Just finished School Live! & loved it. Now on to Hell Girl  

Making onigiri for the first time today. I'll be making a few with lemon pepper tuna & a few with salted plum. I think as a fun hobby I'm going to start making onigiri to celebrate some of my favorite anime characters. 

Finally able to join my first Simulwatch! YAY! *grabs all sorts of yummy treats* 

In less than 5 episodes, Dororo has become one of my top 5 favorite anime of all time. I am just loving everything about this series so far. 

Just bought an awesome new pair of heeled boots so you know what that means.....

A week or two of walking around in them at home so that I hopefully don't slip & break my neck out in public, that's what! 

Oh my God...I summoned the Queen Bee in Terraria by mistake & that boss battle scared the HELL out of me! She literally growls, snarls, & roars at you while coming at you at the speed of light, knocking you all over the place. My goodness! 

Clams Casino is one of my favorite electronic musicians. Think I'm gonna create some standing ab workouts around their songs. 

Finally got back to Bleach. On episode 129. I'm really digging this arc. 

Broiling lobster tails and shrimp this weekend

Haven't broiled lobster in ages & because I don't want to screw them up, I found a simple recipe to follow:

Woke up this morning completely sore from the changes I made to some of my ab & glute exercises. Another week or so & I'll be used to it but in the meantime...ouch!

I did manage to get my steps in today but not much else. Oh well, if there's one thing I've learned through all this it's that when my body needs a rest day, just take it & hush lol.

Decided to add a few different exercises to my lower body routine.

I...am...hurting...

But by next week I will be used to it. I also got one of those fitness balls to use for my ab work & am also looking into more upper body exercises besides arm curls & push ups. 

All in all, the workouts are still going great & I'm still able to maintain 20,000 steps a day. I think I will stick with this until the end of the year & then in January drop my steps back down to 15,000 a day & increase my weight lifting for 3 months, then switch back, & continue that all year. 

I'm starting to tone up nicely, so I'm excited to see what further progress I will have made by the end of the year.

What better victory feast to celebrate my defeating the Eye of Cthullu in Terraria than fresh salmon soaked in a lemon butter herb sauce & then wrapped in foil & roasted in the oven & served with steamed vegetables? Nothing....absolutely nothing.

Finished the first season of Natsume's Book of Friends last night & enjoyed it so much that I've started season 2 this morning. I really like the depth of Natsume's character & the growth of his bond with Madara. 

I took my measurements on August 1st & again this morning & I've made some great progress so I'm very proud of myself. I don't have any set time frame for reaching my health goals but I do strive to make more significant progress by the end of the year.

Natsume's Book of Friends is awesome!

Pan seared salmon in a lemony wine sauce with some steamed carrots? Sure, why not? 

Squats & hip raises are going to be the death of me....

Found some lingonberry jam at the market today. I think there will be some homemade Swedish crepes to accompany a lovely European inspired breakfast in my not too distant future. 

For some reason, I've been in this type of mood all day: 

I'm experiencing a major Asian food craving so I think this weekend I'll make soy ginger broiled salmon, shrimp & broccoli stir fry, steamed rice & for dessert, this:

Oh yeah, it is THAT serious. 

I just made some spicy baked tilapia, roasted root vegetables, & sauteed corn & mushrooms. My kitchen smells amazing! 

Tonight's dinner was some baked tilapia with roasted Brussels sprouts, onions, & butternut squash. I am now dancing around like a lunatic thanks to @EvaUnit69 

Day 1 of me working out again:

You know, it's a darn shame that I have to drive to an entirely different city just to find produce that doesn't look it fell out of a rubbish bin. On the bright side, I did find a wider variety of fruits for snacking this week: apples, pluots, red plums, pears, peaches, & nectarines.

I also plan to get some grapefruit, lemons, apricots, & grapes but I'll have to drive even further away for those so I might just go in the morning. 

The best part of this is that now that I eat fruit so often I've begun to crave it instead of things like potato chips, cookies, etc. & I'm not too far from reaching my next weight & fitness goals, so this is very encouraging. 

Ventured out to the grocery store today & found some new vegetarian/vegan goodies to try: 

At  54 grams of fat per pot pie(not to mention a ton of sodium), I opted not to get those but dang they look good lol.
