i dream of skinny jeans

ignore the google image searched pic and focus on the text of the JPG above.

i found some rollerblades in my parent’s garage and went rollerblading tonight. despite the fact that i looked like a knucklehead going down the driveway it was great. i used to never excercise while visiting my parents so i’m proud i got off my butt and did something fun. i’m definitely going to do it tomorrow. it was relaxing and energizing. i might just have to pack them in my suitcase when i head home. :)

I survived Crossfit. I loved it in fact. Now i’m desperately trying to figure out a way to go when I go back to Cali.

Maybe I can use The Secret and a way will magically appear. That’d be nice. I loved the class atmosphere. Mostly I liked the constant encouragement and coddling. It’s nice to have someone telling you “Great job!” while you’re doing something hard and walk away from a work out feeling like a badass. Stranger things have aligned themselves for me in my life. Why not this?

after not sleeping on a red eye last night i’m going to my first crossfit session tonight. pray for me.

thinking it over i realized that even if i was still following weight watchers I have totally eaten within my points range the last week and a half that i’ve been trying to do the zone

so zone or no zone i’ve found a way to eat that has cut my cravings for sweets and mindless snacking down to zero and keeps me on track for weight watchers with out effort and i lost a pound this week. i just want so much to look good for this event december 6th. i need it. i need that feeling of confidence in my body and looks again from with in, not from what anyone else says.

i’m gonna keep on.

eating has been easy, doing everything right

SO WHY DO I FEEL LIKE I’M ONLY GETTING BIGGER/FATTER?

some of what i ate today. also went to dance class tonight. soooo fun but barely sweat a drop. moving is moving. better than nothing. i’m so not going to beat myself up for going to the gym on the reg.

i just read (or tried to read the label to my zone bar) ummm yeah i’m not going to be eating these more than once a week now. it’s glorified crap. my ass deserves better than that. so does yours.

“A Modern Family TV Dinner”- Vegetarian Meatloaf with Cauliflower Mash and Veggies

This dish was inspired by two of my favorite shows right now. On Wednesday nights you can find me on the couch with my eyes glued to the TV. Like many of you, I am a huge fan of both Modern Family and Top Chef. Last week on Top Chef, the quick-fire challenge asked the chefs to create a TV dinner inspired by a show.

So in an effort to create a TV Dinner, I used the idea of a “Modern Family” dinner by creating a healthy, vegetarian TV dinner. Enjoy!

What You Need (Serves 2):

For The “Meatloaf”:

1 Pkg. Seitan (diced)

1 Cup Chopped Onions

1 Pkg. Sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms (roughly chop)

1 Cup Lentils (rinsed and drained)

Onion Powder (to taste)

Garlic Powder (to taste)

Pepper (to taste)

1/4 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Set Oven to 400 Convection

1. Preheat a greased saute pan on medium heat. Add the onions and mushrooms to the pan and cook until the onions are almost clear and the mushrooms are tender.

2. Add half of the mushroom mixture to a medium bowl. Set the rest of the mushrooms aside. Add half of the seitan to the bowl as well as the lentils. Use a hand blender to puree the mixture. Once it is a smooth consistency, add the rest of the mushroom mixture, setian and cheddar cheese. Fold the mixture until well mixed.

3. Grease a cookie sheet. Using your hands, form the mixture on the tray into “meatloaf” shapes about 1/2” thick. It should create about four pieces.

4. Place tray in oven for about 35 minutes. Then remove from oven, flip the patties and place back in the oven for another 10 minutes.

For the Cauliflower Mash:

What You Need:

1 bag Frozen Cauliflower

1/2-3/4 Cup Sour Cream

Butter (optional)

Salt/Pepper (to taste)

1. Cook cauliflower according to package. Puree the cauliflower and sour cream with a hand blender. Season to taste.

Le sigh…

decided to weigh myself today.

the good news: I’m down 1 whole pound!

the bad news: last week’s weigh in of my highest weight in my entire life wasn’t a fluke.

i’ve been told i shouldn’t weigh myself for another 3 or 4 weeks. we’ll see if i can keep to that rule.

also i put a note card on my bulletin board in my room proudly announcing to myself, to anyone else who walks in my room (including my boyfriend), to the universe my intent “REACH GOAL WEIGHT: 115lbs” that’s right I said actually it. I said it out loud. Not some vague “get to a healthy weight” goal, a real concrete goal. It’s right in my face when I wake up in the morning. It’s there. And now I have see to it that I achieve it.

1 down 14 more to go you guys.

enjoy it. relish it. soon people will only know you as the skinny you and you’ll have to come up with new and interesting ways to be complimented on your looks:)

or better yet you’ll come to meet people who will only have known you as skinny and don’t feel the need to compliment you on your body at all because they’ll assume you’ve always been your skinny weight.

one-twenty-five:

I felt skinny-ish this weekend and must admit I got lots of compliments.

It’s weird because when people compliment me I can usually tell whether they’re implying I look good because of the weight-loss, without directly saying it or if they just mean I look nice.

Weight Loss compliment
Boy: “E, You look really good”
E: “Thanks”
Boy: “No, like really, really good”

Regular compliment
Boy: “E, You look good”
E: “Thanks”
