This semester my long time friend Caroline and I are going to go to the REC three times a week. We did this probably three semesters ago, but just haven't had compatible schedules since then. We want to try a yoga class and also do some cardio on the machines. We meant to start this week but here's what happened:
On Monday, Caroline had to cancel because of school drama, and I had a flat tire on my bike and had to take it to the shop and have to pick it up by 6. Leanna and I decided we would go work out at the REC so that I would get habit of going started. We leave the apartment a little before 4 and drive to the Institute where we park to walk to the REC. By the time we get close to the REC it's 4:20. Leanna's not an A&M student so she'll have to pay $10 to get into the REC, and at this point we may not even get a full hour's workout before I need to rush over and get my bike! So we make an executive decision and say that walking to the REC and back will be our workout for the day :)
On Wednesday, Caroline is able to go and we plan on attending the yoga class at 4:15. I again park at the Institute and walk over, but unfortunately I had planned to leave my apartment earlier than when I actually did. Caroline had to make a last minute stop at her advisor's office and didn't get to the REC when she had planned. We go in together and by the time we pay our $3 for the class, have Caroline change clothes, and walk to the room it's 4:22 and the door is locked. Apparently yoga participants are supposed to come EARLY... oh well, next time. Caroline didn't have appropriate shoes to go on the machines, so we end up chit-chatting for an hour eating smoothies from the REC :) But hey, I actually made it into the REC this time. The next step is to actually workout while there!
Oh and we're not working out on Friday... so much for the first week of working out. But on the bright side, we can only improve from here!

New Job and a 9-Person Dinner
So i figured while I'm waiting for the cake I'm making for a friend's birthday (Happy Birthday Sara!) to finish baking I would send a little shout out to my blog :)
I got a new job! I had to leave Kids Klub after one and a half years because my class schedule next semester won't work with their schedule :( I loved my time there, but I'm ready for a change of venue and coworkers. Now I'm working with a country club as a hostess for their restaurants. I start training this weekend, so wish me luck! :) I kinda fell into this job and I'm so grateful for it! Now I don't have to run around town asking places if they're hiring like I was planning on having to do.
Hmm... whatever happened to my goal about cooking? This semester has been crazy busy, but I did make dinner for the missionaries (5 of them), my two home teachers, and Leanna. It was spaghetti, alfredo, chicken breasts, salad, garlic bread, and pink lemonade. Leanna bought some of the stuff, but I ended up putting it all together while she cleaned the house for our guests (and ourselves) :) I cheated a little though: the chicken breasts were precooked and frozen, the garlic bread just had to be heated, and all I did for the salad was put it in a bowl. But I did watch the noodles boil, heat up the sauces to go on top of them, add the last of my frozen broccoli to the alfredo, and stir the lemonade powder :) As well as clean off the kitchen table and set everything out. It turned out well, it was edible and we only had a bit of spaghetti and garlic bread left over.

Banana Bread, Muffin Top
I bought bananas a while back for a camping trip I took for my Advanced Scuba certification, but they were too green for the longest time so I hadn't eaten them. And I decided banana bread would be the perfect idea for these lonely bananas! [Well actually I had to buy new bananas... because I froze the others in hopes to use them in a smoothie, but they wouldn't peel after being frozen, so i put them back in the fridge... let's just say I know a sure fire way to kill a banana haha]
Well there's my B-E-A-UTIFUL loaf of banana bread :) It kinda muffin topped over the sides, but cooked pretty nicely and tastes delicious!
------------------------
I made two more a few days after this one, and they didn't muffin top because I used the same recipe but just poured it into two tins instead of one. So amazingly good!
