June 16/17- Hang with New Friends/Go to New Restaurant

I hung out with new friends, who I won’t name on here to protect privacy. On Wednesday we were at FSU Wesley and got to talking, which turned into a trip to Yogurt Mountain for froyo.

Then we made plans to try Latin Xpress Cafe – this little latin restaurant in the same shopping center as Planned Parenthood and a US Marine Corp office… bound to be a winner.

If you check out their website and menu, it’s pretty simple stuff. I ordered the Pollo Asada Lunch, which came with yellow rice, black beans, and maduros. It was delicious! Like I’m not sure if I’ll RUSH back but it was really authentic! I’ll probably have to go back on a Wednesday when I get a free drink and side item :)

annndddd my computer’s going to die. sorry for the lame post!

June 15- John Daly

I don’t have a picture, but this is a drink and it’s yummy. Let’s try this…

Sweet Tea = Good
Lemonade = Good

Sweet Tea + Lemonade = Arnold Palmer = Very Good

Alcohol = Good (Usually)

Arnold Palmer + Alcohol = John Daly = DELISH.

andddd I just went to google a picture of “John Daly” and this is what I got…

so there’s that. Apparently the drink is named after this Golf Player with a track record. yum.

now I feel weird that this guy is on my blog…

June 14- GTS Total Body Fitness Class

I’ve been trying to take advantage of my school’s gym because I realize I will not have anything like it when I graduate in December. (Yes…I know I’m a little behind in the “Shape Up for Summer” game) One of the classes that actually fits into my schedule is this one entitled: GTS Total Body. The description is this:

This 45-minute class features the award winning Gravity Training System for a total body resistance workout. The GTS tower provides eight levels of resistance to challenge both the beginner and advanced user while they work against gravity. Come and try the hottest new piece of fitness equipment in the industry!"

Okay… I’m not strong. Like I’m not a weak girl but this class kicked my ass, arms, legs, etc. But I loved it? I’m sure I’ll be sore tomorrow, and I’m sure there are harder work outs out there, but this was nice because you’re constantly changing around the contraption (shown above) which definitely made my ADD happy. Some classes get so boring. Also, the instructor plays good music.

I’m sure I’ll be back next week. How else am I going to transform into Jillian Michaels? (don’t answer that.)

June 13- Arctic Zero

In a perfect world, this pint of ice cream would actually be satisfying for 150 calories. In a perfect world, I would still like the taste of diet foods. In a perfect world, this would taste like a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. In a perfect world, I would also look like Leighton Meester and have her job/wardrobe/fictional love life with Chuck Bass.

Do you see where this is going?

I came home from my catering class ready to eat this whole pint while watching The Voice and the MTV Movie Awards Show I missed weeks ago. Unfortunately, it was gross boring and needed some doctoring. I’m down with getting my creativity on, so I blended it in the Magic Blender with some milk, nutella, and MnMs. Please tell me how something can still taste bad after all that? And how I still ate it anyway.

My fault. I’m an idealist.

June 12- Nasty Protein Powder

I made a smoothie on Sunday because normalllyyyyy I like them. Even if I get crazy with ingredients. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end and now smoothies make me want to vom. All thanks to this:

I almost dug the packet I used out of the trash to photograph but then saved myself. Not worth it.

This was gross and made my tummy hurt. Never again.

June 11- Play Racquetball

I looked just like the guy on the bottle.

Racquetball is so much harder than you think.

June 10- 1 million new things at work

So this is kind of a cop-out as far as “new things” go, but I have worked 40 hours in the last 4 days, so it’s been a little hard to do cRaZy exciting stuff. However, my boss has been teaching me a lot and giving me more responsibility which is always neat. I also had a training one day, where I really didn’t learn anything, but made these which was pretty cool…

Another AWESOME thing I’m trying to do is to get recycling at my work. We go through SO many bottled drinks and everyone just throws them in the trash. I’ve decided to start collecting them and bringing them home with me, since I have recycling. It’s a start I guess.
