NEW BLOG SITE!

Hey everyone! I moved my blog to this web address. Hope you like it :)

Making a switch?

Hey. I am home sick, and really just feel like overall...crud. I am under three blankets, but I am still chilly. My head hurts, throat is sore. Uhh! Not fun. Not fun at all.

Breakfast: Honey Sunshine cereal, & a bunch of grapes

I also drank some warm mint tea. Warmed me up :)

Question: While I love blogspot, I am pondering moving my blog to a wordpress (?) one. They have the W sign if you are wondering. I just love those blogs, like Sharon, and Andrea/Erin's as well. I love the tabs at the top, like for oatmeal, recipes, etc. What do you all think? It wouldn't be a huge deal, because nothing would really change. What do you think???

Flat out amazing! EDIT!

Hello fellow bloggers :) Hope your Sunday's have gone well. I think the blogger "consensus" is that Sundays are the best day of the week. I happen to especially like Fridays and Saturdays, but Sundays aren't bad at all! Having yoga on Sundays just makes it extra special!

My reason for titling this post FLAT-OUT amazing is because I had not one, but two flat-outs today. A garden spinach one with lunch, and another harvest wheat with flax seeds for dinner. I was going to have something else, but I was craving the sweet honey ham+provolone combo. And you gotta listen when that craving comes along! Mmm...

I went to the grocery store and here's some pics of what we got. I am not going to give a list to y'all because we pretty much got the normal stuff. I am having two special dinners this week, but more info on that later. Here ya go! One thing that I have not gotten and cannot wait to try on oatmeal is Berry Almond Granola. Yum!


FOODIES!

Breakfast: two eggs on toast, apple (sliced), organic PB

Lunch: garden spinach flat-out with spinach, hummus, and provolone, kashi crackers, and a granny smith apple

Snacks: some apricots... kashi honey almond flax-seed cereal, with plain yogurt (I should have chosen the strawberry yogurt, plain wasn't sweet enough)

Dinner: harvest wheat flat-out with honey ham, and provolone. I also had some
grapes, and an apple

Snacks: nothing yet! About to go grab some more kashi crackers and hummus though! :)

I went to yoga today and it was a great, challenging class! It's focus was primarily on balance. I did 20 minutes on the elliptical beforehand as well. Everything is feeling really good!

Night night lovies!

OH HAPPY DAY! :D

Hey girlies! Ahhh, I am in such a happy mood right now. As you all know, this week I just wasn’t myself. I am usually outgoing, happy, but I lost my spark for a little bit. Nothing that wasn’t fixable though. I am flying high right now after this fantastically fun day!

My eats are really weird today. I went to a party from 2- ~6, so I did a good amount of snacking, and never had a real dinner. Weird eats, but still yummy eats! I didn’t take pictures of anything but breakfast and the snacks I just had, oops!

So about the party, it was a birthday party for two of my best friends-they are twins (girls). We ran all around their neighborhood (literally), went to a playground, a lake, and fooled around with a football in the backyard. Non-stop fun! I really enjoyed hanging out with my friends. Here’s how my schedule today went:

Woke up ~9-make oatmeal…Off to gym for an hour and 10 minutes (11:30)…get home, shower, get ready…friend gets dropped off…go to pick out friends’ gifts…grab lunch…come home…wait to be picked up by the BF…go to party…come home, hang out with BF while watching UNC WIN…take him home…come home and snack…HERE I AM! :D

Goodness, not enough time to breathe! But I wouldn’t change anything :)

Foodies! (I love windows live [writer]!! thanks to burp and slurp!)

Breakfast: Oatmeal made like so:

• 1/2 cup oats, 2/3 cup water, splash of cream (all out of milk)
• banana
• brown sugar & cinnamon
• chocolate chips

This bowl was super yum! I also had a very tasty Clementine.

Lunch: Subway after shopping! I had a six inch sweet onion terriaki (chicken) on wheat topped with:

• spinach, green pepper, lettuce, tomato, black olives, cucumber, oregano, provolone, salt and pepper, and the sweet and sour sauce

Snacks: an apple, and lots of pretzels/chips with salsa at the party, plus some all natural choc. ice cream…

Dinner: Organic PB sandwich and an apple during game

Snacks: MORE all natural ice…ahh, I love my ice cream! and I just had an apple as well… :)

Well girlies, have a wonderful night! Off to watch more basketball!!! <3

Loves Her Girlz

Hey all! First off, I just wanted to say thanks SO much  for all the meaningful comment y'all left for me. It really made me feel a ton better. I love you all!
My week has been stressful and complicated. Luckily, it's mostly due to school issues, and not so much ED related screw-ups. Only thing is is that I have been downsizing my breakfast. It's like all of the sudden, I am becoming very controlling over breakfast. It's quite odd actually. I thought I had this all figured out. Frustrating too. Uhh! But I am back to my oatmeal tomorrow and am really, really looking forward to it. Like REALLY looking forward to it. Hehehe...I love my oatmeal!

So, here's the days recaps. :)

Wednesday: Overall an okay day, I actually cannot remember a whole bunch. Is that a good thing? Well, anyways, FOODIES!

Breakfast: Special K Vanilla almond cereal, and an apple
Lunch: Organic PB sandwich, veggie chips, and an apple & a clementine
Snacks: Kashi bar with PB, an apple, and dried apricots   (multiply that pic times 5!) 
Dinner: Philly Cheese-steaks (whole wheat bread, roast beef, and veggies with cheese that I just could not stomach.) I got home late from the gym, and they were not fresh. I just ate the sammy without them. It was pretty good! I also had a clemmy for some color.  
Snacks (that I remember and took pics of): ben and jerry's ice cream

Thursday: FOODIES!

Breakfast: Two eggs on two pieces toast (one with yolk, one hard), an apple, and some PB (a good breakfast, YAY!)
Lunch: garden spinach wrap with hummus, ham, provolone, and spinach, pretzels, & an apple
Snacks: kashi pumpkin pie bar, an apple, and some more PB <3
Dinner: pork chops with cinnamon apples (match made in heaven), and egg noodles
Snacks: Pretzels with PB, clementines, and ??? Tehe :)

Friday: TGIF!!! All day I was like, how much more time till the bell, how much time, how much time now? Haha, when the bell rang it was like the most glorious noise ever. After school, I came home and did Power Vinyasa Flow #3. I also did ~ 20 minutes of Gentle Hatha to stretch my body out. It. felt. amazing.

Breakfast: Honey Sunshine cereal, and a Clementine
Lunch: Organic PB sammy, pretzels, and two Clementines and an apple my friend didn't want...
Snacks: kashi pumpkin pie bar, a string cheese, and PB
Dinner: We went over to my grandparents house and they had prepared lots of wonderful foodies including make your own subs, using cold cuts (ham, chicken, salami), cheeses (provolone, American, and Swiss), oil and vinegar, green pepper, tomato. They also had strawberries, pretzels with a honey mustard dip, chips, nuts, and amazing pickles. I had a plate of a sub made with a little oil/vinegar, provolone, ham/chicken, salt and pepper, green pepper/tomato, all on wonderful fresh white bread. You got to live a little. There's nothing wrong with a good quality white bread ever so often. :)
Snacks: (so far!) an apple, and the remaining cookies and cream ice cream

Night night girlies!! Love you all!!

Question: If I wanted to add a tab on my blog like say, "oatmeal" how would I go about? Lots of you all have a space where if you click it takes you to a page of say oatmeal pics, recipes, and sandwich ideas. I want to do that.

Just keep going..just keep going...

Hey girls! I am sorry for the absence yesterday. Let's just say it's been a couple hard days and it is taking a toll on my mentally and physically. I will not be posting like normal tonight and will resume tomorrow night with a MEGA POST! I am truly very, VERY sorry! I just need to take a day or two to chill and not worry about posting/taking lots of pics. I hope you all understand!!! Have a lovely night and sorry again. (!!!)

Much Love,
jess :)

P.S I tried to comment on most people's blogs last night, but some I just didn't get to. Know that I am reading them and will be commenting for sure tomorrow. Sorry lovies!

Strictly the EATS!

Hey there! I really don’t have much to say, other than the fact that I had a wonderful yoga class tonight. It went great. There wasn’t really one focus, so it incorporated lots of different muscle groups. I am in love with eagle pose! Flying eagle (?) is even better! What’s your favorite pose? 

Foodies :)

Breakfast: Maple and Brown Sugar Granola, and a granny smith!

Lunch: organic PB sammy, pretzels, organic apple, and a Clementine

Snacks: kashi pumpkin pie bar, some un-pictured PB (taste test of the new Natural I got-it passed!), another apple, and some dark choc. to tide me over until dinner (I was a HUNGRY girl and without that dark choc. I don’t know if I would have made it, haha!)

Dinner: homemade mac n’ cheese, tomato soup with a few veggie crackers in it (yes, in it! mmm)

Snacks: I just finished this little bowl of heaven: some cookies and cream ice cream AND some Ben and Jerry’s Half baked..DELICIOUS!

Well, off to go relax (SNACK!!) :D for a few and then off to bed. Night and don’t let the bed-bugs bite, ha-ha!
