Wanna see how my Maui meals have been going…well, I have about 4.7% of my eats captured on film, so I’ll let you be the judge of that. We eat at restaurants more often than not, so I am in serious need of a detox. Processed foods have been in abundance, despite my best attempts to minimize them. And even with mega planning ahead of time, vegan options tend to be poor at best. One of the things I realized here is how unavoidable processed foods is. Sad :( Even with my organic-loving, health-conscious, family,… Read more >

Maui is hot (both in terms of temperature AND general bossy-ness). Love it. I don’t even mind the humidity, which adds 8 inches in horizontal volume to my pookie hair. I’ve been having issues getting on track with the time changes. Passing out by 10 pm, napping throughout the day (so not like me), while still waking up at 6 am (more like me). My body is so confused. If a picture could summarize my trip thus far, the above photo is a pretty good depiction. Here are a few more: We did a… Read more >

Now that’s it’s “summer” we have been sleeping with the bedroom windows open, but the thunder and lightning were so INSANE last night, I had to channel my inner Von Trapp and sing “My Favorite Things” to calm myself down…it was scary! It woke me up it was so loud. And just so you know, normally I sleep like a rock, so this was no joke. Clearly I had a rough night’s sleep – enter coffee 🙂 These are a few of my favorite things… Peach chobz (not as good as blueberry) and a bowl… Read more >

I have no clue why, but my appetite was out of control today. It was as if I ran a marathon and couldn’t seem to get in enough kcals to replenish. The only problem: I didn’t run a marathon. In fact, I didn’t exercise Sat or Sun because I worked (12 hour shifts are not conducive to gym-ing). I never really pay attention to balancing calories on days I exercise, even if I have really intensely active days, because typically my body tells me what to do. If my tummy wants more, I give it… Read more >

Up at 5. Out the door in under 30. Not a record, but not too shabby either. I got to downtown way earlier than usual, so the bucks wasn’t open yet (eek!)…good thing I had Bruno’s to the rescue. I’ve raved before, so my love for this tiny place is no secret, a small steamy coffee turned that frown upside down 🙂 Here’s my latest read. I heart David Sedaris! Makes the loss of express trains on the weekends somewhat tolerable. I managed to avoid the local trains today, so all was good. Anyways, I… Read more >
