soy yogurt

It’s true what they say

“Home is where the heart is” Yup.  It’s true.  Lucky for me, I consider both the Bay Area AND Santa Monica “home.”  So even though it was a total joy to spend the weekend with my parents and sister, I’m glad to be back with Kyle.  Win win.  Eventually I will recap the wedding in more detail (so fun!), but for now, I’m trying to get organized for work tomorrow (reality check…wah wah). I had leftovers from Patxi’s for Saturday brunch.  I had baby carrots a la mode because I enjoy fiber.   Even day… Read more >

By the Bay

As I mentioned, I’m in Nor Cal for the weekend.  Wedding season never ends when you’re in your late 20’s.  I spent most of Friday in the car (that I-5 is brutal).  But eventually I made it home safe and sound!  Not to self: buy an audiobook for the drive back to LA (recommendations welcome!).  Pre-departure I had a fruity, yogurt, quinoa breakfast bowl.     For those who find soy yogurt a little “off” tasting, try the berry versions…they aren’t as soy-flavored (or however you’d describe that weird after-taste).  It’s mostly just with vanilla or… Read more >

Hello again old friend

After night shift, I biked home Thursday morning and passed the [bleep] out. When I woke up I semi-freaked out because I realized my packing time (before leaving for New York) was minimal.  And still, my priority was food. I had quinoa with vanilla soy yogurt, cinnamon and bananas. Then I showered, threw clothes in a suitcase, and we were off to the bus stop.  I am slightly nervous about how haphazardly I packed…but we’re staying at Jess’ apartment (she’s out of town) so having her closet at my disposal is my backup.  And by… Read more >

In & out of labor

I worked Saturday, but had Sunday and Monday off.  Wee! Let’s fly through Saturday so I can show the fun stuff.  I got up at 4:30 am to work out.  It was mediocre since I had a headache.  I don’t know that my heart rate got up since there wasn’t any cardio going on, but I did some weight stuff, resistance bands, and yoga/stretching for 30 minutes.  My headache disappeared once I drank a few glasses of water (and a mug of almond milk/coffee).  My half-caf-java was followed by the above breakfast of vanilla soy… Read more >

Who is this girl?

When my alarm goes off in the morning, I get up immediately.  I never hit snooze.  Ever.  So yesterday it went off at 4:25 am and I popped out of bed ready to start my day the best way I know how.  However, after 46 seconds (give or take a few), I quickly came to the conclusion that working out was a bad idea.  My head was a throbbing mess and my eyes were all puffy.  [I have since discovered that I’m slightly allergic to the gorgeous bouquet Kyle got me for Valentine’s Day] So… Read more >
