Tuesdays.

I' m so so so so stressed out for finals and today was POOP. But - dinner at West today was fresh pita and hummus (in addition to the hot food line). SOOOO GOOOD. AND I have not worked out this week yet bc yesterday's workout was during fasting (1-2:30) and I was not up to it, and today's was 1-2:30 again and I was at Math Office Hours. AND tomorrow's is 7-8:30 and I have an exam then. poopers. What to dooo? I guess I can work out some in my room but that never is the same.

My Inaugural Post

I'm so excited for this blog!!!! I love blogging. Everything becomes cooler through blogging.

So last week I was trying to eat healthier. I ate salads for lunch every day until Thursday, when as I was assembling my salad the servery people were pointing instant-read thermometers at the salad stuff and looking and the read-out and looking concerned. That grossed me out.

And my salads are awesome. This is how I make my salads:

spring mix on one side, with little piles of my favorite toppings such as: grape tomatoes, edamame, red bell peppers..etc. Then I used sliced cucumber to make a little sub-section on 1/4 of the plate, where I put tuna (they put out canned tuna w/o any dressing on it) or a boiled egg. Then I put dressing (low fat honey mustard or low fat ranch) on the other side of the cucumbers. Tada! Lunch.

And I've started working out again. Malaz and I are working out every day in the private MSA girls room hours (1:30-3:00 or 7-7:30 every day) and it helps knowing that I need to work out so that they will keep giving us the room. The other nice thing about this is that they've assigned personal female trainers to the room for the hour and a half a day - which means I'm getting free personal weight training!! And I've also been trying to play racquetball with Katerina and her friend.

SO everything was going good until Friday. Friday I was in a really mysteriously pissy mood during the day - which started with me waking up late and feeling nasty - and on my way home I got a chocolate frosty. With small fries. SO UNNECESSARY BUT SO GOOD. :(((

I'm going to get back on track though. Back to salads for lunch and cereal for breakfast. But here is the new thing I am concerned about: finals weeks. I know I'm going to end up sleeping in (10am-ish) and missing breakfast, and then staying up late (2am-ish) and getting really hungry at night. I went to target and bought myself the semi-healthy filling snacks I like - dried fruit, graham crackers (don't knock them), barbecue popchips, and snack-bag-100cal-popcorn. I known snacking at night will be inevitable but I want to curb it.

OH! And one more success: I've started taking a multi-vitamin and maybe this is stupid and not news to anyone but I FEEL A DIFFERENCE! I got these gummy adult multivitamins from target. I called the information thing and they use vegetarian gelatin in them. I know they are not the perfect multi-vitamin - there's a couple of things about them that concern me. They don't have any zinc (Hebah - this is a shout out for you), and they have 275 mcg of Lutein - I know it's a negligible amount but Ms. Bissell (Cate's doctor and vegan mom) once gave me this long talk about how Lutein is the devil. THE DEVIL. It leads to Alzheimer's and bad things and awfulness. But it's micrograms - right? I DON'T KNOW!!! But back to how awesome this multivitamin is. I feel sort of different - more awake and fresh?? And my skin has gotten better. But that also might be because of my magical face-mask. Please buy this face-mask.

Okay that is all. This is a really long post. This is what happens when you tell me to type up my feeeeeliiings.

Loooove,

Doha

Still aloooneee.....

Well I guess I am still the only one doing this.  But alas I will forge on.

I am trying to eat more frozen meals (organic only!) like Hebah said.  Kashi makes this spicy black bean burrito meal I really like (and with 8 g fiber and only 250 calories it is filling and low cal!)  It is helping some.  I think I need to move more I think the more you weigh the slower your metabolism gets.

Actually my biggest problem is dinner time.  There is something about being tired where I just want to eat and chew on something constantly until I go to bed.

Suggestions ladies?

Hebah you are forgiven cause you are travelling but Dohito??

Hello loveliest sistas,

You are invited to participate in the awesomest blog ever.  You may note the frieda-hebah-doha  blog (fhdforever) is just for our viewing pleasure.

I thought maybe we could use it as a weight loss forum this month and just general life gripes.

:) love
