OOO By the way!!!!!! Here's a note I got from one of my closest friends.. on relationships.. thought it was frigging awesome.. thought i'd share!

**I STARTED WRITING THIS ON FEB 1, 2009. BUT THENNN...I NEVER FINISHED. HERE'S JUST A SAMPLE.

Ladies:

I decided to write a short (hopefully!) , sweet note about this book/movie. It was written by Greg and Liz.

Its great for all women to read/watch...whether you're single, taken, married, dating, etc.

Here are some important parts throughout each chapter.

he's just not that into you if he's not asking you out...
Because if he likes you, trust me, he will ask you out...

If you can find him, then he can find you. If he wants to find you, he will.

Men don't forget how much they like you. So put the phone down.

You are good enough to be asked out :)

he's just not that into you if he's not calling you...
Men know how to use the phone.

"Oh sure, they say they're busy. They say that they didn't have even a moment in their insanely busy day to pick up the phone. It was just that crazy. Bullshit. With the advent of cell phones and speed dialing it is almost impossible not to call you. Sometimes I call people from my pants pocket when I don't even mean to...If I were into you, you would be the bright spot in my horribly busy day. Which could be a day that I would never be too busy to call you."

The big question here is, "Is it okay for a guy to forget to call me?" I'm saying to you, "No." If I like you, I don't forget you, ever. Don't you want the guy who'll forget about all the other things in his life before he forgets about you?

If he's not calling you, it's because you are not in his mind.

If he creates expectations for you, and then doesn't follow through on little things, he will do the same for big things.

"Busy" is another word for "asshole." "Asshole" is another word for the guy you're dating.

he's just not that into you if he's not dating you...
"Hanging out" is not dating.

If you don't know where the relationship is going, it's okay to pull over and ask.

There's a guy out there who will want to tell everyone that he's your boyfriend.

**AT THE MOMENT, I'M LETTING A FRIEND READ MY COPY OF THE BOOK :)

wooooO day 2!!!!

I'm soooooooo completely exhausted.. but pumped up the nose hole!

This morning I got up at 7am.. to do some hw.. then at around 8:30am I jetted to the gym.. again.. I did 45 minutes of hard cardio..
15 minutes on the stairmaster: -111 cal
20 minutes on the ellipticals: -183 cal
10 minutes on the bike: -108 cal.

Total burned: -402 calories
After cardio, I grabbed some 5 pound dumb bells and started doing some tricep/ bicep workouts.. some squats.. and WALAAA finito =)

I slept in the sauna again for 15 minutes.. oo.. it felt so good! I really feel like my skin is getting better by the day because of it!

Anywho.. so I haaveee a confession to make.. and you guys probably won't be so happy.. BUT!!!!!!!! on the bright side I have good news.

Not only am i dieting & exercising.. but i'm quiting smoking. I know i know.. it might sound bad to you guys.. but it's really hard not to smoke here because of the stress level. I mean.. any of you who've worked in the food industry know how hellish it can be.. That's school here everyday, although we enjoy it still =). But yeah. I'm quiting today.. and so far.. it's been hard as heck. I mean right when i woke up i was craving.. then right after i worked out i was craving.. and nowwww that i finished my cereal i'm craving.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I can do it! I can do it! I want to become healthy and active.. and get rid of all my bad habits. Not only like my health habits but just habits in general. I don't want to procrastinate, I don't want to be lazy, I want to be proactive and do what I say I'm going to do.

I know it takes time.. and it's a day by day effort but I'm so determined to change and become better.. you have no idea =)

PLUSSSSSSSSs I have a pretty good incentive. I can't tell you ladies what it is yet. But talk about smiles. I'm pretty determined to reach my goals for the incentive. I CAN DO IT I CAN DO IT!

K getting ready for class =) Update you guys tomorrow!
Wish me luck! It's my first kitchen class (I'll be learning everything to do with soups & sauces)

Oh yeah! BTW. What I ate for breakfast/lunch.
1 Cup Whole wheat cheerios w. 1% fat milk. = 220 cal
1 macintosh apple = 70 cal
Total consumed: 290

What I plan to eat for snack:
Chewy granola bar= 100 cal

Dinner.
Greek Grilled Chicken Salad with onions, olives, feta cheese, tomatoes, bell peppers with a vinegerette= (roughly about 500 including dressing)

OKey dokey...

so with that aside.. what have i been up too!?

Wellll i started FISH class today... (and i also finished MEAT class).. it's a 7 day class for 6-8hours straight.. on everything there has to do with fish.. I'm pretty much in a fish room.. where i practice gutting.. fileting.. scaling.. and cutting fish into portion cuts. Part of the class.. is me trying to ID all the different fishes (haha.. imagine that... so there's nemo.. and dory.. and.. hmm sebastian!! LOL).. and starting tomorrow we do fish tastings.. (we get to eat 13 diff types of caviar per student = $130 worth.. lobster.. different crabs.. etc..!) So yeah!

Today was the first time i EVER laid my hands on a whole raw fish to cut.. My mom usually does all that stuff so i was nervous as heck.. But it turned out great! My chef complimented my knife skills (i didn't know i had any LOL) =)! He thought i had lots of experience in cutting fish.. which he thought WRONG but.. thats the beauty of hands.. I LOVEEEEEEEEEEE working with my hands. I feel as though.. when i work with my hands.. just yeah.. pure euphoria. Like CERAMICS! i took 3 years of ceramics and i LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEED it.. anything with hands! its so soothing.

yeah so that's class.. the downfall for fish class.. well.. i stink of fish.. BADLY LOL! my roommates have already been yelling at me and it's only been 1 day LOL. YOU BETTER TAKE A SHOWER as soon as you get in. LOL. -__-; =)

Oh yeah! So i went to boston for spring break.. and on the way back i stayed the night with Tiffany (eyecon1219) :) we went to sing karaoke.. just us two girls... sang our BUTTS off... then we ate in chinatown the next day and had some bomb diggity ice cream!
