**for my second September 1, 2010 entry**
the -BER months are here! and before you know it its’ going to be Christmas again! weeeee! BUSY days at BBook & BBabies are fast approaching! go go go! or as mdm Lau would say it, Vamos!
today’s breakfast: oatmeal w/ apples & cinnamon plus cheese & egg (whites) sandwich plus banana. i know, what a heavy breakfast. haha! sige nalang.. give chance. gi gutom ko!
heavy wednesday breakfast
for the entire day today i just stayed at the BBabies studio. it was quite a slow day so i busied myself with admin duties. i did get to accomplish a lot work-wise today. so i think its a good sign of my work mojo coming back. 🙂
for lunch i had my usual salad but this time with mandarin oranges. i’ve been trying to look for ways to make my salad more interesting. but today i realized that feta cheese and mandarin oranges don’t really go well together. haha!
Wednesday's salad lunch
later in the day i decided to head down to the supermarket again because there were a few things that i needed. i took photos of my purchases but first let me continue with the food photos.
for dinner which i took in the car en route to the gym, i had a turkey ham, egg (whites) and cheese sandwich with Silk Soya Milk in Vanilla and some Baked Classic Lay’s potato chips (which i got from the supermarket).
Wednesday's dinner!
my gym session today went great until i reached the last part. here’s what i did:
3 minutes circling (1 min interval)
stretch
15 minutes bike
3 rounds 2 minutes shadow boxing
2 rounds 3 minutes punch mitts
3 rounds 2 minutes punching bag
3 rounds circuit weight & abs training – this was such a killer! this included 12 different exercises that i did consecutively with about 12 to 15 reps and 2 lbs or 5 lbs weights plus push ups, dips, crunches. by the time i finished 3 sets of this i was so incredibly tired that i couldn’t continue w/ my 30-minute bike anymore. 😦 di na kaya promise!!!
when i got home i helped myself to my post-workout grub. Silk Soy Milk in Vanilla, Quaker Oats Apple Cinnamon Cookies and a banana.
Wednesday's after gym meal
and since i wanted to blog about my supermarket purchases today, i did some picture taking. here are today’s healthy options all bought from Robinson’s Supermarket in BTC:
1.) my gorgeous Envirosax eco-friendly bag filled with all my goodies. say no to plastic! 🙂 i want to get 1 more of this! the designs are so pretty!
what's in the bag?
2.) Group shot of all my purchases
healthy options
so there’s grapes, wheat bread fr Postrio, baked Lay’s Potato Chips, Quaker Oats Granola Bars, wheat buns fr Postrio, Dole diced peaches (for my oatmeal), Silk Soy Milk in Vanilla, Tuna Burger Patties and Sky Flakes FIT Crackers.
i’m going to high light a few of my more interesting buys in the next few photos.
3.) Lay’s Baked Classic Potato Chips
healthier than the regular one
lately i’ve been loving the taste of potato chips paired with my sandwiches. i’ve never been one to crave junk food. i’ve always been more of a sweets person than a junk food person. so i don’t know why i’m getting attracted to these. last week it was Kettle Chips now it’s Lay’s! i grabbed this the moment i saw the word BAKED. i guess anything baked should be healthier? i had a small handful of these together w/ my turkey ham sandwich and it was sooooooooo lami! 😀 i promise not to eat this alone for the sake of just eating. i will always use this as a siding to my sandwiches.
4.) Silk Soy Milk
got milk?
i was so happy to see this in the supermarket! 😀 both Starbucks and Coffee Cat have this and i’ve promised to myself to make this my healthy option whenever i’m having coffee w/ friends there. and you know how much only sa Robinson’s? P44.25 whereas it’s P80 at those expensive cafes! weeeee! i’ll be sure to buy more of this next week! i’ve already consumed the 2 tetra packs that i got. haha! excited kaayo ko to drink it. this is my first time to have the Vanilla flavor. i actually like it better than the Chocolate variant because i can taste the Soy more.
5.) Tuna Burger Patties
a different kind of tuna
i was so inspired by PBFingers post on Salmon burgers (read here) that i got so excited to make my own healthy burger. the old Mickie only knew of McDonald’s Double Cheeseburger w/ Large French Fries plus Large Coke but now that i’m trying to live healthier, i’ll try to make this one tomorrow. i couldn’t find a Salmon burger patty same as PBFingers’ but i guess this will do. besides, salmon is mega expensive-o! mau ra ni akong ma afford noh! the packaging says 0 Trans Fat, No MSG, and rich in Omega 3. i guess these make this Tuna Burger Patty a good healthy option. 🙂
so that’s all for today’s supermarket purchases. sometimes i don’t like to open PBFingers blog anymore because i know i’ll find another recipe i’ll want to try then i’ll think i’ll NEED to go to the supermarket again. haha! mau ka michellego! :p
oh, i also kept 2 of my purchases in my drawer and not in the kitchen pantry where all the food should be. this morning i caught my brother innocently eating my Quaker Oats Granola Bar and i wanted to strangle him. excuse me!!! that’s my food! wa nala’y kwenta akong healthy eating ani if you eat everything that i buy! gaaaaaaaah! so my Lay’s and granola bars are safely hidden in my desk drawer here in my room. selfish much?! hahah!
hide and seek!
whew! finally done with my 3-day backlog. tomorrow’s a new day! looking forward to jazz class and a little get together w/ some high school friends to celebrate our friend Princess’ passing in the medical board exam. yay! Congrats Ces! 😀
p.s. i hope this Jackson 5 CD collection will reach Philippine shores. i’ll be sure to get my hands on it. the buying of Michael Jackson stuff just never stops for me!
must have this!
i love you Michael Jackson!
Happy Thursday everyone! the weekend is almost here. yeaaaaaaahhh!!!
