my heart will go on

everyone has been posting the cutest Easter weekend pics but sadly, you won't find any of those here.

apparently Matt and i are losers this year and didn't even make baskets for each other or color eggs or anything.

that is so unlike me since i LOVE going crazy for every holiday.

if you wish to see proof that sometimes we're not totally grinchy about Easter check out our funny eggs and rice krispy bunnies!

at least Matt and i did have an awesome date on saturday.

we went to see Titanic!

but not in 3D, no no that makes me dizzy and sick and i like to enjoy going to the movies so we saw it in 2D.

now before you go judging me and saying things like "why would you see it in 2D when you could just sit at home and watch it??"

well my friends, i hate to admit this but, Matt and i had never actually seen Titanic from start to finish before.

i know, where the heck have we been right?

and i am sooo glad i saw it for the first time in the theaters so it was all big and amazing!

and guys, i totally love this movie.

that sounds super girly and stupid but I LOVE THIS MOVIE!

Titanic is one of those stories that really interests me and also scares the H-E- double hockey sticks out of me!

and i was totally reminded of how much i love young Leonardo DiCaprio!

he's so stinking cute! 

and even though the movie is freaking long, i didn't notice at all because i was so in love with Leo, i mean the story.

that James Cameron sure can tell a good story.

only downside to seeing this movie, you'll have Celine Dion stuck in your head for days and days and days and days.

oh and something very interesting i found out when we saw this movie, apparently i look less than 13 years old.

Matt was buying the tickets and the ticket girl asked how old i was to make sure i was allowed to see the movie.

seriously?? 

i mean, i've been told i have a baby face and i look younger than i am but 10 years younger?!

crazy.

also...here's a picture with me and my boyfriend Jeremy Renner. 

enjoy.

iPhone pics

since getting my iPhone i haven't been very good about taking pictures.

i think it's because my phones have always had really terrible cameras and i'm still trying to remember that this one is good!

i'm trying to get better though!

so lately this is what's been happening...

hanging with Sammy

wearing my fave sweater one last time since it's already a billion degrees here

almond bars

so i went to the doctor this week to see how my whole metabolic syndrome-ness is going.

the doctor made me feel all proud of myself for losing some poundage and being overall a little healthier but i guess i'm still not exactly where i need to be blood sugar wise.

i went there really hoping she would tell me i was doing good and i could get off the medication that makes me nauseous 24/7 and on those really super fun days has me puking but sadly, i have to stay on it for now.

i know i felt the absolute best when we were on our ketogenic diet and i've heard lots of success stories of people who can get off this medication if they stick with this diet but it's sooooo hardddd.

we did it for a good month with barely any cheating and both Matt and i lost over 10 pounds in that one month but you hardly get to eat anything.

well, that's not true.

you get to eat a lot of meat and veggies and dairy but with my lactose intolerance i don't get the dairy part and i'm allergic to a lot of veggies too so it's like taking a very limited diet and making it super duper BEYOND limited.

but i'm determined to find an amazing balance of the keto diet with maybe a little extra stuff to make me not want to throw myself off a ridiculously tall building.

basically i'm gonna try a bunch of new foods and weird recipes to see what i like and what's healthy but tasty enough to keep in my diet long term.

and i'll be posting about it for my own benefit so i can remember likes and dislikes and also for anyone who is interested in eating healthy along with me!

so Matt and i wandered around Trader Joe's this week and found these healthy looking bars called Five Seed Almond Bars.

i've been putting off trying them for a couple days now but today i put my big girl pants on and tried them out.

and guess what...THEY ARE DELICIOUS!

they're nutty and cinnamony and probably the best tasting health bar i've tried.

only problem is, we didn't notice they have butter in them until after i had one this morning so no more delicious cinnamon nutty goodness for me anymore.

insert sad face here.

but Matt loved them too so he'll get to gobble up all those bad boys.

and after eating this i decided breakfast bars are totally genius for those mornings you don't want to cook or, if you're like Matt, you're already 15 minutes late to work by the time you head out the door.

 so i searched the interwebz for some breakfast bar type recipes and found some i'm going to try out!

basically anything that can give us a little break from eating eggs every single morning would be nice!

penguins turned thieves

too stinkin cute not to share!

happy hunger games!

i'm so excited for 

HUNGER GAMES TONIGHT!!!

i seriously cannot stop listening to this song!

i know i posted that video forever and a half ago but really, it's worth listening to over and over and over and over.

so like i said, excitement beyond belief over here!

my sister-in-law's friend rented out a theater so we get to see the movie at 6:15 instead of waiting in line for-e-ver until midnight like everyone else!

WHAT UP!

the only thing that could make tonight even more magical is if Matt and i had actually made matching Hunger Games shirts like we joked about doing but then didn't have time to make.

Matt said he would've been on board with a Team Haymitch shirt!

and of course i'll be sporting my mockingjay pin tonight!

got to!

i LOVE saint patrick's day!

it makes my obsession with neon green seem adorable instead of borderline insane.

i get a reason to paint my nails green and wear my green vans and i'm basically green even down to my tippy toes!

(this is the picture you get when your husband says "don't make t-rex arms". i'll show him)

HAPPY SAINT PATTY'S DAY!
