Work that Trash Girl

I’m so in shock that so many people like smaller pancakes.  I’m with everyone who said that they love pancakes that are huge and still gooey in the middle.  YES!  That is seriously what I live for.  No really, gooey pancakes (even though I made them with egg) in my belly are pretty awesome.

Some people use some nice mathematical terms too, such as Emma saying she loved a smaller stack for more surface area and more syrup coverage.  I knew we were twinnies.

Speaking of last night, I’m so happy that Brittany didn’t go home.  You didn’t sign your ticket home girl and you looked the bomb.com at the photoshoot and you knew it!  I want to be in a photoshoot with just trash and look fab.  They took pictures at a landfill…work that trash girl.


Speaking of America’s Next Top Model,  I was very sad that I was going to have to miss it since I’m flying home next Wednesday but luckily for me-the entire episode is pushed back an hour.  It’s like Tyra knew that I needed to still get my fix on.  Therefore,  you will be seeing Twitter updates from 9-10 next Wednesday How you guys put up with me is beyond me ha.  I am the sole reason they made a mute button for tweets.

I don’t want to shock you guys or anything but today I did not have pancakes [or waffles] for breakfast.  I had eggs.  Overeasy eggs are my favorite besides poached eggs so I made 3 overeasy eggs and ½ cup egg whites with toast.  It comes up to be about the same amount of calories as my waffles and pancakes and keeps me full forever.  By forever, I mean a hot second because I’m always hungry.



During lunch I had to take a test so therefore stopped at Dexter’s and ate my sundried tomato quiche in my room along with a glassnoodle salad.  The glassnoodle salad had shirataki noodles along with fresh vegetables such as tomatoes and sweet peppers.  Since it was the salad of the week (and one of my favorites-I had to get it obviously).

Today I swam roughly 3000 yards.  1000 swim, following by 2X800 pull and then 400IM.  Nice and long and no kick to wear my little legs out for running on Sunday.  I’m on the downward slope for my half and I’m pretty stoked.

I’m glad you guys enjoyed my nail painting from Sunday.  I literally try and paint my nails at least 3 times a week.  For me, it is something I can disconnect from the world (even the interent…I still heart my blogging BFFS though) and just relax.  Last night I painted my fingers sparkly pink beause I’m a princess…clearly.

You can't even tell how pink and Sparkly they are

Question for you:

  1. What do you do that just relaxes you and takes you away from the world?  You time!

Eggs and Toast

I feel like I have been advertising giveaways a lot in my blogs lately. But when your favorite blogs that you follow like it’s your job have giveaways how can you not? On a side note-blog reading would be the most fabulous job. You could get one of those desk treadmills and get your exercise in while blogging.

I can't even walk and drink coffee at the same time...


Anywho-

Jaimie@FoodinRealLife is having a cook book giveaway. A lot of the recipes are made from similar ingredients and using similar methods. It seems so easy and for people who are afraid of change and need to follow a routine (like me.) While you’re there check out her blog because you’ll begin to follow it like it’s your job too!

Since this is the distance swimmer “bonus practice,” of the week it is a little shorter. By bonus, I mean distance swimmers have to do an extra practice on top of everyone else so this is our practice of extra yards.

4X100 (kick-swim-drill-swim)
8X50 Back
800 Pull
400 IM
5X200 Free Interval
4X100 IM
400 Pull
100 Kick

Today marks the first day in a good old while that I did not have pancakes for breakfast. Pancakes have always been my staple food and not having them makes me extremely uncomfortable. Breaking out of that is a big step for me. Which sounds pretty silly when I type it all out.

I had made up my mind yesterday that I wasn’t going to have pancakes, waffles, or French toast for breakfast today. Today I am pleased to announce that I stuck to a rather simple breakfast and made 3 overeasy eggs, ½ cup egg whites, toast and grilled tomato. I normally have about 400 calories for breakfast of pancakes so I tried to have roughly the same amount. This really made me forget how much I do love eggs. I didn’t know where to start there was so much food on the plate for 400 calories.

When I lived in England, grilled tomato was included in any breakfast and I absolutely love it. If you have never tried it, I highly recommend it. So get your George foreman and grill up some tomatoes.

Here is the second pool workout of the day:
1000 warmup
400 IM
250 Backstroke
800 Pull
5X200 Free interval
3X200 backstroke
5X300 IM interval

10X50 Backstroke

As you can see-I’m alive and well and didn’t have pancakes. :)

What did you have for breakfast today?
