Day 53

Yeah, Nate wasn't very happy with me today because I decided to do math homework instead of working out :(  Everything's a bit crazy, so I have to really focus so I graduate.  Anyway, I ended up meeting my Math Buddy for lunch and had a small soft shelled taco.  I've still been feeling sickly but nothing compared to yesterday.  After classes Le Le and I hung out and got hungry so we went to Dirk's and shared a plate of fettuccine Alfredo, which was delicious, along with some spicy chicken wings, which were extremely spicy.  We also shared a MASSIVE piece of German Chocolate cake, seriously, the thing was life-size, but delicious.  I think we both felt sick afterwards, and we even had Jules to top things off.  Anyway, after that I pretty much didn't need anymore food.

Day 52

Today I really hardly ate anything, it was a really busy day.  I actually was feeling rather sick and Jules has been feeling the same lately so we stopped at the local burger joint and got a cheeseburger, and then I ate about ten cough drops.  It was pretty laid back :P

Day 51

Today was especially fun.  You will be proud of me - mostly. :P

Nate and I got up to work out. He made an interesting shake with lots of fruit and some protein and it wasn't so bad. Then we went to the gym and I ran for about twenty minutes, and burned 91 calories.  It felt like more. I also did some weight lifting, and my arms are already sore so I think I did a pretty good job. :P

We decided to go up north to buy our bikes for our trip (which we actually couldn't find ones in our price-range) so we ended up stopping at a sushi place for dinner.  I love sushi, and it is nice and Japanese and healthy for you.  I had six amazing pieces of sushi and some gyoza (japanese pot stickers). They are very delicious.

There are several different types of sushi.  Normal sushi is a rectangle of rice with raw fish placed on top, like these (not the round ones):

There are also rolls with sushi in the center, surrounded by rice and then wrapped in seaweed.  These are particularly delicious. If you are first timer, definitely get a sushi roll.  My particular favorite is the California roll, although we had a Vegas roll last night and it was amazing. 

To top off our eating fest, I broke down and had the most amazing dessert. It was made with hazelnut cream in the center, surrounded by chocolate mousse, covered by a shell of chocolate, drizzled with chocolate, vanilla and raspberry topping.  I very much wanted more.  It looked something like this:

It is called a pyramid noisette. *sigh* It was beyond words delicious.  We got it at Shoga's and the prices weren't bad, so if you ever feel like sushi and the best chocolate ever, you should come try some.  And that is how my day went, I'm pretty sure my chocolate goodness completely ruined my workout :S  (but it was worth it)

Day 50

So, Nate and I decided that we need to be more healthy, especially since we are planning on cycling through Europe.  Today we took a very long walk up to temple hill.  I hadn't eaten anything, so by the time we got home we decided to make soft tacos with steak, which were very good and pretty healthy.  They had cheese, steak, sour cream, salsa and lettuce, yummy :P  Unfortunately we went to visit friends and I ate two of their mint cookies and part of a mint brownie.  They were also yummy :P

Day 49

Today I really didn't eat very much, it was one of those wait-til-I-get-to-work days.  I couldn't decide what I wanted to eat, but someone ordered chicken nuggets, so that's what I decided to eat, along with fries.  It really wasn't the best of ideas, but it was okay. Greasy food really isn't very good for you though :S.

Day 48

So today was fun.  I had my lovely bowl of cereal (I know, amazing we still have milk huh?  I yelled at the family about it, so I think they've cut down a bit, I hope I'm not a control freak :S  ) after that I met up with two favorite sisters (Cox females if you don't know) and hung out with them for lunch while doing our math homework. I had a nice soft taco that included hamburger, lettuce, cheese and olives.  They only let me choose three toppings, but I'm not a big tomato eater, so it was fine. I also had a chocolate milk, which was super yummy.

My class (creative writing of course) distributed a piece of strawberry wafer cookie, which wasn't very good but was well devoured along with two chips ahoy cookies which were even more well devoured.

I got home and snuck (I know it's not a word, but you all know what it means) three pieces of fudge which were ama-za-zing.

Off to work where I devoured a flat iron steak with a salad and some green beans a long with two crossants.  All in all a very big eating day for me. :P

Day 47

So, today, after I had my lovely bit of raisin bran I found myself picking Jules up from school and searching for a hot fudge brownie sundae. Now apparently, people in Sanpete are ignorant and have no idea what these things are.  The name itself just doesn't give enough away to put two and two together.  I think it's the term "sundae" and "brownie" that they just don't understand.  For fear that I was going crazy because the two fast food restaurants in town gave me quizzical looks when I attempted to order said hot fudge brownie sundae I decided to google it to make sure it wasn't something I just dreamed up once. 

 

No I wasn't.  There are myriads of images like this that appeared.  Why doesn't Sanpete know what they are?  Also to note, you know something's wrong with your town when they've never heard of it....sad really.  the saddest thing is that since I couldn't find anywhere that served these I was forced to compromise. Luckily Randi gave me a couple mint candies in celebration of St. Patty's Death, which held me over until I could

find myself at the local candy shop, purchasing clover shaped fudge and minty goodness.  All in all, it hit the spot, though a hot fudge brownie sundae would have been nice. 

After that I went to work, realized I was completely starving and took it upon myself to create one of my favorite Panini sandwiches.  It was truly delicious. 

Followed closely by a small piece of prime rib (I had to scrape it off the side cause it was a little overcooked) and some green mashed potatoes we concocted in honor of the great Irish day

I kept thinking it was mint ice cream, so it was a bit of a downer.  Funny how looks affect everything, including poor mashed potatoes. Isn't it also funny that chocolate kinda looks like pooh now and than?  Anyway, happy Green day!  (not the band)
