  1. Been craving ice cream & found this. It is delicious & much lighter than other brands: 

    Lactose Free Vanilla | Breyers®

  2. Finally found corn dogs that I actually like. These are AMAZING!

      These tasted fantastic with some hot mustard :) Obviously, having things like these too often won't be happening due to the high sodium content but once in a while with some fruit or a large salad will be fine. I'm just happy to be having great luck finding healthier items that honestly taste good. 

      A coworker of mine just had a heart attack & she said that clogged arteries were a major factor & another coworker of mine just got off bed rest due to her blood pressure being elevated due to gaining quite a bit of weight. I'm really glad that I've started investing more into improving my health. 

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

  5. I just made a delicious spread for my toast that can also be used as a dip for sliced fruit using this:

    PBfit_30OZ_87_1-e1527011658527.png

    I mixed a few tablespoons of PB Fit, some skim milk, a dash of cinnamon, a dash of tumeric, & a drizzle of honey. I'm going to let it set in the fridge overnight to thicken up a bit & then have it in the morning on some whole wheat toast alongside an egg white omelette, a few slices of turkey bacon, & some fresh fruit. Breakfast of champions confirmed! I put the link to it in case anyone wanted to look at the nutrition information or get more recipe ideas :)

      Not gonna lie, "meatless meat" has always been questionable in my mind.  Not totally against the idea you understand, just... highly skeptical.  The veggies are ok.  Not a big fan of broccoli either but in small amounts it is fine.  Drop a small slice of fish or chicken on that rice to make a donburi bowl out of it and I'd make a meal of it, no problem.

      I was too at first. But I've tried several brands & pretty much enjoy all of them. The things I have to watch out for are high fat, sugar, & sodium content on these types of products. But since I plan all my meals, I know how much I can have & just go from there. :)

      After dinner I wanted a snack. So I got a few leaves of this lettuce that I found at Wal-Mart & put a little light salad dressing in a small container & dipped the leaves in & snacked on them. I think this is going to be something that I keep going because it was enough to satisfy my snack craving without ruining all the effort I'd put in during the day to watch what I ate. 

      Now someone might be thinking: Ruth, why are you sharing all this? 

      Because I know I'm not the only one in the world who wants to get healthier or lose weight & maybe no one else in AF is doing this but maybe they know someone who is & maybe that person's struggling & could use some helpful tips or advice from someone else who understands how they feel & appreciates how hard they're trying even if they don't know them personally. 

      That's why. 

  8. Tried Hawaiian passion fruit jelly for the first time this morning & it is absolutely amazing!

    Aww yeah...it's Burger Time!

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

      I've been in a great mood ever since, actually. You're very thoughtful.

  19. About to curl up with a Stephen King novel & a glass of warm milk.

    As if that milk's gonna keep the nightmares at bay...

      Did you learn nothing from watching Shiki at night? 😱

      Why do you do this to yourself? 😂

       @Ohiotaku The book I'm reading is called The Outsider & it is about the absolutely horrific murder of a little boy in a small town & the way his body was found & what the killer did to him was so brutal I had to put the book down about  20 pages in. My goodness HOW does Stephen King get any sleep with all that madness running around in his head!?!

      One has to wonder sometimes.

      Thanks for the warning :P 

  20. About to watch the latest episode of Fruits Basket. Who wants to cry their eyes out with me?

      I seriously wonder why she is the family head when she is like the worst of them all

      Exactly! How did she get that position? 

  21. All done with Elfen Lied & wow, what a great anime! I'm going to finish Another today & then move on to Beserk or When They Cry.

      Might want to go for When They Cry first to gradually beef up the scares until ya reach Berserk.

      @Kity I wish you were here to watch it with me *pouts cutely*

  22. Alright, so the skin from the red grapes that I used in my smoothie earlier gave it a slightly bitter after taste so I'm not sure I'll be doing that again. I did however pick up some frozen diced avocado, mango, & pineapple & plan to mix those together with some nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt, a dash of cinnamon & tumeric, a teaspoon of chia seeds, & a little skim milk to thin it out a bit. Should be pretty good. I'm determined to make these healthy smoothies a fixture in my everyday eating habits.

    1. RuthisianCodex

      RuthisianCodex

      I just tried out the avocado, mango, pineapple & it is absolutely delicious! So smooth, creamy, & slightly sweet with no weird after taste. This combo is a keeper!

      the skins of different fruits are actually quite healthy even though they taste bitter, which I also dislike. props to you though for taking the time to make these things. I'd purchase some if it wouldn't take weeks to be shipped, might give me the essential vitamins I am probably lacking 😂 

    3. RuthisianCodex

      RuthisianCodex

      Yeah, I try not to take the skin off my fruits if I can avoid it because you're right, there are so many good nutrients in there. And normally grapes don't give me any issues but it could have been the fact that these were frozen that had something to do with it. I'm all about boosting my immune system these days so I'm getting all the natural vitamins that I can.

  23. Alright, well I managed to get *some* sleep last night after checking my bedroom thoroughly to make sure there were no demonic entities or vampiric intruders. Geez, I never would have thought that an anime about vampires would freak me out so much but the animation in Shiki is just so damn unnerving! 

    1. Ohayotaku

      As I mentioned before it reminds me a lot of the old Salem’s Lot miniseries (1979) I watched as a kid which gave me nightmares. I don’t usually “horror” anime scary, but Shiki is an exceptiion.

    2. RuthisianCodex

      RuthisianCodex

      YES! Salem's Lot is exactly what it reminds me of! I read the book & there were parts that really scared the hell out of me!

  24. Amazing how quickly some good conversation can turn your whole attitude around.
