Jenny and The Color Red

Today I had my first meal with my new love of my life... Jenny. Breakfast was 1/2 cup of skim milk, french toast with berries and lite syrup. I was still hungry after that, so I drank a ton of water. Two hours later I ate my morning snack: a cup of pears, 6 0z. no fat yogurt, and my vitamins. I felt better after that. I think during the week, I'm going to switch up the breakfasts and dinners. I need more protein to go into my teaching day with.

The meeting at Jenny Craig went well yesterday. I'd even lost 2 lbs. during that week I ate a ton!! Go figure. Last night I also went so far as to break the plastic seal on the new exercise video I picked up 3 weeks ago. The "Belly Twins Indi-Hop". Hip-hop and Bhangra dance combined. I love Bhangra Music, so I figured this would be a good FUN thing for me. The music was awesome, and although I couldn't do all the stuff they were doing at the rate they were doing it, I still broke a sweat and felt relaxed and proud when the cool down was over.

So I was in Target yesterday looking at kitchen knives and thinking of my ex-husband...



but not like that :P I need some new steak knives, and the old woodblock and knife set that I have were a wedding gift 11 years ago.

Red is my new power color. New as in... within the last year. I am slowly redoing all my kitchen accents in red. And it all started with a cool Oster blender from Target. The candy apple red metallic sheen just caught my eye and kept it. Is red in appliances like red in cars? Is this a sign that I'm going through a midlife crisis and want the sporty fast appliance? I dunno, but man it makes me actually *want* to walk into my kitchen.

Today I was browsing after picking out my new red dish drying rack (yep, my old one reminded me of my ex), and I kept seeing cool items with that wonderful red color. Toaster. Toaster-oven. And Microwave!! hmm... I don't *need* a new microwave, but this one is red, only $69.99 and the old one also reminds me of my ex! hahaha

Fortunately for my bank account, I was quick diverted by the kitchen knives. They also had some in red, but I didn't want a whole set for $49.99, and I didn't like the cheap end stuff. So, for now, I'll pass on new knives.
