Wanted: juicer

I NEED A BREVILLE!!! Literally, every day I wake up, sigh, and think of the fun Andrea and Jenna (and countless others in the food blog world) are having (that I’m missing out on)… I even have ingredients planned out in my head.  I wish I could just win the lottery, I have so many plans for $$ in other peoples’ bank accounts.   Instead of juice, I started out my day the way I always do…talk about withdrawal issues. Thank goodness we braved the storm last night, fresh ground coffee is worth soaking wet… Read more >

ouch, SOOO sore

Monday = BLAH It figures it would rain pour all day.  After Saturday’s crazy long run and Sunday’s race, my leg muscles were struggling.  Let’s just say this week will be a serious taper week since next weekend is my HALF MARATHON!!!  You would have thought this weekend’s race would have calmed my nerves, but I think I am even MORE jittery and anxious now.  : / Java love + a whole lotta froth + toast with snb  = good morning! Since the weather was crap I couldn’t procrastinate any longer.  I was forced to… Read more >

sunny weekend

I LOVE warm weather.  And being that this was the first nice weekend we New Yorkers have had this season, I decided to take advantage.  Obviously, I wasn’t the only one with this brilliant idea…apparently the rest of New York was on the same wavelength. I wish I had a photo of Central Park…the great lawn was PACKED like nothing I’ve ever seen.  Not an INCH to spare! “Not an square to spare.” – anyone? AM Montage: frothy java, chobz, & coconut date rolls I went on a supah long run in the Park before… Read more >

TGIF, I love you, man

I spent most of today outside, so my food pictures will be fewer than usual.  But that’s a good thing.  It means SUNSHINE! I woke up crazy early (thanks for that 6:55 am text Jess) and enjoyed some frothy java before heading to the gym.  I like getting my workouts done early when the weather is awesome…plus Jess and I had an appointment at Jenny Yoo to get to.  [insert 4 miles on the elliptical here] After the gym I showered, beautified, and chowed down the above brunch while trying not to get peanut butter… Read more >

back on the bike

Ok.  I have been slacking FAR too much in the work out department.  I have a freakin’ half marathon in a week!  What am I doing to myself?  I should be training, not watching the View working and pretending that’s a good enough reason to skip the gym. I woke up to sun, FINALLY.  Made some java.  Frothed some leche. Voila! Prepare to see an endless supply of bridal mags in the background of all my pics now…my future mother-in-law got me a year’s subscription 🙂 I was researching wedding locations all morning, and totally… Read more >
