I am BEOWOLF!

Marc always says that out of nowhere he'll scream I AM BEOWOLF! LOL!

I didn't blog yesterday because I was WAY too busy chatting it up with my awesome sissy. We have decided that during my spring break from school that Marc and I will go and visit her and Tim and while we are there *DRUMROLL PLEASE* we are going to run our first race ever! TOGETHER! We are going to do a 5k. I'm a little worried since I can't run outside BUT I'm getting an awesome treadmill that I'll train on.

We are following this schedule.

In weight loss news, I've lost 2.4 pounds this week...yay!

I also did this Yoga program which was actually really informative, it had half an hour of meditation in the beginning and then went into the yoga. This one was very much for inner peace and self awareness more than weight loss. I liked it just for the educational benefits, but now that I know the way to breath, relax, and meditate correctly I can move on to harder moves and a faster pace workout. Here's the Youtube link.

I did my projects for history class yesterday and was really proud of myself! I still have to do an essay tonight for english class but I know I can get it done fairly easily. I'm going to start writing at 8 and hopefully be finished by 10. It's the first (and last in this class) essay with the MLA formatting and work cited page.

So now that I've lost that 2.4 pounds I'm in a new category of weight loss, I'm down a decade if you know what I mean and it feels great! It's amazing how confident it can make you feel! Here I am yesterday before my oral exam for history. I still have a ways to go, but I know I can do it!

That's my natural wave to my hair, I hate it, which is why you will normally see it curled or straightened. I left it this way because I had no time left! Plus the lights in my house are florescent so that's why I look all weirdly yellow (including my hair color lol)

For Lunch today I made my favorite standby: Bok Choy with Bacon, but this time I added a couple of slices of rye bread! This bread is so good (I buy it from the mexican grocery store) that I don't have to put anything on it for it to taste good! Just toast it and enjoy YUM!





For dinner I was going to make porkchops, green beans, and mashed potatoes but I ran out of time, so I decided to have....


I got their Veggie sub without Mayonaisse. I love this one because it has avocado in it, perfect to get my healthy fat in for the day! On the side I had a serving of their Thinny Chips, (It's just reduced fat) and a diet coke.


now I must get to work on my persuasive essay, I hate to have to but it's a must. Let's see how long it takes me to finish!

Schoolday highlights

Today is Tuesday which means....YOU GUESSED IT! school!!!

I started out with English and tried not to fall asleep, got home at 9:30am and totally crashed until noon. I didn't wanna get out of bed this morning boo hoo!



I had to get myself up though because my other class downtown starts at 1pm. I ate a pb&j and booked it downtown. IT WAS SO COLD!! I have to walk about 5 blocks to college so I was frozen icicles by the time I got to class.

After school let out I went to the library and picked out these books:







That last one might be hard to see but it is a polish book with audio cd's that help you learn Polish. I really need to learn it because today I was getting ready for work at about 4pm, I'm blow drying my hair and watching TV in my little after shower dress thing like this big:



(trust me i know I don't look like this LOL)

and I see Nana's head poke through the doorway! TALK ABOUT SCARE ME TO DEATH! She was talking to me in polish and I kept saying i don't understand, I don't understand, until she finally told me she was looking for Aspirin and had a headache. poor thing. I gave her some Motrin and put her in bed. She's lucky she didn't get an eyeful if you know what I mean.

Well anyway back to the sequence of events:

The library is located across the street from The Milwaukee Public Museum and they have a beautiful butterfly exhibit! I got to see the butterflies flutter around in their room!
I tried to take a picture but realized a little too late that my camera's SD card was in the laptop at home. Here's the butterfly wing!

I got home and was soo hungry so I made up a really yummy recipe! I also failed to take a picture of it :( because I left my camera in the car, and I was NOT going to go out and get it! COLD!

I named the recipe Bacon-y bok choy with sunny side egg

Are you grossed out? You shouldn't be it was sooo good!

3 slices chopped bacon
1 head of bok choy
1 clove of garlic, pressed or minced
1 egg

Cook the bacon until slightly starting to give off it's fat. Add all of the bok choy, stir continuously until the bacon is almost crisp and the bok choy has lost some of it's rawness. Add garlic and egg in the middle of the greens. cook until sunny side! Serve with greens around the egg. This would bee good with spinach, or swiss chard too! Eat your greens!

I also watched Dr. Phil's housewives (I'm so addicted to that show).

Now I am at work and watching the clock.. just an hour and a half left!

Goodnight!
