It’s the weekend! Should I be happy that it’s the weekend? Well im more like stressed because I have finals and three essays to write! Holy smokes, im going to be pulling a lot of things out of my butt to write these three essays…all due by either Monday or Tuesday! Of course, I will stress, of course, I will cry, but it will be done! I have to learn to deal with these kinds of situations and not stress over them. Im ready, and im not going to use food as an outlet for when im stressed, and emotional!
Last night’s dinner was awesome! We were supposed to go to Mimi’s at first, then it was BJ’s and then it was Red Lobster, then it was back to Mimi’s Café. By this time, I was just ready to eat and I was going to chose if no one was going to decide! So Mimi’s it was! We went there and I ordered the ½-roasted turkey sandwich on wheat with of course a side of avocado, and a side of fruit. The sandwich was amazing! The fruit could have been better; it was two slices of fruit, a piece of orange, and a watermelon. Ehh it was okay. They brought out the bread, (the bread at Mimi’s Café is amazing stuff! They serve banana bread and French bread)mmmm was it lookin might tasty. Actually, it started to talk to me. I have nice conversations with food. Anyways the banana bread looked at me and said, “Please don’t let me be all alone” haha well okay it didn’t talk to me but hey I can have fun! Anyways I had a slice of that and stopped their. I was proud of myself.
Then came the dinner ate it all, was very good. Well of course with my family we always have to have dessert. So out came the Triple Chocolate Brownie! Heaven is what it was. I have some bites, and that really did satisfy my sweet tooth. Afterwards I came out feeling stuffed. Like a stuffed turkey! I love how I get full faster!
Before dinner, I was at my sisters house babysitting. She was running errands and I didn’t mind. We all know that my sister’s house is trouble when it comes to food. Well I walk in and right on, her counter is a batch of cookies. Chocolate chip cookies! Oh my goodness, the whole time I was their I could smell them even when I was outside. They wanted me to take a bite of them and taste how yummy they were. NOPE! I said NO!!! I WILL NOT EAT YOU! I didn’t! I left her house without a bite; I left the cookies crying, but so what, im proud of myself! I said no to the cookie! Yahoo! One down, 60 million to go! Haha!
Anyways im off to go to a candle party! Have a Super Saturday!!

chocolate chip cookies
Some one from my class brought me some chocolate chip cookies last night too. but I didn't resist, actually I probably over did it! but I wasn't sick stuffed, and I probably danced it off last night. I couldn't help it they were just calling me, teasing me, pulling me in. oh well, no biggy, it won't hurt my weekend. That chocolate dessert looks soo yummy, I'm sure you enjoyed it!

Procrastination
Ahhh I remember those weekends. I used to do that all the time, pulling essays out of my butt at the last minute. I work best under pressure, though. It will be a pain, but you'll get through it! Then you can relax knowing they are done.
I love banana bread. What a great idea for restaurants to serve with your food!
And great job resisting the cookies. That is such a hard thing to do.
Good luck with those essays! I remember back to the classes where we had to write essays/reports. I always procrastinated on those papers too! There's something about a problem set that's actually easier - funny thing to say, probably!
I too love banana bread. I actually just made some a few days ago (and proceeded to eat 2 pieces the first night!), which is actually a really healthy recipe and turned out well. So - if you ever have a few bananas that are too ripe to eat, you could try it out! I did make some substitutions - reduced the oil to 2 tsp, replaced the sugar with splenda baking blend, and swapped the quantities of whole wheat and AP flour.
It came out really well - and it always helps me to resist something out to eat if I know I can make it more healthy myself - for example, when I think of having coldstone, I then think of how I can make it much better myself at home and with far fewer calories and fat, so I am much less tempted to go. Let me know how you like it if you make it!
Thanks for posting to my blog. I can tell you one thing, I pretty much do silly things all the time so I can probably keep you laughing. My wife stays pretty entertained. Let's just say I am not the smoothest of guys. I sure did marry out of my league.
She likes to exercise now but she wasn't always that way. This change she has made has lasted and she seems to be just getting more addicted to working out. Hence why I am starting this blog. I just can't keep up and maybe this will help me. Listening and seeing what others do. I am grateful to have her and I know how lucky I am. Not only do I have a motivator but a wonderful partner. She's my best friend.
She gets motivated from you guys and just seeing the posts she gets I know she motivates people. You look wonderful by the way. I am amazed at your pictures. I hope you are proud of yourself.
You had me cracking up about your conversations with food! Too funny! I know what you mean. Recently, there was this one time when I was quite satisfied and I was getting up to go for more food. In my head I said yelling "Where are you going, what are you doing". I had to tell myself that we just ate and were satisfied and didn't need anything else at the time. I know girl...it gets tough.
Kudos for a good decision made!! Yay!!
Boy do I remember my college school days and the stress of doing well. I'm sure you'll be fine. Take breaks and listen to music or something to keep the stress levels down. Good luck!
