I found a Saltines substitute!

Sunday night's game was awesome! Being at Wembley stadium for an NFL game, a CHICAGO game especially was beyond words for me. The Bears pulled off a win even though they played like crap and Cutler.. gee.. What can I say about him that probably hasn't already been said. He sucked. I still had a lot of fun though, and that game will be seared into my memory for a long time to come.

Some pics from the game:

We got lucky to have such a gorgeous day. I only needed two layers!

I was pleasantly surprised at how many British accents I heard with jerseys on. I guess some Brits do watch American football!

I love seeing players pray before the game. How endearing.

Sad that this was probably the most decoration the Bears had on the field. Since the Bucs had home advantage, there was a ton of complimentary Bucs flags waving about.

at least Staley made it!

It was actually quite funny at the start of the game because there was this little squirrel stuck on the field. He kept running into the end zone, then up to the middle of the field, and then turning back to the end zone as if he didn't know where to run. I swear people cheered when the squirrel made it back into the end zone, as if it had made a touchdown itself! Lol..  Eventually I lost track and am assuming the squirrel made its way off the field.

the shirtless man that made it on to the field for quite some time before getting tackled.

he managed to high five some players on the field which was hilarious!

narrowly missed the first tackle

but eventually was brought down.. HARD

lol...

the end=Bears win!

It was nice to get win in a stadium full of Bucs fans. Whoop Whoop! :-)

look who was waiting for us on the bed!! :-) Okay, so we put her on the bed.. what a cutie!!

I was really excited to find this on Ocado recently. Since the UK doesn't have saltine crackers, I was recently looking for a good substitute and this is perfect! It's a big heartier than a saltine, since I think Saltines flake more in your mouth, but it's very similar in taste! Me=happy! Now I have something to snack on eat soup with!

I steamed some kale with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. mmm.. It felt good to be eating some dark leafy veggies again!

plus ranch covered salad

chili prawn pasta with steamed spinach for dinner

a bit oily but delicious nonetheless!

Are you ready for some football?

This cold has sort of gotten the best of me so I haven't really been in the blogging mood as of late. My routine this week has consisted of doing 3 things
1.) Sleeping/Napping (Since I don't seem to be sleeping through the night very well, I'm needing daily naps and/or to lie down to "rest my eyes"
2.) Eating
3.) Going to class
4.) Studying (barely)

I can't believe I made it to all my classes this week! *pats myself on the back*. T and I got some really fantastic news on Wednesday so I think I've been drifting on that high.. Lord knows I need some sort of high since I haven't been to the gym once this week! I'm taking my own advice and not hitting the gym when I'm sick. Hopefully by next week, I'll be recovered from this cold and ready to hit the some weights. I NEED to be  recovered from this cold. It's NFL weekend this week! Weee!! *squeal*

Some of my recent eats:

London Turkish Kabob shop on the corner saves us on busy/lazy nights!

I always get the grilled chicken/lamb cubes with veggies and spicy red with garlic sauce

finding extra ways to sneak in some Vit-C

I've consumed lots of soup and noodles this week (this wasn't my only bowl!!)

I have this suspicion that the reason I got so powerfully sick is I wasn't eating well AT ALL and I wasn't exercising on a regular basis. Maybe its all in my head, but... maybe not..

mas soup

cinnamon and all-spiced eggs.. I can taste food AGAIN!! ever so slightly :)

don't ask me why I have a hankering for doritos!! Chicken soup, millet bread, chips, and a glass of OJ (I had an unpictured tuna sandwich on the bus back home from school)

afternoon snack attack: I made myself some chicken wings to go w. broccoli and ranch dip. ha!!

the wings were washed in water, coated with a prepackaged chicken fry mix, seared in a skillet and finished cooking in the oven. I think next time I'll remove the skin from the chicken first!!

Well, I'm heading out soon for a trunk show party so I best get ready! I'm not much of an accessory person but I've always considered that my weak spot I want to improve. What perfect timing that my ex-pat friend invited me to a showing of Stella and Dot at her flat. I told her my sick bootay will come but now I'm thinking I won't stay the entire 2 hours... Please go away cold!!
