Sorry

I'm sorry. Anyone that still reads this can see that I am losing interest. I have been taking pictures of my food actually, I just don't feel like putting together blog posts with them at the end of the day. But I am going to make more of an effort to get back into my routine of daily posts. I'm not on track with my book for this month either. I have more than 1/2 of the book left and I've got too many things to do tomorrow to think about reading it. But since I read 2 books last month, I'm not too disappointed.

I think Tonka has an ear infection and I'm taking him to the vet tomorrow. Hopefully, it will be this vet. He he. I'm also hoping to look through a house I am interested in renting. We'll see if that happens. A move might be in my future. Well, it's late so I'll see you tomorrow. Later today actually.

February 22: Meals

I'm pretty sure I am coming down with a cold. This morning I woke up and my throat feels like it's closing up and my ears are totally full of fluid. And the cough started this afternoon. I haven't had much of an appetite, but here's what I've eaten today.

Breakfast: Vanilla yogurt, granola, almonds, and coconut
Drink: Banana Slurpee
(I didn't take a picture of this, sorry)

February 20: Meals

Today went pretty well. My headache wasn't too bad at all, but my tailbone was really bothering me all day. I probably slept wrong or something. I've been told that once you've broken your tailbone it bothers you the rest of your life. Mine only hurts if I sit for a while, like a ball games or when I'm driving. I can't believe it's been a year since I slipped and broke mine. Time goes faster and faster as I get older. Anyway, here is what I ate.
Breakfast: Vanilla yogurt with granola and

Lunch: Cheese quesadilla, chili Frito's, 1 glass of sparkly water

My sister and I are staying at the hotel she works at. We do this often. We order room service, just hang out and watch movies. It's nice because hotels have all of the movies that are in theaters (or were recently in theaters) and we get to watch them and then she takes the charges off our bill! He he. Anyway, I had a ham and cheese omlet, which I ate about 1/3 of. It wasn't very good. I also had a side of hashbrowns and I ate a few of Holli's fries.

February 16: Dinner

My Mom made what we call "Beef O'lay's" for dinner tonight. Yum! It's kind of like a taco salad. Kinda. First you start with Fritos's. Then you put a small layer of chili and then cheese. Next, you add lettuce, tomato, and then top it off with a dabble of sour cream. Sometimes we add avacados or guacamole.

I'm going to start logging my exercise on my posts as well. It has been a while since I exercised on a regular basis, and I have to build up slowly otherwise my knees start acting up and then I stop all together. So tonight's stuff was a little impromptu and I didn't have my knee braces, but it's a start.

Exercise:
Cardio : 21 minutes (walking Marley)
Squats: 30
Toe Raises: 30
Stretching: 5 minutes

February 16: Lunch

Helloo. I have had a relaxing morning so far, I did a few blog posts on my daily blog and watched a few episodes of Prison Break. Lunch was quick. I burned my finger on the pan when I was flipping the tortilla though, damn pan jumped out and got me. I had a cheese quasadilla and a small bowl of chilli fritos. In the other bowl is salsa and a dabble of sour cream. I also had a glass of black cherry sparkly water.

February 16: Breakfast

Good morning! I made President's Day pancakes for breakfast and they were pretty tasty! I also had a strawberry yogurt and water. I took the picture before I filled my glass, but it eventually had water in it. Because it's a holiday I gave Tonka a can of wet dog food too. If he keeps eating like this he'll have to go on a diet soon. Ha ha.

I'm back!

Hi blog friends and stalkers! Okay, I know I was absent longer than I had anticipated, but now I'm back! I had a fabulous dinner party tonight with my family and here are a few pictures. I made beef tacos with refried beans and mexican rice. I ate 3/4 of a taco and about 3 strawberries. I also had one glass of sparkling cider. Even Tonka got a treat tonight with a meal of canned dog food. And from the looks of it, he thoroughly enjoyed it and is now sound asleep at my feet.

And just to get back in the groove of recording my meals, for breakfast I ate a peach Activa yogurt. I didn't take a picture though. And I skipped lunch because I wanted to be extra hungry for my fabulous dinner party!

Also, I am doing well with my other goals. I am a little behind on my book for this month, but I hope to finish it before the 28th! I've been flossing everyday and drinking more water as well.

I've also decided to add an additional bi-weekly goal to my list. I am going to add a new recipe to My Recipology blog at least once every 2 weeks. For those that do not know, My Recipology, is a blog of recipes that I make. I started it months ago, but haven't made much of an effort to keep it up to date. I updated it this evening with the chocolate strawberries and while they are pretty much self explainatory, I like to record even the simple things I make. So check it out!

Taco fixings: Iceberg lettuce, flour tortillas, ground beef, mexican rice,
refried beans, tomatoes, avacado, cheddar cheese

Dessert: Chocolate covered strawberries

Tonka's meal: Serloin beef dinner and busy bone

Weekend Goals

I missed another day of pictures, yeah, yeah, I know. Get over it. I'll be back with pictures Monday. But I thought I would post a few very short term goals. Just stuff I need to get finished this weekend.

1. Scour the bathroom
2. Wash all of the bedding
3. Gather and photograph all of Tonka's too small puppy clothes to sell
4. Do my taxes

February 5: No post..again

Sorry. I am still very nauseous and haven't had anything to eat but Sprite and saltine crackers today. I didn't take any pictures of those. But since there are few people reading this blog, I don't think anyone will be too disappointed. I've just been laying in my bed all day watching Will & Grace and reading a bit of this month's book, Nineteen Minutes. It is pretty good so far, thanks Holli for recommending it. I hope to return tomorrow sans queasy stomach and pictures of tasty food. Goodnight.

February 4: No Post

I've felt rather nauseous for the last few hours and the thought of looking at pictures of the food I ate today makes me quite pukey. I ate breakfast and lunch but no dinner. I'll catch up tomorrow.

February 2: Meals

Today. Ugh. My head was pounding most of the day and I didn't really have an appetite. But here is what I ate. The pictures suck, FYI, and I ate a donut this morning with some headache meds and I don't have a picture of it. But it was delish.
Dinner: Leftover lasagna, 3-bean salad, bread

Snack: Banana slurpee. I am always in the mood for these. Always.

February 1: Dinner

After finishing my post earlier and starting some laundry, I headed to my parents house for dinner. My Mom made something new, lasagna rolls and it was really good. She put the lasagna fixings on the bottom of the pan and then rolled the noodles with the cheeses. We also had 3-bean salad. I could not take a very good picture of this meal, so it doesn't look very good. But I promise you it tasted awesome.

Sorry

I know I have missed posts for the last few days. I'll quickly recap. Friday, I ate pretty well. Apple and english muffin for breakfast, chicken melt sandwhich for lunch, and goolash for dinner. I spent the night at the hotel with Holli Friday night and we watched The House Bunny. I love that movie, it was so funny. Saturday I felt sick most of the day and only ate a granola bar in the morning. That night Holli, Kacee, and I went to the Covey Center for Arts and watched Center Stage's Evolution of Dance. It was AWESOME! I miss dancing and cheer so much!



Afterward, I was pretty hungry from not eating all day and Holli and I stopped at Denny's. I had a piece of french toast, hot chocolate, and scrambled eggs. So now I'm all caught up. So far today I've had this:

Breakfast: English muffin with jam
