I’m already sore. Also. My computer might be dying so I’m posting this horribly formatted thing from my phone. *fingers crossed it makes it okay*

CONSUMED:

whey shake (coffee / almond milk / matcha / vanilla whey) (150)

I skipped yoga today because I was so excited to try baking for my friend’s birthday. Good thing too or else I would have run out of time. I successfully made Jack and Coke cupcakes with whiskey chocolate granache. I screwed up my first attempt at the Mint Julep ones BUT the second batch turned out well. They were a hit! I’ll post a picture. I need more veggies tomorrow…

Danger. I don’t bake. Ever.

They may taste weird but I have cute decorations so at least there’s that.

I lost the ability to walk and gained the ability to vibrate. EVERYWHERE.

… to make up the barre class I missed last night. Maaaybe I’ll make up the run too! *fingers crossed it continues to not rain*

On my way back, I thought I’d pick up some stuff to make cupcakes for my best friend’s birthday, who is a male from the south who likes to drink AND who is also a drag queen from time to time. I was thinking either Jack and Coke OR Mint Julep cupcakes for him AND Sparking Strawberry cupcakes for his drag counterpart?

CONSUMED:

oyster and egg white scramble, steak (300)

froyo with too many toppings (500)

greek salad, chicken, dark chocolate (500)

I burned nothing, really, but at least ate somewhat well. The AM run turned into Tumblr procrastination and I didn’t make my PM barre class because Seattle traffic was SO awful. It’s okay since I haven’t had a rest day since Thursday. I did help my friend pick out a kitty though. My heart is happy.

wtf?? that is not what i do. we start from standing forward fold, then bind one leg, slowly move the other in, then bend the knees slightly to come up. i just don’t understand how you get the bound leg up from extended side angle!!

I cannot wait to try your version! We go from extended side angle then bind the leg that we’re bent toward (my arms are short so it took me a long time to be able to do this), then we tip forward and balance (I fall) on that bound leg and slowly drag the back leg up and bent.

waaaait, you get into bird of paradise from extended side angle?? that seems…. DIFFICULT.

Yesss. It seems like my quads are going to start on fire. How do you do it?!

• I slept in (I need to stop doing that so much though)
• It’s not raining and I can see the sun SO this means… a run (although it’s been a while)
• I got carrots and apples to make juice
• There’s still half a turkey in my fridge to get drunk off of it
• My friend and I are going to pick him out a kitten of maximum cuteness. That kitten will be BFFs with my kitten.
• Froyo.
• Barre class with another friend.
• A more delicious attempt at a Thanksgiving leftovers sandwich.
• Skyrim and / or read A Clash of Kings

Did you know that juiced vegetables start losing their nutrients as soon as they’re juiced?

Yeah. It sucks because if you cut the recipe in half to actually be able to drink it all in a sitting, that’s twice as often I have to wash the juicer… which seems really monotonous and time consuming. It’s a good thing I like how they taste.

CONSUMED:

leftover mean green juice, half banana w/ almond butter (150)

greek yogurt w/ orange / clementine, s’mores oatmeal, matcha green tea (350)

warm sake, edamame, sashimi (toro, escolar, salmon), two of each (spicy tuna, spider, and scallop roll), couple bites of bread pudding and green tea ice cream (idk…)

BURNED:

one hour barre class

25 minutes of 30 Day Shred (which has gotten EASY, WHAT)

Going out to eat is still kind of difficult for me in terms of moderating how much of the deliciousness I eat. I don’t feel stuffed. I feel full, more than satiated, I overdid it A BIT. This is why I kept the rest of the day light and made sure I got at least some cardio in (the circuit training / 30DS) since I missed hot vinyasa (I got confused about the schedule and thought it was Sunday). I weighed myself Thanksgiving morning. After two weeks of not counting calories and cutting back on the cardio (running) and upping the strength training and hiding the scale, I’ve lost two pounds (140.6). I had never been below 142 as an adult. I probably gained them back in the following days BUT STILL. :D

CONSUMED:

mean green juice, whole wheat toast with almond butter / banana (400)

lemonade (100)

glass of wine, tri tip steak, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, broccoli, pumpkin pie (900ish?)

cocktail (200ish)

BURNED:

one hour hot vinyasa

I saw a friend I hadn’t seen since June. When we were alone, he goes, “Wait, can we talk about how awesome you look now?” (Feels good.) I haven’t been eating the best of course this holiday weekend. It continues as I go out to dinner tomorrow (for sushi at least though). And then from there, it should get better. Balance, right?

CONSUMED:

whole wheat toast w/ almond butter, beet / orange / pineapple juice (200)

grapes, oyster stew, white wine spritzer (400)

little bit of turkey breast, sausage sutffing, caramelized sweet potatoes, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, roll, cranberry sauce, wine (I don’t even know…)

bites of three kinds of pie, whiskey cocktails (500)

You know. I had such a great, great night. My family is hilarious. My dad is a phenomenal cook. I ran into an ex who admitted I looked great and later said to my sister he missed me. I met another great guy, maybe. It was all worth it. I’m still feeling lethargic though… Off to hot yoga to detox!

… for turning the nice glass of white wine into a spritzer. Whatever, I want to stay hydrated and save calories. Today is a marathon, not a sprint.

(And I’m such a light weight now.)

CONSUMED:

half whole wheat tuna sandwich, sweet potato chips (200)

beet / orange / pineapple juice, lean steak (500)

beet / orange / pineapple juice, egg, broccoli, ahi tuna, toffee bar, square of dark chocolate, spoonful of pb since obviously I can’t go a day without it (600)

BURNED:

60 minutes hot vinyasa

Another good food day. Also, I wasn’t even going to go to hot yoga but I saw my favorite teacher picked up a class AND I rewarded myself with yellow jeans afterward. Yellow makes me happy… when everything around is some random ass shade of grey.

In the morning, I’m helping my dad cook starting in the morning to eat in the late afternoon. Chopping and standing and running to the grocery store is work. Not hard, aerobic work… but still. What I’m trying to say is, I’m not worried about splurging at dinner. I only get my dad’s prized oyster stew once a year so I’ll enjoy it.

Chewy PB2 Cookies!

My brother LOVES peanut butter cookies, but because he is in the air force he has to be very healthy and weight conscious. I sent him healthy peanut butter cookies for Halloween! The recipe is under “doing dessert”

C’mon Seattle! You’ve handled far worse rain and wind! Kind of takes the running steam out of a person when there’s no steamy, hot water to look forward to (OR STEAK AND EGGS). I may go to hot yoga again (despite having sore, jello arms that can’t lift my kitten let alone hold plank) for the purpose of using the shower afterward.

And for now? Since I can’t work on online apps, it’s back to warm bed / kitten cuddle time with A Song of Ice and Fire.

CONSUMED:

pumpkin spice granola bar and peanut butter (200)

salmon ceasar salad w/o dressing or croutons, honey greek yogurt (500)

whole wheat toast with tuna, whole wheat toast with almond butter / superfruit spread, clementine (300)

leftover pork / broccoli / zucchini stir fry, cucumber, hummus, sweet potato chips, english toffee bar (450)

BURNED:

hour barre class

75 minutes yin yoga

A really really good food day! Also, I finally tried a full “yin” yoga. Ouch. It’s about stretching connective tissue. You hold postures for 3 - 10 minutes. I learned my inner thighs are super inflexible… for now… ;).
