Candy and 3

Hey well i fell off the wagon- i ate all that Easter candy i got at church last night =O
But i did manage to eat healthy other than that and also get my 3 miles in!
Breakfast: Strawberry honey bunches of oats and milk
Lunch: a bite (literally) of eggs and grits, and a carrot, water, and a yogurt.
Dinner: a choc. chunk chewy granola bar, and a bowl of Asian flavored vegetables over rice, with cheese all over it.
The End. Oh wait, i watched the last and final episode they made (on youtube) of As Told by Ginger!  it was the most amazing thing ever!! :) loved every minute of it. esp. the surprise flash-forward ending. it makes me look forward to whats ahead in life. <3 
And it taught me a lesson in life- whatever is worth it, wont be easy, but if you work at it, and achieve it, its worth it in the end. <3

Easter night at church

Hi
For breakfast I had what I had the other day- egg substitute (egg whites without the yolk) cooked in coconut oil, covered in cheddar sprinkle cheese, and a vanilla yogurt. for lunch I just had maybe 2 medium sized pancakes, with a minimum amount of syrup, and a small amount of grits with butter and salt (mom had bought the unsalted butter accidentally :P ) and i also added some of that Taco Bell mild sauce. it was good like that. 
So far ive had 3 chocolate chip cookies we made yesterday, and now theyre all gone. thank goodness! ;)
For dinner ill have some yogurt and some snack foods at church- were having this Easter fun night.
Exercise: I did the whole walk away the pounds dvd!
its 3 miles of walking, in a fun cardio walking program, ive already said this before im sure. but i usually only get like 1 1/2 - 2 miles each day. so im trying to do 3 miles each day now.
thats all!

Human video practice + COOKIESSS

Hey so this morning mom and i got up and made chocolate chip cookies! they were a hit at human video practice earlier at church. :) the secret is Tollhouse chocolate chips, oh and the recipe on the back of them. ;)

So for breakfast, i had 2 awesome fluffy eggs (well technically its that egg substitute) and basically thats egg whites. but anyway i cooked it in lots of extra virgin coconut oil (not too much but ya know what i mean) and boy did it give it great flavor! i topped it with cheddar sprinkle cheese, and it was great.

I walked 1 1/2 miles, just like yesterday, with that program, WATP

for lunch, well i had cookies :O sheepish i am cause i know im not supposed to be eating junk food! but at least i had the egg with coconut oil (much less fattening than veg oil- might want to consider it!) and cheese (protein) and not bread (carbs) when you go on a diet you need to eat protein, and some fats, believe it or not. you do not, i repeat not want to fill up on carbs (potatoes, bread, pasta) unless your a football player or something.

and eat till your quite full (protein) like good sources of protein is (lean meats- not for vegetarians though) and cheese and eggs and milk (dairy) and peanut butter, beans (the kind that are mushy inside, and not green beans i dont think) and then of course you want to eat lots of veggies, and stay away from too much fruit- unhealthy sugars- in moderation fruit is of course, good for you. great source of vitamins etc.

and eating citrus reduces your risk of scurvy! haha some humor there.

anyway i also had exercise practicing my tap dancing, and human video practice at church... well not too much there ;) so for dinner i had half a thing of vanilla yogurt, and a salad, and a burrito. :) 

and for dessert.... the dreaded COOKIE! haha:)

snacks- Ocean spray Cherry juice infused Craisins (dried cranberries) pretty good. next time all try maybe the original flavor, or pomegranate, or blueberry.

ok well, all for today, Joy hollingsworth

Thursday (today)
Today i had a blueberry muffin with milk for breakfast. I then had a dentist appointment for a teeth cleaning. afterwards, and after 20 min. after they applied that fluoride stuff, we went to Sam's Club. I ate a slice of cheese pizza, some of a 4-berry fruit sundae :) ... and the best thing ive tasted in a while: a double-twisted churro <3 <3 <3
It was hot, doughy in the middle, and covered in cinnamon sugar. Oh my tastebuds! haha
for a snack i made my own delicious strawberry smoothie <3 and then for dinner i had Birdseye Italian blend steamed vegetables, and organic pinto beans.

Ive fallen off the wagon a bit with eating healthy- somewhat at least- since i havent been eating meat, ive had somewhat of an addiction for sugarrrrr

oh so two bits of news i found out at the dentist:
possibly braces, and possibly another root canal- with a crown- on the same tooth but opposite side i already had that done on.


anywayy this is for yesterday, today is Friday, and i couldnt publish it yesterday, it wouldnt let me for some reason. 
but i have Easter choir on sunday, and my tap recital coming up not next saturday, but the one after. and tonight i have a tap class, and tomorrow a prophet of baal practice. and today ive been making up lots of schoolwork.


well, off i pop! (i gotta go now)
oh but first...

Breakfast- Pops cereal and milk
Lunch- a choc. chip granola bar, salad, and kidney beans
Dinner- a Morningstar chik pattie
Snacks- ice cream sandwich

Awesome food choices :)

Hey! 
I am going to dance in a bit, then coming back and having a pizza/movie night with the family <3
We found this new thing- Its Digorno's (or however u spell it) cheese pizza, and includes Nestle Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies that u can bake along with the pizza!! Genius idea! Entree + Dessert in same package.
So thats what were having for dinner, and for lunch, I had a Morningstar Chik Pattie on a whole grain flatbread bun, with ranch {Ooh Ooh YUM} ;) 
For breakfast we had these Morningstar biscuits that are filled with egg, cheese, and veggie meat crumbles.
and also an apple danish.
Snacks: well those evil cookies are gone (evil because of the addictive fat xD ) 

And also a Monster Energy <3 It's the "good kind" - the Absolutely Zero. <3 Its supposed to fight fatigue, improves mental performance and focus, and motivates you to work and play harder.

Good right? ;)

Ok, I just checked the online petition against P&G, it had 127 signatures! OH YEA!

If you want to hear something funny, its what happened today- 
You know I have 2 hamsters- Abbot and Costello, Winter white Russian dwarf hamsters. We got home from a couple errands this morning, and I was in my room, and I saw something run across the floor in the opening of my door. It was Costello! (the fast skinnier one) Ive heard those kind were escape artists, but really! They have two towels over their cage, and also their cage is about a foot high up, and its flat plastic. with one ridge in the middle but thats it. Idk how they get up there, but maybe they climb up on their little igloo house or their wheel- but I doubt the wheel theory- too spinny. Now, if the towels were dipped in the cage, they can get out with standing on their igloo, but their towels were flat across the cage, but with the middle dipped in a bit. Abbot (hes a bit chubby- like in the show too! xD) i love him tho hes more gentle, and funny too- they both are though lol.  :)
oh but anyway, just 5 minutes ago, they got out again! but, instead of going anywhere, they were both underneath the first towel! chewing on it. Haha 
And idk how they would get underneath the towel, or want too, if they were escaping. The towels are directly in line with each other.
One more crazy fact about them, they can both climb a brick wall! xD
Ive seen it with my own eyes on our brick steps. 
More another time, Later! -Joy
