7.2 earthquake!!

hello homeskillets!!

so today in southern california, we had a HUGE EARTHQUAKE!! i was standing up during the entire thing, and i was getting nauseous!! it was so weird and really really long, i'm talking like a minute. (45 seconds but felt like a minute)

last night we made cupcakes and the recipe we used was out of food and wine!! IT WAS AH-MAZ-ING!!! here's a pic of cupcake and glass of milk:


i'm gonna stop here and get use to the aftershocks!

before and after pics.

as you all know i have been gone at least a month. well around march 4 or 5th, i was in san jose for about 4 days. i then came back to orange county and while my mom was on vacation, i didn't do any exercising. i lost a total of 2 or 3 pounds. when my mom came back, i took another week off and lost another 2 or 3 pounds. but if you are wondering what i looked like when i was at my heaviest, here it is:



and here i am a couple of nights ago:



this past week, i went to the gym 3 times. here are a couple of eats from the past week:

brasied fennel with olive oil, salt, pepper, and parmensan cheese:


bbq'd lamb:


peanut butter frozen yogurt with oreo pieces, reeses pieces, and chopped almonds:


those are a couple of eats from the past week. i don't know what i am doing tonight but the tournament is on!! i don't want to say this but i really really really think that kentucky is going to win the thing!

hello everybody!!!

i just wanted to make a quick post while steve martin and alec baldwin make fun of the precious cast. today i went to starbizzle to start of the day and it was exactly what i needed. i ordered a venti lced latte and put in one sweet'n'low pack.

demonstration:


then for lunch i had a tomato tart from pascal's in newport. yum to the o. no pictures of that. for snacks i had flour tortillas from anchos in riverside and they have the best tortillas in southern california. they.are.awesome.

for din din i had cereal because i am SERIOUSLY watching my weight. and i am down to 35 pounds from what i weighed in college. it's going to be a tough road.

also on the tpic of non food, i recently bought a "gold" ipod nano. 16gb. here is a lovely pic of the awesome thing:




and recently i have been looking for music to fill it up with. i found the vs pink spring break 2010 playlist and it's filled with amazing artists i have never heard of. i also found au revoir simone from homegirl can eat's blog or her recent post. and just random other music by pete tong. he is seriously amazing. also last weekend we went to lb steak on santana row and we had an amazing meal. i suggest all of those who live in the area, go their immediately. here is a pic from the night:



enjoy the oscar's!!

time to be honest.

for this post it's going to be time to be honest, plain and simple.

1. i have stoppped going to the gym because i am sick and tired of having to wait for a freakin treadmill. also when i go to bally's, i am sick and tired of working on old equipment that is not takin care of by the people who own the bally's near my house. 24 hour is good but the waiting a whole 10 minutes is really really reaLLY getting to me. i wish i could just go to the gym and hop on a treadmill and get in and out. that's all i want.

2. i have started going to lunch with my dad and he likes his fast food. i DO NOT NEED fastfood. I HAVE TO STOP EATING LUNCH WITH HIM. the one thing i do like is when we get to go to nice places for lunch. like taps and kings. yummy.

time to get honest, i need to go around the neighborhood and go on my 3-mile walk and run. also, i need to stop going to fast food places because i know in time i am only going to regain the weight i have already lost.



time to start over and get this started going again, the healthy way and they may mean i have to give up the blog. BUT, it may mean to continue with the blog because then i can show what i eat to the world and see what happens.

it's my birthday!!
