Breakfast!

So my biggest eating problem was breakfast.  I hated eating it, and when I would I would ONLY eat a hot breakfast.  However, since I had hardly any time to make food, I often ate fast food breakfasts.  Definitely not the healthiest thing ever.  My amazing roommate, however, introduced me to this awesome breakfast that is warm, healthy, and most importantly, FILLING!  It's called, Eggs in a Basket, and yes, I am eating it while I am writing it.  How do you make this magical breakfast?  Oh yeah, it's also easy!  For sure!  Take 2 pieces of whole wheat bread (or other healthy bread... no white you naughty cheaters) and use something round (we use a small cup) to cut a hole in the center (don't cut through the crusts!).  After that, put it on a greased frying pan that's on Medium High.  Make sure you but the centers on there too, so you get them good and toasted.  When the first side gets somewhat crispy, flip the holed bread.  Crack an egg in the hole in the center and let it fry.  After the white is done enough that it won't break with a spatula, flip it.  When it's as done as you want, take it off and enjoy!  My roommate puts jam on her toast centers, I dip mine in the yolk!  I like mine with orange juice, but your beverage is your choice!

A New Discovery

Oh!  And while I have you reading, check out this new blog I found.  It's just getting started, but I think it should be fun!  It's a friend of a friend of a friend's blog, so I sorta didn't 'stumble' upon it, but I wanted to support the girl too

YIPES!

Has it been WAYYYYYY too long since I posted? I vote yes.  Evidently sadness/depression (I hesitate to use the word depression since I do not have clinical depression, but was rather in a depressed mood)  cause loss of motivation.  Who'da thunkit?  But now, my life is back on track!  I moved in with a roommate who is not only amazing but will surely change my life for the better!  Already I am eating at home way more often because if I don't have time to make food, she does!  She has also introduced me to new eating habits and new friends.  I get out more, that's for sure.  Also, we will walk/bike to school together instead of driving.  I want to start running with her, even though I know it will be difficult to keep up with her tiny self.  I guess I decided to repost today because I had an AWESOME discovery!  I went out of town last night and spent the night at the hotel.  Now I'm sure we all know those tiny hotel towels that could barely cover one boob on some people.  Yeah, well usually those would cover about 75-80% of me, with a huge space that I always tried to put at a hip when I was around not family.  Well today, the towel covered almost all of me with just a little split!  And I haven't even been trying that hard!  It's a great feeling, and I cannot wait to continue writing about my success.  OF course, I'll also include some of the reasons I know I have been losing, but it would take too long to post in one post.

Depression Sucks

Discovery:  You know how when someone is crying, and then someone hugs them, they start crying harder?  That extra burst of tears is gratitude for knowing someone cares.

No one should be allowed to cry from depression in the middle of a group of 'friends' and have no one notice or care....  This happened to me tonight.

Studio Success and Salad.... Cravings?

Do you know how great life is?  Life is absolutely fabulous!  I get to seen Johnny 4 times a week - Church, FHE, and the 2 days we have religion class together :D!  You better believe it!  But yeah - and I am being great!  I am now organized - reading all my required readings in class - studying - making flash cards - typing up notes - and practicing daily!  You better believe it! 

So yesterday I had to play in studio class.  I was a little nervous but not too nervous especially because I had just played for my professor who talked about how great my tone was and how she could really tell I practiced!  YEAH DAWG!  So then the scary professor who very well hate me had the first comment at the end and guess what she said!  '*Luna*, this was your strongest performance thusfar' YOU BETTAH BELIEVE IT (I almost didn't!)  I've never been so proud!  I'm going to kick booty at GRH next.

So you could not believe how much I have been craving salad lately!  The reason?  A DELICIOUS blend of Dole Mediterrainian Blend Salad and Light Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette!  NO JOKE!  I've been having a salad almost nightly - an unknown occurrance for this house!  Try it, it's delicious - and low fat!  Also, I've begun shopping at the local Food Co-Op.  I buy my milk there (cheap and organic), veggies, bulk anything, bulk spices, it's amazing!  If you have a Co-Op locally, get your fruits, veggies, and other goods there and support your local farmers!  It's delicious, fresh, organic, healthy, and basically YES!

Another thing I'm doing to avoid eating out is preplanning my meals for the week and the next week.  Then I can know what ingrediants I need and I know what dishes I need and there's no more 'oh I don't know what to eat' and then when I finally decide I don't have the ingrediants, time, or patience to make it.  Yeah - this definitely solves that.  I also shop at a local grocery store - cheaper and fresher - for the foods I can't get at the Co-Op.  I don't totally have time to work out all the time, but I think I'm making major improvements!

Shake it!

I can hardly believe what happened last night! I went clubbing (it was an 18+ club all you nit pickers, so no lawbreaking), and I was COMPLETELY comfortable!  I wore something I felt great in, had some not-so-healthy bar food dinner, paid my door fee, and had the time of my life!  I have never felt so comfortable!  A girl I work with (who totally hates me) was there 'chillin' and I didn't even care that she was watching me and judging me while I was on the dance floor.  Not to mention I worked off all those calories I ate from sweating and dancing my ass off!  I had so much fun! I was dancing, shaking it, and I actually danced in a way that I never danced before!  I did the whole 'sexy' thing and hell, I had my ass on another girls crotch and didn't feel self concious!  This is SO crazy for me - but I LOVED it!

This morning I woke up, looked at my profile in the mirror, and was like DAMN!  Check me out!  I don't think I've had real crazy physical change, but I had a change of mind.  This will definitely become a more common occurance!

The murderer called school

I'm beginning to find keeping up on posting - and being good - is becoming more difficult as school goes on.  However - I have been cooking at home more - which is a big plus - and I've been packing lunch in my bento box.  My goal is packed lunch Monday, Wednesday, and Friday - and 'naughty days' on Tuesday and Thursday.  I haven't had much of a chance to work out because of all the homework and studying I've done after class - but hopefully after I get settled in it will be better.  Really - all my days have been is class and studying, but I have been doing great at being more organized and better studying!  Well I have to go write up some biology flash cards - but thanks for your help!
