6 Lies and a Truth?

Hey guys!!  Happy Thursday!! It’s almost the weekend… Wiiiiiiii

Jolene @ Everyday Foodie – passed this blog award onto me, it’s super cute and fun!!

To accept this award I have to come up with 6 outrageous LIES about myself, and 1 TRUTH, and you need to guess what the truth is.  - awwwwwwh this is so hard!
Here goes:
1) I was born with bright red hair
2) I can touch my tongue to my nose
3) I went to a private school and our uniforms were bright green.
4) I have been to Disneyland 2 times
5) I was a wrestler in middle school
6) I love cooked carrots
7) I was born in Alberta

ONLY one is true. Which is it?

I would like to pass this award on to: ALL OF YOU!!  I think this is really fun and everyone should get a chance to do it!!


Last night’s dinner was SO good!

I have been seeing tons of roasted broccoli around blog land lately, and now I know why!  It’s sooo good! 

I roasted it in the oven at 350 for about 20 mins, with the asparagus.   I sprinkled it with olive oil and fresh garlic…  it turned out amazing!
I also marinated the pork in fresh juice (orange/grapefruit), soya sauce, hosin sauce and garlic- then D BBQed it!!

Rice was boring – Brown basmati… steamed! 

Lunch yesterday was also a huge hit!  I was super hungry after my 2.5km small hilly run – YAY!!! Getting back to it.  And I did about 25 mins of Arms and this fun Zumba video
I now understand why the world is so obsessed with Zumba, it’s so fun!! I got some of the DVD’s and did about 45 mins today, I felt silly doing it, but had lots of fun!


Oh right, we were talking about lunch – talk about sidetracked!

a nice big salad with kale!  I’ve never put kale in a salad but it’s really fabulous!  I can’t wait to grow it in my garden this year!

and I had some leftovers – we went for Thai food the other night, but I got the regular old same thing, so figured you didn’t want to see pictures!

And some 3 Korn Bread – if you haven’t tried this stuff, it’s awesome – super jam packed full of grains and seeds – we just get it in the bakery isle, it’s usually fresh!

Don’t forget to vote for what you think is my truth from above!

Must run – I am reading a really interesting chapter in my Psychology book about eating disorders and motivation!  I have exam #2 next Thursday, and have lots of reading left!!
