Is this the way it's going to be?
Last year, almost at this exact same time (end of July, beginning of August), I had some serious drama. And not of the fun variety. I left California and that was the end of it.
This year comes around, and I have drama once again. This past year has been pretty peaceful. Even when Dave gave me crap for being a drama queen, I got offended; I had totally forgotten about last summer.
But yet again, apparently the beginning of August + California means drama for me.
Let me sum it up (because I am immature). Quote from one of my "good" friends:
"The sad fact of the matter is, is that right now, you don't have that portion of humanity which is required to understand that life is more than just you."
The thing is, I'm not really sure how I should respond to this. *IF* I should respond to it or what. Most of me thinks I should blow it off, and just say that's the way it is. But the other part of me is pretty hurt/angry that a 'friend' could say such things (there's a whole 1 1/2 pages of stuff like that). Just...very blah.

OMG.
Too embarrassed to even blog about my eating habits. Here is a "recap" of Tuesday:
1 chocolate chip cookie
3 slices pizza
1/2 Starbucks coffee cake
I mean...SERIOUSLY! My brain is appalled at me, but my stomach...it's so.....HAPPY. As long as I'm not staring at it.
Sheesh. I guess I honestly haven't really told myself that I really need to eat healthier. Never really realized how FRIGGIN HARD IT IS when you have to eat out a lot. There's just so many cookies and brownies, and things of that nature. And my hands...can't physically NOT pick one up and stuff it into my face. It's actually not feasible.
At least I eat healthy for breakfast? I had cheerios today and not even the honey nut variety.
Prolly gonna eat even more bad food since I'm having leftovers for dinner today too.

Salsa!
Never thought I would go to a salsa class where there were more GUYS than girls. But apparently, at Stanford, this is true. For BOTH the classes I took today. Hahaha. Only in the Bay area does this happen. Maybe I mean to say, Silicon Valley...

Breakfast:
1/2 cup hemp granola + 3/4 cup fat free soy milk
Snack:
1 cup weird Yak milk tea stuff (wasn't so hot)

1 slice of chocolate cake (I caved...there was a sheet of it!!)
1 orange

Leftover Mac Grill pasta
1 corn on cob

I guess I did ok today in terms of eating except for lunch. Forgot how much I miss Indian food. Hmm...maybe I need to explore some more good Indian food places to eat.

Getting kind of bored of the food diary. Maybe I'll take it offline. But this keeps me (more) honest:
Sunday:
Breakfast:
1 lao-pou bing (wife cake) + 1 chinese pineapple square thingie
1 glass skim milk
Lunch:
1/2 whole wheat pita bread + hummus
1 white peach
Small (like miniscule, sigh) piece of grilled salmon
Snack:
Strawberries
Dinner:
3/4 breast chicken + angel hair pasta in diced tomato sauce (sssoo yum)
Today I slacked. Maybe this is why I am bored with food diary. :P
Breakfast:
1/2 cup Hemp granola + 3/4 cup skim milk
Lunch:
1/2 Macaroni Grill's Carmela Chicken Rigatoni
Rosemary Garlic Bread (or whatever they serve for free)
1 bite chocolate cake (it was someone's birthday!)
Snack:
1 package of plum snack thingie
Dinner:
Leftover Pad See You
1 white peach
My ankle is still hating me. I wonder if I should seriously just lay off of it for a while and let it heal, or if I should just take some ibuprofin and suck it up. I just found this awesome crosstraining class, and I really super like it, but I can't do my step class on top of it b/c my ankle just decides to die on me.
Oh. Something I learned today in cross training that about kicked my ass (and she friggin did at the end of the class too). The exercise is basically this:starting at 10, do 10 pushups and then 10 situps, and count down all the way to 1 (e.g., 10 pushups/10 situps, then 9 pushups/9 situps...etc) with NO breaks. Craziness only because of the speed at which she wanted us to do it at. Hopefully this does good things to my body. :)

It's diet time!
Today I went bikini hunting. This was.........abysmal.
I need to work on some stuff. All around my body. It needs help.
SO! I've decided to start journaling what I eat. Maybe if I make it public, it'll make me more likely to eat healthier b/c I am vain and don't want others to know that I secretly gorge on brownies all the time. So. I'm gonna start with today. :) It's boring. I know.
Breakfast:
1 onion pancake (made by yours truly, from scratch!)
1/2 bowl of watery rice congee
2 egg whites + 1 egg yolk scrambled with chinese radish
Lunch:
leftover sausage and pepper pasta from mac grill
leftover fried fish from princeton's seafood
leftover caesar salad (with no salad dressing!)
5 cherries
leftover egg custard bun
Snack:
Double shot low-fat cafe latte
Dinner:
4 ounces (maybe?) of porterhouse steak
1/4 lb king snow crab (holy shit that is good)
1 corn (with no butter or salt!)
spring salad mix (no dressing)
It's not great. But I'm gonna work on it. Think I'm gonna try to cut out cheese, most breads (I still have a loaf left), anything deep fried, and pastas. I think I'm basically going on a low carb diet. Hope I can stick with it.
