Friday Finisher 11/1/13

November 1, 2013 by Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 21 Comments

Hey, happy November 1st! October flew by, didn’t it. These next two months are going to go by quick, I can tell. With the breaks and holidays, before we know it, it will be 2014! I am siked for 2014. I will be graduating and turning 18 in June and then it’s off to college from there, ah! But back to reality for a few more months right?

So if you are reading this in the morning, I will be taking my AP Psych, AP Government, Ancient History, and health 9-week exams today. I feel pretty confident with them all, but a little less so for Gov. That class is intense and the tests are always tricky, but fingers crossed I prepared enough. Then all I have are those damn SATs tomorrow. They start at 8 (could start earlier if everyone in your room arrived on time) and go all the way to about 12:30/1:00ish. It all depends on how good your proctor is. But I am dreading those hours, I just can’t focus that long. I survived them that last time I took them in May, but I was absolutely drained by the end. When I come home Saturday it will be food then nap time.

I made the best “random bowl” dinner last night and want to make it again tonight! Let me share an unflattering photo and quick “recipe” with y’all. believe me when I say don’t judge a book (food) by its cover ๐Ÿ˜‰

“Cheezy” Sardine Kasha Bowl

Sardine Buckwheat Bowl

Ingredients: (serves 1)

+ 1 Can of Salt-Free Sardines, in Water

+ 1/3 Cup of Dry Kasha

+ 4 Kale Leaves (torn into bite-sized pieces)

+ 6 White Baby Button Mushrooms (roughly chopped)

+ 3 TB of Nutritional Yeast

+ 1 TB of Salt-Free Stoneground Mustard

+ 1/2 to 1 Tsp of Turmeric

+ 1 1/2 Tsp of Chopped Chives

+ A Dash of Black Pepper

1388796_622428197795845_239494518_n(Also awesome with Quinoa, if you can’t find Kasha! I bet Millet would be divine as well ๐Ÿ˜‰

Directions:

+ Cook your Kasha according to the package. Then in the same pot add in all the other ingredients and mix and mash it all around.

+ Pile it into a big bowl and dig in! So good, I am telling you!

A few things I loved about my week or am grateful for:

+ 145 days (and going strong) of being (eyebrow and eyelash)ย trich free!

+ I made it through this rough week…almost! Wish me luck on the SAT tomorrow!

+ It’s teacher’s convention next week so I get a 4 day weekend starting Thursday! Woohoo!

+ I am so excited…guess what… Monday is my 4 year GF Anniversary! Be prepared for a crazy Power Monday post + a giveaway!

+ I won a Thorlo Sock and a Pro Compression Sock giveaway a few weeks a go. I am in love with both! Thorlo are so comfy, they have padded heals and toes. The PC’s are awesome as well, tight and perfect (except they are hard to get on and off! Haha!).

So tell me:

Any new “random bowl” creations? They really do make the best dinners!

What will you be doing this first weekend of November?

Do you like to DIY Christmas presents? I love it even though it takes a long time, it is always rewarding and makes me feel good to know I didn’t just buy something at the store, but made a labor of love ๐Ÿ™‚

Happy Friday Friends! Have a great weekend!

Friday Finisher 10/25/13

October 25, 2013 by Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 12 Comments

Wow! This week flew by just like last week. I hope this welcome trend continues into next week. And let me tell you why (ie: I am about to whine and complain a bit ๐Ÿ˜‰ So at least this weekend I don’t have any obligations outside the house, just work inside the house. But that also includes preparing for next week. So Monday I have a huge AP Government and Politics project/presentation. My partner and I will be giving underclassmen history classes a 40 minute presentation on current events and the NJ special senate election and gubernatorial election. We are doing this for 4 classes, so that is 160 minutes of presenting in front of 4 different classes. Ugh! I am excused from all my classes that day, but on my off periods I am opting to actually attend the classes I can. But sadly I will be missing my Psychology class which we have a test in so I am hoping to take that during a different period. I also have a math test that day, but I am off that period so it works out. On Tuesday I have 2 other tests, and then Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday we have our quarterly assessments in each of my 9 classes. Instead of midterms and finals, we have quarterly assessments at the end of each marking period and then a final at the end of the year (4th parking period). So I am going to be bugged down with work and studying all week. Ugh, can I handle it? And the kicker is next Saturday I have the SAT. This final one I am going to take. O man, My life depend on it (haha…kinda). So I also need to be practicing for that…particularly math. But once November 3rd comes, I will be a happy girl. I just have to get through this next week and I really hope I don’t have a breakdown in the process.

But I don’t want to start off your Friday with anymore complaints. I do have some fun posts planned for next, like the new Group Power release review, some awesome breakfast recipes, and a fun Halloween post! Can you believe it is Halloween already? October flew by! I don’t celebrate Halloween anymore, we don;t even have any decoration up in the house. Kinda sad, i guess. (But I really couldn’t care less, haha!) Alright, let’s have a look at the Friday Finisher. There were some really good posts this week that I absolutely loved! Enjoy! ๐Ÿ™‚

A few things I loved about my week or am grateful for:

+ A pretty good week at school, not much work…but that is all about to change (see above)!

+ 138 days (and going strong) of being (eyebrow and eyelash)ย trich free!

+ I have some sprouted lentils calling my name tonight for dinner! Pizza anyone?

+ I am grateful for life! And even though next week will be rough I am grateful that I am able to get a great education and have the opportunities to excel when so many do not! Keep it positive!

So tell me:

Do you foam roll? I do but not as much as I should. I have a black roller I got over the summer, but the only muscles I ever feel tightness on are my IT bands. Otherwise the rolling really does nothing for me. Well at least I don’t feel anything :/

How do you feel about these Asinine Ads?

What are you weekend plans?

Any upcoming stresses or craziness you need to get through next week? I am going to need all the support I can get!

September 20, 2013 by Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 6 Comments

Happy Friday! Yay, the weekend is only hours away and much needed. I have had some big tests this week, in precalc, psychology, and government. I am so glad this week is over. But next week I have a huge Latin test on lines 1-109 of the Aeniad…I don’t even know how to react. I am just hoping I can get in some quality relaxing time this weekend and decompress a bit because boy am I tired! But I still have tons to get done over the weekend like always. Homework, studying, blogging, volunteer work, emails to write, college apps to work on, o and a new recipe I am really excited to create (stay tuned and I will hopefully be posting it on Wednesday! It’s going to be a good one!). Well here’s to the Friday Finisher!

+ Foto Friday: Shooting in Manual

Perfect quick reminders and tips on shooting. Take your DSLR of auto and get your money’s worth!

+ New Inquiries into Eating Disorders and Obesity

Interesting and much needed study.

+ What Food Allergies are Costing Families — and the Economy

Allergies and special diets are definitely costly, ($6 for a loaf of GF bread!) so will new research and treatments lower costs?

+ Hip Stability Exercises to prevent ITBS and Runnerโ€™s Knee

Don’t forget or neglect the hips! They need to be strong to support your activity and prevent injury.

+ What is Living FearLESSly?

Love Heather’s tips to live fearlessly.

+ 41 Reasons Why Pugs are the Most Majestic Creatures on Earth

Tina shared this on her blog the other day and it was just so cute. I love Pugs, they are my favorite dog, even though I don;t have one and don’t really like pets in general Pugs still have my heart.

+ 20 DIY Fall Wreath Tutorials

I love making home-made wreaths! I made one for my mom last Christmas. Even though it took forever and very frustrating at times, it payed off and looked beautiful! I had originally gotten the idea from Gina’s blog.

Do you like using Kettlebells? I usually just use them from Plie Squats and Swings.

+ When Healthy Living Becomes Obsessive

Do you feel stressed about living your healthy life and keeping with your healthy living guidelines?

+ How I Let Go of Calorie Counting

I don’t calorie count, but this is a great read if you are struggling with letting go of counting. Let yourself be free and focus on nutrients and quality of food not numbers!
