Hello all my lovely fellow bloggers. Today was filled with many ups and downs:
Up’s:
-Got to meet another amazing new blogger, Maggie, for an early-morning bicep/tricep/delt workout!
-Had a sunshine filled day (no rainboots required) =)
-Finally got a hold of our Kinesiology center and got an appointment to get my body fat tested using 3 different methods: dunk test, hydrostatic & skinfold, for a total of $10!!! How awesome is that? No more crappy scale with inaccurate numbers that change every 10 mins.. my scale is completely useless, as are most bf testing scales in my opinion. Thoughts?
-Got an important form signed (been trying to get this one signed for months now)
-Had some really tasty eats, AND managed to hit my macros (about time LOL)
-Started designing a new blog layout.. woo hoo! =D
Downs:
-Lost my cell!!!! In all the years I’ve had a cell phone (since middle school), I’ve NEVER lost or broken one… until now. Well it’s a pretty sad story. I had a 10-min break between classes today and laid down the grass to enjoy the lovely sunshine and the tasty protein bar I had packed.. Somehow in that 10 min span my cell fell out of my bag… fast forward 2 hours later and I leave class, realize my cell isn’t in my bag, go to the lawn, realize cell phone went MIA. UGGH! I’m staying optimistic in the hopes someone will turn it into the Lost and Found!! Say some prayers for me!!
-Luckily that was the only big down today and seeing as how the ups outnumber the downs, I’ll keep smilin =)
Now for some of my eats:
-Breakfast: (the regular protein oats, minus the psyllium husk. I noticed I’ve had some stomach aches the last few days… not sure if it’s correlated but its one of the few changes I’ve made so I decided to cut it out and reintroduce next week to see if the husks are the cause)
-Post-workout Shake: (1 serving eas vanilla whey, 1 cup UVAB, 4 strawberries, stevia, pinch guar, ice). I’m really loving this new powder.. Thanks costco for giving me 6lbs for $30!
After, I ran off to meet a friend for our weekly coffee and was starving for lunch when I got back, so I decided to have the leftover spaghetti squash from last night (5ish oz, 4.75oz cooked ckn, 2oz avocado, 1T tomato paste, italian seasoning, splash of water and a laughing cow wedge) MMM.. it was delightful!
Meanwhile, I baked some sweet tater’ fries (my fav) and discovered our oven timer is broken… needless to say they were a tad crispy.. I’ll just show you the happier pre-bake and seasoning pic
And packed one of my straw-nana bars with 1T of TJ’s Pumpkin Butter (super tasty, low in cal/no fat, tad high in carbs (10g for 1 T)- conclusion: totally worth it!)
Ate this tasty guy after my first class and then lost my phone without realizing it.. walked home… walked back to school to get phone.. didnt get phone.. walked home agin..ate way past my dinner time.
But hey, on the plus side i got in some extra exercise and dinner tasted that much better LOL.
Dinner was some Faux “Fried” Chicken w/1 T BBQ sauce I had marinated earlier, just popped it in the oven and added some sweet tater’ fries and wall-a!
Ok, so the fries were a bit crispy… dont judge! LOL. I normally never burn food, it was the ovens fault this time! I picked at a few and went for round 2 of dinner: a Yog-Mix! (6oz Fage 0%, 1/2 c. Kashi go lean, 1/2 serv. vanilla pro powder, pinch stevia) SOOOO GOOOD! Definitely eating this every day!!
Bed time snack was a cold pear (i hate room temp fruit, it always tastes so much better cold!) with some cinnamon. YUM!
And for my macros:
cal- 1472
fat- 31.95g / 19.01%
pro- 164.8g / 43.57%
carb- 141.52g / 37.42%
My macros looked a lot better today, but my cals were too low.. Well hope you all had a wonderful wednesday! See ya tomorro!








I’m jealous of your body fat testings!! I’ve only had the calipers done.. I want the dunking or bod pod!
Hey Girlie!
(hang in there it will work out!)
thank you for the well wishes about my eyeballs!
I LOVE having two rounds of dinner…and PEARS are soooo YUMMY, eating one right now!
I hope you’ve been having a great week…sorry to hear about the cell
~xoxo!
I almost got some P Husks, but maybe Ill hold off! Yummy eats! LOVE Fage and Kashi combos!
How fun to workout with a fellow blogger!!
Everything looks so tasty!! Especially that post workout shake, yummm!!
Totally agree body fat scale is a waste of money, mine changes every time I step on it!! Jealous of your testing!
