My summer goals

I make news years resolutions just like everyone else! But I also make small goals to help me achieve the things I want, this summer I only have two goals, one become an extreme couponist, and a runner.

Becoming the couponist is easy, clip coupons stock up and save! Planning is the hard thing and keeping organized. But today I will make my first trip in with this in goal. So we shall she the outcome!

As for becoming a runner, I'm lazy and I'm not sure if that's actually going to happen, but I want it to. So I shall see what I can do!

1. Mix Feta, Ricotta, nutmeg, egg, both cheeses, spinach and onions until smooth!
2. Layer 4-6 sheets with a light coat of oil between each sheet.
3. add the Cheese mix to it
4. The top layer is another 4-6 layers of the dough

So day 2 I am doing better than yesterday. So far I have had 60 oz of water, and 20 oz of tea. Ate my 2 shakes, and. Greens. (Salad at carls jr, my dressing. Threw out the chicken and ate just the greens!) For dinner I went to applebees with my friend ryan. I had steak and broccoli. No sauce ok so it wasn't lean, but at applebees I think it was the best choice!

Inspired by my love....Allie.

After a super long 77 plus hour work week I bust open the remainder of my bottle of 2 buck chuck. (litterally a 2 dollar bottle of wine!) I really cant have a glass a wine (just one btw) with out eating. I had some steaks i compelty forgot about and attempted to cook. After smelling I decided that it was still good! YAY! I throw my choice of seasons of my choice all over the steak grill it on my stove top grill. pull it off the oven and slice off a bite..... Couple of chews i spit it out!! SPOILED!!! So now what I already have corn in a pan so now there goes heading out for food. So i didn't feel like reheating up more meat....

This is what  I did Corn add what ever I have in my Fridge. Left over ham, Butter, Quaso Sauce and Diced onions..... I ofcourse proceed to add cyanne peppers, and 2 Tablespoons of flour and well call it soup. I will say ummmmm....


Granted when Paired with a bottle of red, you just really cant go wrong! Well with soiled meat you can but I just didn't eat that!

Inspired by Miss Kellie!

One thing that I will truly truly miss in CA will be my Miss Kellie!! She's been a super friend and awesome nail lady! Well when ever her and her greaser boyfriend Kelley (they spell it differently! I call him boyfriend to help with the confusion) throw a get together at his house she makes these nachos.
Boyfriend grills carna asada steaks, she chops em up. Then on a flat pan cookie sheet (foiled lined) she opens a bag of chips. Heats up refried beans and drops them all over the chips! Then she does the same with queso in a can. Then she add veggies she's already chopped up!! Onions, tomatoes, olives, and fresh jalapenos! Of course I help by letter her know where the holes were. I'm not sure which layer she puts the shredded cheese? But it goes on there....
Well I was hungry and this sounds AWESOME!! So I make mine and use ground beef, and kidney beans vs, refried and steak...still good and of course I added alvacdo!!!

Day 2

So I'm doing well! Wake up eat a meal bar then several hours later a meal shake, again a banana after a while then sets my seafood craving!! So I walk over to the sushi restaurant that is 2 min away. Look and order smart! Well in my eye I ordered smart! Miso soup (googled it and it said 85 cals so I will believe it!) And rainbow roll. And a miller light. I was at 1100 ish cals for the day I was again proud of myself, until. My bestie has a bad day and needed a drinking buddy, so I obliged! 4 beers more later (bud light) and a capt morgan shot I was drunk! **side note still at 1600 ish cal for the day** so slightly off tract! But woke up with a diesire for biscuits and gravy! Let's see if I can hold off!! And fight it!
