hanging out with jillian Michaels hungover :)

so I'm on day 3 of the Shred and REALLY commited to doing the full 30 days because I'm going to Cape May Labor Day weekend!! So some toning up would be great because I'll be running around in a bathing suit and such!

Also: Bonus- this video really makes you sweat! not the I've been doing the elliptical for a half hour and I'm glistening sweat, like Lebron James in the final quarter sweat soo I feel like a new woman after doing it a very sore new woman!

ice cream!


Hi ya'll, ice cream is one of my favorite things in the summer. I just love "summer" foods! Pasta salad, grilled chicken , cut up fruit. So I tested out these Lil' Drums, probably the cutest named food I've eaten in a while! They are packed with a lot of fun in a little package, great choice after dinner. But if just eating as a snack on your doorstep (anyone else do that?) you may be reaching back in the box, there are two flavors in each box after all! I got the chocolate fudge brownie/cookie dough box- I like the brownie better but both were good....I have two more boxes to review! Also get a $1.00 off if you "like" lil' drums on facebook!

Not a bagel but a great change from light bread. I've been making egg sandwiches on these and I have been enjoying it :)


yum! Watery but not in a bad way if you aren't a syrup snob

Products Reviews Continued...

This peanut butter is awesome! And cheap! I've definitely lost my taste for processed peanut butter after eating natural....
I have been putting this in my coffee and monster shakes, and it is creamy and less calories than skim milk :)
These are great! Whenever I get sick of having plain vegetables this is a great way to get a little more flavor and not totally throw away the fact that vegetables are supposed to be healthy.
Portion controlled icecream, it was love at first sight these were veryyyy good! they are smaller than I feel the box portrays but for 160 cals I'll take it!
Also very good! I didnt like the "cookie" on this kind as much it was chalky but the ice cream and caramel was amazing so I'd still reccomend them. They are ungodly expensive but it is summer and they are still cheaper and less embarassing then me running after the ice cream truck :)

Lunch for tomorrow, dessert for tonight


LUNCH! I mashed up some black beans, carrots, broccoli, and then remembered my spinach and put some on top and a slice of provolone cheese...oooh and hot sauce. I am just waiting for the babyfood comments tomorrow and I am not excited about them....

Nobody at my work is what you would call "health conscience" in fact one of my co-workers who is a nursing student stared at me in disbelief after I freaked out when she told me she often eats ramen from the vending machine....Now I am no food snob, but I did manage to get through all 4 years of college without ramen. Pretty sure spaghetti and sauce is the same price and doesn't have 7 days worth of sodium..Okay I realize I drink diet soda so I will get off my soap box...


I just thought you would like to see a "behind the scenes" with all my "raw" ingredients... if you haven't used canned beans and are trying them out, know that they go bad REALLY fast, I mean 3-4 days tops and your fridge will start to smell like you are storing dead bodies.

Okay and dessert time for the night, 1/2 a frozen banana with a spoon of peanut butter and a cup of leftover coffee.....ummm so this skinny caramel macchiatto creamer, I will have to toss this I finally looked at the serving size today 1tsp for 30 cals?!?! yikes its not worth it especially since I like a lot of milk in my coffee.
