road trip... to hell.

what up lovelies! so i thought today was going to be a cool one here in the north west, but alas the morning clouds tricked me. but shoo i LOVE sunny weather and i am learning to embrace this 90 degree heat wave. this ladies ideal temperature is 75-80 degrees with a slight breeze, ahhh bliss.

anyways bfast did not disappoint my taste buds.
i had about 3 cups o' joy and this lovely platter. blueberries, half a naner, a fig, some pb puffins and of course almond butta.

i decided to go on a run outside because i thought, THOUGHT, it wouldn't be too hot. plus, running on a treadmill gets old quickly. i went for about a 30 minute sweaty ass run... and it was wonderful. then once getting back i hopped in mama c. and papa l's pool and swam some laps. perfect way to start the day.

damn the tummy was hungry after this.
shroom's and hummus. plus tj's 0% honey greek yogurt with blueberries and kashi go lean crunch mixed in. ALSO i had a large handful of tj's mini pb cups.
delicious.

i showered and got ready cause my ma and i were headed to the mall. she needed to return something and i was getting new flippy floppies! holla.
cute, say no?

after she dropped me off in ballard because i promised my bro i'd drive with him down to no man's land washington so he could get weighed. for what you ask? well bro ho is doing a strong man competition tomorrow and he had to be under 200 lbeezies. therefore he basically didn't eat for two days... he was shaking. i did not approve. it took forever, damn seattle traffic, getting lost and it was a f*cking sauna in his pleather seated non air conditioned truck. heaven on earth, truly. well, he made weight and the drive home was much more pleasant. we stopped at a grocery store and he consumed probably 3,000 calories on the ride home.

i however stuck to the trusty stand by.
cashew larabar, pictured after i scarfed it down.

once getting home i was literally starving. i was going to make an elaborate meal but i truly could not function if i didn't get food in my system. so i ate something fast n' easy.
pink lady apple with cinnamon, a fig and mushrooms and hummus. plus la tortilla factory wrap with almond butta... and then i consumed another one right after, surprise.

i read on the couch for a wee bit, then cleaned my room and settled in to watch some late night tv. then i started out with this harmless bowl of cereal and blueberries.
howevvvver it turned out not so harmless when i went back for two more bowls. with puffins and kashi go lean crunch. maybe i did not take in enough calories through out the day or yesterday but i devored those huge bowls... and then had a tummy ache :(. i suppose serves me right ha!

so i'm off to my bro's strong man competition today ahah! i let you know how it goes. have a bangin' saturday dolls!

'arry potta

good morn' ladies! after about 4 days of 100 degree weather i awoke to clouded cool-ish sky's. now i love me some heat, but man shoo i'm embracing this drop in temp with open arms. i guess i truly am a northwest girl :)

on to yesterday's eats (i did not capture wednesdays but eh, what can ya do?)

breakie!
black coffee, naner dipped in almond butta. plus i also had another cup of coffee with soy milk and ice to beat that heat.

i ran on that good ole' tread a lil' later. doing 3 miles in 27 minutes, then walking on an incline for .8 miles. then hopped in the shower and got dressed to go to costco and trader joe's with the pops. trust, home girl never misses an opportunity to go grocery shopping!

before leaving i quickly grabbed this.
toasted arny's thins (for some reason on the last post i called them arnold's sandwich thins... no idea why because when i looked at the bag they were defiantly just orwell's brand, but now they will forever be deemed arny's). with hummus and smoked salmon.

i wish i would have taken a picture of all the groceries that were purchased. seriously it is ridiculous, papa l. spends SO much money on food. some people invest in clothes, others cars... with my family it's food all the way.

once getting back and putting the massive amount of lout away i was haaangry. so i had dis'.
sliced pink lady apple, blueberries, light laughing cow cheese wedge and a generous sprinkle of cinnamon. but was still hungry so i also munched on this treat.
la tortilla factory wrap with almond butta. yum.

proceeded the eats with reading my book and going for a swim. i planned on eating dinna before going on a hot date (eh hem with my parents) to 'arry potta, but after showering there was no time. so i grabbed these snack's for the movie.
peanut butter cookie larabar... my fav. and a pink lady. for the record i crunched on the pink lady before the movie not during. i do not want to be the one getting pop corn thrown at, i'd rather be the one throwing, thank you.

'arry was good and entertaining, but i'm kind of a book snob. therefore, in most cases the movie just can not compare to the writing. we got back round 10 and i needed a lil' snackie.
ok yeah i'm kind of repetitive, but it's what i wanted! la tortilla factory wrap with my beloved almond butta. then i wanted something a bit sweeter so i snacked on this while watching real housewives of altlanta (ha!).
a vanilla skinny cow ice cream sandwich, with the sides cut off... kind of random. then tj's mini pb cups on top, and of course cinnamon.

ended the night reading my book, it's kind of massive. i just ate bfast and am sipping on some coffee, enjoy yo' friday chica's!

BACK!

so it has been far far too long since i've posted. i have missed you all! so basically due to my camera breaking and working at a camp for three weeks i have neglected sharing my adventures and sweet tooth ways, this shame's me.

good news is i jacked my bro's camera, so this lil' lady shall be posting on a regular basis again! woop woop. in case you were curious about what i was up to while working at camp it was mostly this...
harassing counselors n' campers alike, while pretending (or perhaps actually) being a mythological creature.

ANYWAYS... on to yesterday's eats. it was amazing to be able to eat veggies and fruit again! just thinking about it puts a smile to my face. let's just say camp was full of bread slathered in butta, cheese, ice berg lettuce and a plethora of candy.

bfast
nectarine slash nectar of the gods with a dash of cinnamon. arnold's sandwich thins with almond butta PLUS the essential un pictured black coffee.

since it is freakishly hot in seattle right now 90's and 100's say whatttt? i ran inside on the treadmill. while at camp i was running on trails so this was quite the switch. i ran 4 miles in 36: 30, then walked on an incline for a half a mile.

i applied for two jobs online then hunger kicked in.
red peppa' dipped in hummus and another nectarine, seriously i love them. then i wanted chocolate of course so i munch on these dime pieces.
trader joe's very chocolate mini meringues and chocolate covered almonds. and then proceeded to double my intake of this by eating an un pictured round two.

then the book i'm reading sucked my eyes to it's pages. it's called a game of thrones... and i highly recommend it in case your interested :)
hunger pains hit yet again so i had this treat.
aronld's thin avec almond butta and tj's organic reduced sugar raspberry jam.

then the pool was summoning my name, so i beckoned. i swam laps for about a half an hour, then had a heart to heart with mama coop. once dinna rolled around salad was the only thing i could think about... weird.
boca burger with ketchup n' mustard, tortilla chips and stacey's pita chips (mostly crumbs). also my beloved salad: spinach, almond slivers, mozzarella balls, fake bacon, capers, hummus and vinegar. delicious.

after dinner i proceeded to read my book on the couch then followed that by taking a nap for a half and hour at 8:30 at night. this heat is getting to me ya'll.

night time snack while watching trashy bravo shows was a massive bowl of cereal.
kashi go lean crunch plus honey sunshine with nectarine slices, (obsessed much?) raspberries, cinnamon and soy milk. bowl full of carbs is the perfect way to end my nights :)

anyways i hope all you ladies have a lovely day!

a sad day.

SO turns out i busted my camera. it is a sad, sad day. how you ask? there may have been a 4th of july wrestling match, apparently my camera was a victim of this battle. i thought i could fix it but alas my tec savvy friend told me to give it a funeral. there's no way to resurrect that bad boy back to life :(.

therefore blogging wise, it has truly cramped my style. i took pictures on the celly of my eats... but they all looked a little pathetic hah! so i don't know if i should keep blogging and just make all ya eyes suffer a little bit or what. but i love reading all your ladies ones!!! and definitely don't want to leave this wondrous place... the land of blog!

trouble.

exactly what my friends and i are, ha!

so this weekend was amazing! i just got back home and shooo this little lady is tired. therefore i'm just going to show you some highlights, in photo form durrr. mind you, only one of them is food. oh and on the food front, this weekend was a hot mess! but tomorrow back on track fo sho.

and let the madness begin.
me, mish and rach. love em'.
sassin' it up. notice the peek a boo of bowie in the back.

wearing a skirt on a trampoline, class. right after this i told rach, "back up back up back up... watch this" did a flip then dealt with the consequences ha!
why so blissful. and you ladies came to see food, but really you got so much more... probably too much info on my life haha!
docta guy fixed it up.
i did eat this, red berry! my first time eating fro yo! gaaahh it is delicious! with graham crackers and reeses peanut butta cups.
went to a bbq by the train tracks and of course had to document.
hair looking a little cracked out.
right after we watched fire works, no idea why i'm grabbing my friend chris' head!
so in pictures i always have to crouch, seriously i've perfected it. my friends are 5 feet and i'm 5' 9", splendid.
me, john n' guy!
hah jesus chris!

too ridiculous of a post??? back to food next... promise!

hope everyone had a balla 4th!

shroom lovin'

no, not the drug. i have a strange addiction to mushrooms, especially dipped in hummus... i don't know when this began nor do i currr, cause they damn good!

anyways before the dentist i ate this treasure of a bfast.

naner, blueberries, handful of puffins, half a chocolate chip zbar, a dollop of almond butta and my lover black coffee.

then i went to go get muh teeth all sparkling n' white. upon returning i decided to try something new that i've seen lurking around blog land. green smoothie!
frozen naner, one cup plain soy milk, a heaping spoonful of almond butta and two handfuls of spinach. it was delicous! usually i'm a solid food kind of gal, just cause i feel like i'm getting jipped if i drink a liquid meal but it kept me nice and full for a couple of hours.

i ran 4.5 miles today, then walked half a mile on an incline... balla. after the sweat shesh i soaked up the sunshine.

lunchie was this beauty.

?two mushrooms n hummus, tofu with hot sauce, a few slices of avocado, rainer cherries (baaamb) and finish it off with two chocolates. perfect :)

i swam laps today for about 30 min too. seriously i love swimming in the summer... and lounging in a pool ;), who doesn't? it makes me miss my job from last year. i was a private swim instructor for 2-5 year olds, i just loved the things that would come out of those little gremlins mouths!

dinna was filling n' delicious.

mushrooms n hummus (surprise), baby carrots, mini mozzarella balls, 1 tj's egg roll with tzatziki (right spelling finally, woop!). also some cherries, 1/2 a naner, blueberries, almond butta and a dark chocolate.

i am officially exhausted at 9:30. mind you i have no true reason to be, i'm just a grandpa trapped in a 20 year old body.
tomorrow morn' i leave for bellingham to visit my friends, yayer!

edited to add: last night i also scarfed down a bowl of pb puffins plus tj's coco filled squares. also i had a honey graham zbar heated up and some chocolate chips. gotta cure that sweet tooth.

oh and this lovely friday morn' i woke up and went on a short 15 min run outside... cause exercising this weekend... that shiat is going out the window! :)

enjoy your 4th ladies!

love me some vitamin d!

so basically i woke at 7 planning to go on a lil' a.m. run... still has not happened. instead i'm drinking coffee, lurking online, basically living the dream. this morning i got myself a dentist appointment... blah. someones real pumped. but on the plus side my whites will get their pearly on!

yesterday was a good day. with my eats, the sun (vitamin d perhaps), just life man... or shall i say woman. it started of with consuming this.
naner with almond butta, a figgy and a handful of pb puffins... cause clearly there a main food group.

i ran on the tread today, it was far too hot outside. i ran 4 miles and then walked a mile on a incline, twas nice and sweaty afterwards. after showering n stuff i snacked.

mushrooms, carrots, block of tofu with hot saucy and a heaping spoonful (or two) o' hummus. then of course these taste buds needed a little summin summin sweet. pb filled cups (all gone :( ) and salted chocolate covered almonds (bomb), and then ate the same amount in the picture a second later.

i had to walk town to our local "mall" ha! if you can call it that. no clothing stores mind you, but i had to send out some mail for muh job at camp. it takes about 45 minutes to walk there and back, let me tell you once i returned i was sweatin! could of been the heat or the fact that i was power walking, okay logically a combination of the two.

awhile later i munch on this lovely treat.
i ate it outside, and since it was hot it made the larabar a tad warm which equals it tasting like a warm peanut butter cookie! yum.

i swam some laps, got my tan on and listened to some jams. around 5ish my belly was asking for some food but i didn't wan dinna yet so i had this.

cottage cheese, tomatoes and hot sauce. looks a little nast, but trust it was good.

at 7 this lady decided it was time to get her dine on.

smoke salmon, a grape leaf and mushrooms. after the pic added taziki (i know i'm spelling this wrong, but i'm too lazy to go look in the fridge and see the correct way) and a huge dollop of hummus. a salad with figs, i also added avocado slices and balsamic vinegar.

i cleaned my room, sent out more job apps, and lounge around. okay, so confession i may have watched mtv real world cancun last night... felt kind of trashy but also secretly enjoyed it. i had this carb fest while destroying my brain cells.
pb puffins with soy milk, half a naner dipped in almond butta, half a chocolate chip clif zbar, some chocolate filled squares and some hidden chocolate covered almonds. hey, this blog is called adventures of a sweet tooth :)

anywho i'm off to eat some breakie, drink some coffee, and go see mr. dentist.
ya'll have a glorious day!

oh the midnight munchies

top o' the morn'!

yesterday's eats were pretty standard. started my day off eating healthy then ended up getting snack happy at 12 am, it's how i do.

bfast oh glorious bfast.
black coffee (addict), naner with cinn and a bunch o' almond butta. this might seem like a itty bfast but i wasn't doing anything active till later so it held me off fine for a couple of hours.

what did i do next? job hunt! lovely :/. so i go to work as a staff member at a camp in a week, but i'm back for the whole month of august and beyond so homegirl needs one... cause this stir crazy shit has to go.

bfast round 2 around 12.
bfast cookie mashed with half banana and cinn, almond butta on top and the rest of the naner. what can i say my taste buds know what they like!

i ran for 30 min today, but then my legs were not havin it. weak sauce. that hike on saturday is still crampin muh style.

later i had this.
the last 0% greek yogurt, i shall mourn your loss. plus a sprinkle of deliciousness with kashi golean crunch and pb puffins.

i swam laps today for about 30 min ish, and by swimming i mean doing some laps then playing with floaty toys.

since i was neglecting my veggies all day i knew dinna had to make up for this deficit.

1 tj's egg roll with taziki sauce and hot sauce. carrots, mushrooms, 1/4 avocado, hummus a fig and a dollop of almond butta.
right after i had this, true love.
mini pb cups, plus a second handful.

later my parents and i watched the women. it was meh, parts of it annoyed me but overall i suppose it was about sisterhood. power to my peoples! while watching i munched on a heated up honey graham zbar.
plus a bowl of pb puffins and tjs deadly chocolate filled cereal... seriously get out of my cupboard!

also i got munchie (bored) around 12am... perfect time to feast right? had myself another bowl of cereal and a almond butta wrap. but whateva sometimes you just need to midnight eat ya know?!

right now i'm sippin on black coffee, still not hungry (so maybe there is consequences to eating late, ha!) and about to begin my day!

enjoy your day ladies!
