garlic-cheese-tomato hor'dourve + nike buddy

Currently Digging: tilapia and fresh cucumber salad

After work-out, I craved for something cheesy and garlicky... so i thought y not use the old bread sitting in our ref... Guess it can be: POORLEI'S hor'dourve... hahaha!!! I made 4 slices...

POOR LEI's garlic-cheese-tomato hor'dourve

• french bread sliced to desired thickness
• spray with I can't believe it's not butter
• Sprinkle garlic powder
• top with 2% shredded cheese
• TOAST: 4.5minutes
• top with sliced tomato
  

gave 2 to my mom... and she asked me:

----------KAMATIS?!?

I said: eh ano?!?

{she took a bite...}

------------LEI! ANG SARAP! (It was good!!! yeah it was!)

oh.... well... its surprising enough she tried it... interesting: she liked it.
I was thinking of using SUN DRIED TOMATO... we don't have it.. and it's expensive...

HAPPY 62nd BIRTHDAY MA!!!

Had lunch today at Frankie's house.... (then I went to GYM and worked out!)

Lunch Menu c/o Frankie: Mexican dish (?)-more like dorito casserole; Green Salad-by Martha; Hot Salsa; Adopted Pinoy cucumber salad with onions; Corn chips; Sugar free fruit dessert (american fruit salad); Fresh fruit plate; Iced tea and lemonade...

Something to ponder: Here are some popcorn balls Frankie made for the trick or treaters yesterday. It was just exposed-open to air.... Wondering bakit di kumunat kahit na naka expose sa hangin??? Just curious...Mom, Dad, Frankie and Martha all enjoyed this!!! hahaha.... So messy to eat!!! I tasted it too... yummy...

Pursuit of 100 lbs. weight loss

Currently Digging: adobong kangkong and boiled chicken

So far, this is my journey....Lei at 290+ pounds... (Cute parin!)

MY hair... long
Face... round
Chin... triple?
Neck... WHAT NECK?!!? DO I EVEN HAVE ONE?! (haha!)

GRabeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh! Buffet was my friend back then! I eat without even thinking about calories, fat, cholesterol, fiber, salt what so ever.

then the decision to change my life....

I thought: i have to buy myself something for that very first pay check.

And here it went... a 3-year GYM MEMBERSHIP with training sessions built in with a Trainer to jump start my weightloss....

Lei at 250 pounds (new clothes?)

The hardest part: is to start that first work out session.... then to continue working out lalo na kung pati dulo ng buhok ko and dumi sa kuko ko is all s-o-r-e....


The NEXT hardest: to continue my commitment to lose more weight.... kahit tapos na ang training sessions ko....

HARDER than the next hardest: to change my habit of eating... to change the KINDS of foods I eat, the AMOUNT of food i engulf, and the QUALITY of food I eat.




THE RESULT: my BEFORE (at 290 lbs.) and AFTER (210 lbs) pics....

20 more pounds and I will achieve my SHORT TERM GOAL!!!!!!

LIFE TIME GOAL: To be as close to my ideal body weight as possible...

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! i cannot resist the temptation!!!! I just thought I blog it!
I craved for it and I got it!!!!!!

It's that salt & fat laden burger from Mc Donald's... the one in their dollar menu!!
The one that melts in your mouth when you bite into it... (well it is made of fat right???)The one thats hard to resist when you stop by for that dollar 42 oz. diet dr. pepper and a free redbox rental...

It is the.. one and only... double cheese burger...

... i must confess within a matter of 2 stop lights and 2 stop signs... I have devoured this temptating pseudo protein fat laden food... and to say the least for a matter of minutes i was in my state of NIRVANA...

too bad it didn't give enough satisfaction to orgasm!

guess my brain already flipped out and started calculating grams of fat and calories per bite! haha!!

• LARGE dt. dr. pepper: $1.08
• Double Cheese Burger: $1.07
• FREE red box rental: -$1.00
• GRAND TOTAL: $1.15!

here's a secret: WE NEVER BUY TOMATO KETCHUP!!!!!!!!! (saves us 99cents lol!)

***dati nga even table napkins multi-branded! hahah....

Since I can't follow any recipe at all, I'll use this blog instead to jot down notes about foods I make at home... food experiments, food adventures while we are not together.
hopefully, this will be the beginning of the food menu for my dream resto.. WHATCHATHINK? **dreaming.... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... ... ... .. ... . ... .**
