family love

Even though I have really enjoyed the last couple of days with my family, all the comments about my weight are wearing me out. It seems like they come at me all day. It doesn't matter if I am actually eating, I still get comment after comment. Especially from my sister, who insists I look anorexic. For example, last night for the movie (AMAZING by the way!) I bought a diet mountain dew. Personally, I think it tastes way better than mountain dew. My sister had to comment on the fact that it was diet. "Why are you drinking diet?! You don't need diet! Gah, get some fat!" Just comments like that, all day, everyday. It really is overwhelming.

For dessert the other night, I had a slice of pumpkin pie and pecan pie with a mug of cappuccino. I still recieved comments from my brother. "Eat the whole pie!" ugh...

I had an absolutely delicious lunch yesterday. And still, even though I was eating, I still got several comments. "Why are you eating that? Get some meat! You need fat and meat!" I tried to ignore the comments and enjoy my lunch as best I could. I love sauted veggies mixed with salsa and cottage cheese. Delish!

Sauted squash, zucchini, and onion (salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano), with salsa and cottage cheese. Side of leftover green beans. 

My parents took my brothers and smallest sister to our hunting lodge in Tennesse last night. So this morning it is only my sister, her friend and I here. They are still sleeping, haha. They stayed up really late. I enjoyed a long walk on the treadmill this morning. It gave my plenty of time to let go of my frustrations. Afterwards, I enjoyed a great breakfast, and as of right now, I am relaxing and watching food network. Oh, how I've missed TV! (I don't have a tv at my apartment.)

Oatmeal pancake with a drizz of honey. Frozen fruit. Hazelnut coffee. 

Cali and I are putting up the tree in a bit. So excited!

P.S. GO SEE NEW MOON. <3

Team Edward

Great morning =). I was definitely not a part of the crazy morning shoppers this morning. I have no problem getting up early, I just have no desire to go stand in a line for 2 hours with a bunch of bad-breathed people. Instead, I enjoyed cuddling with my sister on the couch while reading a book. Breakfast was its usual yummy self-much like yesterday's breakfast.

fatfreelight wildberry crumb cake yogurt topped with honey almond granola, nutty nuggets, and sliced banana. hazelnut coffee.

Yesterday I knew it would be a bad idea to skip breakfast just because we would be having a big meal later. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! (its also my favorite =) Skipping breakfast would just make me over eat at lunch. So I enjoyed:

fatfreelight honey almond yogurt topped with wheat and barley cereal (nutty nuggets), and sliced banana. hazelnut coffee. 

Plans for today include taking my brother to Walmarts to get game goodies. He is having an Ironbowl party for all of his friends. Afterwards, Cali, my sister, James (a guy she likes) and I are going to see New Moon. I. Am. Excited!!!

=D

gobble gobble

I think it is appropriate for me to list everything...well most things (it would be impossible to list them all)...I am thankful for today. So here goes...

My Jesus.

My amazing family.

My gorgeous, loving, boyfriend who also doubles as my best friend. =)

coffee.

peanut butter. 

my laptop. 

sweet potatoes. 

water. (seriously. i drink it 24/7)

hoodies. 

starbucks. 

vanilla yogurt. 

Bed, Bath, & Beyond. 

m&ms.

sunsets. 

animal crackers. 

Christmas music. 

my cookbook collection. 

One of the things I am most thankful for-the way that God made me. I need to learn to stop apologizing for the way I am. He made me in His wonderful image. I am who I am! 

I wish I could name everything I am thankful for...but, if I tried I would be here for forever. It is time to enjoy some amazing family time! and some turkey! yums. 

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade anyone?

It's an m&m turkey! how cute!

yay for chef!

Many people, including myself, have to travel for Thanksgiving. My chef let us out of class early today because of that. =) Yay for chef! Unfortunately for me, I have to wait on Cali to get out of class as we are driving one car to save gas. Oh well, I don't mind. It has given me a quiet afternoon to myself.

Lunch earlier was absolutely fantastic. Cali stills insists that I am a sicko, but he hasn't tried is so how does he know? 

deliciousness. 

English muffin sandwich. Peanut butter, spinach, turkey, cheese. 

(I nuke it for about 15 seconds...it makes it creamy..mmm) 

In class today, we iced gingerbread cookies that we baked yesterday. Oh I can't wait to have one tonight. I am a crunchy cookie girl, so I adore gingerbread cookies. I prefer them without icing and with a huge mug of cappuccino or coffee. =)

yummo! (the ones in the middle are turkeys...not chickens!)

now this poor little guy can't run away from me. hehe

I am so ready to be home! I've already packed for the long drive. I love it when Cali drives. It gives me plenty of time to enjoy a good book!

What I need to get me through long drives. diet pepsi. larabar. banana. good book!

Only two more hours....

simple song

Wake up here I go, cram it all down my throat, stomach so full that I wish I could choke.

 7 AM my head's already in a spin

As soon as I'm out that door, bam, hits me like a ton of those red bricks.

Can't dig myself out of this highest ditch. 

This madness. 

Mid-day sun beating on the concrete, burning up my feet.

Too many cars on the street, the noise, the red, the green, makes me wanna scream.

5 o'clock now it's bumper on bumper on bumper, horns honking, nobody's looking, but everybody's talking.

It's another day on this highway

I swear sometimes I can't tell which way is up, which way is down

It's all up in my face, need to push it away...

Somebody push it away...so all that I can hear....

is a simple song. 

....................................................................................................................................................................

I love that song.

I really enjoyed the gym this morning. I walked/ellipticalled 4+ miles. It gave me plenty of time to think. I needed it. I could feel myself start to stress about today. School will be easy. There is just so much other stuff to get done before I head to Alabama. That being said, this will be a short post....

Breakfast was inspired by the pies I made last night. (Pumpkin and Pecan) 

1/3 cup of oatbran cooked in 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup soymilk. 1/3 tsp of pumpkin pie spice, 1 1/2 packets of truvia. I toasted chopped pecans and stirred some of those in. I threw some on top as well. It was so good! It made me excited for Thanksgiving! I can't wait for tomorrow!! 

Pumpkin Pie Spice Pecan Oatbran. Hazelnut Coffee.

bitter oatbran? nope!

I had a great devotion this morning, along with a scrumptious breakfast. I read passages from Proverbs (my favorite), Psalms, Isaiah and Romans. I can not wait for church Sunday! That is possibly my favorite thing about going to Alabama for the weekend. I absolutely love my family's church, and I really miss it when I spend my weekends here in Georgia.

I experimented with my oat bran this morning. I am very proud of myself. I melted 1/2 a banana and 1 tsp of Naturally More PB. I tossed that in with 3/4 c of water and 1/4 cup of soymilk, 1/3 cup of oat bran, 1/2 tsp of  cocoa powder, and 1 1/2 packets of truvia. I was scared to add the cocoa powder as I didn't want to make my oat bran bitter. But, it was perfect! Oat bran is so filling, especially with a large cup of coffee! I couldn't finish my bowl!

Chocolate, peanut butter banana oat bran. Hazelnut coffee.

After school yesterday, I went and bought Cali's Christmas present. I am almost done with my Christmas shopping! Only two more presents to get...my dad (I have no clue what to get him!!) and my sister. I know what she wants...it is just a matter of taking the trip to get it.

Because I was late getting in last night, due to stupid traffic after school and shopping, dinner was quick and easy, yet still very tasty. =)

Spinach, tomato, turkey, carrot, cheese salad. (drizzle of peppercorn ranch dressing). Saltines. Sauted squash and zucchini (with dried thyme.) Delish! 

Today's Agenda-

• Finish school project
• School
• Kroger (I have to buy things to make another pumpkin pie, and pecan pie.)
• Bake pies
• Relax with cappuccino and good book.

That concludes my day!

Can't wait for the relaxation part =)

who wants a half eaten pie?

Let me introduce my little buddy. Keurig and I are bffs =). He helps make my mornings great. We meet each morning around 8:15. He gives me a cup of joy!! Whatever would I do without him??

Keurig! <3 bff. 

I worked out 20 extra minutes this morning because I had extra time. I woke up early and couldn't sleep because I was freezing. Anyways, that being said, I was famished. While Keurig was doing his thing, I plopped some shredded wheat cereal into a bowl and topped it with fiber one cereal, frozen berries, and soymilk. yummm....it was so good. Very filling too.

Shredded wheat cereal, fiber one cereal, mixed berries, soymilk. Hazelnut coffee. 

I got so bored yesterday. I called my mom just to talk. She said that I could bake pies for Thanksgiving for her, because she didn't want to do it. I decided to do it....I had nothing better to do, and hey, I love to bake. So Cali and I decided to bake one pecan pie and one pumpkin pie. Well, they smelled SO good coming out of the oven, and Cali and I were starving. Sooo....He had a slice...or two...of the pecan pie. I had a slice of the pumpkin pie. I haven't had pumpkin pie in YEARS. It was absolutely divine. We will be taking a half eaten pecan pie and pumpkin pie, and a whole sweet potato pie to Thanksgiving dinner. My family won't mind...will they?

dinner for two

     Today was the absolute perfect day to sleep in. It is a rainy Sunday. Who doesn't live sleeping in on rainy days? Now that I am up, I have enjoyed a small cup of fiber one cereal with soymilk, and a large cup of peppermint mocha coffee. Cali and I have to do laundry today. Oh, joy. At least that will give me some time to finish a couple school projects.

     We had a great day yesterday. We went to Whole Foods for a bit, didn't get anything, but we always enjoy looking. We are weird like that. I swear we spend half our time in grocery stores. Lunch was quick and easy. I wanted to keep it light since we were going to dinner. Speaking of which...it was amazing.

Spinach salad with boiled carrots, tomatoes, two slices of turkey, salsa and saltines.

 Marlow's Tavern is now probably our favorite restaurant. To  me, it seemed like a really classy sports pub. It was hard to get good pictures of the food, because the lights were dimmed. The food was heavenly though. Cali and I both ate way too much! We were stuffed.

Marlow's Tavern

Our waiter was really good. When we told him it was our first time, he explained the menu to us, and he did an execellent job. The new manager brought us a free appetizer! He stood and talked to us for a bit after learning that we were both culinary students. He was very nice. 

Free appetizer-J.T.'s Kettle Chips. Crispy potato chips topped with blue cheese, tomatoes, bacon and scallions. 

Before the manager brought us the kettle chips, we had ordered asparagus fries. We wanted to try something new. These were amazing! We brought some home =). Cali is going to learn to make them soon. ahhh so good!

Asparagus Fries-thin crispy asparagus with tarragon, citrus aioli

Cali and I both ordered their "infamous" fish tacos. I've never had fish tacos before. SO DELICIOUS. He got a caeser salad as a side, and even though I knew I should get a salad too...especially with all that fried food...I ordered french fries. Their french fries are hand cut in house. They were so much better than soggy fast food french fries. I enjoyed every single one of them! I haven't had french fries in so long! Cali finished off his plate, and  I tried, but wasn't successful. I brought my leftover fish taco home...lunch today! =)

"Infamous" Fish Tacos, Caesar Salad 


Fish Tacos-Blackened Tilapia, Black bean corn salsa, shredded romaine, smoked chili cream served in warm flour tortillas.

Cali's mom is coming to visit us in January. We will deffinitly be taking her to Marlow's Tavern. I can't wait!

Well, enough about food....I'm off to do laundry!

peanut butter, turkey, and cheese sandwich? what?

Don't you just love Saturdays? The laziness of sleeping in...knowing nothing pressing has to get done that day. Cali and I just finished breakfast. We are relaxing and reading blogs. I imagine we will get busy in a bit. But not just yet...we have been going all week .Time for some relaxation. We are thinking about taking a trip to Whole Foods today =) yayness! He is taking me to dinner tonight! I am so excited! We have decided to try out Marlow's Tavern. I've heard a lot of good reviews. I can't wait!

Breakfast this morning was delicious! I toasted chopped walnuts and a bit of granola and threw that on top of some Dannon light and fit vanilla yogurt (my fav). So good!

Vanilla yogurt topped with toasted walnuts, granola, and frozen mixed berries. Hazelnut coffee.

Yesterday, while looking in the fridge, contemplating on how to spice up my lunch (I am tired of the old turkey and cheese english muffin sandwich), I spotted my yummy jar of Naturally more PB...hmmm....

I spread some of that on my English muffin, laid on a piece of cheese and two thin slices of turkey...

When I got to school, I nuked the sandwich for about 15 seconds...

O. My. Goodness.

It is now my new favorite sandwich. It was soooo good. The peanut butter made it almost sweet. Cali called me a sicko. I told him not to hate until he tried it. It was amazing.

For dinner, I sauted diced shallots in a bit of extra virgin olive oil, tossed in some chicken pieces, and a bit of thyme and parsley. I put the chicken on top of spinach and diced tomatoes, and enjoyed a yummy salad! With a side of boiled carrots. Very delish.

Thyme and parsley chicken salad, boiled carrots. 

Dessert was hot chocolate with a tsp of peanut butter =) hehe. 

Enjoy your day! I know I will!

bad day, huge sundae!

Good morning. Have you ever started out having a horrible day, but then it completely turned around and it ended up being a great day? Well, that was my day yesterday. When I got to school, I was having bad stomach pains. The pains haven't been that bad in a long time. On top of that, I was doing horrible on my practical. I was positive that I would get a bad grade. I received a 100%. Ha ha, that was a complete shock. Afterwards, the externship meeting (I was extremely nervous about) went very well. Chef Terawaki was shocked that I had everything done. He asked me to write a report about everything I did, so he could post it on the externship board so I could be an example to other students.

After dinner (split pea soup...first time I've had it...very delicious.), despite stomach pains, Cali and I took a trip to Brusters to get sundaes even though it was freezing cold outside. =) I have never had a sundae from Brusters, and I decided to treat myself so I ordered a Brownie Sundae. That thing was HUMONGOUS. I now know to split it with someone. It was unbelievable. I love ice cream...but it was a bit much. I couldn't finish it all! It was a nice treat though. =)

Great workout this morning. I am completely wore out though. I am going to go take a quick nap before I head to school. Before I go...

Breakfast was YUM.

1/3 c oatbran cooked in 1/2 c water+1/2 c soymilk. I toasted some chopped mixed nuts, and melted 1/2 a banana and threw that in there with 1 packet of truvia. I topped this delicious concoction with 1/2 a banana and some fiber one cereal for some crunch. peppermint mocha coffee. 

Lunch was...

Diet pepsi, sliced apple, cashew cookie larabar

not meant to be slept on

Waking up at 3:00 AM does not sit well with me. I couldn't sleep in my bed. So I tried the couch.

Bad Idea. My couches were not meant to be slept on. They are as hard as a rock.

Good workout this morning. I took Rachel Ray's 365 No Repeats cookbook to read while on the elliptical, ha ha. I want to try some more of her recipes. The ones I have made have been delicious. I wanted to try to sleep some more, but I knew I needed the workout to get me going. Today is an important day! I have a practical (test) at school, and I have to meet with the schools externship coordinator to get my externship in Colorado finalized. I hope everything goes well!

I went to Target last night and saw the CUTEST little plates. I just had to buy them. I couldn't help myself! (pictures later) I am now enjoying breakfast on one of them =)

English muffin spread with Naturally More PB, Warmed orange slices with a drizzle of honey, hazelnut coffee.

I keep having to use Cali's iPhone for pictures, because for some reason unknown to me, my laptop won't read my SD card. It is very frustrating.

I am going to need a large diet pepsi to get me through today. I have a horrible headache from lack of sleep last night. It is a good thing I have a pepsi in the fridge for emergencies like this. =) I have to go get everything together for the meeting.

Have a great day!

Yesterday's breakfast.

Dannon light and fit orange mango yogurt topped with fiber one cereal, sliced banana, and granola. gingerbread coffee.

Target bowls.

Target plates

So cute!

HIDA scan

banana raisin peanut butter oatbran, half a banana, gingerbread coffee

Today is going to be a gorgeous day! I didn't freeze my butt off this morning on the way to the gym! That made me happy =)

My breakfast also made me really happy. I had my first jar of peanut butter oatbran today. It was sooo good. Gah I am stuffed. I couldn't finish it all! I cooked 1/3 cup of oatbran in 1/2 c water and 1/2 c soy milk. I also cooked in half a banana, a handful of raisins, and a tsp of peanut butter. After it was done I stirred in one packet of truvia. It was delicious. Very, very filling.

The doctor's appointment went well yesterday. It took forever though. When the nurse first took me back, she injected a small IV into my arm. Then she sent me back out to the waiting room to wait until the doctor was ready. The doctor called me back about ten minutes later. She instructed me to lie down in a semi-dark room, on a table. She told me that she had two medicines to give me. The first would take about an hour. It was a radioactive medicine that would go to my liver, then my gallbladder. She rolled the table I was laying on under this HUGE machine (kind of scary) after giving me the first medicine through the IV. The huge machine took pictures of my insides for an hour. Next, She injected a medicine that made my gallbladder contract (it gave me cramps...=/). They machine took pictures for 30 minutes. Then I was done!

I was famished after that as I was not allowed to eat or drink anything before the HIDA scan. (That is what the procedure is called.) I had been craving chocolate (yummy =]) so before leaving the house, I packed a snack of chocolate teddy grahams. I know...not healthy...but right then I didn't care.

After changing into my school uniform at the house, I hit the road with a container of fat free light yogurt and a tsp of peanut butter. I made pretty good time. I was only 2 1/2 hours late for class. But I work fast, so I got everything caught up.

I got to the apartment after school, unpacked my car, took a shower and sat down. Completely exhausted and famished (I had two peanut butter rolls for lunch) I decided on a huge mug of tomato soup for dinner. Man, it was sooo good.

tomato soup with a mini saltine =) so cute!

Well, I am off to Kroger to pick up a few necessities for the next two weeks. Have a good day!

frustration, food, and fun.

Do people you love just absolutely frustrate you sometimes?

I love my sister to death. But this morning, she really ticked me off. I was standing in the Church library after service this morning, and she comes up with two of her friends and says, "Hey. (to me. then to her friends she says) See how anorexic she looks?!" Her friend, Kalle, said, "Yea, I was gonna ask if she had gotten taller." My sister said, "No, she just lost a ton of weight." They were talking about me as if I wasn't standing right there in front of them! I just turned back to the books I was looking at and tried to ignore them.

PLUS, before that, Cali got PISSED OFF before the sermon started when he learned that I hadn't eaten breakfast. (I had a slice of watermelon before we left the house, but I had woken up late and wasn't really hungry.) I had packed a Clif bar and a large travel mug of coffee. But, the whole time I was munching down on the bar, He was getting on to me. He gets so upset if he thinks I am not eating enough.

Ugh. Anyways, on a happier note, I did really enjoy that clif bar. I <3>

Crunchy PB Clif bar. Favorite travel mug filled with hazelnut coffee.

Mom made tacos last night, and today I used the leftovers to make a delicious wrap for lunch.

Gah, it was SO good. I sauted onions, squash, and zucchini in a pan with some salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In a small pan on very low heat, I heated a small tortilla with a bit of salsa and cottage cheese on top. After the veggies were done, I put them on the tortilla, and waa la! Yumminess! It was so good. Cali got upset...again....because I didn't put any meat on it. He says I need more protein. To make him happy, I ate some chips and salsa and a bit of rotel later while he was eating lunch.

Tortilla with salsa and cottage cheese.

Sauted squash, zucchini, and onions.

a delicious wrap!

We are going out to eat with all four of our parents tonight. We are going to Santa Fe Cattle Co. FUN! I. Am. Excited.! I love love love their steamed veggies and baked sweet potatoes! So yummy!

I have this gorgeous Sunday afternoon to myself. Well, sort of. Cali is currently under the house, fixing one of our clogged pipes. Mom and Dad had to take my brother to a social or something. My other brother took my smallest sister to his girlfriends house to play with her little sisters. My other sister is at a friends house. So, I am reading blogs, and watching the movie Doubt.

ahhh, diet coke craving is starting to hit me. But, my stomach is hurting from the salsa =/ and soda will definitely not help. So sad for me =(. I guess snack will just have to be an orange. Oh well. It is better for me and I love oranges.

lunch date with my jar of peanut butter

What a great Saturday morning it has turned out to be!

I am enjoying this beautiful morning at my favorite Barnes & Noble. =)

I got to sleep in this morning until 6:30 AM. (7:30 my time.) It felt so wonderful. I watched Rachel Ray until about 7, then decided to make a yummy bowl of yogurt for breakfast. After that, Mom and I watched Prince and Me (LOVE that movie!) while drinking our coffee. Mom had to take Suelita to basketball practice, so I decided to take some time to myself.

Fat free light honey almond yogurt topped with cranberry almond crunch cereal and a tad of fiber one cereal. hazelnut coffee.

I absolutely love Barnes and Noble and I have missed this dear store so very much. I do not have one that is close to where I live in GA.

Oh my goodness. A lady just walked by with a starbucks coffee to go cup...with a straw in it...

Who drinks coffee with a straw? weird. Maybe it isn't coffee...hmmm.

I am looking at my favorite magazine-Everyday with Rachel Ray. and Real Simple. All the recipes and posting all these food pictures are making me famished!

Hmm...what shall I enjoy for lunch. Banana? Apple? Peanut Butter? All three!

I'm going to have a lunch date with my peanut butter jar...=) yumm! oooo, I am craving a huge diet coke so bad...maybe I shall stop at Sonic during happy hour later =) My sister and I do have to go pick up some groceries. Just some simple snacks for my brother and dad to enjoy while they watch the Bama game tonight. Maybe mom will give me a couple dollars so I will be able to quench my craving. hmm...=)

Anyways, I am done rambling. Now on to some yummy random food pics from the last two days.

Yesterday morning-oat bran. This was the first time that I have cooked banana into oatbran. SO good!

1/3 cup of oatbran cooked in 1/2 c water and 1/2 c soymilk, 1/2 a banana, 1 tsp PB, and raisins. I topped it with fiber one cereal and a drizzle of honey.

For lunch I tried my new clif bar. I warmed it in the microwave-it was heaven!

Apple slices and clif bar.

The best boyfriend in the WORLD surprised me with these bars! He knows how much I love peanut butter. I haven't had these flavors yet and I am SO excited!

Crunchy PB Clif bar, PB cookie Larabar

Thursday night for dinner I had this yummy meal.

whole wheat penne pasta with ragu pasta sauce and a side of green beans.

Well, my doctors appointment is Monday morning. All they have to do is a HIDA scan. HOPEFULLY, this is the last appointment! Sunday night, Cali, his parents, me and my parents are all going out to eat. (yummy!) They haven't met yet. Let's hope all goes good!

That's my weekend! It's gonna be a good one =)

I'm going to head back to the house now and fill my tummy with PB! =D i. am. excited.

school anybody?

Good morning! Actually, its a great morning!

I woke up and went to the gym. Came home, showered, and fixed breakfast.

A crumpett (sliced in half) with natural peanut butter, a drizzle of honey, and sliced bananas. I decided to try something different. I topped 1/2 of the crumpett with sliced bananas and put it under the broiler for a couple minutes. It didn't really turn out like I had hoped. I was going for the roasted/caramelized banana effect. It didn't work. But, it was still yummy.

crumpett with pb, honey, and banana. gingerbread coffee.

*Coffee mug from B&N. <3.>

After breakfast, Cali and I took my car to JiffyLube for a much needed oil change. My car is happy now =) I'm glad I got it done today, because I'm not sure my car would have made the 3 1/2 hour drive to AL tomorrow.

I am so excited for today! We have a practical (test) at school today. This is the first practical that I am actually looking forward too. We have to make a three layered birthday cake iced with swiss meringue buttercream and decorated with three pastel pink roses. It is going to be fun! After school, I am going to Cake Art (love Cake Art!!) to get some hi ratio shortening so I can make strawberry shortcake for my dad and brothers this weekend. (it is their favorite). I always spend way to long in that store. I see so many things I need! (want...actually). It takes a lot of self control (and reminding myself that I do not have a job) to only buy what I went in for.

Well, I'm going to go catch up on some blog reading, then get ready for school. Before I go, here is some yumminess from yesterday. =)

Lunch:

Turkey and Cheese crumpett sandwich with a tad of mustard. Baby carrots.

Dinner:

nutrisystem pizza. green beans. (mmm...yummy green beans =])

piggy flu?

My poor brother had the piggy flu last weekend. Thankfully, He is much better now.

Yesterday, I wasn't feeling that great. I kept thinking to myself, "Oh no. If I get swine flu, I'm going to kill my brother for making me sick." I can not afford to get sick! I have already missed school due to those stupid doctor's appointments. I thought I felt my throat starting to get sore, and my chest started to feel congested. BUT, I have realized, it is all in my head.

I feel just fine this morning. I had a great nights sleep last night. I did not want to get up this morning, and I went to bed at 8:45 PM! Thankfully, the gym and my yummeh breakfast has energized me. I can not wait for school! These next three weeks are all about cakes. =) I had so much fun yesterday, learning how to make roses out of decorators icing. I wonder what we will be doing today.

My breakfast this morning: 1 1/4 cup of shredded wheat cereal with 1/2 cup of plain soymilk. Topped with fiber one cereal and frozen mixed berries. Jamaican coffee with 1 packet of truvia and a tad of peppermint mocha creamer. mmmm =) One of my favorite things to do while enjoying such yumminess is catch up on blog reading. So relaxing =)

shredded wheat cereal with fiber one, frozen berries, and soymilk. coffee.

Lately, I have been struggling with eating enough. I think that I am eating enough, but Cali tells me I am not. He gets frustrated with me for not getting enough calories. I go through stages. Sometimes I think, "Wow, I'm really not healthy. I need to eat more." Then other times I think, "I am just fine!! I eat plenty and sometimes too much!" I am scared to gain weight, even though I know I need too. I don't know what to do. I don't know how to make myself eat enough to gain back all the weight I lost. =/ I need help. I have cut back on my workout (I used to workout for an hour. Now, I just do 30 minutes about 4 days a week) and I have started eating bigger breakfasts. But I have still lost weight. I even let myself splurge more often. I had Ben & Jerry's frozen yogurt the other night! Yet, no weight gain. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions?

Well, I'm going to go relax and finish reading my book, until it is time for school. Too da loo!
