Santa Fe

Goober here! 

So me and Stoof are uber slackers. I apologize. I also suck at taking pictures of the things I do. My little, her boyfriend and mine (they're roomies) are trying to cook more and be healthier. Aka I cook everyone dinner. I actually love it. On Monday night I made a delicious meal of spicy tilapia (squirt the fish with lemon, rub on some low fat margarine, coat it in creole and blackening seasoning and then some parm cheese and bake for 20-25 on 350) some dirty rice, salad and cream of asparagus soup from Skinnytaste.com. It came out really well! I have to admit I used an extra half tablespoon of sour cream and butter while making it and it was absolutely delish for the low amount of calories. Try it out!

Tomorrow for Jerzday, we are making family dinner again. Last week I made my moms meat sauce recipe (I took a few pics and I will be making a post soon). Gotta love being Italian. This Thursday we're deviating from the pasta and making tacos because that just obviously makes sense. We're going to do pulled chicken and ground turkey meat. I can't wait. I really hope they turn out as good as the tacos from here. I will rave about Santa Fe Mexican grill allll day long. I live above it so I am a very frequent customer. They have the hands down best margaritas in Newark. And thanks to my mama I got to try the one in Wilmington via Groupon. They are just great restaurants if you love Mexican food like I do. So if you are ever in Delaware definitely check it out. I'm really really wishing they delivered and would be so kind as to bring me a golden chimichanga right now. mmm can't wait for taco night! 

have a great day! Adios!

ps. check out my friend's blog the style tab  she's an awesome fashionista and puts together the cutest outfits! She recently featured me and some of my sistas in a post about how to wear your greek letters a little differently for any sorority ladies out there. Get inspired!

The Anti-diet

Hey everyone! Goober here! 

During the week I work part time at a law firm. It's a really great place and has given me a lot of insight into what my potential career may be like. That being said, I have a lot of downtime. During the major semesters at school this is great because I can get a lot of my work done leaving more time for things double00h related, but during winter break I've had a lot of time to do nothing, aka aimlessly browse the internet. I have discovered Pinterest, and my life will never be the same. (Links on the side of the page!) I'm not going to bore you with my obsession with this website, I just wanted to share one of the more inspirational treasures I found while trying to motivate myself to go to the gym today. 

  It's a post from the very posh British blog The Londoner . I'm totally hooked. She has a very popular post called The Anti Diet. It's really changed my perspective on losing weight and getting in shape. It's so incredibly realistic and useful, and trust me I'm far from a stranger to these "tips to get in shape!" articles. My favorite thing about this post is the hunger scale.

 

All too often I find myself sabotaging all the hard work I've put in at the gym by gorging myself with food, good and bad alike. It's just such an accurate progression of the different stages of fullness, and it highlights the importance of monitoring and appropriately responding to the messages your body is sending you. If you're full stop eating. It seems so simple but, at least for me, it isn't. 

Sorry to babble but I just LOVED this article. I highly recommend it to anyone who like me is trying to live a healthier lifestyle, and maybe lose the last of my freshman 15 and essentially have the body of a Victoria Secret model on Spring Break... dream big right?  

If you have any articles that inspire you or you feel are really effective towards these goals please let me know. It's always easier to get in shape with friends!
