I have tried Tofu Cheesecake

I have finally reached my limit for Tofu Love!  It's the cheesecake!  It was ok and had a nice creamy texture and LOOKED like cheesecake but wasn't the same.  I do have to say it satisfied my sweet craving since I didn't want to eat anything else till the next day!

So have been a bit remiss in my diet blogging

So I am back on my Freshology Diet which is working wonders.  I'm losing weight, feeling satiated and really enjoying the diverse offerings.  My plan is to keep a journal with photos of the portions so I can replicate them once I'm back to eating my own cooking!

So for breakfast I had the Whole Wheat Pancakes with Whole Wheat Pancakes w/Mango Passion Fruit Coulis (fruit topping sort of chunky to add a zing of flavor) and at only 350 calories we CAN have pancakes just 2 silver dollar size!! lol As opposed to the big as plates smothered in butter and real maple syrup that I treat myself with at the Griddle on Sunset (BEST pancakes EVER).  Next time I'll get the one pancake and split it in four pieces!

My lunch was really filling and satisfying too.  It was the BBQ Chicken Quesidilla with Mango Salsa.  The trick is that they used a wheat tortilla (very tasty) and had a little Jack Cheese (strong taste so you can get away with a little).  Phew was scared I could never have my beloved burritos again but will have to practice portion control and of course skip the sour cream!


I've attached photos of my food frozen and heated so you can see what the portions look like.  I hope that your enjoying my diet journey and will be with me when in June I start to cook my own food.  Hmmm does Freshology have a cookbook????

Jumping the Broom

I saw the new movie Jumping the Broom tonight and thought it was amusing.  It's an OK movie with a good cast that is a bit predictable but did offer a few laugh.  They had some great one liners all about how black people's foibles.

Am LOVING Shea Moisture Product Line for my curly hair!

I bought a ton of shea moisture products when Walgreens had the intro BOGO offer.  I usually do a mini rinse in the morning with the Anti-Breakage Hair Masque Yucca & Baobab as I take a shower.  I rinse it out and leave my hair dripping wet to begin my styling routine.  First of all I spray my hair with reconstructive elixer (roots & hair), than I take the together the restorative conditioners (thicken hair & orig) and blend them to smooth through my hair.  Just a pump from each bottle.  I also take a small finger full of the happy to have curl enhancing smoothie to define my curls & keep it from frizzing up.  I finish up with a glycerin gel to seal in the moisture and allow it to dry naturally.  It leaves my hair so soft and curly.  It LOOKS great and I'm really happy to have discovered this line.  I'm happy to be using a small business owned by POC that uses nautural ingrediants AND is so moderately priced!  I find that walgreens carries more of the products but charges $3 more than Target.  I will next talk about the body products once I pick them up in the next week or so.

As you can see from my photos my hair looks super shiny, the curls are defined and NOT frizzy!!

My new product routine that I'm using daily.  I'm SOOO happy that the weather is warm enough to leave the apt wet and can dry in the sun.

I just tried the streetstrider

Oh my gosh I just tried the StreetStrider this Saturday.  It was fun but hard.  I'm not the most coordinated person on earth and so it will be a major learning experience for me to be able to really use it for a major workout.  I played on it for an hour and have the basics down but have to get the rhythm/movement down.  But it's been added to my routine of working out since I've decided to workout more 'socal' style this year.  I don't want to work out in a gym but instead to enjoy the summer sun this year so will be investing in TONS of sunscreen.
