christmas day.

hello ladies and gents!@!

today i spent the day in bed until an ungodly hour and it was a nice relaxing day. for eats today, my mom made a warm onion dip for our get-together last night at the days and i had some of the leftovers for lunch with fritos. for my "dinner", my dad made lobster chowder and it's ah-maz-ing!!

my christmas was small because of the recession but i loved all my gifts and so did my parents!!


it was a great holiday!

almost christmas eve.

hello ladies and gents!!

so friday night my mother and i went to acapulco and i ordered the mexican ceaser salad with sauteed shrimp and it was AH-MAZ-ING!!

here's a pic:


and since acapulco was in the spirit of christmas, they had a tree DECORATED!!


and while wondering outside the resturant i decided to take a pic of the outside decorated palm trees:


and lately i have been having yogurt messes for dessert and here's 2 from past nights:

1:


2(this one had vanilla no fat greek yogurt from trader joes, clif mojo pretzel bar, and pom seeds from costco:


i have been eating bad for the past two days but i have been going to the gym faithfully. today i ran 1 minute and then walked 5 minutes x3. i went 2.2 miles and it was an awesome workout. no pain the calfs. can you believe that tomorrow officially starts and 4 more days until christmas eve? i'm so excited to see my presents and seeing my parents faces when they open their own. i <3 the holiday season.

holiday season.

hello dollfaces!!

i just wanted to start this by saying i am sorry i haven't updated any sooner. i have been busy going to dinner out, dinner parties, and occasional christmas parties. unfortunately this year my brother won't be home because he is going to be in sydney mines, canada. christmas eve though, we are spending the evening at a friends house just for the night. steak and whatever you can think of. our house really isn't decorated much this year because we have been majorly busy outside the house with dinner parties and taking care of the house while it rains.

monday night though we had an awesome dinner at five crowns and my dinner was prime rib, yorkshire pudding, creamed spinach, and creamed corn. holy heavens, it was awesome.

here's din din:


and for the holiday season you want to see our tree right?


and peirre jouet champagne, the best champagne out there.



i have been going to the gym for the past two weeks and only have taken 1 day off. since i am new to the whole working out thing, i have only built myself up to 2 miles. my clothes are starting to fit my differently and i am having to buy new clothes, so excited. i really really really want to fit into a pair of seven jeans by next december or sooner.

<3 happy holidays!

shopping.

hi bb's!

so today was a very good day, well yesterday and today. so monday sean and i went to 24 hour fitness because i signed up for a free week pass. sean is a member of 24 hour and he totally convinced me to make the switch to 24 hour fitness. i want to switch over so bad. not only is there a gym 5 minutes away, i could ride a bike there. that's how close it is. for the past week i have gone 3.1 and 3.2 with intervals at 4.3. yea, i am slow. but i have only been doing this seriously for about 2 weeks. i have to admit i have had a problem for the past week. my shoes were size 7's and i'm a size 8. i got a major bruise on my big toe and now it's purple. i also have to admit i have lost 25 pounds. yay. yay. yay. i have to admit something else, today was a majorly bad day for me eating. i started with a chipotle salad around 11:30ish and then had a tiny tomato and pesto tart and just now i went to jack in the box and got a egg nog milkshake and mozzerela sticks. but i have to tell you, it's the best combo in the world. also today i went to sports authority and bought the following:

new nike plus shoes for the nike sensor:


shoes i actually bought:


and my new fleece pants for working out in:


I WANT A 24HOURFITNESS MEMBERSHIP FOR CHRISTMAS!! or my BIRTHDAY!!

1 dress size down.

hello ladies and gents!!

today has been a good day. i went to the gym and went 1.2 miles on the treadmill for 25 minutes. i went walked and ran between 2.8 and 4.3. yes, i did a very slow jog but it's the most i have ran in a very long time. an hour after i came home, i went to chipotle and bought a steak salad.

it looked something like this:


the dressing at chipotle is amazing and i recommend everyone to try it, it's so so good.

also, pinkberry has peppermint shavings now and it's so pretty:


i will be going to the gym tomorrow and i hope to go a little farther!!

gym time.

hello dollfaces!!

today has been a very very good day. first off, my mom and i went to olive garden today and i had the 5 cheese baked ziti. it was delicious.

it looked something like this:


secondly, i went to the gym and had an awesome run and fast walk on the treadmill. i went 1.2 miles under 20 minutes. personal goal!!

thirdly, my egg nog 3 in 1 came from philosophy today. i was tres excited when i came home from the gym and got the package.

i'm sorry i don't have more eats but what i have been eating hasn't really been picture worthy.:(

the biggest loser.

hi lovelies.

i just wanted to make this a quick post because the biggest loser is on right now and i am missing it. i am so glad that amanda made it through the final 4. yay! i have been trying to eat right since thursday and friday because i was having too many sweets. pie for that matter. my dad made a pumpkin cheesecake and it's so hard to refrain from having any.

yesterday i went to downtown brea and i saw this:


and then on my way back to the car i went and saw that the fountain had bubbles in it. so here in orange county or north orange county people think it's funny to put soap in the fountains. people are so dumb and stupid. do they not realize that the people who own the property have to hire people to clean out the fountain and make it work normal again?
here's the evidence:


i will be back later, but right now i want to finish watching the biggest loser!

thanksgiving.

hello bbs!!!

i just wanted to post to say that i hope all of you hd a wonderful holiday and made wonderful memories this thanksgiving.

here are a couple of pictures:

green bean casserole:


my plate:


the turkey:


homemade cheesecake and pumpkin pie martini's:


so thanksgiving was great but then in the middle of the cooking the dinner my family had a hilarious moment. my dad decided to take a nap from 4 to 6 in the midst of all the cooking for the meal. we didn't end up eating the thanksigving meal until 9 at night. i only had a small piece of turkey and the one that i did have, was really dry. i guess this year we bought a different kind and everybody but me loved the turkey. well, my dad and i didn't like it. next year for thanksigving he says that he is going to cook the turkey in a bag.

also, 4 momth old soleil decided to join us for dinner at the table. she did have to go to bed towards the end of the dinner but at least we got to spend time with her. today our guests left to go to the desert. yay, silence. they are coming back on sunday night and then i think they are leaving on monday. i loved seeing soleil but having them here makes the 3 of us so exhausted. soleil is so beautiful and the cutest baby in the world.

soleil:


goodnight yalll!!

eats.

hi peeps!!

so thursday i went to trader joes and the only things i basically bought was holiday junk food. trader joes has the best holiday junk food EVA!!

case in point:


another point:


chocolate covered peanut butter filled pretzels. OMG, this are amazing!! i wish i could eat the entire bag but 1. that would not be good for my health and 2. they make me sick!! that sucks.

so tonight i had 1 egg and 2 egg whites with oraganic ketchup with 2 16oz. of water. i was not hungry when 8 rolled around and then proceeded to make myself this:

plain chobani yogurt with vanilla sugar and poemgranate seeds:


the yogurt and the seeds is the best combo in the world and i loved every bite!!

and then i had chocolate chip cookies, hot fresh out of the oven:


i have had some amazing eats and wanted to share with you all, i hope you enjoyed. tomorrow my brother and sis in law are coming and i couldn't be more excited!!

new moon. <3

hi hi hi!!

i just wanted to post real quick to tell you how amazing new moon was this early late morning. i went to the 11:30 showing and when i went into the theater to grab my seat there was only 2 other people in the theater. as i waited for the movie to start only about 20 to 30 people came in. 40 people grabbing seats not to be in each other's view was a challenge and it was apparent at how people were spaced in their seats. we were placed in the older building and i was tres disappointed. doesn't new moon deserve to be in the new and better building?? i guess not to amc fullerton.

the movie, r.pat. k.stew. and taylor and the little part dakota fanning had in the movie, was amazing. i don't really want to give the movie away but as i came out of the theater i felt better about myself and the day. the movie made me happy. how many movies make you happy??? not many.



GO SEE NEW MOON!!

osaka.

hello everyone!!

not much has been going on in my life but i have been having some amazing food lately from around the neighborhood. two nights ago we had osaka and it was the bomb. i had ramen with no meat, shrimp yakisoba and some california roll.

pictures:

ramen, no meat:


shrimp yakisoba:

tonight for dinner i had a caprese sandwich from cortina's in anaheim and it was ok. saturday my brother, sister-in-law and soleil are coming for thanksgiving. i can't wait!!

babita's and starbizzle.

hi homies!! what's up ya'll??

so saturday i had the priviedge to go to the best mexicuisine resturant in all of so cal called babitas. the traffic to get there was horrendous and i hated every minute of it. me being angry at the classical traffic and at the traffic, i was not a very happy camper. when we did finally get there, we got the best table in the room. this resturant is only 1 room with 10 tables. very exclusive.

dinner started off with guac and chips and salsa. we then all ordered the soupa nueva which was cream of mushroom and butternut squah soup:


second dish for my dinner was sauteed red snapper with pomegranate seeds and sauce:


during dinenr i had the best sangria on the planet. it was sweet and went down very easy. i easily had two glasses:


for the rest of the weekend i relaxed and watched my favorite team USC get trampled by stanford. major bummer. oh and i wanted to mention last night's game between the colts and the patriots. wasn't that the best game ever for the colts? hell yea baby, they won!!!

upland.

hello everyone!!

today was a bit of adventure but i loved every minute of it. my dad and i drove to upland to get some nu yawk pizza today. i'm sorry i didn't take any pictures, but picture in your head new york style pizza with cheese and some italian seasoning. i had two slices. i didn't want to look like a crazy woman taking pitures of my food in a busy restuarant. we then drove to ontario because my dad had some work business to deal with and i stayed in the car occupied on my iphone for 45 minutes. :/ we then headed west towards brea and traffic was horrible. there was an accident and plugging up the entire freeway for miles. you know, traffic in so cal is the worse. we stopped at starbizzle in brea and they had no christmas cups. the drink was fab though. grande latte with 3 shots of eggnog. heaven in a cup.

for dinner i had a tuna sandwich on rye and again no picture. i also had parmensan and garlic natural kettle chips with no cholesterol and no trans fat. they are also fab.

i then went to pinkberry and came across this cow.


and decorated my bed with christmas lights:


today has been so busy and i loved it!! it's the weekend, yay!!

simple eating.

hello dollfaces!!

for the past week, i have been eating very simple. i have had egg whites with trader joes organic ketchup 2 out the 4 nights this week. for lunch yesterday i had a iced gingerbread clif bar. tuesday night i had a asian salad with sesame dressing. other than the simple eating not much has been going on. i did acknowledge though, i totally missout out on the foodbuzz festival. i am majorly bummed out about that. everyone who went looks like they had an awesome time in san francisco!!
