4th of July Eve :-P

July 3

I got up at 8:30 am. On a Saturday.

-about half of a medium (which, let's face it Dunkin, is a large) iced coffee (started out black, but I later added almond milk & stevia)
-half of a jelly filled donut
-half of a maple glazed donut






Everytime I take my dogs to get groomed I have to get a Dunkin Donuts coffee (and sometimes breakfast). Just trust me, it's basically the law. (It used to be an iced blueberry latte lite no splenda, but a.) I don't drink dairy milk anymore, and more importantly, b.) one time they acted like I was NUTS for requesting blueberry and they'd never heard of such an abomination, despite me having it many times before. Sooooo...I've shyed away from my one true processed coffee flavor love affair).

I had myself fully convinced just to pick up the coffee and make my own nutritious breakfast at home, but I ended up with a couple donuts a la carte. Dammit, Amanda :-P. It started off with me being nice and getting a couple jelly's for my Mom as a surprise (they're her fave), then I thought, well shoot, I want half of one. That was that. UNTIL I saw the maple glazed. I like maple! But I forced myself to cut that in half as well and give the other half to my brother.

I mean, they were good and all, but not worth it. Especially after I saw all of the ingredients and just thought of chemicals dancing in my belly, lol. Overactive imagination, me?

I don't know if you've noticed (err ha, how could you not? I'm basically swimming in it....), but the more I tell myself to cut back on sugar the more I eat the heck out of it.

-leftover sushi & tempura (I forgot to pack the leftover wasabi, boo)



I planned to stay home and relax alllll day and nite, but my cousin asked if we wanted to come over and see Kendyll, so we did. Here's the pretty lady:


letting herself in and out of the dog cage, LOL

-1 salmon & zucchini kabob
-a little bit of hummus with pita
-1 bud light lime





Tried a new-ish place called Zoe's Kitchen. It's really good! Seems pretty fresh and healthy too.

-half plain half red velvet cake frozen yogurt w/ toppings (some fruit some unhealthy stuff)
I threw a little bit of it away

-organic lemonade mixed with sparkling water



-ezekiel tortilla w/ laughing cow light & superfruit jam





I really wanted one of the curry tofu egg rolls, but they had mold on them :(. They were supposed to be good 'til July 10!

-shrimp cocktail



Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. As always.

-the last salmon kabob & a little more salad
-half of a wedge of watermelon (well more like half of a half, my dog insisted we share)
-waterrrrrr (finally)

looks like somebody wanted some lol

Knight & Day

June 24

-1 or 2 bites of a cinnamon chip scone




Planned on having a whole scone w/ laughing cow & jam, but realized lunch was too soon to justify it.

Workout:

-26 min treadmill

Skipped out on work with my Dad to go see Knight & Day at the movie grill. It was pretty good. Glad we went.

-1/2 of a greek pizza dipped in marinara
-water w/ a tiny bit of lemon

Got my first "full body" massage (well, table. I requested mainly upper body 'cause my neck, back, and shoulders are always wrecked). It was great.

-the other half of the pizza (sans one piece my Dad took during the movie)
-water

part of it...

-coffee hard candy



After work (well, working an hour and a half, heh), I went to Anthropologie to return a couple things, get a price adjustment, and buy a skirt. I thought the cashier looked at me weirdly/rudely for requesting the price adjustment. Especially, I think, because I didn't bring the actual skirt (I'd already worn it...), but it was right on the receipt! It's not my fault I paid $88 for a skirt that went on sale to $49 less than a week and a half later. The receipt itself says that any item that goes on sale within 2 weeks of purchase is eligible for an adjustment. I just hate feeling judged for something that's right to do in the first place! Whatevs.

After that I went to Borders to pick up Tori Spelling's new book & popped in Marshall's nearby to look for more throw pillows (found adorable ones). I also got some new dishes to show off on the blog, but stupid ass me broke 2 of them as soon as I got home. Good thing they were cheap, but ugh I liked them!! BOO. Such a waste.



-frozen yogurt + toppings



Clearly, I hated it...



:-P

Normally I only love the plain flavor, but I sampled the red velvet. SO GOOD! Will have to get that next time. This time I had 2/3 plain with 1/3 lemon. The lemon was only so-so. Not nearly as good as plain.

-pau d'arco tea w/ lemon



-small piece of polenta lasagna w/ light laughing cow, pesto, and marinara
-portabella mushrooms cooked w/ marinara and pesto
-a small amt of macaroni w/ vegan butter, lemon juice, and capers (what I made for my Mom)
-water





Not counting it as a second workout, b/c come on, but the last 10 min while waiting for dinner to finish cooking in the oven I walked on the treadmill to get some steps in.

-a few gummy candies



I REALLY wanted gummy bears (particularly stale haribo or whole foods organic ones), but these did in a pinch.
