New Orleans in 24 hours!!

This post will be short due to my need to relax as much as possible before my crazy week (see previous post to hear about it). I'll be at the Sugar Bowl working.

Christmas was AMAZING! I had already gotten my gym membership and I also got a Garmin Nuvi55 GPS which im obsessed with. My parents also got me a lot of other goodies. I made a 45 mintue video for my family of our year spent together when they all visted me in Colorado. It was a special day.

Since Christmas, well, my Dad introduced me to the Band Of Brothers series and besides the men in it being soooo hot, it is an amazing story. I reccomend watching it even if you aren't a war-buff. It's comedic at times and so moving.

I sometimes forget this is a healthy lifestyle blog! I get so excited to talk about the little things I've enjoyed that I forget. Speaking of random things, I bought SOY MILK PUMPKIN SPICE and have been putting it in my cofee and it is amazing! You can substitute it in pancakes and any other dessert that requires milk. Yummm....

On to the healthy lifestyle (somewhat)...
I shot a wedding all day yesterday so no gym for me and then hung out with my two best friends and played The Office trivia till 3am over some wine. So fun.

Today has been low-key. Went out to lunch with my sister and friend. Spurlged and got 1/2 buff.chick.ch.steak and 1/2 BLT with sweet pototao fries. I don't know how most bloggers nevvver spurge on the nitty gritty greasy deliousness! I bought the 1st season of Curb Your Enthusiasm so I've been watching that, sooo funny.

So about this week..
I won't be back till Sunday afternoon. Wish me luck! It's going to be a crazy couple of days following around the dancers and shooting long hours during the day. The weather is going to be in the low 60's so YAY! My parents/boss warned me about how crazy Bourbon Street gets on New Years Eve sooo since I'm the only girl going with 2 older men who may not wanna get WILD down there, I'll prob. watch the antics from my hotel room and explore the city on the little spare time I have during the day. I can't wait to see the French Quarter! I get to go on a boat ride too but with like 600 high schoolers (I'm shooting a documentary for their experience at the Sugar Bowl to perform).

As for eating healthy down there, I have no idea what to expect. I may not even eat some days until like 9. I'll be excersising enough by lugging my camera with me everywhere. Phew. So BON VOYAGE to me and I'll be seeing you Sunday....

Happy New Years everyone, drink one for me!

Seafood, Bloody Marys, and I'm content

Merry Christmas Eve to all!

My hiatus has been much to long, due to my crazy life lately. I had work training Monday and learned that I'll be staying on Canal Street in New Orleans a BLOCK from Bourbon Street and 3 blocks from the French Quarter. I'm SOO EXCITED!

Yesterday my sister and I went shopping all day, then went to the gym. I did about 45 on the Elliptical and a bunch of weight lifting, abs, and legs. I got home and was soooo exhausted so I read Eclipse and dreamed of the food I have been making alll day today!

So my sister and I got up at 6:20 and did spinning at 7. Lisa (our instructor) played Trans-Siberian Orchestra and though I was sweating it was well worth it. I must've been tired because my shirt was on backwards the whole time. We then ventured to the super market to get our Christmas Eve, Christmas spread for my family.

Today we have been having:
Crab meat dip
Bruschetta
homemade bloody marys (Ina Garten's recipe is a-mazing)

For Dinner:
Shrimp (I deveined & peeled about 50, UGH)
Scallops in butter, wine and lemon
mashed potatoes
cauliflower el gratin (spelling?)

Dessert:
Blueberry Pie

This Christmas is like most of our others, except I do not have an urgency like I did last year to squeeze everything in due to my living far away. I AM leaving the 30th for New Orleans but I'm only gone for 4 days:)

During Christmas I always try to reflect on the greatest moments of the year. This year has definitely been my most adventurous and craziest thus far. I am thankful always for my family who through thick and thin have helped me out. Right now, when I am getting back on my feet, they help me out so much and for that I am grateful. I am grateful for the friends and for my sister who constantly surround me with positive energy and love.

Who knows what '09 will bring. That's the fun in it!

If I don't get to blogging tomorrow have a great Christmas and relax, replenish and ravage some delicious food!

One to many celebratory drinks

You would think that I was cramming New Years & Christmas festivities into one night on Thursday with the celebrating we all did.

Me and my friends at Amanda's Hibachi Birthday (I'm second from the left)

Rice heart!!!!
I got a spicy tuna roll with seaweed salad, no hibachi for me.
It was such a fun night though and Amanda had a great birthday. We went out after and AFTER the after where I learned why it is not wise to drink rum and cokes at 3am. All in all it was worth the HEFTY HANGOVER the next day which involved some not so pleasant nausea in the morning. I slept till 2 and ended up having to get a new cellphone because it mysteriously disappeared that night.

Tonight and tomorrow I'll be celebrating Christmas at my Aunt's with my Mom's whole side of the family. My aunt, uncle and 2 cousins from FL will be up too! The 21 year olds are planning on going out tonight and in comparison to the last time we went out with our cousins it should be so much fun!

As you can tell from reading, I bypassed the gym yesterday and won't even be able to go again till Tuesday. Monday is my work training for the Sugar Bowl, so I'll be pretty busy!

I wish you all a great Holiday week and safe travels! Enjoy one another's company

Top 5

In spirit of the movie "Say Anything" I wanted to do a top 5 list of my FAVORITE SONGS right now. Listening to these make me smile and are so friggin' good. So here they are

5. Ting-Tings - That's not my name (dancey and funky)

4. Mother's Little Helper - Rolling Stones (clap your hands to this)

3. Sia - Girl You Lost To Cocaine (good vocals good up-beat tempo)

2. Elephant Gun - Beirut (beautiful and whimsical)

1: Are We Human - The Killers (Soooo impressed with The Killers for this one. A-mazing)

And a quote of the day:

A song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment.
~ Sarah Dessen

Big Storms A Coming!

Momma's get your babies inside! (my Dad used to sing a song with those words when we were little and a storm was coming.

In NJ we're supposed to get a couple inches and it's basically 100% chance of precipitation tomorrow. I'm excited for the snow, but not for the fact that we'll be traveling in it up North to my Aunt's.
Last night & this morning my sister and I did Zumba (can you tell we love it), and we did weight lifting last night for arms and I did 35 mins of elliptical today about 3.4 miles. When I got home I was starving soooo I attempted to make an omelet but it ended up as scrambled eggs. How DO you make an omelet? UGH. I added mushrooms and a slice of american cheese and it ended up being SOO GOOD. I nibbled on a sugar cookie & 3 pieces of old dominion peanut brittle.

Tonight's Amanda's birthday dinner and I'm planning on getting some sushi. THEN my friend Daryl who is obsessed with Twilight like me and is already on the last book wants to see the movie. I already saw it once but I figured I'd see it again and give it a second chance. It did not compare to the book the first time I saw it.

I downloaded Britney's Circus album and for the most part like it. It's definitely a great mix for working out but some songs (Mmmm Papi) are kinda blahhhh. Her beats are pretty sweet though for the most part.

Ahhh...I am going to accept the fact that these last 2 weeks may be the calm before the storm (new job) for me so I don't feel guilty relaxing, esp. after a good 2 hours workout :)

Have a great Thursday. What movies are you excited to see that are coming out?

I want to see Doubt and Milk!!!

Karma's a biotch Vicky!

For those of you who aren't Biggest Loser fans, first of all why not? And second, last nights finale was crazy. Was it me or did all the people look so little? ESPECIALLY the girls! Amy and her mom looked amazing. After eating like 6 cookies yesterday I was feeling blahh..... But the best part of the show was that Michelle the younger underdog of the competition WON IT ALL!

It you've been following you would've known that the conniving biotch Vikey who was in the final 3 always said she knew how to "play the game" lost to Ed, a member of her alliance by ONE POUND! She always was so mean to everyone and well she will be kicking herself for eating that extra pound of food because she lost to Ed by ONE POUND. I'm really happy Michelle won. She worked super hard and looked beautiful at the finale. Okay now to get off my Biggest Loser soap box....

Today my sister and I went to Cardio Kickbox/Ab Blast for an hour and it was fun! It was good because your heartrate is up the whole time and you do work a lot of good muscles. We're attending our favorite class of Zumba later on. It's such a nasty day and at times like this I am thankful to be in South Jersey and not up at school in the mountains of PA. SUCH BAD ROADS.

Christmas is 8 days away, and I feel so annoyed this year being that I have like no money to buy presents. My family understand though so I said when I am raking in the big bucks I'll pay them back. Last year I went all out on gifts so it evens out.

Have a good Wednesday! I'm excited for tomorrow night Sushi birthday dinner for my friend Amanda!

Good listen of the day: Sia - Girl You Lost to Cocaine (it sounds all punk by the title but it's such a catchy song)

Good quote: Don't go letting life harden your heart

Holiday Cheer!

Lack of writing has been due to a pretty fun 2 days!

Yesterday morning I went to spinning then went food shopping and my sister made these delicious gingerbread/sugar cookies! She individually decorated each and I had to have 2:


Dana diligently working!!!





YUMMM!

And THEN to make my life even MORE delicious my boss sent me this gift basket!:

Wine Country Baskets are beautiful! It came with teas, cookies, peanut brittle, candy a beautiful plate, cheese and crackers! Tis' the season to indulge!

I went and saw Changeling with my Mom today after a nice lunch at a local cafe' with her and my sister. I got a broccoli quiche & a salad with their award winning crab chowder! For the record, Changeling was AMAZING! I feel like with the economic crisis and the negativity going on in the country these day, people want to goto the theaters to see something lighthearted, and Changeling is definitely not that. It makes you think, leaves you on the edge of your seat and is magnificently portrayed by Angelina Jolie. AND it's a true story which I love. So go see it if you want more than a feel-good movie. I think I have enough sweet to make me feel good till next year.

My sister ALSO gave me an early Christmas present of the Top Chef computer game which I've been playing. It's sooo addicting sooo I gotta go play!

Hope you all are allowing for the little indulgences and not letting the season stress you out too much:)

Talk to ya later!

New Moon Rising...Rising Rising

.....Reference to The Doors "Bad Moon Risin'....!" So I finished New Moon, and wow. Stephanie Meyer has a way of keeping me glued to my seat. I love how this story revealed a whole new perspective on the love story & showed a world outside of the main characters. I won't reveal to much in case your itching to read it.



Besides being completely enthralled with New Moon, I woke up and had a crunchy peanut bar & some coffee with pumpkin spice creamer, YUMMM.

Lately, I've kind of been obsessed with the show "Biggest Loser" , but the ONE THING that annoys me about it is the little "promotions" of stuff during the show. For instance, the trainer says to the guy," Want to curb your appetite? Chew this Extra mint gum."I may be naive to think that the producers think NO ONE would catch on to this. Whatev. At least the contestants are losing weight and not jumping through cut outs or proving they're smarter than a 5th grader.

My sister and I trekked to the gym around 5:30 and I finished the 1st chapter of Eclipse on the elliptical (say that 3 times fast) for 40 mins. I did some ab work, leg work and MANY CRUNCHES. Ever since pilates I hav been focusing a lot on abs. I feel once they are solid my strong core will help me achieve more.

This week seems pretty low key right now. If you're wondering where my 9-5er job is, well I am hired at 2 companies right now, one shooting weddings (wedding season is not in full swing) and the other shooting the Sugar Bowl (see previous post) which isn't till Dec. 30th and I'm HOPING to work their after the trip. I also am waiting for a callback from a film production company in January. So yeah. That's why my high level of "low-keyness" is in affect this month.

For Lunch/Dinner: I had:

Cous Cous with flax and hot sauce (yeah I'm weird)
Boca Vegetable Burger with Relish & ketchup
2 choc chip balls my mom made for her cookie swap (damn you cookie swap)

Dana (my sis) & I will be going to spinning at 7am then food shopping.

This week will be fun. My friend Amanda's bday is Thursday and we have a festive weekend including sushi & Atlantic City. THEN I'm going up North for a Christmas with my Mom's side of the family (Going out with my Cousins as well).

PHEW!

Now all I need is an Edward like man to come sweep me off my feet....and then my week will be complete.

Pilates Power Circle

Happy Saturday!

It's absolutely gorgeous out here today. A little chilly. I went to Pilates Mat for an hour and the teacher taught us how to use the Pilates Ring (circle). I must say my abs have never felt so strong. The older ladies in the class were grunting up a storm (I was too at some parts). It's funny how when you start going to varied classes you learn what style teaching you like. The pilates circle ignites your abs the whole time so you are forced to use your core for everything! I loved the class and left feeling very strong and centered.

I headed up to meet my two girlfriends for breakfast and had an egg sandwich with a small portion of hash browns. It was nice catching up with my one friend I haven't seen in a while!

Today I'm planning on getting allllll my laundry done (nothing exciting at all), and vegging. My back muscles are soooo sore.

My mood shifted last night after going out with my one friend to Fridays for a drink. I think I just needed like-minded company and a few laughs to cheer up.

New Moon is totally going crazy right now so I'll probably finish it by Monday. Whoohooo! I NEED to start reading my library books.

Fitness wise I'm starting to feel stronger and more flexible thanks to pilates and spinning. I am so glad to have the ability to go to the gym everyday!

Have a great day everyone!

Melancholy

I don't know what it is about today, but I'm feeling really blah. I think when I get in these modes it usually means I am lacking excitement or newness. I am getting in the grove of the gym but, I don't know. I was looking at pictures of my friends out in CO and I got really sad.... I love my friends here, but I miss Fort Collins. AND HGTV's House Hunters was in Foco last night. Like what? I feel like I NEED to start working and this waiting business is getting old. Money is running out......For those who don't know, I have been in talks with a production company about possibly starting in a position in January if all goes well. BUT still there is a slight possibility it may not. I'm also hoping a possible job pans out from my freelance work in New Orleans. I feel like something is missing though. Also, it could have to do with the fact that I had a dream last night about my ex-boyfriend, who has been popping up in my dreams alot. Bottom line is, I know I don't want to be with him, but he was my only "love". Wow, I need to lay down and have a psychologist talk me through all of this.

Something I watched yesterday DID strike me as true. Kristin Davis (Charlotte from SATC) was on Oprah and was saying how her 20's were miserable. Now, I don't think my 20's are anywhere near miserable. Then Sarah Jessica Parker chimed in and said how to much emphasis in her generation was put on having it all together by age 25, when she said she should've been focusing on new experiences, discoveries and traveling. She feels the set-backs and let-downs that come along with being 20 are nessessary to develop. I guess what she was saying is you won't understand everything until the confusion has passed by....

Some of my friends are focusing on their significant others, others jobs and some just having fun. I'm not sure where I want my focus to be right now.... I am just ready for something challenging to take hold of me, because I'm a restless soul and I need some stirring!

Thanks for listening.... Happy Friday!

P.S. The gym was nice, I did
30 on Elliptical (Level 6 & 7)
biceps, shoulder, tricep machine (3 reps of 12 on each)
leg lifts with 4 pound weight (60)
other random stuff

Haulin' Oats

Do any of you remember the song "Rich Girl" by Haulin' Oats? So catchy! After all the heavy lifting I've been doing this morning I figured Haulin' & Oats would be an appropriate post name. I woke up and took the trash out, brought it back (it's about a quarter mile walk to the street), then moved all the X'mas boxes to the basement, set up the nativity scene and phew! I'm done. I made a bowl of steel cut oats I had from a couple of days ago:
They included:
1 cup steel cut oats
splash of skim milk
2 tblsp. flax seeds
tblsp of crushed pecans
drizzle of honey
tblsp of strawberry jam & crunchy peanut butter

I call these oats peanut butter and jelly and then some. The PB&J always does the trick and I always try to add at least one type of nut. Yummmmmmm.

I also had my routine 1st cup of coffee (there will be many more!)
Here are pictures of my Christmas tree (we cut it down and it had pinecones and grapevine on it!) & Nativity scene my grandmother handmade! It's so beautiful esp. when it snows outside behind it, (which is rare in NJ on Christmas):

The Benihana VIP dinner was A-mazing! Clearly with hibachi you can't go wrong! My sister and I split the Saki sampler (I like saki a lot!) and split a California sushi roll. THEN we got a shrimp appetizer, soup, salad , veggies, rice and our shrimp hibachi! It was delicious. My two good friends work there and I am hoping maybe to get a part time job hostessing until my prospective 2 job leads come through!

I find with December rolling right around I don't have the same EXCITEMENT I usually had in the past years when I would come home from school or Colorado. But, It feels nice to be home and not have to worry about traveling during the season.

I'll be flying out to New Orleans over New Years for a freelance position shooting the Sugar Bowl half-time show, so I'm preparing for that. If only I had a lap-top to document my trip!

Okay, this post is way to long. Gym in 2 then who knows??

Maybe finishing New Moon, (it just got really good!)

Happy Friday!

Venison Menison

So I offered to make my Dad a minestrone soup (with venison) and little did I know how friggin' time consuming it was cutting the meat. It must've taken me 3 hour to cut the 5 pounds of meat. I was dying. As it turns out though the soup was delicious! I would make it again as a vegetarian soup because the flavor is there! Here's my recipe (I quadrupled it though):

Ingredients1 lb. venison steaks or 1 lb. beef roast
Olive oil
1/4 cup hot water
salt & pepper
1 med. onion, chopped
1 cup frozen lima beans
2 cup celery, chopped
4 cloves garlic
4 cups beef broth1 (15 oz.)
can great northern beans, drained1 (14 oz.)
can diced tomatoes
1 small bag of julienned carrots
1 tbls dried parsley
1-1/2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp salt1 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried thyme
2 cups hot water
2 cups frozen corn
1/2 cup egg noodle pasta
cup of flour

In a skillet, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil. Add the venison doused in flour and brown on all sides. Add 1/4 cup of hot water, salt and pepper. Cook over very low heat for 20-30 minutes or until the steaks are cooked through and very tender. Allow to cool. Set aside.

In a skillet heat a few tablespoons of olive oil. Add the onions, carrots, celery and garlic. Saute until the onions are translucent. Add the beef broth, beans, tomatoes, carrots and spices. Bring to a boil. Add the venison, 2 cups of hot water, frozen veggies and pasta (if desired). Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the pasta is cooked.

Without cutting the meat it would've taken me a half an hour. My Dad LOOOVED it. He had been working outside and he said it warmed his bones. If you have a venison lover this is a great hearty soup!

--- Well, besides the soup, Zumba was amazing! She even played my favorite spanish song "Volare". I ate a peanut butter crunch bar today than had a small bown of soup because....

Tonight is VIP Benihana! My best friend Kim is working there and got me my sister tickets to a VIP tasting of all the food for free! So yeah, I will be having sushi and prob. a seafood hibachi meal tonight, hence the small amount of food today.

All in all it was a day of learning experiences and fun. Off to Benihana.

Zumba Oh!

Off to Zumba, which for those of you who don't know a latin infused dance class at the gym. It's warm out but raining yuck. Then I will tackle making minestrone soup so we'll see how it goes!

Rain, Cous Cous & Sweet Potatoes

Today was a "rest" day as I call it for the gym. Since starting to work out again a week ago my body has been like, "woah, what's going on here?"I figure I can't push too hard right away being that my muscles are screaming inside. Tomorrow morning is class time and cardio. I've been working out every other day for about an hour and a half to 2. I had to do some Christmas shopping anyway so I spent all afternoon at the mall.

5:30 rolled around and I realized I had only eaten a peanut butter crunch bar at 2. So my sister and I made a dinner of

• Cous Cous - Basil & Garlic - I had one cup
• Sweet Potatoes w/ a homemade maple syrup dip (I had about a half a cup)
• 1 small slice of Cecil Pizza with Peppers on top
  

I feel that I was so excited beginning the blog this morning I forgot to eat breakfast! Coffee was it. See, this blog will help remind me to space out my meals from now on.

It's nasty outside tonight so instead of going with my friend to Atlantic City (she has a room down there with some friends) I'm gong to curl up and watch Top Chef, my favorite show.

My Story

So this is the beginning of my (next) journey. It's safe to say I am a little nervous and a lot excited. I had been reading all my favorite healthy living blogs for a while and got inspired to write my own. Now, a lot of the blogs I had been reading are seasoned healthy conscious people so my blog deters from that slightly. I have been going to the gym on and off since 14, but as you know college/boyfriends/life happened and I've strayed from the healthy girl I once was. My struggle has always been balance. To remain happy while indulging and enjoying life AND remaining healthy! Here's my fitness/healthy time line (I'll begin right before college (2003) (obviously my thinnest):(Front in white)
Freshman year I was looking not so bad, BUT getting to college was FREEDOM! No more boyfriend (we ended our relationship a year prior to this), no more parents and A LOT more drinking and eating!! I would order out 3 nights out of the week and drink 4 of those nights. I remember not caring how unhealthy I was because I was having fun.
(In the front in orange)
Sophomore year (2004/2005) everything changed. I got in trouble for drinking and had to pay a hefty fine. It was a wakeup call for me and also the beginning of my downward spiral. I became obsessive with school, working out and also dated a guy and we broke up. I was stressed and felt alone. I only had one good friend and my other roommates turned against me for various reasons (they had friends that I did not like, we were on different paths, had different goals, drama...drama). I lost 35 pounds the UNHEALTHY way by barely eating anything good and working out to exhaustion. I would eat but I feel the stress contributed to my crazy weight loss. I was sad and that was the bottom line.
That summer I had never looked so good. My sadness slowly went away because I was surrounded by good friends, fun atmospheres and became my fun-loving self again. I gained 15 pounds, but still was happy.

Junior & Senior years my weight was up, but this was the time of my life. I did well in school, had great friends and starting figuring out who I was (and I was single (FREEDOM). My weight was not my priority, and I was busy. I interned and was graduating and did not kept track of it. I was my heaviest (Second from left in brown shirt)

~~~~~ I GRADUATE (Spring 2007) and decide it's time for something crazy. HELLO COLORADO!!!"

I moved to Colorado because I always wanted to live there and began working and became my own. I biked everywhere, went to the gym almost everyday and got really into yoga. I was so flexible and my mind, body and soul for once was all in tune with each other. I finally was happy and felt fit.

....Unfortunately I was surrounded by delicious cafe's, breweries, restaurants etc.. so occasionally I would indulge, sometimes too occasionally! I was in a good place, loved my job, house and atmosphere, but still wanted to lose about 30lbs.
I ended up losing about 10 pounds the right way. (on the left)

Speed up to this summer. I got offered a VERY unconventional job working at Shambhala Mountain Center in the mountains of Northern Colorado. I took it and moved into a tent and got to take part in daily meditations, yoga, classes and live in the beauty of the mountains. At the center they prepared every meal for you, all organic all healthy and I had a balanced diet AND was walking at least 8 miles everyday throughout the center. I lost 15 pounds and was not drinking, watching TV etc.. It felt GREAT! I was really into meditating and working on getting centered. It was a once in a lifetime experience and has made me appreciate so much more.
I attended my best friend's wedding in July and had an epiphany. I missed my family and friends. I was homesick. I was sick of the new. The summer job came to an end and I was at a loss as to what to do. My job beforehand was not paying me enough and I had dreams to see so many more places all over the country and world in my future. All through Colorado I was working soooo much and could not enjoy it. I wanted to come back there someday and get to live my life when I could live comfortably.

So.........I packed up my mountain life and traded it for the comforts of my hometown in NJ! (Parents house to be more exact). Since being home I have been indulging a lot in food and drinks! I DID backpack with my Dad and sister and lost probably like 5 pounds.(August 2008)

My sister lives at home and goes to college so I knew I have a companion, AND my good friends still live close.
Since being home, I have maintained my weight, but had not been working out due to no funds and no gym membership. Recently, my mom graciously got me a year's membership to an amazing gym nearby and I've been going almost everyday ever since. In recent picture I notice I look bigger than I did in the summer and am motivated to get down to a healthier weight. My sister is a great motivator being that she has lost sooo much weight over the year.October 2008 - Lara Croft Tomb Raider-)
So here I am. PHEW! I am currently job hunting, have a couple projects going and may begin work at a production company in January (all things permitting). It's been a crazy couple of years and I am back where I started at home. It has literally been a journey of ups and down, highs and lows and I feel being at home I have the time and energy to lose this weight and eat healthier.

Looking through all the pictures ends so many mixed emotions and feelings through me and also makes me proud of what I have accomplished in the last 5 years.December 2008 (Getting the Christmas Tree)

I hope this next journey proves just as fulfilling as my past ones, and the path to a better me helps me grow even more:)

Thanks for reading,
Erin


Update - March 2009 - Lost 5 more pounds:) Second from right @ my friend's bachelorette party:
