dried papaya

Sleeveless running

The weather cracked into the 40s today, time to celebrate!  I was so happy when I woke up, it was sunny out and I had the day off to enjoy the nice weather outside. Here’s my morning cup of joe…along with some figs, carob covered raisins, and the crossword.  Talk about starting the day off right.  Since I woke up earlier than usual, I got hungry earlier than usual, so I made some french toast that I doused in Earth Balance. This whole wheat Alvarado Street bread is good, maybe even better than the California… Read more >

superbowl sunday

So, today’s breakfast must have been subconsciously inspired by the Superbowl, since I had a super bowl of oats followed by another super bowl of soy yogurt with figs and raisins. I think Bob’s Red Mill is my fave brand of oats now.  They are so fluffy, despite being “quick” oats. I added in creamy peanut butter, carob covered raisins, and vanilla soy milk.  Carob covered raisins are amazing to add in to oats because they melt and you are left with a bowl of raisins along with a slight “chocolate” flavoring to your oats. … Read more >

What’s with my math?

blue sky + sun – clouds = snow?  Wait.  That can’t be right, can it?  Apparently.  I DON’T understand how this east coast weather works.  Anyhoo, s’up kiddos!  Today was a mill times better than yesterday.  Thank you all for your sweet words of encouragement…lord knows I needed it today – heading in to work on the weekend (BOO).  I decided to skip the ‘bucks this morning since I woke up earlier than I needed to and my stomach was relentlessly demanding “feed me.”  I made my own cafe and silk-ed it up big time,… Read more >

have patients

Nope.  Not a typo.  I had QUITE a demanding patient load today at work.  Talk about a shock back into reality.  I’ve been off for about a week now, so I knew it was going to be an abrupt change from the lackadaisical days I’ve been having (lounging around the warm apartment without a hint of an agenda). Anyways, today’s eats were as thrilling as ever.  Ok, I’ll admit it, I’m laying on the sarcasm pretty thick.  Starbucks soy misto to get the day going. Odwalla bar when I couldn’t ignore the growling in my… Read more >

the silk comeback

Oh, SILK soy milk, how I missed you – let me count the ways.  Glass of silk before leaving for work Silky soy latte from Starbucks to kick start my first day back on the unit Soy misto with lunch (from Starbucks, too) And that’s only noon! Here’s my sammie, packed the night before.  It’s smart deli “turkey” with the works. This baby never disappoints!  I also had a Berries GoMega odwalla bar with my AM coffee and the dried fruit with my PM JUG of apple juice.  Yeah, I really really sugar loaded at… Read more >
