It’s 4am:  I just broiled a 10oz steak.

Don’t judge me; I won’t judge you.

—  eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkk !  <3

nobody knows how excited I am about this. lol

—  Hello…  I’m Johnny Cash.

first shift at the bar tonight..  if digging through my closet for 2 hours wasn’t enough motivation to start losing weight again, well I don’t know what would be.  =\ 

—  dark chocolate & melted Reese’s pb chips on the left;
milk chocolate & crushed peanuts on the right.

fancy, I am not.

—  second attempt in life at Coconut Curry Chicken.  It tastes delicious to me, so I’m deeming it a success.

** also:  am I the only person who overcooks their rice on purpose? I love the gluey texture..  =\

—  late night craving-killer.

**Random Julie Fact:  ever since I was a toddler, I’ve had issues with food textures..  I can’t deal with chunks of anything; it makes me nauseous.  So, yes.. that is salsa, but it’s been run through a food processor. lol

I need to stop watching The Food Network this late at night..

ughhh…  fresh pasta with lobster, mussels, scallops, shrimp & calamari drowned in a glorious tomato-wine sauce & sprinkled with cheese:

I’d die happily after that.

—  tonight’s cardio brought to you by ‘Soul Surfer’.. 

(very inspirational movie, btw. loved it)

—  ’Sucker Punch’on Netflix + stationary bike

..I’m gonna feel this one in the morning.

Made these banana protein muffins last night:  I used Chocolate protein powder though, since it was all I had on hand.. but they’re still delicious & only 122 calories each.

I want a heavy bag for my apartment.. because I have no babysitter where I live & can’t get to the gym like a normal person.

But these buildings aren’t very “up-to-code” with some things, so I’m guessing that the first time I’d hang the bag, my entire ceiling will come crashing down.

Now, they do sell the proper stands for this sort of thing, but guess what ?!
The stand ALONE is 200$ plus tax..  it doesn’t come with a bag (which are $120-$200, depending where you get them).

Why is it so $$$ to try have a healthier lifestyle ?!

I just wanna hitttt thingssss againnnnn.  =(

—  looooook what I found in the back of my cupboard !  I’ll have treats for weeksssss

—  simple strawberry smoothie;  sadly, the local Wal-Mart doesn’t have a very large selection of these cups..

—  so tempted to bake chocolate muffins tonight..  but I found a healthier alternative.
