in the background!
Today I had biology class and lab, once again I felt like I really had my stuff together. I love that feeling.
After class I came home And took Artemis for a walk
Now for the PT school stuff
Ican already tell trying to get these hours done is going to be difficult, at least until I get some contacts in the industry.
I’ve called 6 places so far. 1 is going to hopefully call me back. The receptionist wasn’t sure if the physical therapist did observation hours or not (it was a complete rehab place with a bunch of different services) I left a message with her and hopefully the physical therapist will call me back.
The 2nd place also took a message but has gotten back to me. They are a smaller place and are not accepting any volunteers right now.
The 3rd said I needed to apply online in their job area. I looked in the education/training area but nothing so far so I am still working on that
The 4th is a hospital so my fingers are crossed on that hoping there are more opportunities, they also took a message so I’m waiting on that call.
The 5th one also took a message and will hopefully call me back.
Success!!! Sort of. The last of the 6 places I called today is emailing me information on their volunteer program for physical therapy. Fingers crossed!!!!!!
I’ll let you know how it goes.
Tonight I have another date with Bones at the gym!!!
Trailing the blonde
