Michael Voltaggio

Published on by Sydney Aaliyah MichelleLeave a comment

Sticking with my theme of bring people to your attention that I admire for not so much who they are but what they do and what they put out in this world. Michael Voltaggio deserves a place in my blog for being passionate about his craft. He is the Season 6 winner of Top Chef and recently opened a new restaurant in LA called INK. I can’t wait to try it.

Of course he is totally my type, very cute, confident (cocky – all about your perspective) tattooed man who is creative and passionate about what he does. If you have been to Ink. let me know what you thought. If you have negative opinions about Michael (see previous post) keep them to your self. I am not saying he is a great man, I don’t even know him. But, he can cook and has the skins on the wall to prove it.

Sunday – last day of July

Published on by Sydney Aaliyah MichelleLeave a comment

Sitting in my boss/friends room making chili and watching a movie. Making chili for my peeps in China.  I could be cooking in my own room if I had a stove to cook on, but I don’t.

I have the final stats. from July’s month of health.  The numbers aren’t bad.  Lost 11 pounds and 15 inches all over.  Took photos and they look smaller or I look small I should say.  I was disapointed in the weight loss, especially since I only lost 3 pounds since the 12th, but I am thrilled about the inches. Thrilled about the way I feel. Thrilled about next months plan.  Just thrilled.  I logged every day of fitness and I worked out 20 of the 30 days.  All in all, it doesn’t seem like to much to do to loose weight.  But, I want to kick it up a notch next month anyway.  Here is my fitness log for the month of July 2011.

Like I said, really good. If I sustain this for the next 5 months, I like statistically where I will be by then.

Next month (which starts tomorrow on a Monday no doubt), I want to do 45 minutes of Cardio 5 times per week.  Do the C25K workout 3 times per week and then straight up elliptical the other days.

The Mango!

I have to take a moment to extol the virtues of the world greatest fruit; the mango.  It combines the two most sought after sensations for an orally fixated person such as myself; sweet and sour.

Combine that with a texture that I can only describe as “sex”. Yes, I said it, it taste like sex.  All the wonderful smoothness and sliminess of sex.  That my friend is what a mango feels like on my tongue, on my lips, and in my mouth.

I can’t believe it took me so long to discover this wonderful, life altering fruit.  But, now that I found it, I will never let it go.  Ah; the mango.
