My Cozy Corner

My new diet plan I’m starting come February 3rd.

Breakfast
1/2 cup egg whites scrambled with 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon chopped basil, 1 teaspoon grated Parmesan, and 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
1 slice whole-grain toast
1/2 cup blueberries
1 cup skim milk

Snack

1/2 cup fat-free Greek yogurt topped with 1/4 cup sliced strawberries

Lunch
Salad made with 3/4 cup cooked bulgur, 4 ounces chopped grilled chicken breast, 1 tablespoon shredded low-fat cheddar, diced grilled veggies (2 tablespoons onion, 1/4 cup diced zucchini, 1/2 cup bell pepper), 1 teaspoon chopped cilantro, and 1 tablespoon low-fat vinaigrette

Snack
2 tablespoons hummus and 6 baby carrots

Dinner
4 ounces grilled salmon
1 cup wild rice with 1 tablespoon slivered toasted almonds
1 cup wilted baby spinach with 1 teaspoon each olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and grated Parmesan
1/2 cup diced cantaloupe topped with
1/2 cup all-fruit raspberry sorbet and 1 teaspoon chopped walnuts

Plus I’ll be doing 60 to 90 minutes of moderate exercise four times a week.

So wish me luck & I’ll post some decent before & after pics when I start. I will also begin a weight loss blog to keep track of my weight separated from my random postings.

Yesterday I received in the mail my first samples. I don’t remember placing an order for any but was happy I got one. I will make a separate post with pics later today.

So today is the BIG day! LOL

For those of you that don’t already know I’m changing my name. Not in RL but just online I will no longer be Shannon Thomas. This will help in people not being able to find me.

I’m sick of everyone being so rude & disgusting to others online. They have absolutely NO respect.

Everyone sits around & bashes on the Kardashians or Joe P whatever his name is that “allowed” those kids to get molested & so forth. It amazes me how everyone else can sit around & pass judgement on others but they don’t look in the mirror. NO ONE is perfect. We are human beings, we are made to make mistakes. It’s life. I’m seriously thinking about deleting everyone from everything I have online (Facebook, Twitter, my blog, message boards, etc) and just try & disappear from being online. Even if I have to change my name online which that doesn’t sound half bad. Yeah that’s what I’m gonna do. 

People doesn’t understand behind every monitor is a real person with feelings. And if someone has to be that low to hate on everyone else then I don’t want their friendship.

My birthday is on Sunday. I have no special plans.

I ordered an HDMI cable for my new TV. I was using my old cord that has the red, white & yellow ends but the picture quality is so bad. I haven’t got to hook it up just yet.

So without me knowing my hubby, our daughter & I went to Wal-Mart to look around. My birthday is not until the 22nd. He surprised me with a brand new TV. Emerson 37 inch LCD. I was stunned! He worked 7 days a week just to buy me a new TV. If you look back in my blog you’ll find where I mentioned my TV was going out. It was just the sound but a TV without the sound is useless. He knew he wanted to get me a TV before he even drove the 3-4 hour drive. How sweet! I fell in love with him all over again! So my girl is sleeping and I’m gonna hop in bed and enjoy my new TV. We got it on Saturday. We enjoyed watching 2 movies last night *Phase 7 & Carriers*.

I listened to Jay-Z’s song ‘Glory’ this morning and I’m shocked by some of the stuff he was saying. Does he actually think it’s appropriate??? I posted the lyrics below.

The most amazing feeling I feel,
Words can’t describe what I’m feeling for real
Baby, I paint the sky blue,
My greatest creation was you
You, you, glory

False alarms and false starts
All made better by the sound of your heart
All the pain of the last time
I prayed so hard it was the last time
Your mama said you danced for her
Did you wiggle your hands for her?
Glory, Glory, Glory

Sorry, Everything that I prayed for
God’s gift I wish I woulda prayed more
God makes no mistakes, I made a few
Rough sled in here and there but I made it through
I wreak havoc on the world
Get ready for part two
A younger, smarter, faster me
So a pinch of Hov, a whole glass of B

Glory, yeah

The most amazing feeling I feel,
Words can’t describe what I’m feeling for real
Baby, I paint the sky blue,
My greatest creation was you

Your grand pop died of liquor failure
Then he died of liver failure
Deep down he was a good man
God damn I can’t deliver failure
Bad ass little Hov,
Two years old shopping on Saville Row
Wicked ass little Bey, hard not to spoil you rotten, looking like little me
The most beautiful-est thing in this world,
Is Daddy’s little girl.
You don’t yet know what swag is

But you was made in Paris and mama woke up the next day and shot her album package
Last time the miscarriage was so tragic,
We was afraid you disappeared but nah baby, you magic
So there you have it, sh-t happens
Just make sure the plane you on is bigger than your carry-on baggage
Everybody goes through stuff
Life is a gift, love
Open it up
You’re a child of destiny
You’re the child of my destiny
You’re my child with the child from destiny’s child
That’s a hell of recipe
Glory, glory, glory sorry

Glory, uh, yeah

The most amazing feeling I feel,
Words can’t describe what I’m feeling for real
Baby, I paint the sky blue,
My greatest creation was you

Yeah real nice for a newborn. A few of the words in there I like but overall I think the song is stupid. IMO
