Babies!

Today was double awesome!  I spent my whole 12 hour shift with a family who had their baby half hour before I was done -- great day!  (I got a little happy emotional HAHA I'm a huge suck!)

AND!

Super healthy eats!  Went to Costco with Erica after shift and stocked up!  Healthyness packed for lunch tomorrow :D!

That's it!  Just updating and then hitting the hay!

Night!

AHA!

Ok friends!  What do you think about these names??

A) Skinny Jean Life
B) Skinny Jean Confessions

I like both of them.  Short, sweet, continue what I've been talking about but make it more general.  Thoughts....?

I am sitting here drinking my candy cane lane green tea and patting myself on the back for having had such a great week!  I saw my old boss (a dancer!) at work today, and she could not stop commenting on how good I look.  Seriously, it was getting ridiculous.  There's some real life feedback for you.  Felt amazing!  She is like my second mother and took me under her wing when I came to university, so I skipped my workout tonight to go to her daughters birthday party.  I think that was some legit prioritizing.  I had NO CAKE and NO PIZZA and was very happy with my decision.  I came home and made super easy makeshift cabbage rolls by microwaving frozen brussel sprouts (thank you miss Erica for stocking the freezer with those) and textured vegetable protein (TVP) sauteed with onions and a little bit of spice and macadamia nut oil.  SO GOOD!

TVP is bland by itself but with the spice and onion it was good.  Erica is going to make some soup with it for me this week and I can't wait.  I don't know if any of you know who Tosca Reno is -- the Eat Clean Diet lady also known as one of my heros.  Anyways, I busted out her book and she uses TVP as a substitute for ground beef all the time.  So vegetarians CAN eat clean!

I have been enjoying my vegetarian meals SO MUCH MORE!  I think that is what has been keeping me going.  I have added an iron supplement at night just so I don't get low.

Dance yesterday was rockin!  My ankle didn't hurt at all and I really feel like I am improving.  This is what makes me happy.

Ok, ok...enough rambling SJ!

Hope you all enjoy the rest of football Sunday!

Day 3-6

So, somehow I missed 3 days.  Oh boy!  I'm starting to think that maybe I just wasn't cut out for this blogging world.  Or maybe I should just not make promises that I can't keep...

Anyways...on to more important things.  This week has been 200% better than last week!  I guess every once in a while you need a week of feeling crappy to remind you how good you feel when you take care of yourself.  I had a bad day on day 3, but I just let that go and continued on track on Thursday.

I started the meal plan from the competition again.  I'm not sure if I wasn't eating enough of my own plan, or the wrong combinations of stuff but since I switched I'm feeling great.  Who knows...maybe its a placebo effect.

Workouts this week...stellar!
Like I said, I did one full body, one upper body and one lower body workout.  I did cardio on all these days too.  I have not been so sore since the beginning of this competition.  It really felt good this week.  I just hope I can dance today.  Oh yeah!  I also did hot yoga yesterday...happy, sweaty!

Today is dance day!  Food is packed!  I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday!
