P.S. This is what happenes when you turn on the uncensored version of the "Blurred Lines" video. Oh, and don't mind the holes in my brother's socks..... He kept telling me that his foot was watching me....

Organization:
I've been taking some time out of my weekends to do some much needed cleaning and organizing. Stuff has a tendency to just pile up higher and higher and it frustrates me so much because I hate clutter. This weekend I attacked the top of the fridge, our cabinet next to the kitchen, my running gear basket and my jewelry. I also deep cleaned the litter box and got their area all nice and fresh. I didn't take pictures of everything I did but once I was done I felt so much better. I did take a picture of the top of my dresser though:
I was one of those people that had so much jewelry stockpiled and didn't even realize how bad it was or that it was missing pieces. I threw away a lot of single earrings, necklaces that looked as though they had been sitting in dirt for years and stuff that I just didn't really have interest in anymore (and was still kind of icky). Now it looks a lot better and I'm able to find my favoirte pieces easier. I really wish I would have had a before picture to show you. It wasn't pretty. I feel so much better once I de-clutter an area of the apartment. The bathroom closet and countertop was done a previous weekend, I took care of the desk/file cabinet area and now I only have a couple other things I want to do. Yay for cleaning!

Food:
Saturday night we were kidnapped by my wonderful friend Heather and her husband and daughter and we went to eat at Kiku. I got the hibachi scallops but started off my meal with a simple but amazingly delicious salmon sushi roll. Om nom nom.
I didn't eat the best foods this weekend but I also didn't over indluge or snack in between meals. This is still such a HUGE thing for me. I have always been a snacker and it feels wonderful to be able to control that better now. I love it.
Friday night mom made chicken and rice in the crock pot. Since I knew what she was making ahead of time I packed my own salad and had that instead. Saturday we had China Pavillion and mom and I split the lunch portion of shrimp fried rice. It was the perfect amount of food. Then, as you see, Saturday night was hibachi and my scallops were amazing. I couldn't eat them all and shared the deliciousness with the people we went with. That night I also had some champagne and wine with mom, some yummy Pinot Noir and Barefoot Brut.
Sunday I made a big breakfast for everyone: eggs, bacon, tater tots, toast, coffee and OJ. I ate eggs, toast and some tater tots. Lunch was super simple. Mom made a huge pot of ramen (lol) and we ate that. I didn't have very much but it was delicious. For dinner, back at home, I made tilapia, mashed sweet potatoes and spinach.
All in all the weekend wasn't that bad. I got to indulge in the things I wanted in smaller portions and didn't feel guilty about anything.
Today's Menu:
B: English muffin, boca pizza burger with a slice of light cheese and ketchup, coffee
S: Clementines, string cheese
L: 1 slice of thin crust cheese pizza, salad in a jar, strawberries
S: 1/4 c. black beans and 1/2 c. rice
D: Spaghetti with a little sauce and spinach
Activity: 3 mile run/walk
Today starts half marathon training which is why I am having black beans and rice for a snack. I need the energy to burn. I think the weather knew I was starting today too because it is supposed to be 45ยบ or so and all of the snow is gone. Perfect! Andrew is also going with me. I told him that if he did this program with me then I was going to make him run the half. He just gave me a look that suggested I was nuts.
I charged up my Garmin and my bluetooth headphones last night so everything will be ready to go when I get home from work. I'm going to map out a 3 mile loop for us to do just around the apartment so that way we don't have to fight with traffic or crossing any busy intersections.
