Going home tomorrow: Anxious me & Messy eats! ^_^

Bad (-1 point for each) : none
Good (1 point for each):

• A good sweaty workout this morning.
  
• I'm going home tomorrow!!!!!!!
  

Sum: 2
I didn't sleep well last night again, woke up at 4.30am, went back to sleep until 5.30am, got up, had breakfast and went back to sleep for another hour. But when I got up for the second time, I still felt tired. I think since I didn't work last 3 days and began to relax myself, my accumulated stress and tension caught me finally. But, I don't care, because I'm going home tomorrow!!!!
Today was a sunny day here in MD, but I just wanted it to be over soon. SO ANXIOUS!!!!
Breakfast

• 1/2 cup oats
• 1/2 cup soy milk
• 1/2 banana
• 1 cup raspberries and blackberries
• 2 tbsp flax meal

1/3 cup whole french vanilla yogurt
Another Holy Yum!!! Fresh berries are so good! They're pretty, delicious and have tons of antioxidants!!! My last few bites.....mmmmmmm...... yummie!
oh.... I had two cups of kamut puffs earlier when I was checking your blogs.
After some errands at home, I went to the gym. I haven't workout for last two days and my body was craving a good sweaty workout. Before the workout, some fuel. A muffin
I did 5.2 miles on the treadmill (an hour) between running, walking and climbing. I felt great after that.
Back home, assembled a quick lunch with last few edibles. Baked portabella (marinated in soy sauce, S+P and sesame oil) egg salad (2 whole eggs and 1 egg white, canola oil, mustard, S+P) frozen veggies and a Tj's muffin.It was delicious and very filling. I was really stuffed, so for dessert I only had half blueberries muffin.
Finished packing, did laundry, update my ipod preparing for the longggggggggg flight (15 hours from Atlanta to Shanghai.) My bags are way to heavy, so I spent an hour trying to put everything in it and to not over-weight. I don't know why, I go to home twice a year, but my bags are always so heavy hitting the limit of 50 lbs each one. I guess it's because I love buying gifts for my family ^_^
A late PM snack (since lunch was so filling): kamut puffs (2-3 cups) with almond breeze chocolate. It was a huge bowl, double the size of my usual portion. (I had to finish them, otherwise they'll going to get bad in 6 weeks). Yes, I'm going home for SIX WEEKS!!!! jajjja..... are you jealous of me?
No official dinner after the big lunch and big snack, so I made another bowl of leftovers: fage+an apple and cinnamon. The perfect messy eat to finish my day ^_^
okay. I need to go to bed soon because I'll have to get up at 3am. My flight is 6am from DC to Atlanta and then direct flight to Shanghai. Hopefully I'll get home by Tuesday morning US time.
See u then everyone! I love you all ^__^

oh.... Does anyway know any website to design menus and labels? I want to print menu for my party and have no idea where to find the format/design for it.

last minute shopping tour~~~~

Bad (-1 point for each) : none
Good (1 point for each):

• A long talk to mom (even I'm going to see her in less than 72 hs.)
• Gifts for Dad and uncle.
  

Sum: 2
I had a good sleep last night, woke up feeling fabulous!!! Then, after breakfast I called my mom with last updates about my packing and gifts. I wanted to buy more gifts for my family (although my bags are already full) but didn't know what to buy. My dearest mom told me that my Dad loves the polo T-shirt I bought him last year, so I changed my plan of another leisure/lazy day for shopping. I spent all day long doing shopping, from one store to another. Results? 2 t-shirts for my Dad, 1 t-shirt for my uncle; two new bowls for me ;) and some cosmetics for me too!!!! ^_^ I was pretty tired when I got home. Shopping is fun, but too much isn't.

okay. Some eats! (not very exciting, because of the shopping tour, I didn't have a real meal until dinner).
Breakfast was pretty good

• 1/2 cup oats
• 1/2 cup soy milk
• 1/2 banana
• vanilla + cinnamon + flax meal
• 1/3 cup whole vanilla french yogurt
• 1/2 cup blackberries

This combo deserves a Holy Yum~~~~~~ ^_^
After I talked to mom and decided to head to shopping, I munched a blueberry muffin first
and then packed an apple and a muffin sandwich with chocolate PB as lunch, because I was going alone and I wouldn't eat alone at the food court (that's too sad. But shopping alone isn't. Actually I think sometimes I prefer doing it alone!)
Back home around 4pm I prepared a good snack with one of my new bowl: fage+raspberries+kamut puffs.I had also a handful of almonds.I was going to have dinner with a friend who's moving to Houston for work. But when he called me he said some other friends of him (who I don't know) are inviting him for dinner and if I wanted to join them. I didn't want to go a dinner with most strangers, so I proposed to have a coffee with him alone before his dinner so we can have a better talk.
Back home, I craved a REAL meal. So I made a portbello pizzagrilled tofu and some frozen veggies. Oh... and the other half can of split peas soup.
Delish~~~~~~~~
Dessert: muffin!!! I didn't realize that I was leaving on Monday when I bought them (6) yesterday, so I'm having them as snack and dessert. I don't complain about it though since it's really good. I like that it's small in size, very moist, and not so sweet! (I bought them in Tj's)

Tomorrow is my last day before I flight home. My plan is to do some workout (I haven't workout for two days and my body is asking me for it), finish packing and to be excited!!!!!

I hope everyone had a good Saturday, got all the gifts and have everything set for the holiday!

I did nothing all day long~ Woke up at 3am, finished with grading stuffs, had breakfast at 6, went to sleep for another hour at 8. Got up, packed, went to Tj's and WF for ingredients for my birthday party in China. Back, lunch, nap, watch a video, went out for dinner with some friends. Now, I hope my zumbi situation can finally get over with a good night sleep.

FABULOUS DAY~~~~~
Okay, let me go to the detail of the big surprise! Actually the surprise came yesterday, but I wasn't at home so the ups man dropped off the package at the leasing office. I knew it was something from Tiffie, but I didn't know that it was going to be such a BIG package.It's the BIG SIX assorted flavor from Peanut & Co.woooooooooooooooo............ Unbelievable!!! Isn't it? It's my first gift some another blogger! I can't describe how happy and excited I am.
I couldn't wait longer and open the dark chocolate dream bottle for a big spoon!!!! wooooo......it's heaven!!!!!! It's soooooo delicious! Smooth, perfect sweetness, goshhhh..... it's more like a chocolate mousse than Peanut Butter!!! Love it!!!!!!!
I love ya Tiffie! (she might not read this since she's flying back to Taiwan right now) ^_^.

Today's eats was better than yesterday.. (don't expect nothing great either)
Breakfast (6am)

• 1/2 cup oats
• 1/2 cup soy milk
• 1 chopped apple
• 1 tbsp flax meal
• cinnamon + ginger powder
• 1/3 cup whole milk Tj's yogurt (Savannah didn't finish it and she left this morning to China, so I'll have to finish it somehow)

yum yum~~~~ But look my coffee, it's so weird. I'm running out of creamer so I used soy milk. Why it looks like this??? Anyone knows why? Because when I buy coffee at Co-op and add soy milk, it doesn't look like that.
Then I went to the spin class.....wonderful~~~ sweaty and happy. My stat

Lunch was leftover veggie ricotta pudding again (last portion)Also packed a Tj's muffin with PB.Almonds too.
Back home..... Starving again! But the problem is that I cleaned my fridge too well....I had no food at home! well....yes, some. But no veggies at all! So that means no food for me. First, I had another spoon of PB and then I runned to the supermarket to get some veggies for my tortilla pizza. An hour later, my dinner was ready.topping: broccoli, zucchini, tofu, tomato sauce, mozarella, S+P, basil.
And more veggies on the side: frozen brussel sprouts and yellow squash.
This is so good!!!!!!!! Tortilla pizza is definitely my favorite new food this year!!!!! ^_^
Dessert: fage + frozen blueberries.
What a day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^____^ AMAZING!!!!

I guess everyone is busy going to holiday parties and/or shopping for gifts. Hope you enjoyed your day as much as I did.
