GREEN Smoothie

hola!

I keep seeing green smoothie recipes all over pinterest and finally decided to make one. And after drinking it,  I conclude I'll be making a lot more going forward! In hopes to lose 25 pounds and not eating enough fruit and veggies this is a great way to get them in, I especially like them post work out.

I used..

(roughly)
3/4 cup frozen pineapple
3/4 cup frozen mango
1 low fat greek yogurt
2 cups baby spinach
5-6 cubes
little bit of water to blend
Total calories: 216
Protein: 17grams

This made about 2 smoothies, it was more than I planned but defs drank it all, which made it really filling. I had this and 5oz of grilled chicken for lunchy!

I'm excited to mix up the ingrediants a bit, swapping for bananas and different fruit :)

I Graduated!

I graduated!! After completing my second, and last internship with Kohl's, and my final semester at UW-Stout...

I GRADUATED!

December 15th, 2012 I finally graduated with a Bachelors degree. It feels SO good to be done with college. Though, everytime the thought about the mass about of student debt I have makes me queeezy and I want to throw up. I defs regret not making smarter choices when it comes to taking out student loans, but, I didn't really know!

With that said, I'm moving to Milwaukee, WI (well actually a suburb of mke, Pewaukee) It's about 20 minutes from Downtown Milwaukee. I start work February 4th for Kohl's Department stores, where I'll do 12 weeks of training, then I'll be placed at a different store as an Assistant Store Manager. Pretty anxious about it, it has it's positives and negatives about the job. But I'll be living with Andrea, a friend since Kindergarden. She's lived here for over a year and a half now and works at Kohls Headquarters.

I'll be posting more on Milwaukee later :)

Studio Shoot

For an Advertising Photography class Jamie and I went to the studio to mess around a little bit and take some shots. They turned out really well, Jamie is a phenom model, and I hope she decides to pursue it more cause I think she'd do really well. :) Here are some of the photos!!
(The reason most of them are cut off at the at the head is because that's what I was going for for one of my Ad's)

 

Veggie Patties!

I have always been one of the person who when they hear the word "veggie pattie" I just vom in my mouth a little. Never have wanted to eat them. BUT the other day I was at the ol' Walmart and a nice lady was handing out samples (if you know me personally, you'll know I cant pass up ANY sample). but I actually didn't know they were "veggie" patties at first until after I ate it- I was like meh these are pretty good actually. $1.00 off coupon? surreee I'll take it. So I picked up a bag.

So this is what I came up with for a nice healthy Dinner!

Light Life Backyard Burgers (190 cals)

Kraft American Cheese, 2% (45 cals)

Sara Lee Thin Style Buns-100% Whole-Grain (100 cals)

Then I added a Veggie salad with cauli flower, broccoli, carrot pieces, cucumber, spinach & iceberg lettuce

And of course, Ice water =) 

All together Everything added up to 435 calories which is great for a 1,200+ calorie diet.
