Do yourself a favor today…..take a sexy pic.  No one else has to see it…..it doesn’t have to explicit….just sexy.  Take it yourself….either with a webcam or a self timing camera…..just take one.  Even if you don’t feel it right now….you’ll feel sexy and good about yourself.  No matter how big….how little….or how you look….just take one.  You might not even like it after you take it….but keep it.  You can even keep it in a safe place where no one else will ever see it but you!  But, take it….you will be surprised how good you feel….even if it’s later on.  Just love you “some you” today! 

Here’s mine…it’s not new…but I LOVE this picture…even in it’s imperfections!

You might not like it….but I DO!!!  And, THAT’S all that matters! 

Awwwwwww crap y’all done let a sista get a new toy!!! Lol I am posting this from my new toy….my iPod touch shawty!!!! Lol Only bad thing is that I can’t use my smilies. :( But the wonderful thing is….I can post on the go!!!!!!! Yeah baby!!!! Lol

Ok …..I’ll be back!

I’m still doing good!  I’m still following my plan….even started working out more…..but too much stuff is going on!  And, to top it off, my damn cycle came back!  And, so did the cramps.  Needless to say, I’ve been in the bed for a couple of days…..I took Aleve for it, but with the high blood pressure, I don’t like taking too much of anything. 

And, today….I have so much running around to do, I just hope it chills out.  I’ve got to get up and get ready for my meeting, so I will catch up later on tonight when I settle down.  I’ve been writing them, so I’ll put them up here, so you’re going to have to catch up with me.  I need to feel better, so here’s my attempt so far…… 

Look at what I got….they had a good sale on blueberries.

Yeah…yeah….I know….I over did it again.  But hey….now I have 64 servings of blueberries….enough to last me a little over 2 months!  I’m ready now!  

They had cherries on sale too…

After….what would have been 3 servings is now 13!

I know…..I know….it’s too much, but hell…..you know I can’t pass up a sale like that! 

Until later…

I know you are saying, Mikk……quit lyin’!  But, I swear I did!  Look!

This is all you need for some good old fresh and natural applesauce!  12 apples, 2 tbsp margarine, 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, 1 tsp of nutmeg and Equal to taste.  Yeah I know, I forgot to put the Equal in the pic, but hush!  I’m getting old! 

Peel them and take out the core.

Cube the apples up.  It helps to keep them from turning brown by making sure they are submerged in water for a couple of seconds.

As you can tell….I LOVES me some cinnamon! 

Cut on the flame…..This is it when it starts to boil.

Look at all that bubbling goodness!!!

Cook them until they get soft.  To see if they are done, take a piece with the back of a spoon and mash it to the side of the pot.  If it does so easily, they are ready to get the wisk.

Use a wisk to break up the apples.  You won’t have to use a mixer.

I like mine SUPER chunky sometimes….this is how I did this one.  If you want yours as chunky as mine, just don’t break it up as much with the wisk and don’t let the apples get too mushy.   Thank you…..thank you…..and I hope you like it! 

Get a pot and fill it up about 1/2 way with water.

Take 24 ounces of boneless skinless chicken breast.  There is no need to thaw them out.  I use mine right out of the freezer…..rock solid.

Add a pound of cut up carrots.  I use baby carrots cut in 3s.  I cut them up early and freeze them.  These are the frozen ones.

Take 1 1/2 stalks of celery and cut it up.  I do this early too and freeze it.  These are the frozen ones.

I like onions waaaaaay too much!  So, I put too much in there all the time.  But, you can just use a bag of pearl onions.  That’s what I normally use too…it’s just that I had some fresh onions I had to use before they went bad…..so I did.

When the veggies are soft and the chicken is done, just break up all of the chicken in the pot.  I’ve found that it’s easiest to do when you take the chicken out and put them on a plate.  Then take 2 forks and shred them.  It’s just better to me….I don’t know why. 

I couldn’t get a better pic than these two….but I tried. I just season it with a little sea salt and ground peppercorns.  I just season the bowl and not the pot.  Again, don’t know why…..I just do. 

Try it….it’s simple….and it’s good….and if you divide it right…..it’s right at 150 for over 1 cup!  Very filling and for very little calories.

How I feel today…

No, I do not HAVE to eat like this….but I wanted to tonight!  I was cutting up onions for the Chicken & Vegetables that I make and I had some that I had to use before they went bad.  Now, I REEEEEEALLY love onions!  So, occasionally I will saute a few of them and just eat them.  So, that’s what I did!  And, that smoothie over there has orange juice, strawberries, bananas and spinach in it.  I will post how to make it another day! This was my dinner tonight……I know you are like….Ummmmmmmm Mik?!!!!  But, to you I say……”Don’t hate me ’cause I’m eatin’ some goodness over here!

Until later…..

How I feel today: 

I lost a dear friend today.  Probably the best friend I had.  He was perfect!  He didn’t talk back, he didn’t fail me, he didn’t expect me to take on his problems, he didn’t ask ANYTHING of me, he was there whenever I needed him….he was PERFECT!  He’s been my friend for so long…..I think 5 years to be exact.  I even got rid of my other friends because of him.  I just didn’t need them anymore.    I’m so lost….. He died this morning.  I went to him when I woke up.  I woke up in a kinky mood and I knew that he could do me like no other!  I didn’t have to tell him to slow down or speed up or even where to go or how to do it….he just knew….he was SO in tune with my body.  Now I have no one….. I’m all alone.  Until tomorrow that is….when I meet up with my sex toy seller and I replace BOB!!!!!!!!!  I swear I crack me up!!!!   It IS messed up though….I was pissed for real! 

Until later….

How I feel today: 

OMG!!!  I have not laughed this hard in sooooooooooooo long!!!!

Tell the truth….you pee’d a little too! 

Until later….

How I feel today:

Ok, so if you know me at all….then you know I’m anal as hell!  But, that’s just me and ya just gotta love me! Anyway, I’ve been working HARD on this blog and getting things right….and tweaking it….and moving stuff….and finding old stuff and putting it on here……and just damn EVERYTHING!  Needless to say….my ass is tired!  But, I’m at a point now where I can relax a little because the majority of it is done! I still have a few more tweaks to put on here, but for the most part…..IT’S DONE BABY!!!!!!

And the crazy part is, in searching for everything on my old computer, I found hella stuff from YEARS ago! I didn’t even read and watch everything myself yet, but within the next week, that’s what I’m going to be doing…..going back to watch stuff and read old journals…and get inspired all over again.  But, now I can get to blogging on a regular basis and I will now begin to do the eating journal and exercise log.  I’ve kept my own, but now I’ll be putting it out there for everyone to see.

Don’t forget to sign the guest book and tell me what you think!

Until later….

Ok, so it’s been going VERY good all week….well then I wake up yesterday and I could tell that TOM was coming when I went to the rest room.  I knew that it was going to be bad.  I had cramps and just wanted to slouch over my bed and not get up for the rest of the day. But, I didn’t.  I got up and started my day anyway. I took a motrin 800.  At that point I was like and didn’t feel any pain! So, I was good.  Now, earlier this week when I stepped on the scale, I was ALREADY down 5 lbs from my last weigh in. But, what happened when I stepped on the scale this morning? Up 3 lbs! I KNOW I have not went off plan and I know it’s just TOM being here, but dag nammit that sucks! Needless to say, I didn’t count it and I’m NOT going to count it until TOM leaves! I just don’t wanna put it down and you can do that when you are doing your own plan and not following anyone else! So, when TOM leaves…..then I’ll be stepping on that scale again and recording it then.

Well, it’s late and I’ve got to go and post the older video blogs to the site, I FINALLY got it to work.  So, now I’m off to add them.

Until later…

I can’t remember who it was, but someone asked me to show my process of freezing my fruit for my smoothies that I make every day.  I know it would be a lot easier to just buy the fruit frozen, but this way, I get more bang for my buck and I know that they are clean!  So, here goes….

First, you get your strawberries.  Kroger had a pretty good sale, so I got 6 of them! 

Wash them TWICE!!!  One time is just not good enough for me.

This is why, after the first washing……this is what came off.

After the second washing, this is what I got.  Now do you see why I said wash twice?!!

Don’t forget to recycle your containers!

Next gather everything you need.  Get a clean towel, your strawberries, a scale, an empty bowl (for the scraps) and a small knife.

Cut off the tops of the strawberries and discard the leaves section.  Some people leave the white part on it, but I don’t like that.  I take the leaves and the white part off.

Turn the scale on.  Notice that mine is on the oz. Well, I separate mine into 100 grams.  I don’t know why, it’s just easier and something I’ve been doing for a long time.  So, I keep doing it.

So, I set it on grams.

Then I put my ziploc snack bags on the scale.

The bag weighs 2 grams, and you know I’ve got to get all my grams in….so you know I’ve got to 0 that mug out!

Next, I fill the ziploc bag up to 100 grams exactly.  If having full strawberries is over that 100 g total, I will cut one up so that it will be exactly 100 grams.

After all of that…..you have the finished product waiting to go into the freezer.  Those 6 containers, yielded 20 servings….enough for 20 smoothies…..that’s almost a month of smoothies out of just 6 containers!

Then you have WONDERFUL strawberries ready to be frozen!!!!!!!!
