SPRING BREAK WHOOHOOO!!!!!

I am between the Winter and Spring quarters so its my Spring Break week. I have today and possibly tomorrow off of work, my hubby has tomorrow off maybe we'll go see a movie (or 2). Grades aren't "officially" in but the Chefs have finished their gradebook which we have access to so my grades are an A and a C so I still have a 3.0 my goal.
having this good chunk of time to myself and nothing pressing I'm going to be hitting the gym hard I already went for 1 hour this a.m. and I think I'm gonna go again in a little bit. I need to get serious about losing weight since I will be starting a baking & pastry class I need to be able to compensate for those extra calories, plus shorts season is coming up and I want to wear dresses and shorts without my legs looking all gross.
In other news (baking news) I have been baking up a storm, since Tuesday I have made 2 lemon bundt cakes, whole wheat bread, my "Birthday Cake", and homemade peanut butter, bacon & carrot dog treats. I have been feeling so inspired lately in working on the classic stuff i think i make take a stab at pie dough again tonite but I have to figure out what i want to fill it with tho i have been thinking caramel banana pudding pie. Well that's it for now time to do the laundry and dishes so the house it clean for when i make the pie crust tonite.

My life...

I have been thinking a lot lately about my life and what I want out of it. My main goal as is I'm sure most peoples is to be happy. Now for some its to have a lot of money, or fame, or maybe even to help others (not that I mind helping others I just don't want to focus my life around it). Anywho what makes me happy is being a worker bee. I don't have a desire to be in charge of people, I just want to go into "work" be able to bake many different items from scratch using thee best tested recipes, and go home feeling satisfied. That's all.
And in my personal life I'm  happier than I thought I would be without my sisters in my life I don't have to wonder when I'm gonna get a call for money or some other favor. And I'm glad that I am finally starting to stand up for and believe in myself. I am very lucky to have a husband who supports me and what I want to achieve in life and a son who is so smart its annoying (in a good way) and a fun place to work that I enjoy going to each day. So here is to hoping it all falls into place.
On a related yet unrelated note I added a ticker to the top of my page as I have started www.myfitnesspal.com to help get me to one of my other goals which is my ideal weight and my next tattoo.

Back in the saddle

Due to time issues and the uncertainty of job hours I am not able to continue my cross-fit training (sad face). Butt I have learned proper form and great moves that I am able to use back at my gym. Which I went to today for the 1st time this month (another sad face). I need to get back into the routine of going to the gym at least 4 times a week and working out hard (which I normally do), today was a little different I actually rode my bike 4 miles round trip to the gym which was hard since I haven't been in my bike in a year. The bike at the gym is no where near like riding one in real life there was wind resistance, hills, and of course the face that I had to physically pedal myself and my bike in a forward motion and wasn't able to lean back and read while I pedaled aimlessly. I did a lot of the squat moves I learned in CF along with some of my normal exercises and i was glad to see I didn't lose any strength in the 3 weeks I was MIA. I haven't gotten on the scale, my clothes still fit just not like I want them to so I am going on a "diet" I'm torn between the 80 bite one and a modified WW. The 80 bite one is you are only allowed 80 bites of food a day which can be anything you want but only 80 bites total for the day so 20 each for b-fast, lunch, and dinner and than 10 each for 2 snacks. The downside to this one is when it comes to school and my tasting the food. My other option is the modified WW where I would use the original plans point system but incorporate the 0 points of fruits/veggies of the new plan. I will admit I am leaning more towards this plan.
Speaking of school this is my last week of this quarter. I'm sad to leave my American Regional class as it has become one of my favorites and I love the teacher. I know I wont make my grade goals this quarter and I'm fine with that so long as I pass. And I am looking forward to next quarter where I get to get into baking and cake decorating (happy face). I'm also falling more and more in love with not only baking but cooking as well. I've made buttermilk pies, foccacia, and bread pudding just in the past week. I've better organized my cookbooks by getting another bookcase and separating out my baking from my savory books so I am even more inspired to try new things now that I can see all my books.
Thats pretty much all I have to report for now in addition to work (which I love especially since they fired the loser) I'm looking forward to hopefully getting a baking job once the brick n mortar opens. Maybe i'll make a pie tomorrow, but what kind?

Where i've been, what i've been doing, and a look to the future...

So its been awhile since I've posted (like a month or so) but I have been so busy I now work full time on my bro's regional specialty sandwich truck, school full time,and working out around 6 hours a week on top of everything else in day to day lives.
Now in addition to all that I have added 2 more challenges and when I say challenges I mean challenges. I have signed up for CrossFit and had my 1st session on Saturday (more in another post). and I have joined the ACF club at school which will help to ramp up my knowledge and bring out my competitive side when it comes to cooking and will push me to do and be better.
Thats it for now I have to get ready for the day take my hubby lunch get a book and go to school before I got to work at 10:30.
