What's on your plate?

[lylysa]

Hello there, ladies and gents!

Keeping in line with all the fun and interactive threads asking about your most recent halls, items you have your eyes on, what you're currently wearing, what's your hair routine, and more, I've decide to branch out and ask:

"What's on your plate?"

The beauty world doesn't just stop at skin care and cosmetics, it also goes hand in hand with your overall health and well-being, so with that, I'm curious to see what we're all chowing down and snacking on be it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, or inbetween!

For those with apps that help count calories or to those who just want to keep a log, here's a place to share, possibly find and share some recipes, and even tips on maintaining a balanced diet.

Don't just share food items, but even drinks! I'm a huge fan of tea and at least have a cup of green tea a day (anti-oxidants) and drink plenty of water.

For lunch today, I had:

-Brown rice

-Steamed egg

-Steamed red snapper with green onion, sesame oil, and black pepper

-Gai lan (it's a type of Chinese vegetable/greens)

Now, tell me, Beauty Talk world, what do you have? 😄

For my measly everyday exercise habits of everday life:

around 4 miles or so my fitbit said I shaved off the extra point something and just went with the 4 in this comment no need to get all techie on myself!! I run around like a chicken with my head cut off at work sometimes not to mention I had to pick stuff up from another firm make a trip to the post office for work as well yada yada and actually believe it or not this wasn't a very busy active day for me at work usually by the end of the work day I log at least 5-6 miles not including my wrap up walk at the end of the day.

then today I went around the lake by my house for about 1 mile but it's something like more around 1.7 but whose counting?! anyways my problem mainly is that I don't do enough cardio and aerobics I need to fit that in on top of my walking sometimes i feel with the way I eat so much carbs and sugars sometimes. and how i choose to walk instead of get more active I feel I am just choosing the easy way out but oh well one step at a time I guess for now LOL

Ginger ale! I'm a sucker for that too!!! 🙂 Every time I go out and a place has ginger ale I order it since I don't normally buy it just to have (I'd go through it way too fast). I love mixing it with orange juice and even cranberry juice like a spritzer!

Currently things that aren't the most healthy for me, just got done moving and getting groceries and clearing the kitchen tomorrow, so delicious healthiness is on the way!

[drrragon]

moving is quite possibly the worst activity mankind ever invented!  I think you should treat yourself to a nice beauty item or maybe an ice cream sundae 🙂

I had 2 lobster tail on saturday, 2 on sunday, and 1 in the morning 😉

[lylysa]

This isn't really anything on my plate but I would like to confess that I have become a Jalepeno Cheetos addict.

[lylysa]

They have those?!?!?!?! O_O I feel like I've been living under a rock now!

[lylysa]

Today for lunch it's leftover tuna skillet casserole with broccoli and mushrooms!

Super easy to make! Just toss everything into the skillet and let it simmer away!

[roxystar4]

For dinner I went super unhealthy (but super delish) and made a Doritos Taco Bake! Basically layers of the following: taco shells ( broken in half) topped with taco meat, cheese, and Doritos! Nom nom nom

[lylysa]

Unhealthy but so yummy looking!

[kd006]

Umm... I'm about to start drooling.. That looks so good!!

[DTalksAll]

Mmmmmm You just gave me a fantastic, non-healthy Taco Tuesday idea for next week. 🙂 

[starletta8]

I went for sloth for dinner.

What's pure sloth?

Burger King. DELIVERY.

I love America- where one can get Whoppers and Cinnabun delivered to your front door. 😛
