2 more hours until the weekend…i think not >.<

The mess of last minute requests!

Monday, I was feeling horrible!  My body was aching so bad, I guess I’m just not used to pushing myself to work out as often as I am now.

So, being home all day since I called sick into work, the boyfriend and me ventured into making Cauliflower Fried Rice! And it was soooo yummy!  The only thing I would probably fix would be that he grated the cauliflower too much and it came off a little like dry porridge.

Thennn, to play off the asian theme, I played around with some ingredients and made something I called “Coconut Curry Chicken”; which my roommate loved and asked to always have in stock at home.  Then, being my boyfriend is vegetarian and you can kind of see it in the photo, I made him portobello steaks with a hemp seed coconut curry sauce.  Nom nom nom! I guess playing with ingredients in the kitchen was a lot more fun than I expected =)

Another Primal Challenge! Stand-up desk!

Behold my work desk, now primal friendly! I have yet to take it down and I don’t really plan too. I will admit, it does kind of suck when I don’t feel like standing anymore and I sit at my desk instead…then I feel like I’m in one of those too-close-for-comfort seats at the movie theaters, and I gotta look up. >.<

Oh yeah! I have red hair now! =)  Well, now it’s sad and faded since it’s be over a month since I first dyed it…but I plan to fix that this weekend

**This was supposed to be posted, like a week ago..but my work computer refuses to let me upload ANYTHING; it’s RIDICULOUS! I’m at work, remotely logged into my home computer, posting to tumblr—this is why I hate my internet at work. >.<**

So I will be the one that admits, everyone at home is ADDICTED to watching Chopped!

Of course, I’m really the only one that cooks but I prefer baking….but now, if you put any of us in the kitchen we pretend we’re on Chopped.

Besides the usual omelet and bacon for breakfast, I was messing around with spices and grilling chicken and made the best grilled chicken I have ever attempted!  My roommate loved it so much, that we agreed to have some always prepared in the fridge so packing lunches would be easier.  My favorite so far has gotta be DIY Grilled Chicken Lettuce Wraps…nom nom nom!

So, as an entire apartment, we started the 21-Day Challenge to go Primal (by Mark Sisson) this past Monday.

In preparation to this life change, we discovered the joy of chia seeds and now I can’t get enough of it!  However, now being in the challenge, I try not to drink the drinks..I did enjoy a little bit of a bottle yesterday though…but I do add them to my water bottle, I just love the texture it adds.

Also, it seems silly really, but my boyfriend is actually vegetarian and this was his idea to do this challenge; however, for the past month he’s been introducing eggs into his diet.  We both actually work different hours and he usually ends up running late to work in the morning, he leaves after 6AM.  So I adjusted my recipe for cupcake frittatas to fit within the Primal diet and now my boyfriend has great grab-and-go eats on his way out the door in the mornings! =)

so, as much as I say I want to use my tumblr, i don’t.

partially because i don’t know what to upload, i’m not in the mood to edit my files/images to upload, and because i really don’t think i’m TOO exciting…

anyways, my boyfriend and me have agreed we’ve become fatties and need a life change.  He’s been telling me about this Primal/Paleo “diet’ for some time now and now he’s convinced me to do it.

So, on top of my completely random blog, I’m going to start posting our journey with going Primal! =)

I’ve been reading through The Primal Blueprint: 21-Day Total Body Transformation for a week now and trying to study the heck out of it, and today…is day 1 of the challenge.  Photos/updates to follow. =)

oh seattle, it’s nice when you pop up on my dash..even if it’s The Lusty Lady
