Souplantation now!

Day 33: Meals and actually baking!

Real quick cause I got a lot of backlog to update!

Breakfast:  Microwave + croissant!

Food:  1 croissant (115 kcal)

Calories:  115 kcal

Yay a picture!  Finally!  Not being lazy lunch and onwards.  Lunch today was at Marie Callendar's!  O__O  TONS of calories O__O  TONS!

Food:  1/3 chicken pot pie (442 kcal) and 1/2 serving cornbread (638 kcal)

Calories:  1080 kcal

I'm so serious about the calories.

Look at the nutritional facts!  O__O  1370 calories for an entire pot pie!  And 1275 calories for a "serving" of cornbread!  Not even a full tin!    I was wondering why I was getting so full just eating the corn bread.

Big reminder.  Always read/check your labels.  O_O  ALWAYS!

Then it was off to school and workout times!!!

By the time I arrived home... I was still full!  O__O

So for "dinner" I decided to snack a bit.

Snack #1:  Dan Active probiotics drinks!


Food:  1 blueberry probiotic drink (70 kcal)


Calories so far:  1150 kcal

Seriously one of my favorite drinks.  I usually have one before work cause it's light.  Drank this before Insanity tonight.

Check it out!  Baked kale chips!  Got the idea from my friend Tiffy and the recipe from http://smittenkitchen.com/2010/03/baked-kale-chips/.  My aunt and I devoured the entire sheet!  Ate these after Insanity.

Day 32: Core Cardio & Balance Day 4 + Meals + Crazy shoes!

Core Cardio & Balance notes!

Not bad today!  Exercises that gave me trouble?

:: Level 4 Drills ~ woooo!  Every push-up completed!!!  The problem?  In goal to complete every push-up, I begin my "running sprints" (mt. climbers) a bit late... so I don't complete 8 repetition

:: Moving Push-up Plank Walks ~ Tough!  Again, space is partially the problem!  Had to stop about 40 seconds into it... but not as bad as yesterday

:: Hip Flexor Burners... ~ Much better today!  Right leg (first side) ~ I had to take a break during the hip flexor flexions with pulses.  BUT!  My left leg totally rocked it and did every repetition!  Yay left side!

Ultra late.  I realized I didn't do notes on this day.  (backlog from day 33)

*thinks*


OH wait.  I do remember!  Came home and quickly did Insanity.  Was supposed to hanq with friends for ramen later... so!  no time to rest!

Main Insanity note:  Yes, it is Core Cardio & Balance... and it isn't ultra difficult compared to other workouts... but!  After running and lifting weights... and not really eating until after workouts... it was tough.

Quick shower afterwards... then hanqing time!

Meals!  Yay food!

Lunch:  Snack time at Tea Bar!

Food:  1/2 Brick toast with peanut butter and condensed milk (drool) (200 kcal?), and watermelon green tea (200 kcal?)

 Dinner:  Ramen and rice!

Food:  Tonkotsu ramen with all toppings (yay!) (439 kcal) and 1/4 chahan (100 kcal)

Calories so far:  939 kcal

This chahan was so delicious... but I couldn't eat it!  Stomach must have shrunk since I didn't eat all morning until that brick toast at about 5:00p!

Bad me!

After dinner... headed by to RH for dun dun DUN!  Some creamy flakey goodness.

Time for some delicious shaved snow from Class 302!

Dessert:  1/3 mango mochi snow!

There was a planned trip to Donut Man afterwards... but!  I had to change in some smexier clothes to be ready for Viper Room in West Hollywood!

But today = random eating!

Snack times:  Phoenix Cafe goodies from yesterday

Food:  1 pecan tart, 1 oatmeal cookie

Calories:  ~250 kcal?

Day 26: Food times and eating out

I was so tired today!

I woke up later than I had planned (hit the alarm and went back to bed for another 1.5 hours...) then woke up and went to church.  Oops.  No breakfast for me.

Onwards to my aunt wanting fried chicken from KFC!  Not my favorite... (chicken that is)... but yum for biscuits, corn on the cob and their apple pie stuffs.

Oops!  Forgot to take a picture of the food itself!

Lunch:  Kentucky Fried Chicken!  We do chicken right!

Food:  1 fried chicken wing (190 kcal), 1 fried chicken thigh (150 kcal), 1/2 serving mashed potatoes & gravy (60 kcal), 1 apple turnover (260 kcal)

Calories:  ~ 560 kcal...

Yikes on that apple turnover!  More calories in that than the chicken!  Also... I think My chicken wing was small... not a "full" chicken wing.  I didn't eat the white meat part (blech... white meat), so calories are probably a little smaller than that.

I rested about 2 hours after eating... then Insanity time!!!  Roar!

Also... laundry time!

Cleaning time!

Clobbering time!

Maybe not clobbering time.  But!  Friends came over and we played at the local brand new arcade (also bowling, pool, ping pong, and karaoke) Round 1!  Seriously check it out.  It's awesome!!!  Played 2 hours non-stop.  Yay for hourly infinite game cards.  Although there is a 1-minute wait before you can add another credit.  But we became smart later.  XD

I bet whoever played that pirate game after us was really happy... left about 6 credits on there!

Onto dinner time at the highest rated Chinese restaurant in Rowland Heights... No. 1 Noodle House!

Dinner:  Dan dan mein.  YUM!

Food:  Dan dan mein (~300 kcal), 4 wontons with hot spicy oil (~200 kcal)

Calories so far:  ~1060 kcal

This is my favorite!  This place makes it the best out of other places I've tried it at.  Yum yum yum!

This picture is of the wontons in hot spicy oil.  These are good too.  If you don't want it spicy... then don't eat that spoonful of spiciness on the top.

If you do... hot!  These are delicious also!

If you check out my link to it's yelp.com page... you'll notice many people mentioning how delicious the food is.  But don't let me hype it up.  Try for yourself!

After dinner it was snack time!  Or dessert time.  It was both.  Had these tasty treats from Phoenix Cafe.


Snack:  Black sesame & walnut and black sesame & almond puree goodness, and green tea with black sesame (inside) mochi 


Food:  Puree black sesame & walnut puree mixed with black sesame & almond puree (100 kcal?), 1 green tea black sesame mochi (110 kcal?)

Breakfast:  O' my buns!

Food:  1 mini coffee bun (100 kcal?)

Calories:  ~100 kcal

I was a bad girl today and didn't eat lunch really... ended up working out all afternoon and didn't want to have food in my stomach while working out.  So it was time for dinner it was feeding time!!!  Rarz.

Salmon skin handroll!  The great thing with this one was it had salmon in it also!  I hate when it's just salmon skin and they skimp on the salmon.  So yummy!

Day 22: Food times

Today was a food day!  I was out out of the house, so lots of random foods.  Also, there will be some estimations!  So hard to count calories with some foods...

Breakfast:  O' my buns!!!

Food:  1 mini coffee bun (100? kcal), 1 serving mixed nuts (100 kcal)

Calories:  200 kcal

I have no idea how many calories this has.  When I bought them last night, I asked the guy how many calories, he said he had no idea and he'd have to ask.  Oh well.

Late lunch!  The mixed nuts earlier were actually a snack during work in between testing subjects for my thesis.

Lunch was at Class 302 today with friends!  I was the only one ordered lunch... so I got a bento meal while everyone partook in the unique Taiwanese-style shaved snow.  I had a few bites later.

Food:  1/2 pork chop over rice with veggies (350 kcal?)  I ate less than 1/2 the meal.  1/6 mango & mochi shaved snow (150? kcal)

Calories so far:  700? kcal

No idea on the shaved snow for calories.  Different right?  Sorry my picture is terrible, but it's actually mango-flavored "snow" and not just ice.

Have you all been to the LA County Fair at the Pomona Fairplex yet???  If not, then you should go!  It's the last week, so last chance to enjoy it!  I went today with friends to walk around and enjoy!

On the right is a coupon for the event.  Wed-Friday, there is a $5 after 5p special.  But!  You have to have the coupon printed out.  And you have to have one per person.  Kind of sucks... but it's still cheaper than $12 or whatever the normal price is.  It's from their website.

The first monstrosity eaten at the fair.  I guess this was technically my dinner?  I really wanted one last week... sorry diet!  But I eat what I want, but I eat in moderation!

I don't eat a funnel cake a week, or even once a month.  Last time I had it was... I don't remember!  Considering all the food in a fair, I could have done worse *cough* deep fried butter... blech.

Snacks:  Funnel cake w/ powdered sugar, corn on the cob, Hot Dog on a Stick lemonade

Food:  3/4 funnel cake w/ powdered sugar (570? kcal), 2/3 corn on the cob (113 kcal), 10 oz Hot Dog on a Stick lemonade (115 kcal)

Calories so far:  1498 kcal

O_O  maybe.  Must have eaten more!!!  Tomorrow I totally have to go running or work out more!  *dies*

Now I am tired.  So I well rest and be prepared for tomorrow's workout and eating well!
