"Hi, Mom! What's going on?

Why are you taking my picture?"

"I'm not so sure about this."

"Let me outta here!"

Creation - A New Twist

In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and populated the Earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow

and red vegetables of all kinds,

so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.

Then using God's great gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream and Krispy Creme Donuts.

And Satan said, "You want chocolate with that?"

And Man said, "Yes!" and Woman said, "and as long as you're at it, add some sprinkles."

And they gained 10 pounds.

And Satan smiled.

And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman might keep the figure that Man found so fair.

And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat, and sugar from the cane and combined them.

And Woman went from size 6 to size 14.

So God said, "Try my fresh green salad."

And Satan presented Thousand-Island Dressing, buttery croutons and garlic toast on the side.
And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.

God then said, "I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them."

And Satan brought forth deep fried fish and chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter.

And Man gained more weight and his cholesterol

went through the roof.

God then created a light, fluffy white cake, named it "Angel Food Cake," and said, "It is good."

Satan then created chocolate cake and named it "Devil's Food Cake."

God then brought forth running shoes so that His children might lose those extra pounds.

And Satan gave cable TV with a remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels.

And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering blue light and gained pounds.

Then God brought forth the potato,

naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition.

And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them.

And Man gained pounds.

God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite.

And Satan created McDonald's and its 99-cent double cheeseburger. Then said, "You want fries with that?" And Man replied, "Yes! And super size them!"

And Satan said, "It is good."

And Man went into cardiac arrest.

God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.

Then Satan created Cuts to the Health Care System.

Amen

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS???

Food Find

I went to my local grocery store today for a few items and I stumbled across something I've recently heard about on the internet... Tofu Shirataki which is a low carb pasta. The entire bag has 40 calories and 2 net carbs. It's priced a little high for my pocket book ($2.29 for 8oz), but I'm going to try it soon anyway. It would be great as an occasional treat. I can hardly believe it's been almost a year since I last had any pasta.

I'll keep you posted on what I think when I try this new product.

Med School Weekend Happenings

Happy Birthday, Mom!!!

This is a photo of me with my Mom at the

10th Annual Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon

on Sunday, April 25, 2010. I LOVE it!!!

It's one of my favorite photos of all times.

My Parents woke up at 4am that morning to drive me to the race and they stayed there until I proudly crossed the finish line. They've been so supportive of ALL my crazy phases and hobbies during the years. I have to say that this one (running) really took them by surprise, but they're loving every moment of it.

Did you know that my Mom was in track and jumped the hurdles back in the day?

Too cool!

I hope you had an amazingly awesome day full of birthday blessings!!!

Love,

Jenn

May Day

Happy May Day 2010!

Seriously Blessed

A friend from HS knew I've been needing some clothes that fit. She kindly invited me to take some stuff off her hands while I was in town. My new wardrobe has pieces from J.Crew, Banana Republic, White House Black Market, Ann Taylor Loft, Lime Leopard (Boutique in OKC), GAP, Target, Anthropologie, Express, etc.

I'm so grateful! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Here are a couple of photos of me sporting my new goods...

I'm sporting a cute new jacket from Ann Taylor Loft over a long shirt from Express. LOVE!

I wore this to work. = )

I'm lovin' these cargo pants from GAP. They were super cute and comfortable to wear while running errands around town today. Did you notice my pigtails?

I left half of my new stuff at my parents house because it wouldn't all fit in my suitcase.... And I would have been over the free weight limit anyway. It'll feel like Christmas morning when I see them again in a few weeks. YAY!

I'll try to keep posting photos of my new stuff. They're too cute not to share.

Daily Eats

B: The usual... Coffee (2 shots espresso, 6oz unsweetened soymilk, 2 pumps sugar free coconut Torani syrup, 1/2 pump sugar free almond Torani syrup, 2 pumps sugar free white chocolate Torani syfup). I had 2 of these today. = )

L: Low-Carb PIZZA: A light original Flatout (made with 100% stone ground whole wheat) that's really low carb and loaded with fiber (6 carbs, 9 grams fiber, 90 calories, and 0 sugar). I topped it with Bertolli Alfredo sauce, fresh garlic, fresh spinach, roasted red peppers, artichoke heart quarters, mesquite grilled chicken pieces, shredded 2% mozzarella, and pizza seasoning from Penzey's served with a side of fresh broccoli and carrots. This was my hubby's plate... I only allow myself 1/2 a Flatout but load it up with a lot of toppings. YUM!!!

D: Egg salad with a bit of hickory smoked tuna thrown in on a romaine lettuce leaf along with a side of zucchini slices and tomato basil hummus (from Trader Joe's, of course!). This was David's plate. He's currently on a low carb diet too.

And then, there's me....
