Personal Training
Chinese/Japanese feast and Lots of Mail!!
How was everyone’s christmas?? I have been reading some blogs for a little bit and sounds like you all had the PERFECT day! (for those who celebrate) but if you don’t celebrate like ME, then I am sure you had a quiet and relaxing day, filled with chinese food and movies! (or at least thats what I did!)
Thursday Morning Breakfast
1/3 C oatbran, blueberries, raspberries, 1/2 banana, truvia cinnamon, chia
We spent the night at Jason’s parents house. It was a great night, we went out to dinner with a few other couples (sorry no pics!) and slept over. The next morning Jason helped his dad out and did some manly work
He also decided to snowblow the porch and asked me for help taking down the snowblower off the porch. He had a brilliant idea of using a plastic table as a ‘ramp’ and asked me to stand at the bottom, making sure it didn’t slip. Well as soon as the snow blower started going down the ramp, the weight of the machine was too heavy for him to control and BAM, right into me. Thankfully the machine wasn’t on, but it did hit me right in the shin and I fell hard backwards on the ground, bruising my leg and also twisting my wrist a bit because of the impact on the ground. It was NOT a fun experience. My wrist and shin still hurt a bit, but nothing serious….This is why I stay away from big toys!
When we got home, I went ot the gym for a quickie workout. It was open until 5, so I made it just in time! I did 3 miles on the treadmill and some random weight circuts, ended with some ab work and called it a day!
Post workout treat! Chobani, frozen berries, Better n’ PB, Natures Path Optimum Slim.
I received my Musselman’s Applesauce package that I won!
Raspberry Acai was up first!

LOVED it! So tasty, nothing like regular applesauce. This would be great on oats!
I also received this fabulous holiday card from miss Meals and moves herself, Janetha B. Thank you girl!
And my Secret Santa gift!! IT was from Raspberryrunner!! LOVED IT!
Fair trade coffee, Organic chocolate mint bar and Gluten free granola!
Can’t wait to brew this up
With a square of this
And some of this sprinkled on yogurt. This granola was amazing! Not too sweet and had huge clusters which are my favorite part. There were lots of sunflower seeds and dried fruit. THANK YOU GIRL!
Thursday Night
Chinese/thai take out
Fresh spring rolls. These were just OK, I have ordered them before from another place and they were MUCH better. They were basically just filled with noodles and 1 piece of lettuce.
Kept it healthy! Steamed chicken and veggies with brown rice
J got Spicy kung pow chicken. I loved the peanuts in here but this dish was muy caliente para mi!
we ate our romantic chinese take out by the fire
I made a side salad and used this balsamic vinegar. This is the most amazing vinegar I have ever had in my LIFE. It is by Ariston and it is worth every $7.99 penny! It is sweet and syrupy and magical.
Ended the night by making some brownies for the boy. I was stuffed so I didn’t have any but they smelled mighty tasty!
Japense night 2
Last night we went out for Japenese. We were going to go for chinese again but were just chinesed out!
Started with green tea. REALLY GREEN
garden salad with miso dressing that came with our entree
Perfectly cooked edamame
Chicken and shrimp teriyake in a sweet and savory sauce.
SUSHI! We got spicy tuna rolls, cucumber and avo rolls and a special ‘celtics maki’ My fav was the spicy tuna!
——–
Today
Started off with some protein oats
1/3 C oatbran, 1/2 banana, chia, 2 eggwhites fluffed in there
Final product with some berries and cinnamon. OMG amazing.
Why not have a shot in the morning? (this would be Peanut butter of course, not a real shot!) I see nothing wrong with this.

———
This was the perfect lunch! I am now off to meet my friend for some shopping. Jason is in NY for the night visiting some amigos and I am going out on the town tonight with my 2 best friends from HS. I am super excited!
- How was your xmas??
- If you didn’t celebrate, how did you spend your day yesterday?
- If you drink alcohol, what is your favorite shot? if you don’t drink alcohol what is your favorite drink?
- Are you sad like me that we had to miss a week of the Jersey Shore?
eats look great! love sushi!
i had some chinese food too – made a video of my chinese-american xmas on my blog. happy holidays to you!
Christmas like a true jew! If I was in Bmore it woulda been the same. I did a Portuguese Christmas here. I couldn’t quite figure out how to say Hanukkah in Portuguese so I stuck with natal which is Christmas.
My fave shot is a kamikaze! Ok, I have on occasion also done tequila shots, but only with Patron silver!
Glad you had a nice time with your Asian cuisine. I hope your leg/foot gets better soon.
lol love the jersey pic at the bottom!! I am jelous of your asian eats.. i need more of that in my life
-christmas was ballinnn!
-dont drink.. BUT i have tried diet orange crush and vanilla vodka before and it was really yummy
-I am becoming obsessed w.. jersey shore!
Hey girl! Your eats look amazing!! I like too many drinks to name but what we are currently loving is diet coke with wild cherry rum…YUM!
Haha, I am not crying over Jersey Shore in the least.
Christmas was awesome! The mad rush to exchange gifts a little more hectic haha
They have played Adam Sandler’s Hannukah song on Mix 104.1 so many times! Good thing that never gets old 🙂
I love how we all got such neat “foodie” gifts, like chocolates and granola and cool gadgets!! Only foodies would like that kind of gift 🙂
I used to date someone who was Jewish and we went to Chinese on Christmas, and the movies. I liked it!! It was always a lot of fun, and so different from what I normally did, obviously.
Glad oyu enjoyed your day, and didn’t die from the run-away snow blower! Scary.
Have a great weekend!
Theo’s from Seattle – Hollah!
scary about the snow blower! good thing you didn’t get hurt too badly and the machine wasn’t on. mmm raspberry acai applesauce? sounds good! bummer about the spring rolls, how skimpy!
what kind of shot is that?
im not a ahuge shot taker.. but alcohol, love me my rum, whiskey, and scotch!
I have yet to watch Jersey shore.. supposidly there is a lot of drama .
those spiced chick peas look zee bomb
You are so lucky the snow blower wasn’t on!
Love all your eats – but I cannot support you on the Jersey Shore show – they just seem like the most stuck up kids in the world – but then again, I am twice their age! 😀
The sushi looks great; I love spicy tuna rolls!
I have never seen Jersey Shores, but I’ve been reading so much about the show that I have to check it out. (In fact, I tried to catch the first episode on Hulu but it’s not available right now…).
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
“1/3 C oatbran, blueberries, raspberries, 1/2 banana, truvia cinnamon, chia”
Ok I am assuming you meant truvia comma, cinnamon comma, chia. Not that there’s actually cinnamon-flavored Truvia on the market??!! I know that is such a super small thing to fixate on. But. I love Truvia. And I love cinn! So the two would be a match made in synthetic stevia heaven 🙂
Ok and now I am actually feeling like such a dunce. I swear, I am the Only blogger who didnt know about the Secret Santa thing and no one can tell me where or how or when this got posted and I would have LOVED to get in on it b/c I love playing Santa. Seriously, I read 50 blogs a day, every day, and never once saw it. Ever. Who organized it?? Clue me in for next year!!!!!!!!
Your gift looks amazing! The Theo I have heard excellent things about.
The 7.99 Vinegar. Cool.
The Snowblower. Very uncool!!!!!! Thank GOD you’re ok!
xoxoxo
SNOOKIE! she always makes me smile. Where’s her duck phone?! 😉
amazing packages you gorgeous though. I love getting mail, it’s so special!
I can’t remember the last time I had japanese/chinese food fair. I used to GO TO TOWN on a container of sweet and sour chicken. Oh my goodness.. so good!
p.s. hope you weren’t too hurt by the snow-blower.. you poor thing!!
Wow sounds like you had quite the weekend!
Love the secret Santa gifts! How didn’t I know about this?!
I just recently got hooked on JS…I’m doomed! haha
OMG that snow!! I am feeling pretty grateful to be in Vegas right now.
BTW, you ordered the exact thing I always get at Chinese restaurants- love it! Have a wonderful day missy!
Its rare if I come across a shot I don’t like. And even if I don’t like it much its over quickly!
I like sweet shots so i like ‘birthday cake’ shots. My new favorite thing is Domaine De Canton. It’s a ginger liquor. yum.
love your blog!
I sure hope you are doing ok, ouchie 🙁 not fun. I had a nice Christmas just spending time with my mom and fam 🙂 mmm I’m craving chinese food now. I just always love your big bowls of oatbran! And I’m so jealous of your awesome workouts, you go girl! I’ve been slacking without gym access and cold rainy days (no excuse) I’m looking forward to a kick butt gym class soon.
hmmm my favorite shot would have to be patrone or chocolate cake 🙂
Jealous of all your packages!!! I think I’ve gotten more packages as a blogger than in my whole life haha. The sushi looks amazing–I could totally go for some right now (yes, 10:30 pm haha).
Yes! First year I didn’t have Chinese on Christmas haha. And I always get the same thing as you 🙂 Love it!
awesome looking food!! I love japanese and chinese food. Im really interested in trying out that balsamic vinegar. Im a huge fan of it on my veggies and it looks great. Can you just buy it anywhere?
My day has been crazy but awesome. Had some friends over for christmas eve, it spilled over into christmas day where we ended up the night by seeing SHerlock Holmes. (Which was entertaining but not the best movie by any means)
My favorite shot is hands down tequila. I cannot turn down a great sipping tequila. Whenever me and my husband go to Mexico we also brings back lots. As for casual drinking I love a good red wine. Those are my two favorites.
Oh I havent even seen Jersey Shore! I gotta catch up. I hope you having one awesome weekend so far. The snow looks too fun!
Mmmm your morning bowl of oats is making my tummy rumble…yum, yum, yum!
My Christmas was great, and it’s not over yet…the celebration continues tomorrow! My favorite drinks are milk and coffee…not together 🙂 and I don’t watch Jersey Shore, but I am a TV junkie, so I know if I started, I would be hooked.
I’m sorry to hear about your accident but glad to hear you are OK!
So Chinese- check! Movies- check! At one point we realized it was dinner time on X-mas and figured we were screwed because almost everything is closed here. Luckily I had ingredients for turkey chili!
My favorite shot is patron with lime! When I was a party girl, I enjoyed the kamikaze shots too!
I have only seen one episode of Jersey Shore- sad, I know!
Have a great day!
looks like a great time with great food!
Hi love!!!!!!!
Looks like alot of fun has been had over at your casa! Christmas over at my house was wonderful! Santa totally treated me well!
I hope you and the girls had a fun time going out! i love having girls night out, always always the best nights!!!!!!! I wish i loved taking shots, but ever since my 21st birthday i can’t do it! lol. I’m a beer girl for sure! hehhee….
Talk to you later love! xoxoxoo
My Christmas was great!
I don’t drink often but I did love Mike’s Hard Lemonades.
I still watched the old episodes LOL! My husband dogs me because I watch this but I made him watch it and now he’s hooked too 🙂
Oh no!! I hope your shin is feeling better today!
Look at all of those goodies! I LOVE that applesauce! So good! On top of oats? Never would have thought of that one!
I’m so glad you liked your package!!! Yogurt is the best way to enjoy granola 🙂
Hey Chica! Dude that workout sounds amazing…802 Calories?!?!?! WOW!
I want Chinese food now lol
and yup I missed Jersey Shore too but I did some fist pumping last night ha
Ah, I sampled that flavor of Theo’s chocolate when we were on our tour! It’s delicious!
Looks like you got some great healthy treats to try 🙂
Girl, you know I’m depressed about missing a day of Jersey Shore!!
I’m glad you’re okay after the accident with the snow blower. Yikes!
Enjoy the weekend!
First off, your breakfasts look amazing! 2nd, I want to try that balsamic vinegar. It’s actually not too pricey. I’ve seen vinegars for over 50 bucks! I have yet to try one of those, but I’m hoping to one day and am also hoping it’s worth every penny.
glad you got the card! sorry i have been MIA this week and am just now getting to commenting 😛 blogger slacker for sure! look at all that snowwww. jealous over here. 805 cals in one workout is epic. how long did that take you? i am mega impressed. loved the garbanzo lunch. and love you!!!!!!!
haha love your romantice date 🙂 all of my jewish friends totally do the chinese/japanese thang during the xmasy holidays!
i love love love the looks of those chickpeas! definitely gonna have to give those a whirly soon enough 🙂
My Christmas was good, went skiing!
Jealous of your Theo chocolate – just reviewed some of their stuff & am going through withdrawals!
Love the Chinese/Japanese eats. Yum!
My fave shot is tequila in theory, however I think I should outlaw myself from taking them 🙂
