What does Bill Cosby want for a Snack??

PUDDING!

This is not at my home... I hate pudding.

People seem to get really annoyed with me when they find out I don't like that slimy, gritty, tangy, slop.

I'm sorry but I rather enjoy "real" deserts not this wanna be chocolate skank.

But back to the picture... that is at my office! One of my coworkers is totally random and bought TEN of these because they were on sale for 10 for $10. That's so something my Gran does, needless to say the rest of the day was him calling me a snob because I don't like pudding.

Oh and in case you are confused Yes, that is a doll in our kitchen at work...the same coworker puts the most random statues, posters, and pictures all around our office. The confusion I had when I first started working there was out of this world but now I absolutely love it - funny coworkers are my number 1 reason for enjoying going to work everyday!

--------------------------------------------

Remember when I said I was going to start tanning and eating smoothies during work!? Well, I'm really doing it!

I had a smoothie everyday for lunch this week (only tanned once) and ran errands every day at lunch. Go me! Worked out twice and in general I feel A LOT better.

MONDAY

Yoplait Berry mixed smoothie - mmm mmm good

TUESDAY

Oatmeal, Peanut Butter, & Banana - Very heavy I won't be eating these often

WEDNESDAY

My First Green Monster! Not very green because I put Strawberries in there

THURSDAY

Green Monster #2

I bet you're wondering where FRIDAY is...well I wasn't hungry today so I didn't make one. Pretty stupid on my part because by 5 I was starving but then I didn't end up eating until 8. Dumb.

My Green Monster Ingredients:

Lots of Spinach (1-2 cups)

Strawberries

Blueberries

Pineapple

1 Cup Milk

Ice

BUT the weather was Awesome today! No Sunshine but do you see that Temp?!

Seattle, I can handle that!

Do you Like Pudding?

Thank God

Thank God my blog name does not have "Runner" in it. I would feel much more obligated to actually be one then. I just need to face reality- while I used to run quite often and for *gasp* 5 miles as my personal best distance- I just have absolutely no desire to run right now. I went to the gym tonight (FYI the New Year Resolutioners are GONE!! yay!) and got on the treadmill for like the first time in months and I am ashamed at how hard it was. I have been having a love affair with the Cross Ramp and I am HAPPY with what it's been doing for my ass and legs BUT I have a St. Pattys Day Run coming up and I begrudgingly started back running tonight. 1.5 miles in 25 mins... send me a medal right now people.  



In other news I have a new food obsession!

First off let me explain: I go through these stages where I just can't stop eating certain foods like fish or hamburger or rice and then I burn myself out on it... I think that is pretty normal but there has always been one food that I've never been fond of but that has all changed now!

 Every time I say the word I think of the movie The Fifth Element:

Chick-AN

Yes, LeeLoo... It's Good. 

I have been craving Chicken and eating it a lot the last week.

Bring on the Bird!

PS. NEVER EVER do I mean McDonalds Chicken:

Nope...that ain't Strawberry Ice Cream folks...

Yes, I'm for real... have any of you seen this yet?

That is what the chicken nuggets from McDonalds look like before they are "bleached, colored, flavor injected, and shaped." WTF Don't believe me? Watch THIS.

This is just another reason why I'd rather cook at home.

I hate fast food.

Although, I do miss Popeyes.

I need to find a recipe for that Rice!!!

Do you Love/Hate Fast Food?



Monster blog RAWR

For the last few days I have been taking pictures of the following:

The most useful item I own in my kitchen. Without you I would perish dear Slap Chop.

"The Triple Door has a NOLA Jazz Band!"

It's not like I'm THAT into Jazz...but that was the most excited I've gotten in awhile.

Now, Terri's New Plan!:

I'm in need of a "healthy pick me up" AKA new eating plan.

 I don't like to call them diets because it's not changes I intend to stop doing in 3 months.

So, Breakfast will be the same as always (usually Oatmeal or Eggs and Toast) Lunch will take a huge turn (for the better!) and be replaced with Smoothies! Think Green Monsters, Berry Blasts, Peanut butter & Banana, etc. This also gives me time to tan or shop on lunch now instead of going home and eating unhealthy things. Dinner will go back to what I was doing but then slowly started adding baked potatoes back in. Dinner will once again be Protein (chicken, beef, fish, turkey, etc) and Veggie (broccoli, green beans, cabbage, etc.) I'm also free to have several small snacks if I want... nothings off limits just under a calorie budget.

So, I've got the tanning and eating on check Now onto the workouts! It's the goal to go everyday but 5 times is the real goal. At least 30 mins of cardio but with a wanted 60 mins of cardio. I also need to start doing crunches again...those are the goals. Not really a lot different than I have been doing but small changes I think will make the difference!

Today was Day 1 and all was accomplished.

Do you eat smoothies for any meal often?

What is your FAVORITE smoothie recipe!?
