Eat Day!

Ok one thing I must confess is I have an eat day where I eat anything and then do good on all other days. This was my day yesterday in no particular order:

cake
cake frosting
sauteed squash
sauteed zucchini
sticky rice w/ hot sauce
fruit/vegetable smoothie
oriental chicken salad
cheese stick
bagel w/ cream cheese
milk
water
chips
crackers w/ hummus

I think that is it. But the best part about this is the fruit/vegetable smoothie. It cleans me out and then in the morning my lemon/peppermint water cleans me out. Not that you wanted to know how much I poo but pooing is good for you. You know your body is getting rid of the bad stuff when you poo.

Something exciting to talk about. I won 4th place in VBL and that is pretty freakin exciting. I can now go buy pants that fit. :) Thank you so very mucho grande.

What do you eat?

I have noticed a lot of people posting what they eat so I figured I would post mine too. Might as well, right?!

breakfast: water w/ drop of lemon and peppermint oil (this usually cleans my system out) then orange juice with reliv

snack: cheese stick

lunch: i have been eating cabbage, carrots, rice noodles with fish sauce and soy sauce mmmm

snack: hmmm lately it has been DQ (just tried an oreo and brownie blizzard, i think it is my new fave)

dinner: last night i made enchiladas with sauteed zucchini. i am a sucker for the zucchini

i find for food it is not so much what i eat, although i do want it to be healthy, it's about portion control.

confession: i have a huge confession to make. whenever i go to the post office i always seems to glance in the trash can. it just happens. and when i see magazines in there i tend to gander at them. why pay a subscription to a magazine if you are just going to throw it away?! anyways i looked today and there was a victoria secret swimsuit sale magazine. i grabbed it because i have been wanting to take progress pictures in a sweet bikini. but i am still talking the man into that one. sheesh!! glad i got that off my chest (and for the record i dont read the mail or even touch i just look to see if there is magazines ;) )

Yummy Recipe

I really liked Smaller Fun Pants idea of trying a new recipe a week and I really just love doing new things. (even if it does take some talking into it) I found this recipe through the pampered chef Season's Best recipe book. It is only $1.00 and it has a about 10-15 recipes. Very Nice. Anyways the name of it is Thai Peanut Chicken Stir-Fry Salad. I love Thai food and my man spent a couple years in Thailand so I always like trying to make Thai food for him. It turned out beautiful except I didnt chop the romaine like I was supposed to but oh well. It was still delicious!!
