Killer Flies Part 1
I noticed BLACK spots on my ceilings 2 days ago. I looked closer and saw it was a fucking HUGE fly. I let it slip, because if I thought about to much I'd get grossed out. I then noticed 2 more flies. I am talking STEROID growth hormone mutant flies. And they just sat there. Only 2 flew into the lights and windows. I then noticed THREE 3 in my living room/TV area. THREE! That makes 6 flies. How the F*#! did they get here. And furthermore, WHY SO MANY? It freaked me out so so much. And these guys are fat and huge. I of course get that anxious panicked feeling in the pit of my stomach that makes me want to ignore the problem and pretend it's not there, for hopes that I am hallucinating. Do I have a fly nest somewhere? I have a huge phobia of killing bugs and then picking them up for fear they will start to twitch or attack me. I managed to kill 3 yesterday (one was so traumatizing) and I don't know if I actually got it in the cup and into the hallway. There were 2 on my bedroom ceiling last night- now they are gone. 2 in my living room. I will take a picture. They also are arrogant assholes! They don't fly around when you come near then, and start whacking them with a rolled up copy of INSIDE FITNESS magazine. They are cocky. Or really sluggish due to their mutant steroid size. It's freaking me out!!!!
ANY ADVICE?
I have today off of work, and my weekend buddy put in a request to have Friday off too- long weekend, but I am BROKE. We are doing groceries etc. Headed to gym now. I am getting really depressed over my over-eating, which causes me to over eat. Vicious cycle. I feel so self conscious right now. Too much worry anxiety and stress. I also sprained my ankle, re-twisted it yesterday, and my right leg is totally messed. Hurts more than I'd like to admit.
Off to the gym. Ugh. Will post more later. Comment please, with any advice!!!
Saw CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS and EVERYONE should see this movie! So funny, and a great message. Saw it 3D Imax and it was sooo worth it!

Broccoli Slaw LOVING!
I had a wonderful workout today and then walked to Safeway to grab produce and black pepper. I finally decided to try Mann's Broccoli-Slaw. OMG why haven't I tried this before? It was so good! I got home, and mixed it with a can of Bamboo and Wax beans, added dressing spices, then Romaine, tomatoes, peppers, tuna etc:
This is part one of my amazing broccoli slaw salad (with a can of bamboo, can of yellow beans)

Migrained Monday
I woke up today at 3am and started eating seaweed. Had a HUGE headache, and since 3 extra strength Tylenol did nothing, I figured looking at blogs and eating would. I woke up with headache, and distended stomach. Went to the gym look pregnant, cancelled work, binged on seaweed and salsa again (with my lunch) and freaked out, gave my seaweed to the landlady for safe keeping, and went to the theatre to see Tyler Perry's newest movie ' I Can Do Bad All By Myself'. I love 'soul movies' , they are so unique as compared to other movies. Even when dealing with the same subjects, you can see such a huge difference. They have soul!! lol. I enjoyed it a lot.

I downloaded the most beautiful cell phone wallpaper yesterday of St. Lucia, beaches, rain, palm trees etc. I also uploaded about 10 songs to use as ringtones. I love http://www.myxer.com/ ! It's safe, and all free and customizable!!
I am getting picked up around 2:30pm-3pm and then running to the nearest Superstore to buy Salsa, canned wax beans etc and to the Korean Market for my KAEDE seaweed strips. I can't believe I ate 5 entire packages this week. There are 100 whole sheets in each.
That's 71.5 sheets PER DAY. I went through 6 1.86 L jugs of salsa, a 3.9 LITRE huge ass jug, and 2 473mL jars of PC salsa verde and another one.
I haven't had a protein powder binge in a while, or even had any straight up except for 1 package last week of the new Gaspari Myofusion Strawberries and Cream to try because I was feeling light headed. Gaspari is a great company, and they are also reformulating one of my favorite thermogenics CYTOLEAN. I hope it'll be great!!! I use their Superpumped250 with a Xenergy most mornings before my Cardio.
I asked you guys yesterday, but I'll re post until I get feedback:
What types of supplements do you want reviews on? Anything in specific you would like clarification on? Any product you are interested in? Let me know!
Have a FABULOUS day everyone, and leave comments and WRITE! I know I haven't been posting as many pics as before, or blogging as frequently, but keep in mind I have mono, adrenal exhaustion, migraines and am so stressed most days I want to run away. So tired. Also, when you have such a lack of response, it makes you feel worthless and like nobody cares, and gives you that 'Why Bother' mentality.
I really appreciate every single email, comment etc I have gotten. They have made my day!

Friday (FINALLY) part 2
I did my 54min @ the gym (523cal/ 5.49miles) then went to work pretty happy BECAUSE the one co-worker who I CANNOT stand (the one that does NOTHING) was off today, and I got to work with my fabulous, favorite coworker whom I rarely see. He is fabulous and gay and funny and I am so calm & chilled out when he's there. I even offered to open for him tomorrow so he can go out and party and sleep in. My weekend shopping buddy is at his Godson's bday (1 years old!) until 2pm tomorrow, so I figured I might as well make some $, because I refuse to sit at home and binge from boredom/stress.
I also got gifted another bottle of Starbucks Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup which I am using in my Protilife ice cream & shake tonight. As we speak I am also adding in to my GG Scandinavian Crisp Bread Sprinkles, and microwaving it so it's mushy and hot.
I ate 2.3 Sweet Nothings Belgium Cats post gym, and about 48g of sprinkles. I then had a can of tuna, a can of wax beans, and a can of sliced bamboo shoots with The Keg's seasoning salt and Walden Farms' Thousand Island Dressing. I managed to eat 3 packs of "dessert" gum ( trident pina colada, juicy fruits new orange pineapple juicy stix, and stride wild berry) and I huge cucumber sliced and sprinkled with strawberry kiwi crystal light, sweetener, and lemon juice.
Question:
What products/ items do you want to see reviewed???
I've been meaning to do this for a while now, but mono and stress and laziness got in the way. Do you want individual vitamin reviews, supplements, fat burner's and thermo's, pre/post workout, BCAA'S, proteins, cleanses, fiber supplements etc. Let me know! This isn't just some random reviewing- I am a nutrition and supplement consultant, so I do now my stuff inside and out. Ingredients mean something to me, and I understand the functioning, science, formulas etc. Beyond that, it's a passion.
Hope to hear from you and get some feedback!
FRIDAY whoop whoop
It is FRIDAY. This past 1.5 weeks I've managed to gain 7 lbs of fat, stress myself to the point of near breakdown, eat 6 1.89L and 1 3.89L jugs of salsa, sprain my ankle, workout, make it through work, storm out of work lest I strangle my annoying coworker, eat enough nori sheets to supply my thyroid with iodine for the rest of my life, pop enough pain killers to consider that my blood is liquid acetaminophen, salsa, and crystal light. I've become addicted to FUZE SHAPE in TROPICAL FRUIT (not feeling the strawberry melon).I would like to know when Canada will get the rest of the slenderize flavors??!!! Dragon fruit, blue raspberry??!! Hello, bring it Fuze people. Canada likes to have healthy options too!!!
Most importantly, I have utilized my mini Salter digital scale of love, numerous times a day at the gym, and yesterday in the food court. Yes people were watching and giving me odd looks (it was a cucumber- I know- but it was fun). I must have looked like an eating disordered OCD person. The scale is TINY and discreet, but peeling and weighing a cucumber... well, there isn't a way to be stealth about that!
Heading to the gym now, then work, then possibly either collapse from mental exhaustion, or from eating my body weight in salsa and seaweed sheets.
I'll update later.

Quick Tuesday Recap
I was weighing either protein powder of bran sprinkles in this picture. I love the thing! I wish it weighed more than it's max load of 25g, but I mostly am using it for lighter things.

Behold the SIEVES/Strainers!
The Strainers:
Pretty, no? Yes, I like my kitchen gadgets and utensils....
I also had the BEST salsa today. I have been going through 2-3 LITRE tubs a DAY lately, and had non left today. I was too tired to walk to a grocery store, so I ran into a little Organic Vitamin store in the mall and grabbed the Simply Natural Fire Roasted Black Bean and Corn Organic Salsa. It's only 470mL- I didn't think I'd be that impressed. OMG. It is amazing. Thick like chili, with the most amazing fire roasted taste ever! Needless to say, I finished the whole jar in less than 10 minutes. I shit you not! Here are some pictures of it's fire-roasted, organic, chunky goodness:
I can't wait to try there other flavors!
I am still getting my GHETTO no name superstore generic brand- which I actually love. I do not like PACE salsa (except picante) they are TOO vinegary. I LOVE OLD DUTCH RESTAURANTE salsa in mild, and my new favorite is El Restaurante Original Chunky Salsa distributed by Nalley Canada Ltd. These are all the 1.89L and 3.4L sizes I'm talking about. I pour it on salad, pasta, tuna, chicken,veggies, and mostly I dip Sushi Seaweed Nori into it as a scoop. SO GOOD.
THE GHETTO SALSA:
Obviously the more expensive gourmet ones are the best (and I have had some damn good salsas) but for the amount I go through, I need CHEAP and large. There is a wholesale place that had a 4Ltr size of this well known condiment/industry/food court type brand. It started with an S. Sunett? Sunkist? Who knows, but I am grabbing some tomorrow!
I think I should have called this post 'Salsa Loving' instead- that'll have to wait for tomorrow! What are your favorite salsas???
Looking forward to hearing from you, and seeing what you've been up to!

Glorious Basterds
Yesterday, I FINALLY bought a skillet And 2 strainers of varying sizes to replace the other 2 I had bought previously. 1 is from the complete cook, and looks really nice but is pretty expensive. The other one is my ghetto strainer from Walmart, but works rather well since it is soooo deep. I need to return the gourmet one, and one of the small ones (although I actually think I might keep the Ghetto Strainer).I will add a picture tomorrow as I'm too tired now.
I went to see INGLOURIOUS BASTARDS this afternoon and am so glad I did! Very well done movie; great witty, intelligent dialogue, humor, interesting story etc. It was so funny and brilliantly acted. It did not feel like 2.5hrs!!
My workout this morning was pretty decent, and I managed not to over eat today. I have gained 5lbs from the stress eating and am NOT happy about that. I go back to work tomorrow, which has been a major cause of stress and anxiety for me- so I'm obviously a tad apprehensive. Wish me luck!!

Bouncy room needed...
I have been using all my energy at the gym in the mornings- it's the only thing I feel good about. I bought 2 stainless steel sieve/strainers an a t-fal non-stick skillet/ frying pan (FINALLY). Other than that, my weekend was nice- lots of grocery shopping done! I think I am just feeling down, and feel the need to hide... I will blog with a happier post/update as soon as I can get my act together and stop thinking like a crazy depressed person!!!
