Deadbeat Dieter

So.. Obvs I’ve been a deadbeat dieter for like the last forever months.

It’s just been whatever.

And that’s why I’m here:

Or that’s where I was yesterday morning anyway.

I decided the only way to get muh head back in the game was to cut out all the nonsense.

Meaning zero to the zip junk food, carbs, or sweets.

Tough love baby.

This is what I ate yesterday:

20130618-203154.jpg

Uh yep.. That’s McDonald’s egg, sausage, & cheese. It taste like it looked… But I got it down. Drive thru is all I had time for. That was an 8 count nugget from Chick Fil A. Seriously my vice is Chick Fil A mayonnaise!

But I logged everyone of those bad boys!

20130618-203817.jpg

This morning I only lost a pound but hey I’ll take it!

20130618-203953.jpg

Today was eggs and bacon (real stuff) for breakfast, obvs you already know I had meatballs for lunch, and chicken cordon bleu for dinner (box stuff from the freezer.

Hopefully tomorrow the scale gives me a little light at the end of the tunnel so I don’t throw a hissy fit and stuff my face with cake.

Subway: The Sandwich Nazis

So today I went to Subway…

EAT FRESH.

Am I the only one that HAS to say it after I say Subway?

Nah…didn’t think so.

So N E Wayz (middle school throwback) …I asked for a foot long meatball marinara with the meatballs on the side.

Like I always do.

At every freakin Subway in East Texas.

The lady looked at me like I just asked her to murder a baby hippo and then eat it’s eyelashes one by one.

happy-baby-hippo

At first she looked confused…then very irritated by my request.

Like it is SO DAMN HARD.

So she was all…I don’t know how that’s ganna work.

So I said…well…you put the meatballs in a cup…like your soup cup with a lid.

GASPPPPPP! The audacity of me to even suggest such a thing!

So the lady SERIOUSLY all pissed off grabs a cup and tosses TWO flippin meatballs in it and then is all…

I was like…

I said…well at all the other Subways they either use a bigger cup or put 4 meatballs in two cups. She was all attitude saying that was the only cup size they had and proceeded to add two more to the cup that 30 sec before could only fit 2.

So I had her add some shredded cheese on top of the meatballs. She set the two cups & bread down to hand off to the vegetable lady.

Big boobed Full attitude Vegetable Lady took one look at my stuff and said…

I said….it’s a foot long meatball marina. She was like…well you going to put some vegetables or something on that bread? I said…no, I want it just like that.

She said…well then I can’t sell you that bread. That would be like just selling you bread. Just bread.

I was like….HUH????? But you’re saying if I add vegetables or cheese or something to the bread then you can sell it to me as a sandwhich?

She looked at me like…DUH and said yeah.

I said…FINE…put some cheese on the bread.

So I get up there to pay and she tells the girl to ring me up for a foot long sandwich with EXTRA CHEESE!!

DUBYA. FREAKING. TEEEEEE. EFFFFF!!!!!

Then I went into full on freak the fuck out mode.

Needlesss to say they took off the extra cheese charge.

SERIOUSLY you flippin sandwich nazis!!!

God forbid you request a sandwich where one thing is out of place. Like you just blew their mind & fried their brain from making them stray from the sandwich chart.

Like I’m the FIRST PERSON EVER on a low carb diet saving the bread for later!

If I had ordered just the meatballs…they would still charge me for a full sandwich…so I got the bread to take home for the kids later. BECAUSE I PAID FOR IT.

So here’s my sandwich with the loads of extra cheese I HAD to get on the bread.

photo

I scraped alll that cheese off into a sandwich ziploc bag.

That’s a lotta freakin cheese.

Yes….I was ticked off enough about the whole experience to blog about it.

Yes…I just wrote a whole post on a sandwich.

I LOVE to order these every time they go on sale! I usually will stock up on Christmas return labels…or order with just the kid’s names (leave address off) and then I can stick them to any and everything my kids have floating around! It’s so much better than writing their name with a marker…it looks nicer & plus I can peel it off when they are done & resell….like books, bags, lunch kits, games ect ect ect.  These labels would also make a great gift for a Housewarming or Wedding Shower! Gotta think outside the box ya’ll!

Now that I’ve shared some great deals with ya’ll…check this out…

My Origami Owl stuff came in! I’m stoked! I love it alllll!

Muh fav quotes from the vid…

“So don’t be shocked if it’s not red down there I do dye it black on purpose & also perm it.”

“I was actually in this exact position last night.”

“Is it too late to get a design? Like a Harry Potter lightning bolt or something?”

“I think I’m like 4-6 lbs lighter”

Oh & a big fat thanks to The Bee for getting me addicted to some Stevie Ryan.

I die from the hilarity.

Totally. Addicted.

The day my kid found my blog..

Daynie: Oh yeah mama I checked out your blog.

Me: You what?

Daynie: And I really like the lazy mom meals.

Me: How did you know how to go to it?

Daynie: I just googled mommy edwards dot com on Daddy’s tablet.

Me: How do you even know how to get to Google?

Daynie: It says right here Google….

Me: But how do you even know what Google does?

Daynie: Because when you and Daddy were arguing about that thing the other day Daddy told you to Google it.  And plus one day at school my teacher used Google on the smart board to search for a game we were going to do.

Me: So exactly how much of my blog did you see?

Daynie: I looked all around.

Me: Stay of my blog.

This is very problematic to say the least.

Easy Crockpot Chicken and Dumplins

Lazy-Mom-Meals-1

Crock

 

Gather the Goods:

20130524-174138.jpg

 

 

Throw it all in the crockpot.

20130524-174215.jpg

20130524-174248.jpg

Give it a little stir.

20130524-174333.jpg

Put the lid on it and cook on high 4-6 hours or low for 8.

20130524-174416.jpg

When it’s all cooked and smellin yummy like this…

20130524-174527.jpg

Take the chicken out.

20130524-174556.jpg

And shred it up.

20130524-174626.jpg

I use two forks and it shreds really easy. You could prob even do this with the chicken still in the pot.. But I just prefer to take it out when I do it.

20130524-174730.jpg

Then put your shredded chicken back in the pot.

20130524-174823.jpg

And give it another little stir.

20130524-174903.jpg

Take your 4 biscuits and either tear them into pieces or cut them with a knife.

Whatever your inner OCD or lack thereof will allow.

20130524-175018.jpg

Just make sure it’s about 9-12 pieces per biscuit.

Throw them in the crockpot too.

20130524-175219.jpg

And give it a little stir.

20130524-175126.jpg

Go do some laundry and let cook another 30 min to an hour. Mine cooked an hour. Obvs not because of laundry though. Dance moms was on.

20130524-175532.jpg

Since you just need four biscuits for the Dumplins I baked the other four biscuits to eat with them.

20130524-175806.jpg

This turned out so good! It was really easy to throw together!

20130524-175828.jpg

A little pepper on top made it perfecto!

I finished the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy.

In a week.

andddd….

although I was rather CONSUMED by the whole thing. It was actually quite hard to make it through them.

Sooo many inconsistencies and bad writing left me rather irritated.

Do books not get proof read by the publishers before they go to print?

I read somewhere that this was the author’s first book. That explains a lot.

Like how it felt as though she was trying to fit EVERY single plot, drama, fantasy, action, sex position, scenerio, experience, and feeling into this trilogy.

Although much of it was pretty predictable and I could see it all coming….some was like…okay now, don’t you think that’s a tad bit over the top & unpredictable?

Like seriously lady…save some for your next book. You got nothing left.

But hey….

Apparently by the abundance of ecards available on the topic…I’m not the only one driven insane by Mrs. Jame’s writing.

Anddddd….

And then I found this tumblr.

And that’s just on the first book in the series.

*Sigh*

After my inner goddess & my sub conscience got into a bitch fight…they decided to agree on one thing….

At least we can look forward to the only reason anyone read this book coming alive on the big screen.

Thanks for that E.L. James.

I’m sure the movie will be butchered.

But hey…as long as it has a hot guy, restraints, & a flogger….I’m in.
