Sushi Sunday!

Hello my lovely ladies and HAPPY Sunday! It is dreadfully grey and rainy here, but I’m still in a good mood nonetheless. All day has been CRAZY windy and the power even went out a couple of times during church. So for those of you who don’t know, I take Sundays off from working out and I usually get all my grocery shopping done instead.

So I’m apologizing in advance for a somewhat boring post today, paired with boring eats. But I will say I had some exciting grocery store finds! Also, I thought I would share with you guys a couple progress pictures.

I’ve gained some good muscle in my arms over the last month as you can see from these pics. This was all the result of a cleaned up diet that involved MORE calories, mainly consisting of more fat, more protein and less carbs. The downside is my main trouble area is my hips and lower back (just that midsection in general). I haven’t seen much difference there, but Im trying not to let it discourage me beacuse I know the trouble areas are always the last to go.

Here’s the pics (feel kinda weird posting these, but here goes! Oh and I apologize for the super fuzzy before pic!!)

BEFORE

AFTER (1 MONTH LATER)

This morning I woke up early to another oatmeal pancake topped with sf strawberry jam and 1/4 sf syrup (sorry for the lack of bf variety, im trying to get rid of these babies so I can make some better varieties):

After eating this, I had work (I work from my computer during school, which is very convenient =) ) and then church. On the way I scarfed down one of these Iced Oatmeal Raisin Luna Bars- WOW was its good,  I was really surprised!

Before I hit the grocery shopping I ate a turkey sandwich (40z) on a Orowheat Sandwich thin w/1 wedge of Laughing Cow. Boring I know, but I was late for church and at least got some good protein in!

Church was really great, just what I needed and was soon followed by the grocery shopping- which involved FOUR different grocery stores: Food-4-Less, Trader Joes, Costco, and New Frontiers (our health food store). ARRGGH! Too many but there are things I need at each and I actually skipped out on Vons. Here was my beautiful stash:

Some of my most exciting finds were UVAB on sale for $2.5 (for the big container!), EAS Vanilla protein power (6 lbs for $30 @ Costco!! – Has anyone tried this?), a variety of new protein bars, pumpkin butter (cant wait to try it!!), pumpkin pie spice, some strawberry yogurt-o’s (from traders and they look delish!), and some new veggies I’ve never tried (Kombochu squash, spaghetti squash and beets)

Overall, I would say it was a very successful 4-stop grocery trip! =D

I had a really early lunch/dinner at a new Sushi restaurant. We were supposed to try out Evo’s like I mentioned yesterday but it got postponed until later this wee. Oh well, something to look forward too!

I was kinda bummed about sushi though because it was supposed to be half of rolls like they told us when we called, but when we got our bill (which was not small I might add) it was for full price. Apparently they failed to tell us, that this half off special only included one thing on the menu. SAD days! But, alas the sushi was good. Here’s a little looksie:

Needless to say, I ordered two whole rolls for myself (this is why you don’t go out when you’re starving) and was grossly full after I got through one. I don’t know if any of you get this way after Sushi but I have no desire to eat my leftovers, but I know I’ll feel really guilty wasting them (especially since they were so expensive) =/

Well that was my day in a nutshell, sorry for the boring post today; I’ll be sure to make it up to you all with some new recipes next week!! Hope you all have a great rest of your Sunday!!

I have no idea what my macros are for the day and I don’t think I really want to know after that giant mash of sushi LOL. I do know I’m good on protein but that’s about all =) Back on track tomorrow (Oh and my quad is feeling much better- YAYYY!!)
