Where's My Car?

Dude, Where's My Car? Yea I had to go there.

After a week of amazing Spring like weather this is what we had to deal with today. It was probably like 8 inches. I cleared the driveway, porch and part of the walkway along with cleaning off the cars. Mine didn't have as much snow because I drove home as it was starting. I'm so ready for Spring but the shoveling for over two hours was really good Cardio and according to SparkPeople I burned over 1300 Calories doing it. My back and arms are pretty sore though. Well I should get to bed. I have to go tomorrow and walk through woods for my Environmental Science class, which should be fun with this snow.

SSSSSSNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW

I'm not happy about the snow being back. We have 5-6 inches out there now and when I went out it was hailing little snowballs. The only good thing is the Cardio workout I'm going to get shoveling snow tomorrow.

I've been using SparkPeople a lot lately and not using this much. I'm going to try to really balance the two. I will get some pictures tomorrow of the snow. I really wish is was Spring I'm so sick of the snow.

Good Night,

Shelly

Difficulties

I'm finding it difficult to find foods to eat when out at restaurants. I couldn't really find anything to eat at all on Chili's website so I've been avoiding that. It's all like 1000 Calories a meal. What I normally get is over 1600 Calories and the appetizer was another 1400 Calories. It's just kinda frustrating. Applebee's Chicken Teriyaki Pasta was really good and only 470 Calories.

Happy Birthday Melanie

I exercised for almost an hour today, it was good exercise too. I mean sometimes when I exercised at school for my fitness course I just kinda was lazy about it and didn't really do a very good workout. But I've been using SparkPeople a lot this week and did the exercises for two different teams there and then my Shake Weight. It was like 50 minutes of exercise and I feel like I worked all of my muscles and did Cardio as well.

Today was my friend Melanie's Birthday, she passed away in December. I hadn't seen her in a while but she was like a second sister to me when we were growing up.

She would have been 29 today. I was thinking about a memory I think we were around 4 or 5 we would drink V8 a lot and make "grilled" cheese sandwiches by toasting

the bread and then putting cheese on it. We used to say we wanted a V8 pool with cheese towels. It only makes sense to a child but it's a great memory, lol.

I had a chocolate cup cake today, I planned ahead for these Calorie

s and ate lower Calorie options for breakfast and lunch. It was sorta a Valentine's gift from my parents. My dad got it for my mom but she doesn't eat chocolate.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

I hope everyone had a good Valentine's Day. I exercised for over an hour today, yay me! I also am getting obsessed with taking pictures of my flowers. I am going to frame some of them into an art piece on my wall. The hard part is going to be picking the pictures to use. I am adding a few more and by a few I mean these are only a fraction of what I took today, lol.

A little Romeo and Juliet rewrite from the movie Gnomeo & Juliet

Juliet: Oh Gnomeo! Gnomeo are we really doomed to never see each other again. Why must you wear a blue hat? Why couldn't it be red like my father, or green like...like a leprechaun...or purple...like ummm like some weird guy. I mean what is in a gnome because you are blue, my father sees red, because I am red, I am feeling blue. Oh at any rate that should be a thing to keep us apart, should it.

Gnomeo: No, no, it shouldn't, I couldn't say it better myself

Miyako Japanese Steakhouse

Here are the few pictures from the Miyako Japanese Steakhouse Jeff took me to last night. It was an awesome place. You sat around a grill with other people. It was fun and the food was yummy.

I didn't take this picture I borrowed it from the Great Lakes Crossing Webpage

This was the awesome broth soup with cute bowl and spoon

Blurry but I loved the design of the plate

Jeff took this one of the Daily Sushi we got as an appetizer

It was a really fun dinner and very delicious

More Valentine's Pictures!

Alright here are the rest of the pictures with the exception of the few I took at the Japanese place. I didn't take many there but will add them later. I kinda felt like a tourist taking pictures so I didn't get any of the cook and his cool tricks. This was the best Valentine's Day ever, it was so much fun and I woke up today to my beautiful roses next to my bed so it made me happy.

Me and Jeff

Jeff took me to see Gnomeo & Juliet, it was such a cute movie

I was trying to show just how fat this little guy is, it's what makes him so darn cute, lol.

The remainder of these rose pictures were taken at night with just my over head light in my room, not the easiest to do since I despise using a flash because it washes the color out

Valentine's Sunday

Jeff

Jeff, I forgot to change the exposure back

Fat Stewie

I love these with the sunlight from the window over exposed

Playing with exposures on Monochromatic

Jeff got me four dozen Roses and a Fat Stewie Stuffed animal and took me to one of those Japanese places where they cook the food in front of you and there are a million courses. It was so good.

Well I think I will add the rest tomorrow or I might just be up all night adding them. I'll likely take more tomorrow as well. I get kinda obsessed with taking pictures of flowers. Maybe this time I'll frame a few and put the pictures on my wall.
