The Laziest Post Ever…all food pictures and info!

31 May

So here are a bunch of pictures I took for the blog after vacation, that never quite made it in their own post, but are too good not to share!!!

Chicken Bacon and cheese with breadcrumbs, it was one of those new kraft things where the cheese and breadcrumbs are in the bag with seasonings and bacon and you shake raw chicken in there then bake them! SO good but I only had two chicken breasts so I had to devise a plan for the left overs! Also making an apperance French cut green beans, the best kind! And Julienned potatoes Au Gratin. YUMMMMYYY!!!

With the left over things I made this….

Low Calorie Whole Wheat Mac and cheese. Literally all that is in here is the left over cheese, bacon, crumb mixture, low fat milk and a block of Fat Free Cream cheese, no Flour, no butter! So creamy and great! I had it for lunch the next day, and that was whole wheat pasta BTW.

Last week I also started drinking my protein again. I was too lazy to put it in the blender at 10pm when this picture was taken so it was a bit chunky, thus I chugged it down and went to bed…LIKE A BOSS!

This was last weeks family dinner, I ate A LOT of hamburgers last week!!! This weeks family dinner picture will be inluded into tonights training post, but this is called the laziest post ever, so I havent even uploaded the pictures yet! Oh well.

Finally this….do you love Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cakes, but cannot finish an entire cake?!?!?! Well then meet the DQ cupcake, this thing was still too large for me to even attempt so I spilt it with Dan. More like I ate all that blue whipped cream and most of the chocolate crunchies. What can I say I love the best parts and he is a good sport about it :) .

So I will post an actual interesting training post after I get home from work tonight at 8! Catch you all later!!!!!

Running With Zombies…

30 May

Yes you read that right! I think I mentioned before that I had bought an app called Zombies, Run! for my Iphone. Well I have now played it twice and am hooked! I have been taking my runs outside, or to the treadmill when it isnt super hot out (hello no a/c!) I prefer to only use the app when I am on the treadmill incase I get jumpy with the headphones in my ears or anything. So I have only played twice, once on Friday before the race and tonight. Thank goodness for the rain, it really cooled the house down nicely and let me get my new obsession on!

I love the fact that the app plays your own music while you run and then does little cutscenes with pre-recorded audio in the game. It makes me motivated to run to music I love and also for the songs to end so I can hear more of the story! There are over 40 Missions currently and if you only feel like running for 30 min, but the mission is 40 min you can pause and start back up when you are ready, the next day or whenever! The app is $7.99 but is totally worth it!

You run and while you are running you collect supplies for a town to save it with food, medicine, ammo, etc. While you are out running you can get chased by zombies and have to out run them! I hold the phone in my hand while treadmilling it, because I dont have an arm strap for my phone, only my nano.

After you complete the mission you can delegate the items you collected around your township to help increase your defenses and population.

It is really fun, you are runner 5 and have to run to help save Abel Township. Like I said when you finish your run/mission objectives you can allocate items around town in this screen!

While we all know I am a huge girly girl who loves pink and Hello Kitty, I am also a super nerd who loves video games and Zombies, (Hello Walking Dead anyone)!!!! Plus I am way to scared to ever do that run where the people dressed as Zombies chase you around so this was my best option. It truly is worth it to get, if anyone does let me know! It would be great to know what you think of it.

The coolest thing is that with updates they are releasing new levels and its not like they charge you to update, so free levels yes please!!!!

Dan bought me that bracelet from a vendor at the welcome party at the hotel…beautiful!

My parents being super Cute!

The herb and veggie garden Ediths had across the street…the food was wonderful!

I had to take a picture of this restaurant because the name was great…speaking of great names, Dan said this is my new car.

Then Harry wore a womans shirt….it wasnt it was a mans but we all made fun of him!

He was sad about us making fun of him.

Color Me Rad Race Day Recap!

28 May

Let me start by saying if you are at all interested in doing this race…DO IT!!!! It was so much fun and easily the best race I have done so far! Everyone has so much energy and it is so much fun and motivational going to each color station!

As you know I ran the race with my Aunts, Uncle, My Sister In-Law and her friends. I wish I had more pictures/a whole team Hello Kitty picture, but I didnt want to ruin my phone by running with it.

First thing first was to take my rings off….I didnt want to risk these beauties getting colored up!

Then it was time for a gear picture….

My purple shoes are old and starting to wear out, so I figured I didnt care if they were messed up, then my race bib and a cup with some pre-workout powder!

Also I got instagram, you can follow me if you want Zandralexia is my user name.

Then I headed to my Aunts house to pick her up and head to the race.

When we got there I made my Aunt Kim take a before picture….yes we all know I am a nerd and since we were team hello kitty I had to get some sweet socks!!!

During the race a girl told me I had the best socks ever…..I had to agree.

Family before pictures..

Aunt Kim, Aunt Tamarra and Uncle Bob….well not in that order but you can figure out who is who!

So then the race started, sorry no race pictures, like I said I didnt have my phone with me.

The race was 3.2 miles, and was great I ran almost the whole thing, but did have to take a walk break because of the gravel. The course was asphalt,gravel, grass, and bigger stones. I finished the race somewhere between 31-32 minutes and was really happy with that.

The color stations were fun, some were powder and some were liquid. The yellow was liquid and got all over my left arm and hand. Glad I took off my ring, really good move there on my part!

I also got really purple, thanks in large part from a guy running in front of me and not a color station! He had color packs and was pelting people with them. I loved it! This one lady near me did not love it since she was apparently trying to not get color on her…..not sure why she was taking part in the race then?!??!

There were over 7000 runners, so it was the biggest race I had ever done, and was awe-inspiring!

So my face ended up like this!

Family after photo! I think they all had a lot of fun! I was so glad to have family running with me and am so proud of all of them for finishing it.

Then I of course had to have my Aunt Kim take a nerd after picture of me

Throwing up sweet peace signs is the coolest!

My Aunt Tamarra and Uncle Bob….Aunt Kim made a crazy face in hers and asked for it to not be on the blog, so I had to respect her wishes!

Then it was time to go to work. I didnt shower or anything just changed. If I showered I would not have been to work before they closed.

At work I had the lunch of champions!

 A cheeseburger, baked beans and my moms pasta peas and garlic….doesnt get any better! We have really good food every saturday at our job!

There was also this mishap while I was at work….I thought wearing a high necked t-shirt would save my chest and neck from coloring, but I was wrong.

I was able to wash my face off at work but not my hair or chest, no mirror in our employee bathroom!

These purple marks did inspire my co-worker to ask if I had gotten beaten up….thus my face! My other co-worker called me braveheart….really glad I didnt get to shower!

So all in all a great race and really done for one simple fact. I LOVE TO RUN! This race really reminded me of that! I have upped my training due to the race and my recent slacking. I also left all the electronic devices at home and it was a great eye opener for me!

WHOSE IN TO RUN IT WITH ME NEXT YEAR?!?!?!

Color Me Rad Tidbit

26 May

Color Me Rad was so much fun! I will post an in depth race review later, and you know I had my Aunt Kim take Nerdy Pictures of me for this blog!!!!

This was my face after the race, and super fun to get off when I got to work!

I would definitely do this race again, it was so much fun! The only after issue I had was all the colors went through the shirt, right onto my collarbones and chest, and with no mirror in our work bathroom I was looking like an abuse victim with yellow and purple highlights. One co-worker was calling me braveheart! However I have now showered and most of the color is gone….the best part is my left arm and hand are n longer yellow!

Like I said full race recap tomorrow, but tonight I am spending time with friends :) .

Have a great Holiday weekend everyone, I will be working again tomorrow but only 10-2, then another full day of festivities!!!

Mexico Day 7

25 May

So here it is our final day in Mexico…I know you are all dying to read all about it!

We started the day at the gym of course! Then hit the pool with the family! It was so crowded that day that we had to sit all the way at the end of the pool, near where we got engaged.

Here we are on the beach we got engaged on! I asked Dan nicely to kneel in the sand and pretend to be proposing again, but he said no, something about too many people thinking he was crazy!

After a day at the pool the family got Sushi……except Dan and I, we do not enjoy fish!

Chicken Enchiladas for me

A Burrito for Dan!

Here was Dan’s reaction to the photoshoot I proposed for the blog….don’t worry he gave in and it will be posted!

Now the photo shoot!

I asked him for an eating action shot he was licking it right before this, in protest to the shoot!

Here is mine, I like to open my mouth as wide as possible when eating to make sure no food escapes!

On the way back to the room, we decided to have a party. So everyone was coming back to our room! This was Grandmas reaction to the fact there was no Grand Marnier in our room!

So off to the restaurant we went to get her some!

This of course meant we had to have one last celebratory drink!

Then we went back to the room and this is where Dad was doing something funny behind me and I went to snap a picture and this happened!

Super angry Dad face!!!!

Ah Mexico we will all miss you and all your beauty! Until next year…. I will leave you with this picture. Tomorrow will bring the pictures that didnt make individual posts, so they are from all week!

I ask you….

24 May

Also I am loving that nail polish right now. I had a Scentsy party at Mom Karnolts tonight, (thank you so much again for doing that!) When we got home that and my Scentsy warmer and scent of the month kit was on the front steps! I am so tired and dont have time to write much else! So just know I will wear these bad boys to my training session tomorrow morning with Jeff and give you a full review. Also tomorrow I will be posting about the last day of Mexico!!!
