Blue Cheese Chicken Burgers

Since I didn't have class or straight-up studying to do tonight, I opted to cook myself dinner. Since I am trying to be really good about what I am eating, I consulted my food bible, the Weight Watchers app. I have to say, I was pretty proud of these six point burgers, that are meant to emulate chicken wings. I did burn them a bit using my brand new grill pan, but they were still moist and delicious, and had a Cajun flair to them.

Totally unrelated, I found Manischewitz Mandelins (aka soup nuts) at the store today. They are quite yummy and low in points. Yay for me! Also picked up a copy of Shape magazine to give myself some added motivation.

With doing all of this, I am down 4.8 since January 23rd. Woot!

Feeling Accomplished

I had had it with work mentally today, so instead, I decided to organize my desk. I am pretty please with the results. I guess overtime + midterms = Stephanie needs to clean.

Anyways, here is the finished product, and now you know where I spend 40 hours every week.

It's been a long while...

So, I just had an epiphany that I should really start using my blog again. My laptop went down on me in December, and I guess work has take the priority. Work, work, work. Who would have ever thought I would become a workaholic. But alas, that is what I am.

I've also been looking at advancing in my career. How best to do that you might ask? Well, the answer seems to be pointing me towards Business School. Right now, I am seeing if I have the stomach for it. Take an Intro to Business class at the College of San Mateo, a local JC that seems to fit my needs for the moment. Side note: It is amazing to me how some things never change. I have been out of college 5 years, and I thought students would be on their laptops in class, professors would email you their lectures if done on a PowerPoint. But no, write furiously, and don't listen to what I have to say. Just write, write, write. Seems counterproductive to me, but what do I know. I only have my BA, and am apparently, a glutton for punishment. Thank goodness I am on the semester system, I don't think I could handle quarters at the moment.

In another avenue to keep myself busy, I have started attending Toastmasters with Erica to try and up my public speaking game. Occassionally, I have been known to stutter, and not be able to completely construct what I want to say in a way that makes sense to the listener. So alas, I am going to better myself by doing this.

Trying not to overprogram myself, but I feel like I need to do some things so I don't become a complete hermit. Maybe a workout class a couple of days a week is next. We shall see.

I'm also trying to be serious about weight loss. I want to be at my goal by my 30th birthday. Which still seems far off, but clearly is not. I will have to get it in gear. I've been doing this since the beginning of this month, and have already lost 4, and am feeling rather productive about it.

As for everything else, I am taking it a step at a time, and hopefully this blog will kind of help me a little bit on my journey, so I am not internalizing it all the time.
