#MeatlessMondays

-

Mondays are full of motivations (see hashtags) and intentions. I came across the #MeatlessMondays hashtag and thought, 'Hey, I could do that!' (Read eatright.org article.) Cutting out eating meat one day a week will improve your diet with eating more nutritious and less carcinogenic products from the earth, decrease greenhouse gas emissions (GHE) and save a life. Those lambs are pretty cute, right? Those Dodo videos on Facebook has me tearing up sometimes. I know I'm not alone. However, motivation and execution are two different things, but I wanted to at least try and that's half the bottle.

I tried a few times to have Meatless Mondays as part of my life but in all honestly, I would forget or just would really want a bit of that steak! Major fail right? As of late, I only had about 40 minutes for my break. I had a call to make and then I had to eat something before I turned hangry. I didn't have a Snickers bar to save the day. I'm more of a Kit Kat kind of girl anyways. After that call, I stopped into Flying Ninja and ordered two orders of sake nigiri. Before I got my order, I gave the server my credit card, quickly eyed the big pieces of salmon, dipped them in the ponzu sauce, devoured them, paid and left. Then realized I had meat! Gah!

So let's try this again! Today, I started my day off with my newest addiction, an Oikos Protein greek yogurt with granola topics. Tasty!  I had french toast for breakfast at Denny's. I got the eggs over hard and ordered bacon. EHHHH!!! I know, I didn't eat either and got them to go. By the way, the Denny's at the Holiday Inn at Fisherman's Wharf has San Francisco prices. Dear God, I've never paid for so much at a Denny's before. For lunch, I went to Cioppino's and it's nice that they have a $9.95 Fisherman's Wharf employee lunch menu and ordered the Chicken Alfredo. Double EHHHH! I didn't eat the chicken and it was such a large portion, I had to get the rest to go. So now I am all ready for dinner tonight. No meat.

The Bad Girls Club & Love Games, Sarah Michaels, IS the Wellness Shot!

I became a fan of the Bad Girls Club when a Season 3 marathon was airing (in 2008, is it?) and I just had the television on while I was doing chores around the house. Every now and then I’d hear “*BEEP* you, you *BEEP*ing *BEEP*!”, some screaming and “This is the Amber Show” do-do-do-do-do-Doo! Eventually I was glued to the screen and not doing chores anymore and spent most of the day laughing and thinking “ohnoshedidn’t!” They were NUTS! I don’t think I could live my life with a camera following me around and for the whole world to see and criticize. But I kept on watching and when fights broke out, my boyfriend would hear the screaming from another room and ask “WHAT are you watching?!?” I am not one for reality television. MTV had it with The Real World with Pedro, Puck, Pam and whoever… when it was in San Francisco. (GO GIANTS!) With all these Big Brother, The Bachelorette and other shows popping up, there were just too many to pick and choose from to watch. And I was never a

My Most Engaging Post Yet

Christmas is just days away. A storm in the Bay Area has passed. Two holiday parties were a success. But these past 18 hours have been a whirlwind for sure. Yesterday evening, after dinner, in our home office discussing the home we are in process of purchasing, holding a gray box from The Shane Company , my boyfriend (wearing a black long sleeved shirt and his Adidas pants with white paint stains from painting the condo earlier this year, and I in jeans, my Toby Keith blue tank top from his Las Vegas “ I Love This Bar ” restaurant, my blue SFSU zipper up sweatshirt, and my brown childhood blanket draped over my lap) got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. “Yeah.” I hugged him tight and kissed him repeatedly. He was shaking and said “I can’t believe you said ‘yes.” I couldn’t stop smiling and crying and saying “I love you.” And I couldn’t help but laugh when I called him my fiancé for the first time. Wow, we’re really engaged! Since we were in the process of negotiati

It's Gonna Be May

I'm sure you've seen it. If you have a friend named May, the *Nsync memes are overtaking your Facebook and Instagram feed, right? Tomorrow ends the month of April and I was 10 posts behind the daily blog post challenge. For this Monday Motivation post, I will keep going until I reach that 30 count. Better late than never! May is turning out to be a busy month. Not surprising for this One Busy Bee. I finally have a set schedule for my part time job as a Concierge at the Argonaut Hotel at Fisherman's Wharf. I really do like the job, what I'm doing, the hotel and staff, and how the time spent here contributes to my experience in the travel and tourism industry, all the while continuing in the hospitality industry as well. Working only about 30 hours a week, it will finally allow me to schedule workouts, get in some sort of sleeping pattern and work on my business as a Travel Agent . There is so much to do! So far since I received the month's work schedule
