School

So I went through all the motions of starting culinary school at the Art Institute of Portland and even officially got accepted which was very exciting but at this time I can not start. Though disappointing I need to get other things in my life in order before taking on even more. At this point I plan to start fall 2010, that's my goal. I know that doing it on my own will make it all the more worth it when it happens.

Been a while

Hello non-readers, been a while! I think the last time I updated I said I would try and keep the blog up better. Well.....that didnt happen as non of you can see : ).

So whats up with me you ask? Well I started PCC again and dropped out again. I have figured out that I want to go to cooking school. Ive always liked cooking and food is always on my brain so I think its a perfect fit. Other than that work is a little better but I really need to get into a real restaurant, hope some jobs open up soon....


Theres tons more to talk about but ill save that for later.

Some things to eat and not eat when on a diet....

Don't Eat....

Chips or Crackers- Even ones that are supposedly healthy. Once you start on these crunchy snacks is really hard to stop. By the time your done you'll have eaten way more calories then you should have, and they are not to filling anyway.

Cookies- Duh, they are soooo delicious but most cookies are 200+ calories EACH!!! So not worth 15min on the optical

Ice Cream- Really adds up the calories quickly, if you have to buy some light ice cream and keep it to a minimum.

Soda- I was a complete soda addict for many many years, which is prob one of the big reasons I am so overweight. A single can of Coke contains at least 150cal. I could drink a whole liter a day for a while which I don't even want to know how much that was.

95% of Fast Food- Last year when I started really looking at what I was eating I found out really quickly that almost no fast food is good for you, even if you think its a better choice. Even places like Quizno's and Panera bread which have the appeal of being better for you are sadly not. Most subs at both these places contain more than half the daily calories and fat you supposed to have in the entire day. The only fast food choices that I have found so far that aren't to bad are as listed

Sub Way- Usually I get a foot long Turkey and Ham with extra tomato, spinach, cheddar cheese and very light Honey Mustard on 9 grain honey oat bread. ~600cal

Wendy's- Ultimate Chicken Grill Sandwich- ~370cal

Ruby Tuesdays- Top Sirloin with green beans instead of broccoli (broc doesn't sit well with me) and the mashed potatoes. Kinda a pricey meal but only has bout 600cal altogether or so they say.


Good Choices......

Eggs- I love eggs and eat more than I should. Egg lands best eggs are only 70cal each and keep me full longer than most breakfast items. I heard somewhere that if you eat a protein at the start of your day you end up burning more fat, so cant hurt right?

Instead of normal cold cereal for breakfast I find that oatmeal with skim milk or water is much more filling and satisfying. I always have more then one bowl of cold cereal and the servings are so small I end up consuming way more calories then I should.

Leona Lewis- Happy

So what if it hurts me?

So what if i break down?

So what if this world just throws me off the edge

My feet run out of ground

I gotta find my place

I wanna hear myself

Don't care about all the pain in front of me

Cause i'm just trying to be happy, yeah

Just wanna be happy, yeah

Dream

So had a really crazy dream last night. So I cant remember all the parts of it but for some reason Kasey and I were at a Rumor Willis concert (she doesnt sing). In my dream Kasey was a really big fan and after the concert was able to meet her. Another part there was this wierd accicent where someone dies under a big place like the rose garden that kept relplaying over and over throught my dream.
The best part of the was I got to meet Zac Efron. He was in town and he and I hit it off at a concert we were both at. He then baught a house for his small stay in portland and my friends and I got to stay there.
For some reason my dream ended at this wierd outdoors bar and Ron Howard was there. He was dieing but we were all celebrating his life. Sooooo Wierd.
