Chug-a-Lug

Morning!!! (almost afternoon!!!) I have been a hangry chica today!! I'm sitting here chug-a-lugging on my H to the izzo (okay, that was lame), and chomping on my Cinnamint Orbit gum. nomnomnom.

I had another crazy day yesterday... I finally got settled down after 11PM *cries*.

Here's what we had for dinner...

ZATARAINS!

That's beans and rice, garlic chicken sausage (I chopped a couple up and left two whole), sliced mushrooms, some extra chicken broth... It was SALTY! I ate my tiny helping on a bed of baby spinach with cheddar rice shreds, red onions, and HOT SAUCE (not pictured).

I think almost everything tastes better in salad form... except cake... and cookies... and peanut butter.

After dinner, I tended to 4 pounds of chicken breast that were beginning to look a bit pale. Fired up the Foreman and drenched those puppies in my favorite BBQ seasoning. Then I let the seasoning burn... I think it tastes better that way. Hubby agrees! :D

Played with my new sharp shiny objects...

I must say, I surprisingly prefer the cute little orange Asian chopper that I used on my chicken two days ago... maybe I just like it because it's Asian, so I automatically felt a close bond with it... or maybe not.

This big ol' (new) knife got the job done, though! I think it will take a little while to get used to...

I wilted enough cabbage down for the rest of the week. Phew.

This morning I had a helluva time prying myself out of bed for a.m. cardio, but I did it... after chugging down my current pre-cardio concoction!

That's a mixture of Crystal Light and Kool-Aid (made w/ Splenda) in the back. I mix all the stuff together the night before so that the chunks of BCAA have time to dissolve... I don't want to drink it in this state:

GAG!

After my super low intensity cardio sesh (upping the intensity is next week's goal!), I had a berry Amazing Grass + vanilla whey + coffee concoction... I added a bit of Splenda, too! It was actually quite tasty!

Brekkie numero dos was a baby food squash + oat bran + egg white + Splenda + cinnamon bun protein powder + mapeline extract + butter extract + vanilla extract + cinnamon + pumpkin pie spice PANCAKE! That's a lot of ingredients! It sure was tasty, though! I like putting the maple extract IN stuff.. it's like pancake syrup built right in! LOL!

I had this for breakfast #3. It was supposed to be lunch #1, but I was hangry.

Wilted cabbage + bbq grilled chicken + olive oil mayo! I don't know why I love this concoction as much as I do!

PHEW! Longest. Post. Ever.

Thanks for the feedback on the dress I posted yesterday! My coupon code did not work, so I'm not getting it. :( I can't justify spending $100 on a dress I will only wear one time. I would feel guilty... anyone else do that?

I have some reviews coming up soon! See ya later alligator!
