Been going through some stuff

I've been going through some stuff recently. Everything was mostly due to pushing myself way too hard but I've decided that I had to let something go. It was not be the best, nicest thing to do, but it is what is best for me :).

On another note,, I made chicken nuggets!

Mini update

Update on the things i made yesterday:

Coconut Muffins: SO DRY. I could barely eat them with tons of butter. Next time, I'm going to try to add a banana or apple sauce to the recipe for moisture. Maybe more oil? I think banana is the flavor that will compliment the coconut best but we'll see!

Crab cakes: TO DIE FOR. Amazing.

Ciao for now!

Nom Nom!

For the longest time, I have followed blogs. Running blogs, fitness blogs, "healthy living" blogs etc. Recently though, I have pretty much stopped exercising, and fitness blogs sort of make me feel guilty, but I really do not have the time to work out as much as usual (used to work out 5x/week, now its 2-3). Anyway, i have been looking at healthy cooking blogs and actually making the food featured on them! Procrastinating, what procrastinating? As term papers loom,I have started cooking new and different (and healthy!) things. Among them:
-Chicken sausage and brown rice bowl
-Gluten Free coconut muffins
-Crab Cakes (Gluten-Free as well)

-Lemon Glaze Chicken

I have yet to taste the coconut muffins (though they seem a bit dry...nothing a bit of my new coconut butter won't fix!)

I've made the crab cakes before, but this times I used gluten-free bread crumbs and a bit less oil, so we'll see how they taste tomorrow (I made them tonight for my lunch tomorrow)

Some terrible pictures:



Sorry, the Zucchini, Chicken Sausage and rice in a bowl in inexcusably bad :(

I been gone

Right now I am currently taking (another) break from writing my stupid dumb term paper about Canadian Law. I decided to fill everyone in on what has been going on. I have been slacking like crazy on workouts because I am being drowned by schoolwork and I also have relationships with family and boyfriend to nurture (FRIENDS, I LOVE YOU TOO I'M COMING BACK SOON). This week, though, I made a special effort to do at least 30 minutes of working out each day (except on days where I work, because I'm on my feet all day anyway, and that counts as exercise...right? So Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday I ran 3 miles, and today I ran 4.5.
I have also been counting calories via caloriecount.about.com
The site says I should only about 1450 calories a day but i say *uck that s*it, and am concentrating eating all my nutrients and making sure what I am eating is balanced (they analyze the macro and micro nutrients that you eat on the site). So, as long as my carbs, protein, and fat content is okay, I'm okay.I have discovered using that site though that I eat alot of fat! that explains it...

Anyways, I gotta bizzounce.
This, by the way, is how i am currently feeling:

or donuts...whatever.
