lazy saturday :)

That's exactly what this day has been! LAZY! I've been watching true blood episodes! Right now I am watching carrie! It's two here, and I'm still in my pajamas! Crazy, I know! My last day of work is tomorrow, I am so happy :) I am dreading going.. but it's just something I have to do! 
Nothing too new or interesting has happened lately! I find my days boring and repetitive.  I have so much homework.. so thats what 90% of my time off is spent doing. 
Heres what I have been eating lately:
lots of yogurt, peanut butter, and granola!

Cereal

Oatmeal

Homemade Pizza (I was craving it! I don't know why.. I just went with it.)

Lunch Today! (peanut butter sandwich, jello.. you can figure the rest out!)
Its been really nice to take a day off, and relax! I hope you ladies have a wonderful saturday, and the rest of the week! :)

Beauty Rest

Is EXACTLY what I am craving! :) I want to go to bed and sleep for hoooooours! Anyways! I forgot to tell you, but I did go see The Time Travelers Wife.  I was so-so about it.  The book was amazing.. it even trumps twilight in my opinion.  I understand that it was such a long book, and they had to shorten it for the movie.  I wish they showed more in the movie.  But I was very pleased with the elements they did show! I deff. recommend both the book AND the movie! But read the book first :) 
I have been enjoying a lot of things lately :)
Kashi Pizza

These two created a love-child.

Delicious! With the peanuts, carmel, and chocolate. TO DIE FOR!

and of course- honey sunshine oats :)

I started reading Julie and Julia. And I am sorry to say, I'm slightly disappointed. I am just bored... Haha, I think I'll give it a little more time! 

I feel really good lately about my eating. I have been trying to make it more routine.. I still have like two pounds to go, but it just keeps getting easier!! Thank you all for sticking with me! 

Have a wonderful wednesday!

Fall (:

So I had a little free time today, and I decided to drop a little post :) Its the last "unofficial" day of summer, and I already have on my plaid and fall tones. :) Today is my second to last day at work. I decided to dress up a little cuter today. Here's the dress that I am wearing. 
I haven't decided whether to wear my grey converse, or my brown moccasins. 
I have done a couple new things in the last couple days.
1) I went for a run, It was pathetic at least. I could stay at a constant pace for more than two minutes.  Most if it was spent walking. I know that my cardio is pathetic. I haven't worked out for two months, but over ti me I will be able to run :)
2) I actually ATE greek yogurt.  Now, I've tried FAGE plain. Gross. Chobani Vanilla, ehh. But this time I bought chobani strawberry, I added a little sugar.. And I actually liked it.  Maybe over time I will like the plain, but whoo knows :)
Now, at the cheapest price in my area, these suckers cost 1.50, whereas my dannon is .49.  I think I will give myself an occasional treat of G.Y. :)
Here's what I have been eating..

Breakfast for dinner!

I've never tried this flavor before.  I really really liked it. It tasted like a pastry :) It was very sweet, but not too much. It was the same stats of regular luna bars- but an extra 2g of fiber!
I hope you ladies all have a wonderful labor day. Sadly, Mine will be spent working.

I DID IT! :)

I quit! It feels so relieving. I have two more shifts that I am committed to working- but after that I. AM. DONE. Now I can focus on scholarship applications, and school work! So much stress has been lifted off of my shoulders!  Anyways, Since I was at the mall anyways today, I decided to stop by Gap to check out some jeans.  Now I have super long legs. Half the time longs are TOO short. I feel as if my jeans don't fit right anymore since I've gained weight. So I decided to treat myself to a nice pair of gap jeans! I got the long&lean ones :) They are super cute! Here are some of my eats lately :)
Waffles.
Natural Ovens Multi grain bagel, LC cheese and yogurt :)
Turkey sandwich w/ a lot of extras :)
Sorry for the poor quality.  My mom and I went out to dinner. I got a turkey and swiss sandwich on marbled rye (my favorite bread!) with some friess! Now, I am savoring every second that I can eat whatever I want, whenever I want!
Haha. how has your ladies weeks been going?!? Other than stress over school and work- my week as been fine! I finished the time travelers wife! It was so good. I was crying so hard when I finished it :( I REALLY recommend it!  I am seeing the movie tomorrow, I will prob. be disappointed.  I am always disappointed in movies that are made after books! Oh well, I'm sure it will be okay!! 
Anyways, have a wonderful holiday weekend!!!!!

Lovin' the weather!

This weather is my favorite! Cool in the morning and night.. but delightful during the day:) I can wear sweaters and not be too hot ! :) Nothing too interesting has happened lately... I am in a dilemma though.  As you all know, I worked a lot over the summer. With going back to school, I have really cut my hours down.  For some reason my boss just doesn't understand this fact. She is constantly scheduling me when I AM NOT AVAILABLE! I am always reminding her also... Im really getting sick and tired of it. Its stressing me out way more than it should! What should I do? Should I quit? Or suck it up?! Im leaning towards quitting....  I have honestly never quit anything in my life. At this point I am really miserable there.. and I don't know If I should suck it up.. grr...
Anyways! On to eats! 
Here's what my typical school lunch is.
The Luna bar/ protein water is my morning snack.  I typically have a snack (Sunchips, cookies, crackers.. etc) A turkey and cheese sandwich, or peanut butter.  I have grapes and carrots.. Chocolate pudding or yogurt. It is usually boring and repetitive.. so I am not going to post it every day :) haha.
Anyways.. my dinner tonight was Chicken Parmesan ala Lean Cuisine
It definitely did not turn out how the picture looked- but it was pretty darn good.  Most of their ingredients I can read, which makes me happy eating it :)
Last night I had a typical dinner for me! "Healthy" chicken fried rice!

Chicken, mixed veggies, seasoning, and brown rice! Can't forget a little bit of butter :)
Luckily tonight I did not have homework. It was nice to relax for a bit :) I hope you ladies have a fabulous rest of the day :)
