Sunday Fun Day - Playing Catch Up

Hey NeverEver's!

I hope you have all had a great 'Halloween' Weekend! Sadly, there was no parties for me this weekend. Not sure what was going on but this year was a quite Halloween. Oh well, there is always dressing up for work on Wednesday (I am thinking 80's) and next year to party it up!

So I was looking at all my posts and I just noticed that I haven't done my Daily Stats since Tuesday's Post...which was Monday's Stats. What happened this week? I am not sure but let us catch up!

Daily Stats Day 90:

So quick review on Tuesday's Food! I tried a wonderful recipe off of Eat, Live, Run, which was the 30 minute lemon brown sugar chicken!

It was so sweet yet lemon-y tart it became a favorite here in this household!

I did do a 'Calorie Counter' for it...well because I didn't know what it was. As a side note, I did use Wheat Flour not While.

 Not upset with these food stats at all. It was a delicious chicken!

Okay on to Wednesday's Daily Stats!

Daily Stats Day 91:

Wednesday was a quite day. Some family came over and Mother in Law made her tomato noodle soup. Which we all added bananas to!

Daily Stats Day 92:

Thursday was fun. It was the first time I have ever done a 'What I Ate' post and I made a delicious dinner. Thank you again SkinnyTaste! Sadly my picture looked nothing like Gina's...but I am willing to bet it tasted just as yummy! Which in the end is what counts.

It was also family approved, and basically eaten, before I could get any good photos. Hubby and I invited his sister and her boyfriend over for dinner. So it was a loud and happy night!

Daily Stats Day 93:

Just a normal Friday after work for me today. Hubby had some allergies so he wanted a night in.

Daily Stats Day 94:

Saturday was a fun day. First we get woken up by the owners of the house, we live in a duplex, saying that they were going to change our windows to more energy efficient ones.

I am ALL for older houses going green...however, not when its 8 in the morning on a Saturday.

Good bye old windows I knew thee well! Good bye window bars...I shall not miss you at all.

Okay so after we were awakened and out of the house, after covering all the appliances and such in the house. Hubby and I went stove shopping! Yay!!!!

We have found a possible winner. It is KitchenAid 2 oven stove for about $1400. At Sears it was $2000 but at BestBuys it was $1400. Still need to check out Lowe's but I think we have a winner!

Never had a double stove before, so I am pretty excited for this new thing to be in my kitchen!

So after all that shopping Hubby and I were getting hungry so we stopped by Hubby's favorite place in the world...

Islands! They have this new, very delicious, Ocktoberfest Beer. It went well with my Guacamole burger! Hubby got the Golden Ale, which is a stable on their tap.

The Burger was delicious! I really have never had a better Guac burger then when I come here. So after dinner we went over to the movies to watch Silent Hill in 3D.

I had goosebumps throughout the whole movie. But, as a gamer I just wanted to come home and play the game to see where the movie went wrong...I might be playing it after I finish with all my blogging business!

Okay NeverEver's! We are finally caught up on the Daily Stats! I really never want to be this far behind on those things again and I am sorry it happened this time!

I hope you have all checked out my Guest Post  for FitKit! I have been invited to do this once a month, which I am so happy about!

On to work on the Magazine Stand Outs! (I know I am extremely late on this one). Also just one more thing...

It came in! My KLUTCHclub October box! Here was all that was in it! Can not wait to share with you how everything in the box goes!

Okay so I did lie a little bit...that wasn't the last of it. Tonight is my game!

Lets go Saints! Who Dat!!

Now its the end. Sorry for the really long post...it will teach me never to play catch up again!

Have a great rest of your Sunday NeverEver's! Let me know what you think of my Guest Post for FitKit and the KLUTCHclub goodie bag!

Korean BBQ and Sunday Night Football!

Hey NeverEver's,

Today was a pretty good day. Slept in after all that walking from the Auto Show! Once awake it was defiantly time for Sunday Morning Breakfast! So I brought out my waffle maker.

Did I mention that my waffle maker makes circus animal shapes?

This one was for the hubby! He doesn't do syrup on any breakfast foods anymore. He has found a Mexican caramel sauce called 'Cajeta'. I personally don't get the taste cause it doesn't have the 'caramel' taste that I am expecting but he LOVES it. 

Me of course I am satisfied with my normal syrup thank you very much! This was the first time however that I used the Wheat flour for waffles. It was very filling, actually more filling then the normal waffles I made with white flour.

After breakfast it was time to run some errands. Sunday is the perfect day for that, as long as you go earlier. I picked up some chicken wings for dinner this week and I am FINALLY going to try the Three Cheese Tortellini and Mushroom Soup! I have been eyeing that recipe from SkinnyTaste for a while now. But it has been to warm here in Cali for it, now that it has cooled down its perfect!

Getting home Hubby and I decided that before the game tonight, Sunday Night Football Saints vs Chargers, to take his parents out for some Korean BBQ! Now it was the first time they had ever been there, so it was quite an experience!

 Table was all set, already had the Beef Brisket on the grill! Sadly they didn't have the sides that I like but the salad made up for it!

 Seriously I am not sure what sauce they put into the sauce but it is delicious. Just spicy enough to have a kick but not overly so where you are dying. Side note I die easily when it comes to spices ^_^

 The plates here are smaller so you can't just overload the plates. I like that and am slowly but surely replacing all my plates to be smaller.

By the way, have you guys had rice paper? It makes everything so yummy! I don't know why but it does.

So we made it back with about 20 minutes to spare before the game! At this point in the game we are still in the first half with Drew Bree's making a new record with the NFL by tossing a TouchDown for the 48th straight game on a 40 yard TouchDown!

We are tied right now 7 to 7...and I am leaving you all now to finish watching the game!

Have a relaxing rest of your Sunday!

Weekend Updates: Hiking, Neptune, and Mazes Oh My

Hey NeverEver's,

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I can't believe that it is already Sunday. It seems like the weekend just flies by...I would seriously like it to slow down, maybe smell the flowers? California in the Fall does have its colors!

 So Saturday was pretty busy. Hubby and I went hiking in the Los Padres Mountains. We still can't seem to find the swimming areas, but that just means we have to keep heading back ^_^.

Last time we were here it wasn't so 'Green' nor was there so much water. I loved how it looked!

That fallen tree wasn't there either. Of course we all had to have our turn crossing it. There was a few times it 'bounced' that it got a little heart racing!

Max, the awesome friend / photographer, was the first to try the fallen tree. How brave is that! 

Hubby was the last but he decided he wanted to jump a little right in the middle. The whole tree, or is it a log now, decided it wanted to move as well. We all left the tree alone after that. 

Forget hiking...you burn calories trying to navigate over rocks! I swear it! Plus its fun and you seriously feel so adventurous trying to get around! 

Hubby caught me on mid-leap! I was so ecstatic that I actually made it. Personally, I was thinking it was going to end in a splash! 

So after all that hiking we decided we were hungry. Some how we ended up near Malibu, CA and stopped at Neptune's Net.  

They have an awesome walk in area where you can pick out your own beer or other drinks. I went with the Shock Top, Hubby with the NewCastle and Max with the Stella. So many different tastes. 

By the time food arrived we were all very hungry. I went with the BBQ Pulled Pork, which was delicious, and Hubby went with the shrimp and Calamari. The Shrimp was yummy as well!

So while we were eating we found out that Hubby's sister got free tickets to a Halloween Maze by their house. Needless to say we HAD to go!

The Haunted Hollywood Sports, which on non Halloween days, is actually a HUGE paintball place. What they did was each of the 4 mazes were created out of their original paintball 'war' grounds. The mazes were creepy and thrilling! 

Plus they also had this thing called 'Zombie KillZones' where you get a paintball gun, no paintball's just air, and you can SHOOT at the zombies. Sadly our tickets didn't include that BUT we are thinking about going back. I mean how many other things can you shoot at zombies?

Anyways before I forget, Daily Stats!

Daily Stats Day 66:

It was the Cookie Oreo Shake. And to tell the truth it wasn't very fulfilling. 

Daily Stats Day 67:

See climbing over rocks seriously burns those calories! 

Okay so I am leaving you all with this. It is ON between the Hubby and I. Hopefully tomorrow I will be writing and gloating, about how my  Saints won the game! 

Hope you all enjoyed the pictures! I know there was LOTS of them, but it really is an amazing spot that had to be shared!

Have a good rest of your Sunday NeverEver's!

Sunday Funday! Weekend Updates + Schedule

Hey NeverEver's!

It is so hard to get back into the swing of things, especially when it means waking up and having someone else schedule. But that is what a job is, even a 2 week assignment.

So today's post is mainly to update my Daily Body Media Stats. Also to go over what I am planning to do this week.

Daily Stats Day 58:

Daily Stats Day 59:

Those Carl Jr's Chocolate Chip Cookie was calling my name...and I paid for it.

Daily Stats Day 60:

Now Saturday's Calorie Intake was something I planned on. Hubby and I went out to see the UFC Fight #152. It has been over a month since the last time we watched one, I was really missing it to tell the truth!

It was an amazing card! So much action, even on the pre-lims on fox. Plus it was a lot of fun running into the normal Applebee's crowd for the fight! So although I ate more then my calorie intake it wasn't as bad as previous fight nights!

So as yesterday's entertainment, the UFC #152, was amazing today's NFL Game for my Saints was anything but.

We had an amazing first half, but the Chiefs came back from Half Time on fire! We even went into Over Time...and it still wasn't enough.

So over the next 7 days I do have a plan...hopefully this time it will become true!

WorkOut Schedule!

Monday: Weigh In + Spin, seriously it has been to long

Tuesday: Body Pump at the Gym

Wednesday: H.I.I.T, I have actually missed this

Thursday: Walk, maybe some jogging

Friday: Day of Rest

Saturday: Hiking in the Padres Mountains here in Cali

Sunday: Day of Rest

Other Highlights:

I am also getting together with a friend photographer who is going to show me how best to use my Nikon CoolPix L130, so soon you guys are going to be getting better pictures!

Also, going to start tinkering with my blog. Possibly getting a new layout or at least changing things around. You guys have to tell me what you are thinking about it! Please!

Okay NeverEver's, enjoy the rest of your Sunday! See you all on Monday

Weekend Review Day's 53 & 54

Hey NeverEver's!

How was your weekend? Mine has gone by pretty fast. Of course I think that has to do with the fact I spent all of yesterday in a movie theater!

Since the Hubby and I were going to spending hours in that theater, for a worthy cause of course, entertainment! We had to start the day off right!

Cantaloupe with grapes and a light drizzle of honey! It was just the right kind of sweet. Hubby wasn't to sure about it at first, he never had cantaloupe like this before, but after trying it out he admitted he liked it! Score!!

We got a picture of the first artifact that Indiana 're-locates' in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Have to say the movies were wonderfully remastered!

We did have a small issue with a fire alarm going off, at first we all thought the flashing lights was something to do with the movie, oops. After things settled down we found out that someone pulled the fire switch while leaning against it. Every movie goer got a free ticket back for the whole 'disturbance of the movie'. I personally was just happy that it wasn't an actual fire!

A really nice touch with AMC was that they placed the times the movies were going to be starting, so we all had time to move around after each movie without worrying about missing the next one! It was really well put together and well worth the $25 for the ticket.

After the movies, we got out pretty late, Hubby and I decided to try a new place by the theater. i-sweet has only been open for 4 months but the place was packed.

I ordered the green tea & milk shaved ice cream with mochi pieces. It was delicious! The green tea didn't have any unnatural sweetness so it was still tart. The thing was huge though so the Hubby and I shared! There was some left overs, like I said it was a lot of shaved ice cream, so I know what I will be having for the next few days ^_^!

Daily Stats Day 52:

Friday after going shopping for new Blog Plates over at Target I start craving pizza. So for the 'treat' of the weekend was a little early and we went for some pizza hut. I think I did pretty well with that calorie balance!

Daily Stats Day 53:

For a day in the theater what saved me...Almonds! They filled me up so well that a lunch of a hotdog was just enough. Also I did sleep more then 3 hours but my arm started hurting, I slept on it, and I just had to take off the Body Media.

Second Week Game

So Sunday has been pretty good to me. Slept in, made breakfast, and just basically enjoying my game...even if we are losing!

I wasn't sure what I really wanted for breakfast today but as soon as I got to the kitchen I knew. I wanted pancakes again...but this time I wanted apples in them!

MultiGrain Apple and Cinnamon Stuffed Pancake

First I am happy how these babies turned out! So yummy with the apple and cinnamon! Have to say that I might like these ones better then the MultiGrain Peach and Cinnamon Stuffed Pancakes.

 Secondly I love how this picture came out! The plate and the syrup under it! It looks awesome, or at least better then some of my other pictures!

So NeverEver's do you guys wake up on Sunday to watch your teams play? What is your favorite thing to make for weekend breakfast? I need some new ideas!

Have a great rest of your Sunday NeverEver's, see you all on Monday!
