It’s a Scorcher

Whew! It is SO hot outside today!  Sierra and I started out this morning with a little mini- boot camp.

• 100  jumping  jacks
• 5 crunches
• 40 moves on each side of this awesome shoulder move!
• 1 minute of wall sits
• 100 jump ropes

Then we played tennis for a little while. It was so hot, we both were a little absent minded during our tennis session. By the end, we were both so ready to be done!

Before the workout, my dad had made some cinnamon toast, and I had a little bit of scrambled eggs. (sorry there’s no picture)

I don’t have too any other plans for the rest of the day. One of my friends had her wisdom teeth out, so I may go visit her in a little bit 🙂

Happy Saturday!

Girls Night

For dinner tonight I made a quick salad. I added some baby spinach, some (nutritionally deplete) iceberg lettuce, carrots, and almonds. I topped it with balsamic vinaigrette.

 

Soon after dinner, I met my friend Sierra here at my house, before heading to the movie theatre. Friends with Benefits was great! It was cute and funny, and not one you had to think about. I loved it!

At the movies I snacked on some almonds and dried apricots, as well as a chocolate chip brownie Larabar. No way was I going to pay those ridiculously high prices for concessions, especially after dinner!

I have plans to play tennis, and do a mini boot camp with Sierra tomorrow! Gotta get some rest!

Night!

Busy Busy Busy!

Sorry there was no post yesterday! I was so busy with Zumba, and tennis starting for school, that I had no time!

This morning I woke up a little on late side- 8:30! That’s okay though because I went to bed early last night, and I guess that was just my body’s way of telling me how much i really did need the sleep! My arms are really sore this morning! I did a lot of weights work at Zumba, and my arms are feelin’ it this morning!

For breakfast I had a Vitatop. I had the Deep Chocolate flavor and ohmygoodness! yummmm! it tasted just like chocolate cake! I found these at Target yesterday, and HAD to get them! 

After running a few errands and heading to the grocery store, I came home and had a couple almonds and dried apricots. I’m headed to the movies tonight with my friend Sierra, and I had already packed these as a movie snack, so I just took a couple out of the container. 

Later on, for lunch, I ate this new Kashi Spicy Black Bean Enchilada meal, that I also got at Target yesterday.

It was just okay it was pretty spicy and I’m not really too big of a fan of spicy foods.

We’re seeing Friends with Benefits tonight! I’m excited! I LOVE Justin Timberlake 😉

Tennis!

I’m going to play tennis tonight with some of my favorite girls! Me and my 3 best girlfriends are going to play tennis tonight. I’m going to be busy in the next couple days because tennis is starting back for school. I’m so excited! I’m ready to get back into it! Getting my schedule changed this morning reminded me that school is fast approaching! uh oh. My schedule this year is pretty tough : Biology HN, Communication Skills HN, Chamber Singers, Algebra II HN, World History HN, Pottery, English HN, and Pre-Cal HN! whew! I’m going to be so busy this year!

Trying it Out Myself

  Last night, as I mentioned, I tried making a Raspberry Vinaigrette  recipe that I saw on the Today Show. What ended up happening however, was I ended up just mixing ingredients  until it tasted perfect 🙂 First thing in the blender were some raspberries. Probably about 1 cup. Then I added 3 tsp. Sesame Seed oil, followed by equal parts of honey, and red wine vinegar. Add a little salt and pepper, and Voila! yumminess!  

For breakfast this morning i made a bowl of Harris Teeter brand Apple Cinnamon oatmeal, with some toppings of Craisons, Bear Naked granola. Simple,quick and easy, because I have to get going this morning. I’m off to go get schedule changes at my school. ughh.

Tortilla Soup!

Tonight I made Mama Pea’s Tortilla Soup! Can you say yummmmmm? Oh my goodness, it was so good. Thanks Mama Pea for yet another fabulous meal! Other meals from Mama Pea that I have made are her Sesame Lime Sweet Potato Fries with Creamy Hoison Sauce, and her Sloppy Josephine’s!  

 

Can’t wait until the new Teen Mom tonight! Any of you Teen Mom fans?!

I’m off to go try to make a Dressing recipe I saw on the Today Show. I’ll let you know how it goes!

Windows Live Writer!

After hearing about it from so many other bloggers, I finally decided to start using Windows Live Writer! So far I REALLY like it! I’m going to try to update the blog more, and really get back into blogging. I love reading blogs, and so It’s time to get into my own little blog- groove 🙂

My summer so far has been really fun! Filled with tons of friend time, exercising, and fresh fruits and veggies. One of the things I love most about summer is all of the fresh food available! 

Have any of you heard about the Asheville Vegfest? I was DYING to go, but I just found out I won’t be able to because I had already agreed to go on my Youth Group’s Rafting trip to Tennessee 😦 Check them out though, because it seems totally awesome!

Happy Tuesday!
