International Week

This week, as far as our dinner menu goes, we are having an international journey. Last night, which was Monday, we had, I guess you could say it was Chinese. We had a fried fish, and shrimp salad. Man, it was awesome! Then tonight, not on purpose, we had enchiladas. It was pretty good. I say not on purpose, because today is Cinco De Mayo, and I didn't realize this when I planned the menu for the week. Anyway, then tomorrow, I am making pho, from Vietnam. If you don't know what pho is, it is a noodle soup. It is totally the best soup ever! And it just makes you feel better if you have an upset stomach or just aren't feeling particularly well. I would love to try some from an older Vietnamese woman who has been making it all her life. I bet it's awesome. And Thursday, I am making a marinara sauce. I will double the recipe so we can eat on it for several meals. So there you go. A week of healthy meals. The healthy eating continues. I have been doing better with my eating habits than with my excercise program. But it will get better over time, right? Bye for now!

I'm Baaaaack!!

Ok, so sorry it's been forever sense I posted last. A few good things have happened the last month or two. This last weekend, Jim and I went to Sakura Con at the Washington State Convention Center. It was pretty fun. It's an anime convention, if you were wondering. Anyway, it was a bit boring this year. There wasn't that many panels or interesting things going on this year. Most of the stuff the venders had this year weren't that great either. But we did both get a few cool things there. Like I got a littl Care Bears figurine to attach to my cell phone. Then I got a little beginners mecha to build. Mechas are so cool. They are kind of like Transformers, only they don't usually transform into anything. There is one anime I like that is about a ballet dancer who joins this club in her high school or college that races these mecha bikes. They are really cool, because you can give them verbal commands that make them change forms. Like some of their forms are really aerodynamic and others aren't quite so. So they change forms throughout the race, from a less aerodynamic form to the sleek bike that is very aerodynamic.
Anyway, that's about the most exciting thing I can think of right now. I will hopefully have lots to talk about tomorrow. Bye for now!!!

Couple of Updates

First of all, I am SO HAPPY!!! In order to be concidered for a job at the Navy Base, you have to pass a test called the Accuplacer test. So yesterday, I took the test and I passed with flying colors!!! I am so happy!

Anyway, next thing is my healthy program. I haven't been doing my video workouts as well as I would like to, but my eating habits have improved. I try to make sure there are plenty of veges in every meal. And we've been doing really good with that. Anyway, I did my kickboxing video this morning. It was really fun. And I've been walking alot to make up for not doing the videos. So today, I'm making pho. I'm very excited for it too, because it is really tasty. And really healthy.

Well, I guess that's about it. I'll write more later.

Dinner

This morning, I didn't exercise because I woke up too late. So I just got on with the day. Anyway, last night, we went out for dinner to Panda Express. So I got orange chicken and steamed vegetables. They were pretty good. I love orange chicken more than anything else. Tonight, I made a really good chicken rice and broccoli casserole. It was way good. We have lots of leftovers, so it always tastes better the next day. So there's my update.

New

Ok, I have a goal to get healthier. That includes eating healthier and exercising at least three days a week. By eating healthier, I mean to add more greens and nutrient rich veges. This morning, I did a low-impact, yoga based work-out. There are two other 30 min work-outs on this dvd, and I have a few other dvds as well, so I don't think I will get easily bored with this. Anyway, the reason I'm talking about this on my blog, is because I need a way to be accountable about my eating choices and my exercising. So I'm going to try to post everyday to update you on what I'm doing. Right now, I weigh in at 197 lbs. I will do weekly weight checks as well. Anyway, have a great day!

Hermmies

For Christmas, Jim bought me a terrarium. So yesterday, we went shopping for hermit crabs. I got three crabs, and a bunch of accessories. Kitty isn't quite sure what to think of these new critters. Last night, Jim and I each had one in our hands, and the cat was sniffing them and trying to figure out what they are. She was chasing them across the living room floor as they ran around (of course we were watching them very carefully making sure they didn't get lost). When ever they would move around inside their glass box, kitty would go into "tracking / pounce" mode. It was really funny. Pets can be so fun around eachother. At least these she can't eat. Unlike my poor little gerbils. Anyway, pictures will be forth coming. They are just so cute, I can't resist taking pictures of my cool new pets. Well, thats all.
