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 >

I woke up super early for work today, washed my face, brushed my teeth, threw my afro into a pony, and grabbed my pre-packed lunch from the fridge…when the day kinda took a rough turn… Tumbler full of coffee meet hardwood floor. Blog world meet the culprit. **Gena, I TOLD you I shouldn’t be trusted with a cleaver!!! I headed off to work grumpy and non-caffeinated. Not a great start to the day. Today’s pre-packed eats: Big ‘ol salad, strawberry/pomegranate odwalla bar, apple, dried papaya spears and mangoes. Spinach, broccoli slaw, shredded carrots, clover… Read more >

So, I’m not a huge Valentine’s Day person. In fact, I pretty much refuse to “celebrate” on the actual day. It’s not that I’m anti-romance, it’s just…I don’t need a designated day of the year to display my affection, I love Kyle all year long (and I make sure he knows it all year long)!!! That said. HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!!!!!! I worked today. What can I say, work was work. Lunch: sammie with every color bell pepper Other treats: carob raisins, dried fruit mix, dried pineapple, dried figs, apple, odwalla bar, and lots of… Read more >

Ugh. Of all the mornings to wake up without coffee, this was def poor planning on my Kyle’s part (just kidding, I’m obviously the one that finished it and didn’t buy more). Clearly, a trip to Starbucks was the first task of the day. Nothing makes me happier than the smell of freshly brewed coffee in the AM. Nothing! We got the House Blend (with a free cup of joe). Kyle headed off to MM, so I made myself some toast and sipped my coffee (only way to nurse a hang over). I kinda burnt… Read more >

Last night I definitely woke up 6 times to pee…it might have something to do with my bedtime fluid loading (I’m really annoyed by this cold).Right before I went to bed I had a cup of tea and a glass of pink lemonade flavored Emergen-C. This pink packet was in my “Pilates for Pink” gift bag (yes, from October) and I randomly came across it yesterday, talk about good timing!Cut to today…I feel MUCH better. I woke up at 9 (boo) and was STARVING!! Weird. Anyways, I decided to make the ratio of my morning… Read more >
