Sweet Tooth!

We are running a bit low in the bread department so for lunch I got creative and made a "veggie burger salad". I used an Amy's California Veggie Burger (DELISH!), almost a whole head of romaine and one roma tomato. I took a big forkfull of lettuce and paired it with a bite of the burger and a slice of tomato. Yum-o!


















Along side I had a Brisk No Calorie Lemon Iced Tea.

And these cookies are about to be devoured! If you have not already realized this...I have a BIG sweet tooth. I always have, but I manage to still follow a fairly healthy diet!


I did a quick 15 minute ab work out today...I really miss having a gym to go to. I guess that is one good thing about going back to school! The rest of the day is open, so we shall see where it takes me!

Tommorrow my friend, Alexa, and I are going to the Radio City Rockettes at 7:30PM! I am very excited. It is downtown, so we are going to try out this new place (or new for us anyways!) : Murphy's Deli. It is just a simple deli, so I should be able to pick something on the healthy side!

Enjoy your day! It is a beautiful Texas day, so I may go for a bike ride with Alexa later!

Six to Savor

I woke up late today around 10, which I have been doing just about every day of my vacation! I am going to get all turned around when I go back to waking up at 7AM for school!

Anyways, I had lots of snackies last night, so breakfast was on the lighter side: Quaker Merry Mapple Oatmeal and a sliced banana. This oatmeal is yet another Holiday/Limited Edition treat that I have to kiss goodbye! (I have 6 packets left to savor).

Check out my oatmeal bowl. my mom bought those for us last Christmas because Scrabble is one of our favorite games.

Peace out guys! Cya for lunch!

Faux Fried Fest

That is what I had for "lunch". After a very late breakfast consisting of french toast and a banana, I found my tummy grumbling around 3 and decided to throw together some of my favorite oven foods. In 6 days, I will no longer have an oven at my fingertips! :( What you see below is Morning Star Farms Mini Corn Dogs, Alexia Sweet Potato Fries, water and my brand new book......

Both of those two little plates are Christmas presents from my mom. I have a thing for cute, small dishes. :)

The Healthy Skeptic! (Another Christmas present...from my brother) I am so excited to dive into this book. The subtitle is "Cutting through the HYPE about your health". I will be sure to let you know how it is as I read through it!

I see some Celestial Seasonings Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride tea in my future. This stuff is amazing with a bit of sweetener....tastes exactly like a sugar cookie! My mom and I stock up everytime we go to Target because
1. That is the only place I have been able to find it around here
2. It is a holiday edition so it will not be around forever :(
We have an arsenal of about 25 boxes so far! It's actually pretty funny. I plan on taking about half of them to school with me. YUM!


Currently, I am watching my favorite show ever: GILMORE GIRLS! I am such a GG junkie, it's not even funny! We own all 7 seasons on DVD and I have been watching them for over 3 or 4 years.

Edited To Add: Sugar Cookie Tea with a packet of splenda and a package of Vortmann's Flax Seed Omega 3 Cookies. These cookies are delicious. They are fairly thin, but chewy. You can see flax seeds dispersed throughout the batter (I wish they were ground, so the health benefits of the flax seeds would be more readily available; but nevertheless, these are a keeper!) Better yet, 2 good-sized cookies are only 160 calories, which is not to shabby!

The Final Hours of 2008

Hey! Just a quick check in before I ring in the new year. My days of vacation are coming to the end as I go back to school on Jan. 5 and start classes on Jan. 7! I hope everyone has enjoyed the Holidays!





My New Years Resolutions are as follows:


1. Keep the blog updated


2. Go to the Rec Center 5X each week


3. Eat Right (that could not be more blunt, but I know what that means for me.) I think I need to pay more attention to my body and eat what makes me feel good and stay fit (which includes ice cream of course). I usually do this, but the Holidays kind of got the best of me!

What are your New Years Resolutions?!

Now it's time to wash dishes, finish a scholarship, take care of my two babies (i.e. puppies) and [although I go to TTU] hope that U of H pulls through (for my brother's sake).






Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
