Ike and Katy Lee: May 2012

Memorial Day 2012

10:39 PM

We had a fabulous LONG weekend together. It was extremely low key, we barbecued with our California family and I soaked in as much sun as I possibly could.

Finley & I watched Sex and the City most of the day Saturday and then Ike and I had a mini date night at a restaurant we can WALK to from our house. (I say mini because we didn't decide to do anything until 9:30 Saturday night when I was going stir crazy at home).

I found Stubb's barbecue sauce at Ralph's! This is my second favorite sauce. My favorite? None other than Rudy's.

Sunday we were grilling out and had a hot dog mishap. We laughed so hard! BX was not as thrilled that we ruined his dogs. Who knew hot dogs curled up when burnt beyond edibility.

Finley is EXHAUSTED!! Two days of running outside with 3 other pups is tough!

As I sit and think I how enjoyed our Memorial Day Weekend, I remind myself how none of this would be possible without the sacrifices of people, like my dad, who fought to ensure our freedom!

5 factor cooking

11:14 AM

Since my bank account told me I could no longer afford meal delivery (insert super sad face here) I have been following the 5 Factor Diet book to a T.

This is what I've eaten most mornings; an Ezekiel 4:9 tortilla filled with 1 cup of egg whites, refried beans and a dash of fat free cheese. Put some salsa on the side and voila!

Afternoon snack; fat free chicken, fat free cheese & whole grain crackers. (ritz are pictured but I switched to Ak-Mak crackers. Yum!

Dinner; Black eyed peas, chicken and collard greens.

Last night we had shrimp & black beams for dinner.

Annnndddddd I should add I've switched to Hansen's soda! It's sugar free, zero calories, no preservatives & no caffeine. I realize this sounds crazy but it works for me.

Still loving the 5 factor diet!

If you know me then you know I get bored with my hair. Easily. It must be the hair dresser in me. I've been a brunette now for 2.5 years and have had the itch to put some blonde back in it...Today, my husband surprised me with a hair color appointment & he even paid! I went to a great salon in Beverly Hills and will definitely be back! And here's the final (lighter) product! I'm ready for my first California summer! Thank you so much, love of my life!

He strikes again

Finley, the ear bandit strikes again. This baby lasted all of 10 minutes. Ears were first to go.

Monday morning

11:11 AM

This morning Finley & I went on a 2.5 mile run. I didn't make a course map, I simply left my front door and ran. I knew I had all the time in the world to explore our neighborhood.

Here I am in my new shoes! Love these hot little New Balances.

Finley enjoyed our adventure, too!

We ran around the Fox lot and I had to take a pic.
What a perfect morning for a run! The only problem is I dropped my keys somewhere on my run and noticed it when I got home. I made a quick trip to the office and am now back in business. Happy Monday!

5 Factor

8:30 PM

9 days ago I started the 5 Factor Diet. I had 5 meals a day delivered to my door, every morning for 1 week. In 9 days I have lost 9 pounds. To say that Harley Pasternak has changed my eating habits and lifestyle would be an understatement. I'm eternally grateful to have had the opportunity to do this "diet". Although my bank account tells me I can't continue meal delivery, I will most definitely stay with the 5 factor lifestyle.

This is the bag that was left on my front porch every morning!

Here's how the meals come packaged.

Life Lately

2:08 PM

This post is a little late, but better late than never, right? We had another splendid weekend in LA LA land. Amelia's birthday was Sunday and we surprised her with a birthday dinner at Sur. (also owned by Lisa Vanderpump, RHOC). It's a super sexy restaurant and bar. I'll definitely be hitting it up more! Check it out here: http://surrestaurantandbar.com/
