well, my day turned into a great one! here is a friday list:
1) for those of you who gave away antm results on your blogs, that's fine with me. seriously, it is my opinion that if you really don't want to know who won things (be it reality tv shows, or sporting events, whatever) then you need to drop all contact with the outside world until you find out for yourself. :)
2) my breakfast yesterday (cinnamon spice oatmeal with pumpkin, nutmug, egg whites, shreddies... whatever else i said) was yummo. but too thick. i microwaved it at work after combining everything at home (including water) and it could have used more unsweetened almond breeze at work which i didn't have. but other than that, very delicious.
3) yes, i love my george foreman.
4) my pain still hurts... it's not that bad but annoying. it makes me feel old. it's only when i'm exercising (at the beginning) or changing positions after resting for awhile (like in bed) that it hurts. i'm going to give it some more time and then if it persists, do something about it.
5) i am working from home today, HA HA HA long weekend baby.
6) i had no cavities at the dentist.
7) my dentist is in my old neighbourhood, which has this video store where you can rent the entire season of one show at once, for cheap ($6...) as opposed to blockbuster where you only get episodes 1-4 for the same price. i got season three of kenny vs. spenny since it's my bf's favourite show... and i am going to surprise him tonight with a relaxing evening chez moi.
8) he has been away all week at camp with his students and is coming home tonight. :)
9) i got the hottest dress of all time from h & m. it looks like something stacey london would wear. i am going to wear it on saturday night (dancing) and then i will show you all how wonderful it is.
10) did i mention i'm at home?
11) today i'm going to clean up my apartment to get ready for the weekend, do an anti-boredom workout downstairs, go shopping again, and grocery shopping maybe, and then relax... and work a bit too actually.
12) no menu today... long weekend. except i'm sure i will have oatmeal at some point ;). hooray! happy long weekend everyone. i am sooooooo excited.
13) i forgot to weigh-in until this second. 120.8 UGH which is 0.8 gain (not much) but over my range. but it's ok. i really don't care this week. actually i'm happy about it because i'm always hovering right at the top of my range and it takes going over to actually get serious about getting it back down to the middle. :) (next week of course)

freitag (that's german for friday)
i have a lot to talk about today, so i'm going to do it in a list format.
1) friday weigh-in day: gained 1.6 and now am 120 pounds. note to self: stop mindless snacking immediately.
2) yesterday i bought this online. it is a starfrit electronic digital kitchen scale. it was only $19.99 with free shipping, and it has a tare function. my current kitchen scale is not electronic, not digital, has no tare function, and is so tiny. so can't go wrong.
3) last night i had an excellent run: 5 minutes walking, 35 running at a 6.2 mph pace, then 5 minutes walking cool down. and then i went to tap class for an hour.
4) after tap last night, i hit up shoppers drug mart and the grocery store. i noticed that the dominion has lean cuisine paninis now, but i didn't buy any because my freezer is full. i did buy diet chocolate cherry dr. pepper though. i don't drink pop on a regular basis, just when mixing drinks and stuff.
5) at shoppers drug mart, i bought this clearance oil of olay in-shower body lotion. you put it on in the shower and rinse it off. i've only used it once (this morning) but seriously people it's wonderful.
6) this morning i did A LOT. i woke up at 6:13 am, walked on the treadmill with interval inclines for 80 (yes 80!) minutes, made a giant pot of homemade soup, made oatmeal (the kind that takes 15 minutes), showered, got ready for work, and here i am.
7) i made a modified version of a hungry girl 0-point soup. i made this soup to have with meals, in a hope that it will deter me from stuffing my face unnecessarily.
ingredients:
1 onion, chopped
1 can plum tomatoes, diced
1 can sliced carrots
3-4 cups cabbage (i used bagged)
leftover adzuki beans
4 cups (i used 900mL) fat free vegetable broth
salt
pepper
mrs. dash original
many shakes of frank's chili lime red hot sauce
directions:
in a large pot sprayed with non-stick spray, cook onion for 2-3 minutes, chop the tomatoes from the can, add everything including tomato juice. cook for 2-3 minutes on medium. add carrots, cabbage, beans, broth. bring to a boil, season accordingly, reduce heat and cover for 5 minutes, and voila! the original recipe made five 0 point one cup servings. mine made a lot more than that and probably 1 point per cup, or something because i added the carrots and a few beans... maybe. does it matter? no, it does not. the hot sauce made it really good.
8) tonight i am going to see 27 dresses with my main gal pal. am looking forward to it!
9) my mom wants me to take her car (instead of mine) to niagara falls this weekend. hers has automatic doors and windows, an automatic starter (from a remote), and heated seats. mine has none of these things and makes funny sounds.
10) what does everyone think about these?
11) today's menu:
1/2 cup oats with milk and pumpkin
orange
homemade soup
turkey and swiss sandwich on rye
caramel yogurt
more soup
grapes
popcorn
something chocolately
