Oh Wednesday...we meet AGAIN!

Has this week been BUSY for anyone else!?!?

It just seems like my To Do List is NEVER ENDING!!

So much to do and not enough time!!!

*sigh*

I think i need an assistant....LoL

Well here is my past week (in a  nutshell)

I deem this week...the week of cooking/trying new things!!

Yes my diet is currently pretty strict (FYI 3 weeks until my competition!! WOOT WOOT!!)

I made my own home make HEALTHY peanut butter!

i made some egg white breakfast muffins!

I had to come up with some quick and easy things since i am on the go ALL THE TIME!

It saves me so much time and  hassle to just have something to grab and eat on the go!

 

This past week was DOOMS day! I had to make sure i had lost enough weight and body fat to enter into my competition ..and guess what...all the hard work in the gym...all the cutting out my favorite foods...and I DID IT! I lost my goal weight ( i actually went UNDER it...and made my body fat percentage!! 

low calorie...low fat...low carb...and HIGH in protein...oh did i mention it taste like DARK CHOCOALTE!?!? I made these amazing treats!!! Recipie to pop up on my health and fitness site TOMORROW! so if you need a good snack alternative please check it out!

may i introduce to you... Fiesta Lime Salad...i created it...and it is TO DIE FOR!!

OMG i would eat this everyday if i could!! LoL

see eating healthy and CLEAN does not have to be boring and bland!

Well that is it for me! im gonna turn off the computer and STUDY! 

i have a test in a few weeks but i want to make sure i am ready for this one...it has a TON of information that i need to make sure i know :-/

Wednesday. What a great Day :-)

*sigh*

This week indeed started off great.  It was a nice slow week (other than the fact that i had a HUGE test on Monday :-/  )

Fitness competition update:

Got my stage shoes in!!! Yes they look like stirpper shoes...LoL But they are what i have to wear

I got all the other things needed for the show.  Only thing left is to get my music together...how i am going to do my hair....oh and my suit comes in TOMORROW!!

So So So excited...its actually Dooms Day.  

I ordered the sute one size too small 

:-O

But i have been working my BUTT off in the gym so i should (well i hope and pray) have slimmed down enough to fit into it :-) pictures to come soon

Well here is what my life has been like :-)

My life: wake up...go to class...go teach fitness class....go study....go get my workout it...go teach another fitness class...after class practice posing for the competition...go home relax/study...sleep

*whew!!* yea...now you guys know why i am so busy!

on TOP of my busy schedule...i present my research at conferences.

oh...and today...i found out that i got ANOTHER paper published!

*BBBOOOMMM* that makes 2 for this year (and we are going to submit another paper soon)

My resume is going to look AMAZING!

All of my hard work is finally paying off. So happy :-)

yup...that is the Oscar Meyar Weinie mobile...and it stopped here...

OF COURSE I TOOK A STUDY BREAK TO GO SEE IT! LoL

and it was def worth the mini study break to go see it. Got stickers and those mini mobile whistles :-)

Why yes that is my TV...and for the first time in two and a half weeks i FINALLY Got to sit down and watch tv!! Yea i know...i even had to wait until last night to watch the new season opener of Grey's Anatomy!!!

Yes i know!!

Being busy def need to slow down now that my show has finally started...

and  if YOU dont know what Grey's Anatomy is you def need to watch it on Netflix!

despite me spending hours a day here...6 days a week....i have not yet gotten tired of being in this place...i actually look forward to the time i get in the gym! It has become so routine for me that i really dont like missing a workout!  But i do get one off day a week...and i had to cut some workouts short last week to study for my block test...but this week i am back in the gym.

4 WEEKS UNTIL MY COMPETITION!!

So now is the time that i put 110% into the gym and into my diet (which has been the hardest part!)

welp...that is my week :-)

I hope you guys are having a great week!

On a side note dont forget to get registered to vote!!

I am not big into politics and all that hooplah that i keep seeing in commercials and in those junk mail pamphlets i get in the mail...BUT i do think that everyone should take the time to vote in the upcoming presidential elections!

Well...hello Thursday....we meet again!!

It seems like i have a love/hate relationships with Thursdays!

It is not quite Friday but it is still kinda in the middle of the week so you know you still have to wait a little longer....*sigh*

Well look what i just did...

yup...thats right...i just signed up to run a tough mudder!

I had been debating if i was going to do it or not over the past month or so

a group of kids at my school have a team together that is going to run.  We all go to the same circuit training class and see each other regularly.

After many weeks of the hinting that they need another "strong" / "athletic" girl on their team...i gave in...

Yea google this bad boy....

its 11 miles....with 26 obstacles.... oh did i mention the mud? Or how about the electric impulse fences?  LoL....uuuuh yea...i may be slightly insane for doing this race...but it is for a good cause.  They donate a lot of the entry money to charities. and only the BEST OF THE BEST can compete and COMPLETE a tough mudder...it is suppose to take about 3 hours...or more...

oh did i mention our team name?  The Rainbow Warriors.....go ahead....you can laugh..

i did not come up with the name....

The guy who did had an idea of everyone dressing up in different colors.  I am just gonna get some tie die stuff to wear to show my true team spirit!

So wish me luck as i only have a few more weeks to train...

So much to do....so little time!!!

Yea...that seems to be how EVERY week is for me!

Have a great week guys! :-)

P.S. A few ppl sent me emails about the recipe for the stuffed bell pepper...i posted it on my health and fitness site:
http://www.infinitelifefitness.com/2012/09/26/try-out-this-recipe/

For those who try it...i hope you enjoy it!

Happy Wednesday!!

is it just me..or has this been a loooooooooooooooog week!?!

all i keep asking...."Is It Friday YET!?!?!"

my week in a nutshell...

food prep day was yesterday!!

Cooked food to get me until next Wednesday.

I am 5 weeks away from my competition so my diet will get stricter and stricter!

my roomies probably HATE me on food prep day...i hog up MOST of the space in the fridge!

 

FARMERS MARKET

Ok...i have learned to LOVE this place

get all my produce that is FRESH, and so much cheaper than the store! not to mention you get free samples and you just get to mingle and enjoy the farmers 

too a little study break and went bowling!!

the bowling alley in our town has $1 bowling on tuesday nights...talk about AWESOME!

(oh and yes...i won!)

 

one of my NEW favorite things to eat...stuffed bell pepper!

omg...so mouth watering good...and it still sticks to my strict healthy diet :-)

Is it hunting season yet!?!

I would like you guys to meet Lucy, Josephine, Rudy, & Deborah

these 4 gals love to just graze and linger around my house...all is fine until...they run into the street :-/ and if you shine your bright or honk your horn...SOMETIMES they will decide to get out of your way

UUUUHHHHHH!!!

Stupid deer...you can chill here all you want just STAY AWAY FROM MY CAR!!

 

And that is what i have been going through the past few days...

How has your week been going?

I am sure it has been WAY more exciting than mine!!

...today is Wednesday....

*sigh*

i woke up wishing it was Friday! LoL

I hope that you all are having a great week so far.

I know i am anxiously awaiting this nice relaxing weekend at home!

I have been traveling so much over the past month i have not spent one weekend at home!

It will be so nice to wake up in my own bed...go do my usual workout at my gym...get some chores around the house done...and just relax for once!

Well here are some small snap shots in "A Day In My Life" kind if images:

Kansas City Fashion Week!!

I had an amazing time. I got my hair and makeup done and i looked amazing!
The designers had some amazing collections and it was just an overall amazing time! i hope i am allowed the opportunity to be apart of it next year!

designers clothes!

OK...have you guys ever been to a restaurant called Houlihans!?!?!?

It is one of my favorites and even though i am on a strict diet i am still able to find some great items on their happy hour menu! Oh...yea have i ever mentioned how much i LOVE happy hour! 1/2 price appetizers !!

Over the past few months i have been hearing so many healthy nuts rave about Trader Joes.

I do not have one in the town i live in...BBBUTTT there was one in Kansas City...and as i drove  i made a quick U-Turn (yes a LEGAL U-Turn...LoL) to check it out...needless to say...it was love at first sight! I LOVE that store....and i will for sure be back anytime i am in KC!!

If there was ONE store i could live in...it would be this store....House of Hoops is any basketball players DREAM! Fresh bball kicks...the most recent bball gear (shirts...shorts...socks...and any other accessories)....oh did i mention wall after wall of some of the best bball shoes! I could spend HOURS in this store...sadly i was unable to find a pair of shoes that i wanted to buy. Maybe next time!!

This is my life!!! Modeling...school....working out...oh yea and healthy eating! LoL

You have to get creative with your meals so you are not eating the same things every single day! Here we have a home made HEALTHY LOW CALORIE HIGH PROTEIN meal.  Shrimp pizza (with my other veggies with my salad :-) ) 

As you can see i made dinner and just studied! I have test very frequently so i have to stay on top of what is going on in class! 

And there you have it!

That is my life the past few weeks in a nut shell!

I hope you guys are just as busy as i am! I love being busy and i would not want to change that. It makes me feel like i get so much more out of my day!

I hope that you guys are having an amazing week so far!

Who is excited that it is almost time for Halloween!?!?

I know i am!

HAPPY THURSDAY!

First i would like to say SORRY to all of you guys!!

I made some post and tried to schedule them to post while i was gone on my mini vacation the past few days...but for some reason they did not post!!

So with all of my heart i am sorry! 

I made a surprise trip to surprise Mr. Awesome this past weekend!

We had an amazing time and i took a media timeout so that we could spend all of our time with each other. 

he knows that my life revolves around my computer (not just for my blogs but for my research and other things i need at work) so he was REALLY happy to see me not on my comp at all while we were together. 

the sacrifices you make for those you love :-)

bbbbbuuuuuutttttt i am back yall!

I made it back from Texas safe

and now it is back to my usual schedule :-)

Here is your Timebomb Thursday for this week!

who use to do these as a kid...

COLOR BY NUMBERS!

These are what made me to think that i was the next Picasso!

They had paint kits...crayon kits...all kinds of "Color by number" kits that you could use

Just color the suggested color in the number slots and *BOOM* like magic you have a "professional" picture that you made that you can hang on your fridge.

I know i got these in my stocking during xmas time 

what about these....

MOOD RINGS!

These were a HOTT commodity when i was in elementary school.

The kool kids had one of these for each outfit they owned!

I HATED these stupid things...LoL It never would change! I think the only color it would change for me was that dark deep blue color...so much for that $0.50 i just saved up and spent on a stupid ring that only told me that i was "happy" or "calm"...LoL

Well hope you guys has a great week so far!

I will be sure to post pic of my trip with Mr. Awesome.

Tomorrow is Friday and next week is the 4th of July!

I will for sure be out soaking up some sun ray!
