Time is ticking Away

Movie Night with the girls is just around the corner…I can’t wait!

YES! I’m being lazy and didn’t feel the need to go to Chipotle when I can make my own version. I have all the ingredients in my Casa!

Chicken Burrito Bowl:

Brown Rice
Organic black beans
Shredded Cheese low fat
Low fat sour cream
Fresh tomatoes

Why go out when I can make my own Chipotle style bowl, everything is in my Casa!

Trying to pull myself away from the comp to run errands. The Healthy Living Summit is just too good right now!

Mango Bowl and Healthy Living Summit

I’m watching the healthy living summit live right now as i eat my delicious breakfast! I woke up at 5:30 to take Chris to work because my car is at the shop getting looked at and I needed a car this afternoon. I went for a nice run/walk this morning and then came back to shower and get ready for live streaming! I’m not ashamed to say ”I have been waiting for months and very excited: Thanks Meghann, Tina,Jenna, Kath and Heather, Caitlin

Morning Eats

Fresh Mangoliciousness
Low fat Vanilla Yogurt
Kashi H2H cereal
This should feel me up till later today!

Gotta get back to the Summit now and errands followed by Girls Movie Night!

Taking a Big Leap

niccilivingfit — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 15:01:00 +0000

I said I was going to transition slowly into vegetariansim and I think now is the appropriate time for me. Now that Chris and I have a place together I am the sole cook at home. I don’t think it will be hard trying to cook the same meals and subbing one plate to be vegetarian. Although Chris loves my cooking and has said he would eat whatever I make. So far, that seems to be true; were not eating red meat. This is one small change I’ve made, now to tackle all meat. I know I can do this but it’s just a matter of gettin back on track. I was a veggie for 2 years before. My sole reasons are for healthier eating. When I don’t eat meat, I stay away from all fast foods. This is something I need to try one more time. Wish me luck as I begin this lifestyle!

Flat Out Attack

niccilivingfit — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 17:15:00 +0000

Lazy Morning, so I did not run like I planned. Instead I sat in bed on my itouch on Google Reader. Yes, I stayed up till 2:30 last night, I was not sleepy after I left the party at 11:30. I think I may be getting old : D though. Since I slept in I did kickboxing with Jillian and proceeded to eat not 1 but 2 flat out wraps! I think that should hold me till this bbq cookout tonight at a friends.

Breakfast/Lunch: that’s why I had 2

Flat Out Wrap

ham
2 eggs
spinach
shredded cheese
Glass of OJ

Delicious

I think I’ll end up eating some fruit in between. I’m actually eyeing the blender. I see Green Monster in my future…2 hours from now!!

Cherries, How I LOVE them

niccilivingfit — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 00:44:00 +0000

My New Obsession….

Dinner is Served….

Grilled cheese & turkey and tomato
grapes
beloved cherries

Yes, I use to hate cherries and I honestly don’t remember why nowadays. I love them so much now and could eat them everyday. The seminar for work was great today! I actually stayed awake and it our speaker had some great information for our office and line of work! I was not impressed with breakfast so I was happy I grabbed a banana on the way out the door. Their idea of breakfast was oversize muffins and sweets. I did take advantage of the bottled juice (2 orange juices). Lunch was AWESOME, we had a pretty nice menu to chose from.

From the menu I had:

half turkey sandwich
cup of broccoli cheddar soup
fruit bowl
ice tea

Sorry, no pics due to co-workers not knowing of my blog!

Oh! I woke up late so no Am workout, but I’m off to run 2 miles tonight.

Breakfast cookie I did not get to eat this morning…in a hurry! However this is my dessert for tonight.

Granola, 1/2 banana, AB and soy milk

Smash it out on a plate & refrigerate overnight!!

Eat Up!

Weekend Fun…here I come!

I’ll be at a dinner party for a great friend tomorrow evening and I’ll have my trusty cannon. My friend Daniel is having a ”Going Away” party; he’s moving to Hong Kong for 2 yrs to work w/ a theater company. How cool is that folks!

First Breakfast Cookie …for me!

niccilivingfit — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 03:39:00 +0000

I just made a breakfast cookie to eat in the morning. My office is closed for a motivational speaker seminar tomorrow. I’ve been told the hotel were going to is serving us breakfast and lunch. ”Free Food, oh how I love thee”, let it be good. Word is we’ll be having pastries and fruit in the morning, this makes me nervous so I’m eating a breakfast cookie before work. I’m excited about this cookie, I heard about it for months around the blog world and decided to give it a try! I never knew how easy it was to make…I see a favorite coming.

Pics up tomorrow

Cookie contains: milk, brown sugar, oats and AB…of course I gotta ad the AB!!

Good night!

Good Eats

Still trying to locate the CD ROM for my Cannon , so that I can upload pics to my comp at work! So, living with the bf in our new apt has been really nice and I love being able to buy and cook my own meals, not tempted by snacks and sugary treats. I’ve been doing the grocery shopping and he loves my cooking and eats whatever I cook. (he’s not picky) =]

Last night we had Chicken N Shrimp w/ pasta in a Cajun sauce and chugged down with some Sweet tea!

Can we say YUMMY!

I really needed something sweet to drink after the b.f and I went running. We just ran on our street (1mile); looking forward to downloading my itouch and really hitting the pavement later this weekend!

GREEN MONSTER ATTACK

OOOPS!, there it is again. Another Green Monster to start the day but also with a bowl of cereal.

Kashi H2H

Yes, I was really hungry and running late for work.

This usually doesn’t happen but I was starving by the time lunch came around, an hr before I helped myself to a Tbsp of PB to tie me over. Today was a blah day, I really had nothing going on at work. I filed some papers and hit up FB. I’m getting addicted to Face book and need to find another site to frequent.. Google Reader gets addicting too, but I can’t get enough of the awesome blogs out there. I learn a new recipe or fitness idea everyday. I get inspired with my meals and it helps on those night I’m tempted to get ”fast food=boo”.
Bringing lunch to work is healthier and saves money for the household. I’m making an effort to pack it every night before bed!

Side track but here’s today’s eats:

Brown rice w/ veggies
grapes
cherries

Dinner: HaHa

Same as lunch, but with garlic herb grilled chicken

It stopped raining and its cool outside…trying to talk Chris into running with me…wish me luck.

(Ps. I’m just gonna watch SYTUCD and do a quick Jillian Michaels shred!)
