the finer things in life...
pooh came home from moscow with some yummy things for me... 1)chocolate covered sunflower seeds from WinCo bulk (yeah, where are these in Poky's WinCo bulk?) and 2)organic black bean dip from the co-op. YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMY! yes, i love food, and pooh made my day when she gave me my present from her trip to moscow. so i have more to say about life, however, i'm in a hurry and promise that when i get internet on the farm (don't know when this will happen...), i will have more time to write!

what i learned from the personal trainer...
i had my 2nd of "2 free personal training sessions for all world gym members" today. i learned a few things i thought i would share. first of all, i need to eat more protein. i did know that you're supposed to pair a carb (be it a meal, snack, whatever) with a protein. i was using nuts with my apple sometimes, but PT suggested something more like string cheese, as nuts are fatty. she also said low impact aerobics--like biking, hiking, walking, horseback riding, etc.--are what burns fat...not spinning (although spinning is excellent cardio and burns hella calories). so i need to adjust my workout schedule, also so i can get 8 hours of sleep a night. she said this is important so body can recover and i've also read that sleep is when your hormones that control appetite and fullness. and here's a freebie for you all from my PT...coldstone puts shortening in their ice cream to keep it from melting fast and to make it richer.....anyone else feel like gagging right now?!

pigs in a blanket...
my name's adriane, i'm 24 years old, and i like pigs in a blanket. this is what was served for lunch today at work, along with mac and cheese. man, i love both those things. i am happy to report that i declined, despite much contemplation. instead, i grabbed my cheese ravioli lean cuisine. it was yummy. however, i watched everyone else eat their piggies and smelled them the rest of the day. after i lose my weight, maybe i will indulge. that will be a happy day:)
on a better note (something yummy that i could, and did, eat)... i ate with steph at pita pit on thursday, and on top of the wonderful company, was my vegetarian pita with hummus. YUMMY!!! i just recently discovered that i enjoy hummus. and thanks to pita pit's variety of veggies, it was tasty. spinach, sprouts, romaine lettuce, tomato, olives, pickles, and hummus, all rolled into a wheat pita (don't know if it was whole wheat, which would be the only downfall). i highly recommend it. i'm happy when i try something healthy that tastes good and that i crave (i want to go back to pita pit soon!!!). i ate pizza hut with the fam yesterday after church and had some major mcgurgles and mccramps (supersize me lingo) due to the grease. i prayed that God would remind me of these mcfeelings next time i wanted to eat unhealthy stuff. i didn't even eat that much, but whooie! andrea, i'm finally seeing what you've been talking about with making food choices based on how you know they make you feel. pita=energized, full, satisfied. pizza=bloated, nauseous, gassy (lucky conrad...) well, that's the latest update on my quest for a healthier lifestyle, thanks for tuning in:)
