Sunday Song of the Week

Here is your song of the week 2 days late! My bad.

Sexy Song of the Week

So, this weekend was pretty nice. I worked on homework slept on the couch Saturday afternoon and then Saturday night went to a party in town! Here are some pics from the bar before the party started. I was really monitoring my points and trying to keep the alcohol at a minimum so I went pretty ghetto and made these all night! It looks weird to do this at a bar, but who cares! At one point in the night an older black gentleman still rocking the jerry curl and saved by the bell style button up rocked some Lionel Richie on karaoke, so my weird drink making was mostly ignored.

Emma's Super Skinny, Totally Stole This Recipe, Alcoholic Beverage
Order the following at the bar:
1 shot of well vodka
1 tall glass of water

When you get back to your table drink some of the water then pour the shot in the water glass. Add in 1 crystal light lemonade (or your choice of flavor) individual packet and mix it up! The only calories come from the vodka, and clear liquor generally contains less sugar than dark colored liquor, and the crystal light makes it taste so delicious! Also by ordering a shot instead of a vodka and water you can monitor better how much vodka goes into the drink. Some bartenders will mix way more than 1.5 ounces of vodka in a glass, and the shot glass keeps you in control of the amount of liquor you consume.

Over the course of 5 hours I had 4 of these drinks which equalled out to be 14 WW points total so not so bad!

So we had a good time overall. I really enjoyed going out and not wanting to crawl under a rock the next day from a massive hangover. I even got up Sunday, made breakfast and went and ran 4 miles with my friend Shelby! 

So it was a good weekend. Sunday night the boyfriend and I went to dinner at Cheddars (they have the best grilled fish tacos) and then came home and watched TV. He had been gone at that ReptiCon (reptile convention) all weekend so it was good to spend some time together. I have more stories for you about David and my week, and I'll write them up asap!

Waist Line Lies

I am really trying to avoid writing this paper, so I figured I would give a quick blog update on how this week is going! It's Saturday and the boyfriend is at a reptile convention out of town, so I have the house to myself. I.HAVE.THE.HOUSE.TO.MYSELF. Wednesday night I came home and had all these things I was going to do, then this realization hit me and I made turkey hotdogs with cucumbers (my favorite!) and watched American Idol for 2 hours uninterrupted, then made a pillow fort and hogged all the covers. I love my boyfriend, and living together is fun, but sometimes it's nice to have some time alone.

So here I am Saturday. I slept till 11 and then made breakfast burritos and sat down to start my paper. Mid paper writing I fell asleep and took a 3 hour unscheduled nap, then woke up completely unmotivated to finish. I have 2 pages of 8 done. Life of a Grad student.

Tonight is a big party I am super excited to go to, so I have decided to leave the paper be for the day and fix some dinner instead. On tonight's menu is baked tilapia and garden medley vegetables. 4 WW points per serving, here is the recipe:

1 bag garden medley vegetables. Wal-Mart brand
2 filets of tilapia. 6 oz total
1 tbsp. Lawrys seasoned salt
2 tbsp minced garlic

I just sprayed a bread baking pan with butter flavored cooking spray, put down the veggies first, then 2 filets of tilapia, then sprinkled on the seasoned salt and garlic, covered in aluminum foil, and popped in the oven at 400. Cook until the fish flakes apart easily. I don't have a picture since it is still cooking but its delicious, quick and easy and makes enough for 2 people or 2 meals.

I am about to go run and then come back, eat and get ready to go out! This is going to be a bit of a challenge for me since drinking is my biggest downfall to WW, so I am going to order waters and bring my crystal light and tell everyone I put vodka in it. White lies to save my waist line are ok.

I have done really really well since Thursday on tracking. I have tracked everything, worked out, and stayed on point so I am excited to see what Thursdays scale has to say. I have a mental goal of at least 2 lbs, so we shall see!

Go out and enjoy your Saturday night and don't be afraid to lie to your friends about what your drinking! It's good for you.
