bottoms up + big news on the way

/

starting to really feel like i suck at multitasking. or maybe it's prioritizing. both. idk :roll: idk, but whenever i am focused on my next move it's like i can't focus on anything except THAT thing. what thing? hosting my very own COOKING CLASS!!!! i have finally secured a location to do my thang (workout classes are coming right along with that) and i am crazy excited about it. i can't help but to be. this is what i do! a much more detailed announcement will be made really soon.  extremely soon.

ok so this past wednesday,

Chi and i hit the road for my monthly check up.  while there, that yummy, delicious, glucose drink was also waiting for me to chug.  i can't believe it's time to test for gestational diabetes already! it's done somewhere in between weeks 24 and 26.

if i had a dollar for every time i've had to look at someone's confused face and say 'oh, i'm a blogger', i'd go buy a pair of shoes with it :lol: . the phlebotomist shot me a 'why are you snapping pics of that of all things?' look. when i did this test for my 1st pregnancy i went online to read reviews on how the test would go, and with that came comments about how horrid and disgusting this stuff was. so of course i walked in very hesitant and expecting the absolute worst. verdict: no big deal. seriously. i tuned that bottle upside down and drank it all at once, no breaks. after i told Chiso why he couldn't have any orange soda lol.

20140305_105027_1waiting for my Doc and admiring my kicks! yep, it's tha shoes!!!!  the ones i posted about on IG a few weeks ago!  i was actually going to keep them in the box until i reached 9 months.  kinda like a push present to myself.  i couldn't wait though lol. high top Nike Frees. i'm in complete love.

some recent IG eats!  man those zucchini fritters are so dang good. please go make them if you haven't already. i am out but bought a ton of zucchini at Sprouts a few days ago and will be making more soon.

clockwise:

  • lean ground chicken burger w/ tomatoes & mozzarella almond cheese using zucchini fritters for buns
  • crock pot sirloin stead seasoned with Weber Chicago Streak seasoning and cooked on low for 6 hours w/ roasted asparagus and smashed red potatoes.  i boiled the red potatoes until tender, then added green onion, cilantro, some plain  non-fat yogurt, and organic whipped buttery spread. mozzarella almond cheese melted on top!
  • a gigantic salad from the HEB salad bar
  • zucchini cakes with herb goat cheese, pan seared tilapia, roma tomatoes, and strawberries.

still trying to keep it clean for the most part....even though i want Papa Johns pizza all day every day. no sweets for me...cheese must go on everything.

happy weekend!
