With last weekend being full of festivities, we were in great food and company! My LMT girl Lisa and her hubby hosted Fight Night (UFC main event: Anderson Silva post-2013 leg injury) on Super Bowl Sunday Eve! Then I watched the Big Game with my Papa Jun!
The commonalities between both meals were:
- pizza (Little Caesar’s & Pizza Hut)
- dip (Ranch & Nutella)
- oodles of noodles (post-fight & pre-game)
- veggies (fresh & roasted)
Fight Night Feast: {clockwise from top L} Little Caesar’s Pretzel Pizza from yours truly * fruit w/chocolate fondue made by yours truly (Nutella & Philadelphia Cream Cheese) * veggies w/Ranch dressing * slider sandwiches w/Dijon mustard, turkey & cheese (either Swiss or Munster)
Portion control: Lisa sliced the pizza into smaller pieces, so more could be up for grabs!
These slider sandwiches were a hit! Hands down: they scored a touchdown @ this table!
Fun fact: Did you know that you burn more calories than you consume when you munch on celery due to the crunch? Challenge accepted!
After the fruit was gone, a fellow cat mama & I turned to the carrots to dip into the chocolate!
Post-Fight: Rice Noodles w/meatballs ~ looks like this yummy bowl is Lisa‘s version of Pho!
Pre-Game: My Ramen w/Salsa + P.I. Cheese on Toast
Yes’sir, I AM the Ranch B*tch: from my salad to pizza (Supreme from the Hut)
Almond Joy Pie: filled w/Nutella but bittersweet due to the Seahawks’ SB loss
My Nanay satisfied my chili craving with this Super Bowl Southwestern-Style Chili Bowl! Maraming Salamat Po, Mommy Aya! Ma sarap!
Add cheese to the mix!
Dallop of Daisy: Add sour cream to the mix!
Add avocado to the mix!
Spoon ready to scoop ~ so ladle it on to lick!
Let’s double-dip those chips!
My mom went happy on kale, both in the chili & in these chips baked in EVOO + in this green drink complete con más avocado!
Again, Context Media Health has been on point, as if it’s been reading my mind ~ this time, about Black Beans & Avocados!

This past weekend, I sported colors to represent for games and Fight Night!
Cooper Cougars (center) for Abilene crosstown rivalry in Friday Night Lights, green and elephant (left) for good luck on Fight Night, Dallas Cowboys (right) for NFL Sunday
- I wore my letter jacket over my basketball polo that had denim to complement my jeans to root on the Coogs in my alma mater’s football game.
- I went from Church to watch UFC and boxing in my green paisley dress from Mexico and my elephant handbag from my parents’ Asia tour to wish contenders good luck!
- I repped both my Dallas Cowboys and former WR Miles Austin with my DC No. 19 dress on Game Day and Lisa‘s daughter’s birthday party ~ luckily, both teams won!

Get into KO shape!
Look and feel like a knockout by putting yourself into the ring. {in light of Canelo’s W over Lara}
Wayback Wednesday: Check out how swole Great Teacher Dispo‘s arms were with this glove! Was my vein popping out?
Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts are fun to watch, but imagine how much more kicks and grins we can get when we’re the ones in action. Prior to leaving town for work, I found out about a MMA gym, so I must check it out. Now that I’m back in the Valley, I may hit our boxing gym.
Boxing & MMA Health Benefits
- Toning up our arms ~ upper cut and punches
- Speeding up our legs ~ swift and fast feet
- Shaping up our core ~ twisting and pivoting
- Improving our hand-eye coordination
- Enhancing our competitive edge
These are just two of the exciting ways to exercise with your workout buddies ~ not to mention that whoever wins in the ring gets bragging rights!
TKO = TBWO [Total Knock Out = Total Body Workout]
