Beautiful Blogger Award

I've been given this lovely award from the gorgeous Heather at Health, Happiness and Hope.

Now to reveal 7 random facts about myself.

1. I am an only child. I really would love to have a sister though

2.I used to be an avid jogger, until I ruptured my achilles tendon..I still have immense pain there when I walk too much or twist my ankle the wong way. So no more jogging for now :(

3. I love cooking, absolutely love it! It totally relaxes me and I love coming up with new recipes and following recipes from books and online.

4.I have lived in England before..all by myself! It was terrifying and exciting at the same time. I took a travel course there for 7 months (in Leeds), I made many great friends and would love to live in the UK one day :)

5. I LOVE LOVE sushi! I could eat it everyday! It's is one of my top fave foods. I love california rolls, Dynamite rolls..well almost every roll!

7. Out of every person I know, I am the closest to my mom. I can tell her anything. Good or bad. She is not judgmental at all. She helped me so much through the worst of my ED, she never left my side. We had 3 hour long talks, we just got to know each other so much more. Now we talk every single day :)

8. I love taking really hot bubble baths, I take one almost every night, they help me relax and sleep much better :)

The day After Christmas

Hello! I hope you all had a great Christmas! I had an awesome Christmas. I am now home in my pj's relaxing. I had a great time staying at my parents, but I am super glad to finally be home now. There were so many people there Christmas day, 17 people! Christmas dinner was so delicious. I ate a ton of turkey and sweet potatoes :) I also really lucked out in the gift department, I got a ton of gift cards..to Sephora , Starbucks,LaSenza, MAC, Bath and Body Works, and 2 $100 ones for Whole Foods! So excited about that one. I also got a 36 inch Aquios LCD tv from my grandparents! They knew how much I needed a tv and I was seriously shocked when I got this!! I'm watching it right now and it's awesome :)

Also got a ton of jammies, socks, some perfume, slippers, sheets and pillowcases. I also got an assortment of whole bean coffees (all Starbucks) from my cousin :)

The best gift of all had to be the one my dad gave my mom, he didn't even tell me about it prior. He surprised her with 2 tickets for a Caribbean Cruise! She was seriously in tears :)

So it was a great Christmas. I'm back to work Monday :( I've gotten so used to sleeping in till noon the past few days, gonna be tough to get up early.

I am totally exhausted right now. Amazing how the holidays wipe you out! Rest assured though, I have been eating like a mad woman for the past week, I also really didn't work out, I only managed to use my moms treadmill once :)

So right now me and my boyfriend are going to watch 27 Dresses, much to his dismay ;)
Here's a pic he took of me a few mins ago, I am exhausted, you can tell.

I did 45 mins on my mos treadmill this morning and then did 25 minutes of yoga. Felt so good :)
Tomorrow we are all heading to the mall for some last minute Christmas Shopping. My aunt and uncle already gave me my gift, they wanted me to open it so bad..a $100 gift card to La Senza and a $100 gift card for MAC cosmetics. I was so excited !!

Home for the holidays

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Good afternoon! I have just arrived at my parents for a glorious week of relaxing. No work for 1 whole week! I have extended family flying in from Ontario tomorrow, cousins who I only see at Christmas, so I'm really excited!

Needless to say, I have been pigging out for the past few days on junk food. My work had gotten a whole ton of catered goodies in yesterday, a lot of them being baked goods and I went nuts, just because they were all so darn good and tempting.

No worries though, my mom has an awesome treadmill here I can use everyday :) My boyfriend will be coming here tomorrow also and spending a few nights :) I'm soo excited for Christmas dinner! My mom makes the best Christmas dinners :) Last Christmas I wasn't at my best, so I really didn't eat at all. Damn Eating disorder :( But this year I will definitely make up for it! I will post lots of pics soon! I love being home. makes me feel so happy :)

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Off to eat more cookies now!

Dreaming Of A white Christmas

I am so hoping for this Image and video hosting by TinyPic
But instead, have a whole lot of this :( Image and video hosting by TinyPic. Blah.

Good Evening! I feel like I have been abandoning my blog lately, but work has me so busy! It"s a busy season for people to take trips, so I have to plan over 50 trips right now! Good news is, I'm almost done. Friday, everyone will be on way to their destinations :)

I'm till on my oatmeal for breakfast kick. I can't get enough of them :)
My eating lately has been so crazy! But in a good way. I'm eating way more than I ever have and don't feel too bad about it. last night, I had a bowl of cereal, after I was done I decided that i wanted another bowl..so I did! And felt good about it. back in the day, I would have went for a 10 mile jog to burn the few calories off.

This is a recipe I made for dinner last night, and am having the leftovers for dinner today,

Sweet Potatoes with Tempeh

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I
ngredients

1/4 cup reduced-sodium tamari
1 tablespoon mirin (sweet Japanese cooking wine)
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 (8-ounce) package tempeh, cut into bite-size chunks
2 medium sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds), peeled (optional) and cut into bite-size pieces
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon canola oil
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
Method

Put tamari, mirin, granulated garlic, onion powder and sesame oil into a wide, shallow dish and stir to combine. Add tempeh, toss to coat, cover and set aside to let marinate for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, ginger, cinnamon and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the marinade from the tempeh. Set the yams aside.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain tempeh then add and cook, turning frequently, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish, toss with sweet potatoes, salt and pepper then cover with foil and bake until sweet potatoes are tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Oh my goodness this was absolutely delicious! It is honestly the first time I have ever tried tempeh, and I LOVE it! I have seen Heather (Health, Happiness and Hope) use it quite a bit in her wraps and decided to buy a pack. Best decision ever. I will definitely be buying it again and making this recipe again.

I still have not had any time to even try my new teas out, so this evening I will be having some and will definitely review tomorrow :)

Tonight is going to a relaxing night, I'm going to chill and watch some Gossip Girl :)

I went one more Christmas get together at a friends, nothing too fancy, I leave you with some pics from that evening :)

What's This? A Weekday Post?!!

Hello!! I haven't posted on a weekday in quite awhile due to work and being so exhausted in the evening :) I got off work a little early today to go to my boyfriends Christmas work party :) There is going to be a ton of tempting food there! I just have to restrain myself and stick to the healthier things. Tomorrow is a glorious day off of work! I know I'll probably be out a little late tonight so I took the day of just in case ;)

I have seriously been eating my weight in sweet potatoes lately. Mainly in he form of rounds. So good. Oatmeal every morning still..pumpkin oats! Love them.

I've also been on a little tea kick as of lately, I am kinda getting sick of my holiday teas, so I went and got a few new ones :)

I haven't tried any of these yet, but I will review them as soon as I do! I'm just finishing off my Candy cane lane, I have 2 teabags left. I love that tea so much! I have the Sugar Plum Spice, which I DO NOT like at all. Bleh. It was actually pretty nasty! I cannot find Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride anywhere here! I really want to try it :)

Hopefully tomorrow morning I can go swimming and maybe get some yoga in. I haven't worked out in a few days an I totally notice it. The weather here is atrocious, so no jogging at all :( Too cold!

We are off soon..here's a pic of us all dudded up for our evening out..haha.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Ugh, my hair looks awful! I'm putting it up so it wont look so bad :) Update tomorrow!! Have a great night! xoxo


Question: What is your favorite tea? I am looking for more varieties!

X mas tree update

I dug my tree out of a gross closet that it's been in since last January and opened up the box and this HUGE spider came crawling out right towards me!!! It is seriously the biggest spider I have ever seen in my life! I couldn't even kill it because it crawled away so fast under the couch. Now I can't find it!! EW. I tried to take a quick pic of it with my Blackberry, but it was too fast! Now I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight until I find it and kill it!!

Just thought I would share that little horror story with you!

Now I'm off to try to find it. I have goosebumps just thinking about it :(

Sunny Sunday

Wow, It's been a week since I posted! Sorry :( Been so busy with work and Christmas Shopping.

The weather here is so amazing lately. Super cold..gets to about -3 at night but really sunny, clear and cold in the day. I love it. We've had so much rain lately, that this is a refreshing change.

So I had a few e mails asking how my adventures went with introducing bread back into my diet. I'm happy to say that it's been great! No problems at all. I think I might want to try a different bread next time though. If anyone has any suggestions, throw them my way!

I went to Costco with my mom on Monday evening and got a HUGE Maranatha Almond Butter (737 gram jar) for $5.99! and a giant tub of Sabra Roasted red pepper Hummus. Yum.

I also a scored a gigantic bag of this

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

It was only $20 for a Huge bag. My mom also bought me some salmon and a bag of avocados, and I ended up making this

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Salmon and Avocado Salad.




Ingredients

1 pound wild Alaska salmon fillets or steaks, poached, grilled or broiled, cooled
1 ripe avocado, peeled and cubed
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons capers
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs, such as dill, basil, parsley, tarragon and/or chives
Sea salt and ground black pepper
Lemon wedges for garnish
Method

Break cooked salmon into chunks in a bowl. Gently toss with remaining ingredients. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend. Serve with lemon wedges.

So easy and so good.

I was up super early this morning and went for a swim at the pool :)
I then did a bit of yoga when I came home and some weights.

Today is pretty much a chill day. Just relax and watch some movie maybe and FINALLY put up my Christmas Tree!!

I went to the mall with a few friends yesterday and I needed boots in a huge way and ended up buying boots that my friends all hate..Uggs.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Yup, those ones, in that exact color. I know a lot of people dislike them, but I love them. I had a black pair a few years back that I was in love with. So comfortable!

I'm about to make some oatmeal, then dig my Christmas tree out and start decorating!

I leave you with some random pics from this weekend! Enjoy your Sunday! And I promise to update more often! I also have some great reviews to do from some amazing stuff I received in the mail!!

Long, Lazy Weekend

Happy Sunday!

I've had such a great, relaxing weekend :) Did a lot of cooking, shopping and sleeping!
Saturday I went and did some Christmas shopping for the familia..and bought myself some perfume..Britney Spears new one..Circus Fantasy

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I love her perfumes..my fave one is Fantasy. I'm all out though :(.This one is pretty sweet smelling, so if you like sweeter smelling perfumes then you would for sure like this!

I also hit up Whole Foods, got my mom a $100 gift certificate from there. She, like me, LOVES Whole Foods!. I also bought a ton of sweet potatoes, broccoli, bananas, oat bran and some Lara bars, which I haven't had in quite a while.

Tonight for dinner I am making a veggie lasagna :) My boyfriend is very unsure about this, he is a big meat eater and amazingly has never had a veggie lasagna! Hopefully he likes it :)

Yesterday morning (very early), I went for a 1 hour swim at the pool..felt so good. After shopping, I came home so exhausted and took a 3 hour nap! Ha ha. It was much needed.

Friday evening I attempted to make homemade Butternut Squash soup..and it was amazing!
I have tons left, so I'm going to be bringing it to work for lunch this week :)

Yesterday I bought some Whole Grain Bread..I haven't bought bread in a long time..it has always been my "danger" food. But I am slowly trying o introduce it back into my diet. I have to get over my fear of carbs.

Back to work in the AM..then another appointment with my nutritionist. She'll be glad to see that I am introducing some bread back into my life!

This evening I am gong to do some yoga, which is getting a bit easier :), (I may need more of a challenge now Heather!), Watch some TV, and play some more with my new Blackberry!! I totally think they are better than the I Phones ;)

Have a great week!!!

Randomness

Hello Bloggies !

Yesterday I finally got rid of my old junkie cell phone, and got a new phone!!! this one

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


I LOVE it! I can't stop looking at it :) I've wanted a Blackberry for soooo long. I love that it's pink too :)

I've been doing a lot of yoga lately (thanks for the great recs Heather):) and been pretty much addicted to huge salads with everything in them. Lots of green smoothies, lots of sweet potatoes and lots of Oatmeal!

Really not much else going n!...I went to a friends yesterday and she got a new Pomeranian..sooo cute! Here's a pic







I'm off to catch up on some blogs and then off to bed..I will post more tomorrow for sure :) have a good night!

Refreshed

Good Morning! Just got back from an awesome swimming session and I feel so refreshed!
I'm going to download some yoga for this evening (thanks Heather!).

Heading out to breakfast now with the boyfriend, and then Whole foods again!, I would seriously move my bed in there and sleep there if I could!

Then tonight we are going to see a movie..2012..not really my kinda move, but since I dragged the boyfriend to New Moon, I feel I owe him one :)

Tomorrow I'm off to search for yet another new camera, since I lost mine in the States :(
Hopefully I can find something within my budget.

I may also head over to Starbucks after breakfast and grab a bag of coffee beans for my french press! they have the Christmas Blend out, which is my fave!

Hope you all have a wonderful Saturday!

xoxoxooxo


PS..If someone could please tell me how to link to another blog on my posts, that would be awesome! I just can't figure it out!!

TGIF

Hello! Another work week done! Yay. Tonight I am just staying in and relaxing.

I went to the midnight showing of New Moon last night..it was great! I was a little tired for work this morning though. It really was well worth it!

I went to Whole Foods after work to replenish my supply of Maranatha and that's when discovered Sunflower seed butter! I bought some and I have to tell you, this stuff is sooo delicious!

I also got a new kind of milk to try

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Hopefully this wont upset my stomach! Most milk does, unfortunately.

So on Monday, I was supposed to go on my Ireland trip, but me and my boyfriend were talking about it and realized that I didn't want to leave him for two weeks :( He can't afford to come with me right now either. So I couldn't get my money back for the tickets, as they were non refundable..so I went to the travel agency and was able to move my trip to May 12th...and my boyfriend can come with me!! i was so happy that I was able to do this! he's going to start saving now.

I went to my nutritionist today for a follow up, and to show her my food journal that I am keeping, and she says that I am doing great. I'm getting the appropriate amount of calories needed :) I just really need to exercise more, have been super lazy about exercise for the past week and a half. So tomorrow morning I am going swimming at the pool and maybe going to attempt some yoga in the afternoon. Yoga is so hard for me for some reason..I can't seem to hold the poses for long and I get so exhausted within 10 minutes!

So if anyone can recommend some yoga downloads for beginners, that aren't too hard, it would be greatly appreciated! I have tried a few from Yoga download.com, the core one..and it was brutal for me. Maybe I'm just downloading the wrong ones? I don't know! But I am determined to get better at it :)

My boyfriend and I made a roasted chicken and mashed sweet potatoes for dinner..it was absolutely delicious. I totally got him hooked on sweet potatoes now ;)

I got an awesome package in the mail from my best friend who just moved away to the states. I asked her to look for certain flavors of The Odwalla protein drinks and these are the ones she sent

Odwalla vanilla protein monster

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Odwalla Pumpkin protein (can't wait to try this!)

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Odwalla Pink Poetry

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I never heard of this one before, it has plum, dark sweet cherry,guava and other juices that are blended with hibiscus, cranberry and green tea extracts, along with vitamins c and e, along with iron and calcium. Sounds good to me!

I can't wait to try these out! As far as I know, we don't have any of these flavors in Canada, or maybe I just haven't seen them :)

Off to read blogs and then bathe and bed!! have a great night and a great weekend!!

The adorable Heather from Health, Happiness and Hope is having another awesome giveaway..

Deliciously lazy Sunday.

Despite the rainy, cold weather outside, I am loving my Sunday :) I love with his new job I get weekends off :)

Today so far has been lots of french press coffee

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

And a huge bowl of oatmeal

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I'm still in my pajamas! Just finished watching The Ugly Truth. I'm going to be watching Twilight later.I have never seen it! I read the book though :)

Heather from Health, Happiness and Hope has inspired me to make sweet potato rounds for dinner later. After I saw hers in her post yesterday, I was craving them!

I think now I might go take a nice hot bath, then I have a friend coming over, and that means more coffee!! Then the boyfriend will be over this evening..much to his dismay I am making him watch Twilight! ;)

Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday :)

Fresh Start

Hi Everyone !!! Sorry I have been away so long..I had such a hectic week!

I am no longer employed at Sephora..I loved that job so so much but I went back to being a travel agent :) Which is my first true love.
I had applied at a Travel agency way back after I got laid off at he other travel agency i worked at. well just a week ago they called me in for an interview! This is an amazing job, it's challenging and fun. I make more money (which I could use) and have great benefits!

It was a tough decision to leave Sephora, but in the end I knew I wanted to go back to being a Travel agent. I really missed it.

I have my Ireland trip coming up on November 23rd, s I had to let my new job know about it and they were cool about it. I'm shortening my trip by a week though. So excited !

I have been addicted to green smoothies for the past 2 weeks..they make me feel so great and energetic!

As usual I have been eating a ton of oatmeal and sweet potatoes. A whole lot of huge salads. I feel so good about my eating right now, I just hope it stays that way for the long run :)

I've also been doing a lot of baking..I'm really starting to love it. It's very relaxing. I don't necessarily eat all the stuff I bake myself, but rather I give it to family and friends..and they love it! This is a blog I have been addicted to lately,

http://www.bakerella.com/

She makes the most gorgeous desserts ever! My goal is to be able to bake like that one day :)

This delicious tofu was my dinner this evening

Braised Tofu in Spicy Sesame, Peanut Sauce


Image and video hosting by TinyPic

# 1/2 block of Extra Firm Tofu
# 3 Cloves Garlic
# 1 inch Piece of Fresh Ginger Root, Grated
# 2-3 Hot Chili Pepper
# Broccoli
# Bell Pepper
# 1/2 Onion, Cut in to big chunks
# 2 Teaspoons Sesame Seeds, (Lightly toasted)
# 1.5 Tablespoons Organic Chunky Peanut Butter (Use smooth peanut butter if you don’t want the pieces)
# 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
# Hot Sauce ( to taste)
# Salt
# 1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil + 1.5 Teaspoon oil (any cooking oil

It was so good and so filling. I love tofu!
Yesterday was such a fun day..one of my best fiends mom is a teacher at an elementary school, and they are having a party (well today they had it) and we got to help decorate! Took us from 3pm to 9 pm..but it was so much fun! here are some silly pics! the decorations were so cute.

Alive and Well !

Hello!! Sorry I've been away so long, but I convinced my boyfriend to take me to the lovely USA for 2 days! We went over to Seattle and it was AMAZING! I love it there! I was able to bring home so many things from Whole Foods that we don't have in Canada. I'll list the goodies later.

I lost my camera there AND my new Ipod! Ugh. They were both fairly new, so now I have to save $$ to get new ones. For now I'll have to use my camera phone :( My cold is much better and I went for an early morning swim at the pool! It felt awesome! The weather here is depressing though..windy and wet :(


I downloaded some yoga last night from yoga download.com..and wow.I only did the beginners and it was brutal! Kudos to you ladies who can do the advanced in full! This is tough. I was sweating and shaking only 10 minutes in! But I'm going to continue to do this in the evening, I know I can make it through a whole session eventually! :)

Lately I have been on a major oatmeal kick, I've been eating it for breakfast and lunch! I'd eat it for dinner to if I could, but I need a little variation :) I've been eating a ton of roasted Butternut Squash for dinner, lots of kale chips and a ton of roasted brussel sprouts. Yum.

So here are some of the goods that I picked up in the US..none of which I can find here in Canada
*Kashi Honey Sunshine cereal
*Kashi Heart to Heart Warm Cinnamon Oat cereal
*Tons of Fage
*Celestial Seasonings Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride Tea, Candy Cane Lane and Sugar Plum Spice..I can't wait to try these!
*PB&Co The Bees Knees and Mighty Maple Peanut Butters

I went to Starbucks this morning and The Holiday Cups are out!!

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I got a Gingerbread Latte..yum. Tomorrow I'm going to try a peppermint Mocha :)
I also bought a few mus, I desperately need them..They look a little sumthin like this

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

So 1 more day off.I took a week off..then back to work.

Off to catch up on blogs and some major cleaning :) Have an awesome Thursday!

Happy Halloween !

Hey everyone! I was supposed to go to a Halloween party tonight, but I have a bad cold :( That's ok though..I've already been to 2 great ones! I'm just chilling at home in my warm jammies, watching some TV :)

Yesterday was my parents 25th wedding anniversary..it was so much fun! It was held at their law firm (they are both attorneys in the same firm)..and there was s much great food!! Here's a pic of My mom, dad, me and my 3 little cousins before we left for their party :)

Halloween !!!

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Happy almost Halloween!

Sorry haven't updated in awhile..been soo busy. First off, my headache FINALLY went away :) Second, I went to not one, but 2 awesome Halloween parties this week..and 2 more to go :) I'll have some pics at the end of this post, my silly costumes and all :)

So I have a few reviews to do on some awesome Natures Path cereals I got :)

first off...Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Nature's path crunchy vanilla sunrise. This cereal has such a great vanilla flavor! There are also flakes, puffs and some granola clusters! It was absolutely delicious..I highly recommend this :)

Second: Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Natures Path Crunchy Maple Sunrise. This one had the exact same flakes, puffs and granola as the vanilla, but I wasn't digging this flavor as much. I found it a little too sweet and too much of a strong maple flavor...but if you are a huge fan of maple, then you will love this!

I also have the Natures path Flax Plus Pumpkin Raisin Crunch, which I haven't tried yet, but will very soon!

I've been so into oatmeal in the morning..I crave it almost every day. Pumpkin oat bran with honeycrisp apples and almond butter. Yum. You seriously gotta try it. There are so many options with oatmeal, you can top it with almost anything you like! It's very filling and healthy!

my other new obsession? kale chips. I eat these everyday! I bring a bagful for lunch, and I eat them as a snack in the evening if I'm hungry. Delicious!

I also went on major shopping spree at Forever 21 today! I'll post what I bought tomorrow!

Day off tomorrow!! yay

Here are the Halloween pic from Party 1, where I'm not too sure what I was supposed to be dressed as!
