Sunday Spike Dinner

Whole wheat penne pasta w/ creamy pesto sauce (pesto sauce mixed w/ Greek yogurt), tossed w/ sun-dried tomatoes & chopped up salmon burger paired w/ artichoke & garlic butter dipping sauce = D

I really don't think I'll be able to eat all that pasta, just like last Sunday but I won't make myself sick or hurt my stomach trying. I am thankful for such a yummy Spike dinner though!! My little sister hates me b/c she bought a Stoffer's Chicken & Penne pasta w/ Creamy Pesto sauce dish & had that for dinner the other night. She just tried my pasta & said it was worlds better. Whole wheat pasta wins again!! Got my picky 11 yr old nephew to try it & he loved it (wouldn't eat my mom's whole wheat spaghetti b/c it didn't taste good though)!! My sister says I just have the cooking Midas touch = p People love my food & my nephews tend to prefer it over anyone else's cooking = D

Alright, enough bragging. Hope everyone had a great weekend! = )

So last night's dinner was awesome! I haven't had artichoke in YEARS & this was my first time ever making it myself. Turned out perfect!!

Lemon pepper salmon burger, cherry tomatoes marinated in white & balsamic vinegars w/ rosemary garlic seasoning, garlic & pepper, artichoke steamed w/ basil, garlic & sea salt, and Greek yogurt w/ champagne pear vinaigrette dressing mixed for the sauce, all drizzled w/ 1tbsp of butter = D

I'll be having artichoke again for dinner (if it's still there come dinner time), along w/ some whole wheat pasta w/ pesto. Today is my Spike day, so uping those calories to 3000.

I had an eggo waffle w/ 1 tbsp of Nutella, 4.5 slices of turkey bacon & 1 scrambled egg. I'm not sickly full, but more full than usual. It was a good breakfast though. One I don't mind enjoying once a week but I think I'd die if I tried to eat that everyday. My food is less planned out today but then again along w/ my breakfast I made my nephews blueberry pancakes w/ fruit. Cleaned my mom's kitchen & the mess I made in my sister's kitchen, so I haven't had much time to think about today's meals. I'm watching/listening to Prince of Persia right now (already saw it in theaters), so once I'm done on here I'll start thinking about food (if my stomach allows my brain that possibility).

There will be a long walk today to return the movies I rented but no major exercise. Hoping today is relaxing & a far better day than yesterday.

Hope everyone has been having a wonderful weekend! = )

Had a good day, decent sleep last night. Got in more than 10,000 steps, burned more than my goal of 2,700 cals, and made at least a 1,000 cal deficit again today. OH & I went to Old Navy for their buy 1 get 1 free on their workout cloths so I got 2 pairs of yoga pants for $21!! Yes, it was a good day all in all = D

Watched The Killers earlier w/ one of my nephews. We liked it, it was cute. Of course Ashton Kutcher being at his hottest doesn't hurt either = ) Also had an amazing find today. Barefoot made a wine champagne combo out of my fav wine & champagne; Moscato & Supmante!! I'm super stoked & having a glass now. Very yummy but I will practice self control & have only this ONE glass!!

Now time to read my youngest nephew a bedtime story (wish I had known that BEFORE I started drinking, lol) & then time to watch Why Did I Get Married Too?

Night all! Hope everyone's Fri went well & can now relax a bit for the weekend = )

So despite leaving my coffee in my mom's car when she dropped me off on campus this morning, the day went surprisingly well. I went to Starbucks & broke my "no venti" rule b/c I had had a grande 6 shot mocha on Tues & it took more than an hour to muscle through that thing. So I went w/ a venti & for the sheer hell of it made it a white chocolate mocha which I know has more sugar/calories than a mocha. I gave up my 2 granola bars that I had planned for snacks today. Also rearranged all the item amounts for my dinner tonight to get myself to my RDI. Happy to report that I had surpassed my daily step goal by 577 steps over 30 mins ago & it's only just after 7pm here. So I'm happy. I have another walk planned today to release any other pent up nervous/anxious energy so that I can sleep well tonight. So it turned out to all workout in the end = D

I was glad to turn over my paper in my sociology of wealth & inequality class & lecture wasn't terribly boring. I had my first exam of the semester in my child/adolescent psych class & I'm pleased to say that I believe I got a high B at the VERY least. Also had my first quiz in abnormal psych. He ended up giving the entire class a pass. He wanted us to see what the quizzes were like, although this was unusually long compared to his normal quizzes. So we all got 100%, but in reality I got 13 out of 18 which was better than the majority of the class. That made me smile as well as realize why he grades on a curve. I think I'll wait till the end of the semester before telling him that he works w/ my mom. I don't want to put myself into a position I can't get out of by making said statement.

So the sun has finally just set & my tummy is growling. Time for that final walk of the day, then coming home to cook dinner - zucchini noodles, YAY!! So glad my weekend has started. It's always weird to have a regular 4 day weekend but considering all things this semester, I'm so very grateful for it. = )

***ADDED LATER***
No pic as the battery in my camera is dead. But tonight's dinner was another experiment combining odd flavors together, so I felt like I was going out on a limb. Turned out to be a TOTAL success!! I cannot believe how much I had forgotten my passion for cooking & creating new dishes! It would be nice if I could afford to do it every single day, but I appreciate every little opportunity I get to cook like this. Anyway, this is what dinner was: Zucchini & summer squash noodles, turkey bacon, extra firm tofu marinated in sesame & hot chili oils, mildly spicy Thai peanut sauce, onion flakes & basil, garlic, papaya mango salsa, sauce made from greek yogurt & champagne pear gorgonzola dressing, and cayenne pepper. A tad bit above my heat capacity, but absolutely FANTASTIC! Lovin' it!

Also, it's 10pm & I know I have some more walking around before I actually get in bed but my walk before dinner kicked butt! I went from 10,577 steps to 14,330 steps!! And all those steps today were taken in flip flops!! Lol, bad I know & tomorrow I will have some nicely formed blisters, but I think it was worth every single one. I came home feeling so very relaxed & I think sleep will come easy tonight.

Night FS buddies!! = )

Ceebee, this is for you, I got over 6 hrs of sleep last night = p

But here it is nearly 230am and I have to be up at 645 to get some last minute info from my mom regarding my grandparents so that I can finish my paper for my sociology of wealth & inequality class. I can tell you right now I'm getting a little ticked w/ teacher who want to be vague about what they're looking for in writing assignments. Either way it's "done" and I won't have to worry about it. I'll spend my free 1.5 hrs in the morning studying for my child/adolescent psych exam that I have @ 2pm (so glad my morning class got canceled to allow me to get some sleep right now). Then during my 3.25 hr break I'll study a bit more for that exam & then begin to majorly scan through my abnormal psych text (which I haven't even opened) to possibly pass my quiz that I have @ 5pm. If you can't tell by the above statements, I am SO not w/ it this semester. It doesn't help that I don't even want to be doing any of this. But as I mentioned in my last journal, I hope to have a schedule laid out for myself. This whole not sleeping, mass amounts of caffeine may have worked at 25-27, but it sure as hell doesn't work anymore. I'm too old for this shit & I cannot wait to be done w/ college to get on with my life. I've been thinking of "Another Brick in the Wall" ALOT lately & just how much the phase "I don't need no more education" runs through my head to that melody.

Food has been good as it usually is. Getting my steps in definitely makes me feel better about not working out, and seeing the calorie deficits I'm creating is making me smile. Do I know if it's making a difference? Not exactly. Being that I started wearing the BMF on the night of the 1st, I think I'll have my next weigh-in/measurement day be the Oct 2nd so that I'll have a nice even round month of date to go on. My birthday is Oct 3rd so hopefully I will have good news as a gift to myself. But either way, I'm glad to just not be living on toast & caffeine as I normally would under stressful school situations as things are now.

Alright, I think 10 mins of journaling is enough for now. Aiming for 4 hrs of sleep so that I don't need an extra caffeinated beverage in my day (in place of food).

Night FS = )
