Movie Marathon

Hi, I'm a 22 year old looking to make my twenty third year a great one by adopting healthier habits! This post is my first-documenting what I ate and did! Enjoy! Also, please forgive the poor lighting and interesting layout-I'm still learning how to work my camera and how I want this site to look. Today was super busy and full of not-so-great choices but I kept portions small and had a blast. So glad it's Sunday tomorrow so I can sleep in!

Breakfast: Maple and Cinnamon French Toast a la hungry girl

with French vanilla coffee

I just switched the vanilla extract out for maple extract and used a hearty slice of Ezekial toast. I have very little experience in the kitchen (which I'm in the process of remedying) so I was very proud of my French toast creation!

2nd Breakfast: 1 red bean mochi from Mozart Bakery with a coffee

I met up with a friend and we decided to go to one of the local Korean cafes as a special treat. I almost always get these when I go to Mozarts! They are so soft and chewy though a bit hard to swallow in mid conversation. My friend got what we thought was a donut but was actually a dumpling with cabbage goodness inside. Delicious but a bit unexpected!

Lunch?: Nature Valley Oats 'n Dark Chocolate granola bar and

a Chewy Cocoa granola bar.

I was running late to meet up with another friend to see Toy Story 3 and didn't have time to run back home for a proper lunch. Instead, I salvaged what I could from what I found in the car. These Nature Valley bars are great but are very crumbly so they are hard to eat in the car.

Snack: Popcorn and another French Vanilla Coffee

Came home to Mom making popcorn so I grabbed a bowl and watched the epic end to the Federer vs. Djokovic game. So sad Federer lost but I cannot wait to see Djokovic play against Nadal.

Dinner: Pizza (not pictured) and M&Ms

I wasn't home long before I went back to the dollar theatre to watch Knight and Day! But first, I stopped by my friend's house to eat 2 small slices of pepperoni pizza. Wow do I need veggies at this point! We then stopped at Quicktrip on the way to the movies to stock up on some cheap snacks. I, of course, got M&Ms but the pre-portioned treat was perfect! Yummy.

Dinner 2?: Leftovers on baby salad greens with a piece of dark chocolate

By the time I got home (12am) I was starving and in need of something remotely healthy. I cut up 2 fish sticks left over from my family's dinner, added some sweet corn and garbanzo beans, and put it all on a bed of lettuce. My choice of dressing was ketchup of course, because one can't eat fish sticks without it!

And I yet again had more chocolate to end my crazy food day. 4 chocolate treats in all today. Maybe I overdid it...

Some things about me...

• I don't know how to cook (yet).
• I do NOT like fruits (texture bugs me) so I am to add it in where I won't mind it so much.
• I am a prepackaged foods girl. If it comes in a package, I probably eat it. I want to change this and get more comfortable eating less processed foods through cooking!
• I tend to eat the same thing every day! I live at home and get by with what my parents chose. So pretty much my diet is yogurt, cereal, peanut butter, and frozen diners. Sad, no?! This is one reason for starting this blog! I figure I'll be more motivated to change it up a bit just so I don't bore people who stop by!
• I'm a coffee addict. I've recently (read: 2 weeks ago) switched to decaf though so I'd don't feel too bad when I overindulge.
• Oh yea, I love sweets, especially chocolate. :)
