Apparently, I’ve been eating enough to sustain several orphans.

So, I joined this WW shenanigan.
Apparently my go-to breakfast is only 3 points. So yay.
Let’s see how this goes.
Ice cream makes up half of the various items in my “favorites” list.
That should surprise no one.

This.
This is what the cool kids do for Spring Break. Head to Conn. during the off season to pretend to be Gilmore Girls.
The lovely Sarah shows off our food/entertainment display.
Side note: I’m in awful need of a girls weekend.
Oh, Food.
I’m considering weight watchers online. Has anyone had any experience with such? Even though I know a few people who have had success with the program, I think I shy away from it because the whole WW thing just reminds me of middle aged soccer moms. Online though, I think I may have a shot. Zach and I have decided to split kitchen. Turns out he’s been eating a lot of things he’s...
I'm Having Another Cup of Coffee...
Pick an anthem to start the day and dance to it while you’re getting ready for the day (mine is as much of Dr. Horrible’s Singalong Blog as I can listen to while I’m getting ready!) & as soon as you can when you’re finished for the day.
Do something you loved as a child. One of the museums in my city has a giant boat in the middle of it, set in a reproduction of a harbor town, and...
Genius Inventions.

some inventions that could come in pretty handy..
The Pizza Slicer, Slipper Lights and Book Spread Thingy were probably the most useful.
I love them all besides the gloves. And am I suppose to assemble the chair myself?! >:[
Hey look, it’s my momma. In rifle team coach mode.
She’s so cute in her orange jacket.

Ugh, I need to shower today.
runningwhere:
It’s like the scariest thing in the world.
I don’t have an injury.
But every day I shower this is the thought that runs through my head.
I hate showers. Especially when I have to wash my hair.
You know that at some point you’re going to be damp and cold and damp and cold are my least favorite feelings.
So, True Confession Sunday, I dislike bathing as much as your...
Question
Is a calorie a calorie a calorie? Because while I could eat oatmeal, veggies, fruit, grilled chicken and salad most days, sometimes I just want to consume the same number of calories through a box of mac and cheese and a brownie sundae.
Also Bumming Me Out
Work blocked tumblr.
Lame
So, it’s obvious this whole “workout but don’t really pay attention to what I eat” thing isn’t working.
Damn it.

What I Learned Last Night
I would make a terrible nurse.
You know that nurse who’s very friendly and calls you sweetie and asks if you need another pillow or a refill on your ice water? That nurse who coddles you a little bit, the way your mom did when you were little and home sick from school? The nurse who either really does care that you feel badly or is a good enough actress that you believe she cares even if...
We Have A Man Cold Situation Over Here
Just going to leave that there.

Body Attack!
I couldn’t get to my scheduled Body Pump class today so I substituted a Body Attack! class.
Bad move.
The entire class centered around jumpy jogging/aerobics moves.
I am not a fan.
The class should have been called “Calf Attack!”
No thanky.

The Ultimate Simple Pleasure
is a well made grilled cheese.
Butter.
Bread.
American cheese (I prefer white to yellow).
you might like your fancy cheeses, but for the ultimate grilled cheese you need the perfect gooeyness of good old fashioned processed American.
Cook; covered, over medium heat.
Cut diagonally.*
Enjoy.
*It’s been proven by extensive research that it just tastes better that way.
Why is it so miserable?
I hate putting laundry away more than any other household task.

Bruno Thoughts Tuesday
Look into my eyes…. looook into my eyes…and drop something yummy on the floor.
Someone Call The Girl Police
..but I seriously have never been interested in purses.
I beat the hell out of my purse. I fill it full of crap and bang it around my house/car/workplace. I carry the same purse for six months at a time. My purse is a graveyard of crumbs, receipts, and half used lip balms.
The idea of spending more than $30 on an empty bag…I just can’t you guys.
Case in point, when I was in Milan...

One More Before I Make Myself "Be Productive"
Desire: A service I can inform of my dislikes (asparagus, artichokes, seafood of all kinds, olives) that will email me recipes devoid of those things on a weekly basis.
Because I hate that half of the recipes in my cookbooks are sea creature recipes and I’m all, “I’m bored of all of this!” in my normal menu rotation.
And, let’s face it, I’m really lazy.

Thumbs Down
Naked Protein Zone gets a big “gross” from this girl.
Too much pina colada, too much whey protein powder.
Grainy grainy grainy.
Add it to my list of protein drinks that someone’s told me “No, really! It’s good!”
Yea, really, it’s not.

Using Tumblr as a Planner
since I, of course, forgot mine at home.
On the menu this week:
the interesting chicken/red pepper/orzo dish from Fitness magazine
lentil soup (to freeze for lunches)
cheesy chicken and potatoes in the crock pot
homemade pierogies
soup/salad and sandwiches
a roast? Not sure about this one
pork loin
You Know I Had A Late Night When
Lunch is a desperation Lean Gourmet and two oranges.
Usually I s’lad it up for work day lunches.
s’lad=salad, obviously.

Hey, Look at That
I made a phone call today!
Woo for doing “work” when at work.
I have seen motorcyle ice racing and it is an experience I don’t need to ever relive.
I did have a beer and pink cotton candy though.
Epitome of class.
I watched Biggest Loser at the gym on Tuesday and the contestant that wrote his goal weight for the week on his arm in permanent marker stuck with me.
I’m tempted to marker my own arm with my weekly GW, but given that I live in The Real World and not on the BL Ranch, people would probably just think I’m weird.
“It’s motivation! Not crazy! I swear!”

Confession
I’ve having a really hard time concentrating because all I can think of is how much I would murder a pizza right now.
I’ve been on a huge pizza kick lately, and I’d happily eat it many times a week. My husband won’t let me, thankfully.*
I didn’t even really like pizza when I was younger. It was very “meh” to me. Then somewhere around college the switch...

Grade school.
Specifically:
library day (and the collection of American Girl books)
smelly stickers and fruit shaped erasers
my saddle shoes and maroon knee socks (private school girls represent)

With only one tea bag left
I may have grossly underestimated the amount of tea it’s going to take to get through this day.

Routine
Go to Body Pump—> feel sore for two days—>whine—>feel better—>go to Body Pump.
Repeat over the last few weeks.
Oh hello back muscles, nice to meet you.
PS. Ow.
PPS-I’ve done more squats this January than I think I’ve done in my past 24 years of life combined. I also do not have the coordination to do the required amount of lunges. So if you see...

Things I Want This Morning
A pile of waffles.
A red pepper/mozz/fancy bread sandwich.
To go back to bed.
I have:
an apple and a frozen breakfast sandwich.
11 more hours to work.
a ticket to motorcycles on ice tonight.*
*just for the record there is little I care less about than motorcycles and coldness. If there is screamy music I may not survive. The things I do for my husband.
